The drizzle turned into snowflakes at midnight and fell slowly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At dawn, the snow seemed to come to an abrupt end. Ye Mu was wrapped in a down jacket and opened the gate, the outside was covered with a thin layer of snow, and the inside of the field was only black and white. The sleigh that saw the snow for the first time ran out with joy. The dog's nose 'snorted' and exhaled white air......
"Ahh......h
The second fool looked up to the sky and roared and played role-playing.
Dasha was tumbling and rolling in the fields, running from east to west.
The three silly and cute smiles and stands behind Xiaohua, as if they are faithful guards.
Ye Mu couldn't help but smile and pointed to Dasha and Ersil who were playing in the field.
"Squeak!" The chipmunk glanced at him, jumped and stood on Satsuma's back, like a European knight in the Middle Ages, his little paws pointed towards him, and Satsuma rushed out.
The sky was still overcast, and it seemed that a bigger storm was brewing.
This winter, the snow season has been brought forward by half a month. Before the pastures have prepared food for the cattle and sheep for the winter, the grass and barley straw on the farm become the most sought-after commodities.
Early in the morning, a lot of vehicles came to the countryside. Farm employees, as well as family members of employees who are not on the farm, also go out to record the traffic and vehicles.
On the three dirt roads leading in and out of the farm, trucks and suspended pickup trucks hauled truckloads of pasture and barley stalks.
Wheat is easier to sell than barley, and barley is grown because the straw is soft, and it is better than other straws, whether it is used for livestock grass or roughage.
The small town of Parker has a small number of farms, but the nearby places of East and West Ges and Chautto are rich in animal husbandry. Many people think that the pasture is just a prairie, and the cattle and sheep are driven over to graze and let it grow meat freely. This is a big mistake, the grassland is only a shelf cattle, and the fat cattle that taste better and enter the supermarket are almost all intensively raised.
During Montana's long winters, a fattening beef cow can eat almost a ton of hay. Preparing enough forage is a must-do for every ranch before the long winter arrives.
For this reason, the farm is in the last bloom before the snow season.
Ye Mu wanted to hunt in the mountains, preferably wild boar, whether it was to make dog food or bacon after smoking......
The sky was overcast, and it was the last time to enter the mountains. If you miss it, you will have to wait for the next year.
With a gun on his back and a mask, Ye Mu drove to the machinery warehouse and asked if the helicopter could take off. Ron's answer was safety, weather forecast, and snow would not fall until noon.
Ye Mu called Zhang Dongsheng, and then forcibly endured the fear of high altitude and boarded the plane, saying, "I want to go to the mountains to hunt two wild boars." ”
"OK, we're on it." Ron calls out to his friend, Frank.
Frank was Ron's comrade-in-arms, and the two served at the same time and had a friendship for many years. The bird helicopter entered the mountain, and Frank took out his telescope to observe.
Counting this time, Ye Mu took a helicopter for the fourth time, and his adverse reaction to the high place was reduced a lot, but he was still so nervous that he couldn't do it. The helicopter entered the mountains along the third stream, and when it reached the No. 3 valley, the helicopter landed on the grass, Ye Mu held the gun, and the cat got off the plane and entered the woods.
After the helicopter left, Ron's voice came over the intercom: "Boss, Frank and I went upstream to search for prey, you found a high ground and prepared to snipe." ”
"Be careful when driving, the valley ahead is narrow."
"Know ......"
After a light snowfall overnight, there was only a thin layer of soil on the farm, but the inside of the mountain was covered with a white veil. On the treetops, on the top of the mountain, a silvery white patch.
Ye Mu stepped on small stones to cross the river and climbed to the pile of rubble on the opposite bank.
After waiting for ten minutes, Ron's voice came over the intercom: "Hey, boss......"
"Say."
"Two wild boars have been found, and we are driving them over."
"Okay."
Ye Mu put on the magazine, opened the safe, loaded, found a convenient position for shooting, and adjusted the rhythm of breathing.
After a moment's wait, the sound of a helicopter propeller could be heard from across the valley. Two wild boars running wildly appeared in the wide No. 3 valley, Ye Mu adjusted the scope and opened fire after the prey entered four hundred meters. After the gunshot, the wild boar that was running at the front instantly fell on his heel and rolled out five or six meters away......
The shot hit the head and killed instantly.
Exit the cartridge case and reload another bullet......
Take aim and hold your breath.
Two guns and two wild boars, clean and neat.
Frank's exclamation came over the intercom: "Beautiful! ”
Ye Mu was about to collect his gun, and a group of wild deer ran behind him.
There are three mule-sized male moose, and the others are white-tailed deer, and there are quite a few of them......
There were still three bullets in the magazine, Ye Mu was too lazy to withdraw the bullets, and three shots were missed. One moose and two white-tailed deer......
Of the five bullets, none of them missed, and all of them killed with one shot.
In mid-air, Frank, who was observing everything, shouted incredulously. Ye Mu's current level is comparable to the ace sniper in the US army.
Ron had seen Ye Mu's marksmanship, and without making a fuss, he drove the helicopter back to the depths of the mountain again.
Ye Mu came to the prey, and while the prey's blood had not yet cooled, he hurriedly dumped them on the tree with a rope and cut them on the neck.
"Boss, I received a weather notice from Glacier Park, heavy snow is coming, we have to rush back as soon as possible."
“ok。 Go back and drive a pickup truck ......."
"Okay."
As the words fell, white snowflakes fell from the sky.
After all, the Little Bird helicopter is a military series, and the current light snow will not have much impact on it.
The helicopter flew over Ye Mu's head, and Ye Mu checked his prey.
The largest is naturally the moose, which, judging by its size, weighs at least seven hundred kilograms, a veritable behemoth. Two wild boars, one large and one small, the larger one may be more than a hundred kilograms, and the smaller one should have sixty kilograms.
With time, Ye Mu became more and more aware of his own changes. It's like this moose, an adult moose, 700 kilograms is not less. With such a weight, although Ye Mu couldn't carry it, it was still very easy to hang it up with a rope and bleed half.
The whole hunting process takes no more than an hour, which can be described as fast.
The snow in the sky was getting heavier and heavier.
Ye Mu's fingers were stiff from the cold, and he couldn't complain about the local weather forecast in Montana.
I moved my body vigorously, trying to find wood to make a fire, but I found that I was in a hurry to go out and didn't bring a lighter.
"Hey Boss, do you need our help?" On the intercom, Reiter asked.
"Thank goodness you're in Valley Three?"
"It's right at the mouth of the valley."
At the same time, the sound of the engine unique to all-terrain four-wheel drive off-road came from the direction of Taniguchi, which was the mountain and forest guards recruited by Leite and Ye Mu in order to hide people's eyes.
