North American moose, the largest deer in the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The head that Ye Mu hunted reached six hundred kilograms, and it took three or four adults to work together to lift it.
The deer hit was killed instantly, and Hank took out a knife and bled the deer.
"Think it's cruel?" Hank asked, putting away his knife.
"Well, I'm not used to it." Ye Mu nodded, he bought a gun, practiced marksmanship, and hunted. It's not easy to hunt hares, let alone large animals.
"Hehe......" Hank smiled, patted Ye Mu on the shoulder, and said, "Except for the pure white moose symbolic artifact, the other moose are no longer protected. You must know that the number of moose in Montana is also quite large, because of the body structure, moose on the road, if hit by a car, the traffic accident is often very tragic. ”
Hank said that there have been several traffic accidents caused by moose, which has thin limbs and hits the windshield with its heavy body after being hit by a car, in which case the airbag in the car may not be able to pop out as usual. In Montana, there are more than 100 traffic accidents caused by moose every year. By the way, don't ask if you can take it home to eat after hitting the moose, this kind of question is very speechless, most of the drivers who hit the moose are dead, and those who don't die are seriously injured.
"That's what we humans do." Ye Mu was speechless and said.
"We hunt and we protect at the same time. Man and nature, animals and nature, need to maintain a certain balance. Every year, we only hunt a certain number to maintain the population of deer so that they do not overbreed...... The moose and white-tailed deer on our farms have reached a tipping point, and if they are not controlled by humans, they are a big threat to the farm. Too many of them, and they themselves are prone to epidemics. ”
Ye Mu nodded and said, "I haven't hunted before, but I'm slowly getting used to it." ”
"The farm has 170,000 acres of mountainous area, and the best environment for white-tailed deer and moose is less than 100,000 acres. In general, twenty acres live one white-tailed deer, and thirty to fifty acres live one moose. The number of wild white-tailed deer and moose in the mountains of the farm has seriously exceeded expectations, with the number of wild moose well exceeding 500, and we plan to kill at least 20 male deer before the snow season begins. By the way, there are wild boars in the mountains, and this guy is even more harmful. ”
"North American wild boar? Crazy black bears are afraid of three-point breeds? Ye Mu doesn't like to hunt wild deer, but he doesn't have the slightest sympathy for the notorious wild boar.
"That's it. Wild boars are suitable for a wide range of environments...... American wild boars are imported from other countries, but after long-term breeding and no natural predators, overbreeding of wild boars has become a disaster. According to this year's Wildlife Statistics Organization, the number of wild boars in the United States has surpassed seven million. And the area where they live is relatively concentrated......" Hank said, spreading his hands, "Montana, there are more wild animals than people, but it's not an Internet joke. Montana's soil, where almost the vast majority of animals thrive. ”
Ye Mu saw wild boars in his hometown when he was a child, and he only remembered that the taste was very good: "I hope to hit a few heads, the taste of wild boar meat is still good compared to venison." ”
"Uh-huh, it tastes good, this guy's temperament is also fierce, if you are at close range, it is very dangerous to kill without a shot. By the way, every year from May to July, wild boars will come out of the mountains and go to the fields to eat wheat. If you see a wild boar, it is better not to act alone and not to try to chase it away, that will only anger it. Hank cleaned his knife, thought for a moment, and said, "Before, there were two helicopters on the farm, and when we were hunting, there were helicopters searching for prey. At the same time, helicopters are also used to drive away wild animals and respond to possible emergencies. ”
Hank said that some of the barley in May and June was tender and green, attracting mountain animals to come out and find food. The tender barley seedlings are very attractive to wild deer, wild boar, and other wild animals. So much so that wheat fields close to mountainous areas, even if they are surrounded by barbed wire, are difficult to prevent. Helicopters are not only used as a means of transportation for wildlife and emergencies, but also for the main purpose of observing the growth of crops and using the wind generated by the helicopter's rotors to help pollinate barley......
"I have already booked three helicopters, which will be delivered next year. A McDonnell Douglas 600N, a Bell 206, a civilian version of the Bird helicopter. ”
Hearing this, Hank suddenly wanted to say two words: 'I'.
Helicopters used on farms, should they be so luxurious. Previously, there were two civilian helicopters on the farm, and Hank felt that it was very luxurious.
Now one of the three members of the world's safest and quietest helicopter family, the MD-600N is a multi-role helicopter that can be used for a wide range of flight activities such as news gathering, administrative transportation, air medical ambulance, air tours and air law enforcement support.
Bell 206, a light multi-purpose helicopter developed by the American company Bell on the basis of the OH-4A light observation helicopter. The helicopter can be used for passenger-bearing, troop-transporting, cargo, rescue, ambulance, surveying and mapping, farmland operations, oil field development, and administrative duties. Bell 206 helicopter users call it the safest and most reliable helicopter. Compared to the MD-600N, it can adapt to harsher weather and environments.
The civilian version of the Bird helicopter, that is, the military 'Bird' with the armament removed. As for the use and performance, needless to say, there are power maintenance companies that use it to carry repair personnel to directly overhaul high-voltage power lines.
"I remember several people on the farm who had helicopter licenses."
"Yes, I'm one of them. Not only driving, but also taking care of the overhaul and maintenance of the helicopter ourselves. Hank let out a sigh of relief.
"You are so capable, you are forcing me to raise my salary." Ye Mu smiled and continued: "I also ordered three multi-functional agricultural aircraft, and in the future, we will complete the work of sprinkling pesticides, spreading fertilizers, etc. I remember that Carey had a license to pilot a small plane, otherwise, you convinced him to come back to work on the farm? ”
Carey, Hank's son, is a member of the Glacier Park Search and Rescue Team.
"I'll try."
Ye Mu was not reluctant, and he just said it casually, and he felt relieved to use his own people.
On the other hand, everyone carried the moose onto the pickup and prepared to return.
When I got home, it was almost evening. In the evening, another event celebrates the success of the hunt.
At the edge farm in Parker Town, Heisei has a limited program. In Huaxi Farm, everyone lives in a relatively concentrated area, and they will get together every once in a while to have fun.
The moose were sent directly to Hank's yard for disposal.
Ye Mu went home and took a shower, changed into a set of clothes, and then came to Hank's house, where everyone gathered. Hank is preparing a local specialty.
This dish is a bit disgusting, even in China, which claims to be the most delicious, seeing the practice of this 'delicacy' also means that Alexander is difficult to eat.
After taking a look in the kitchen, Ye Mu retreated.
The top 10 most bizarre and disgusting delicious food in the world, moose nose gel, ranked sixth. Although disgusting, unlike non-canned fish, moose nose gel is fine just looking at the finished product, but after knowing the method, it will make people lose their appetite, and even nausea, but it is very delicious. In the words of Hank and others, the dish was a little disgusting, but after eating it, I wanted to eat it again.
Ye Mu himself has a little bit of cleanliness, Hank They said that the sky was crazy, Ye Mu still couldn't eat it, so he took a piece of steak and grilled it outside.
