* 4,000 words big chapter sent, one chapter top two chapters, there is wood! It seems that tonight is the rhythm of staying up late again! Children's shoes go to bed early!

In fact, after arriving outside the ranch, from yesterday evening to this morning, Qin Yi and his party have seen no less than 100 white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer and other large herbivores near the fence!

But the vast majority are doe, and as is customary, no one hunts them.

And a small number of male deer, without exception, are younger, the largest white-tailed deer, only 7 or 8 forks, and this is not worth fighting!

Hunting, it's still easy to find a prey, but you can't always hunt for the sake of catching a prey, just completing the quantitative requirements, so what is the value of hunting, and what is the difference between indiscriminate killing?

Hunting, for Qin Yi and his party, who have a rich material life, is more for fun, and the number of prey allowed is limited, so you have to find some valuable prey!

For example, if you hit a 7 or 8-forked white-tailed deer and make it into a specimen, you will not get praise and admiration, but only contempt and disgust, after all, such a white-tailed deer can be found casually.

But if you hunt a ten-fork or even fifteen-sixteen forked buck, it is the capital that can show off a lifetime!

Scarcity is expensive, that's the thing.

This is also the reason why Qin Yi and his party ran from east to west and never hit their prey.

At this time, Qin Yi and the others had already slowed down, and under the cover of the jungle at the foot of the mountain, they searched forward seriously, and even Angel kept quiet under Susa's instructions.

However, because the adults searched carefully, they looked a little sneaky, which provoked the little girl to be cautious, stepping on children's skis and following Qin Yi with her waist down. Curious to look around.

That cute little appearance made the three people at the back, Susa, Chlo, and Sara smile.

At this time, when he arrived at the ground, Qin Yi didn't hold Teddy anymore, and the fat little brown bear followed McGee, grinding and chirping, and walked at the back of the team. But I didn't feel anxious at all.

In this way, the mother and son walked and played, rubbing the trunk of the tree for a while, shaking the snowflakes flying, and digging in the snow for a while, looking down at the dead branches and leaves and sniffing, which was a bit of a walk.

Qin Yi noticed this scene and was satisfied, it was better to follow McGee. I can learn some wilderness survival skills.

The snow here is even more cluttered, and the hoof prints of animals can be seen everywhere, and Ryan and Hobbes point to the hoof prints and whisper to everyone, white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, pronghorn antelope, springbok, and even giant herbivores such as moose and red deer.

It seems that there are not only many animals on the outskirts of the pasture, but also many species.

Qin Yi looked at the moose and red deer hoof prints like cow and horses' hoof prints, and remembered the moose that McGee had hunted before. I secretly regretted that I knew that I should apply for a place for a few moose. The meat of this large deer species is really good to eat!

Well, Qin Yi admits that he is also a foodie!

But there was also some trouble, because as he thought on the road yesterday, the gathering of herbivores. Surely it will attract predators.

His suspicions were confirmed after a few minutes of searching.

Ryan, who was at the forefront, pointed sharply to the big tree a few meters away, and whispered cautiously: "Hey, Yi." Come and see, coyote paw prints! ”

With a reminder, Ryan and Hobbs immediately looked around carefully again, and the shotgun that had been on their backs because of skiing with both hands was also held in their hands.

In the wild, if you don't find any trace of a predator, you can't be vigilant, and if you don't be vigilant after you find a clue, you're dead!

Qin Yi hurriedly stepped forward to check, and sure enough, on the snow next to the big tree, there were footprints like plum blossoms, slightly larger than those of cattle dogs, and with claw tips, which were the footprints of coyotes, because the footprints of dogs were not so big, but the footprints of gray wolves were larger than this.

Only coyotes fit this characteristic.

Coyotes are the product of a cross between dogs and wolves, and some evolved from stray dogs, which are cunning and ferocious, and are common at the junction of state grasslands and pastures.

Of course, if the dogs are black rice and wheat, although their paws are not as large as those of adult gray wolves, they are also larger than coyotes, but it is obvious that the dogs in the pasture cannot come here alone!

Qin Yi frowned, his conjecture came true.

"Yi, will it be dangerous?" Amanda came over, this big girl was still inevitably a little worried when she really might encounter a beast like a wolf.

She watched her surroundings carefully, and the thought of a few wolves hiding in the corner watching her group gave her goosebumps all over her body!

Sara wasn't much better than her, and unconsciously leaned over to Qin Yi's side, looking around with a shotgun, looking cautious.

However, Susa and Kolo didn't care too much, because when they came to camp with Qin Yi in the summer, they had even seen gray wolves that were two meters long, and the coyotes who were two sizes smaller didn't care too much.

And the black rice and wheat are all here, and with their physique, coyotes may not be able to fight them!

Not to mention McGee in the back, this big guy is not afraid of 7 or 8 gray wolves alone, and coyotes are even more trivial!

In fact, they don't know that the current McGee has been transformed, and there is no problem with more than a dozen of them, and the strength, speed, and physical strength have doubled, but it is not so simple to say, and they can compete with adult male bears!

When Qin Yi heard this, he looked at the worried expressions of the two sisters, and smiled comfortingly: "Haha, don't worry, Amanda, so many of us are carrying guns, three or five coyotes are not terrible, besides, there is McGee here!" ”

The two sisters tightened the shotgun in their hands, and then looked at McGee, who was playing with Teddy behind, and breathed a sigh of relief, yes, with McGee here, there is really no danger if you don't encounter a large wolf pack.

The group continued to walk forward, but because of the sighting of the coyote, the hunting party became more cautious, and the atmosphere was a little dignified, and the playful mentality of outing along the way was gone.

The formation was shrunk, the women and children gathered in the middle, and not far to the right was the ranch fence, and McGee was watching from behind, but there was no danger that something would happen.

Therefore, Ye Fang guarded the periphery on the left side, and Qin Yi walked in front with Ryan and Hobbs, in case of an accident, the three men were more calm and more accurate in marksmanship.

Black rice and wheat also smelled a faint uneasiness in the ranks. Following Qin Yi's feet, two pairs of black eyes, blazing, they were the most loyal companions, meticulously probing for any suspicious situation.

And just like that, follow the footsteps of the deer. A few people came to the edge of the grove, and their eyes suddenly opened up, because dozens of meters away from the group in front of the right was a low-lying land, and the situation in it made the team who were still a little worried suddenly become energetic!

"Hey, guys, get down!"

Ryan and Hobbes smiled. hid behind the tree for the first time, and then saw that Amanda and Ye Fang were still looking at it with their heads stretched out, and immediately reminded in a low voice.

The two of them, who had been looking forward to hunting a big deer, quickly collected the excitement in their hearts and squatted down behind the two of Lane, but they still showed half of their heads and looked around, wanting to see if there was a suitable target.

Sousa hugs Angel with Chloe and Sarah. The cat bent his waist and leaned behind Qin Yi.

At this time. Qin Yi was also hiding behind a big tree, also with joy on his face, this is the deer herd that has been looking for most of the morning, and it is finally about to harvest!

That's right, in the low-lying area, it's a large herd of deer. Not only 7 or 8 heads, as previously judged, but nearly 20 heads!

After a rough glance just now, he judged that there were at least two deer with more than ten forks inside!

Angel hid behind Qin Yi, remembering Susa's instructions. I didn't speak loudly all the way, and occasionally I was curious about something, and I whispered in Susa's ear, and at this time, seeing the performance of the adults, I immediately became interested in the low-lying area.

She didn't see it just now, but now she stepped forward, so she naturally wanted to see it clearly.

The little girl followed the example of an adult, secretly exposed half of her little head, opened her eyes and glanced over there, and quickly retracted it, as if she would be discovered after looking at it for half a second, a novel and exciting feeling made her feel very funny.

"Wow, Uncle Yi, there are so many deer, and there are big deer!"

The little girl opened her mouth and looked at Qin Yi with wide eyes, as if she had just seen an amazing scene, pointing at the low-lying ground with her little fat finger, her expression was shocked, but in the eyes of the adults, she felt cute and cute.

"Yes, yes, there are a lot of big deer there. Let's take a few deer home with us, shall we? ”

Qin Yi carefully observed again, it is indeed true, two ten-forked deer, one with twelve forks and one with fourteen forks, it seems that there is going to be a big harvest today!

But before the fight, you still have to coax the little girl first, if you don't make it clear, the little girl will be sad.

Maybe you can take her to the side and let Ye Fang and a few people hunt secretly, but educating children can't be escaped.

"But the fawns are lovely! Moreover, if you hit the big deer, the little deer will be without a mother! When the little girl heard that she was going to fight the deer, she was a little reluctant and muttered pitifully.

She still remembered what Susa said yesterday, the fawn would be so sad to leave her mother, she didn't want to eat, she would be hungry!

Qin Yi naturally remembered it, and glanced at Susa helplessly, only to see that she also shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and had to think of other ways at the moment.

At this time, Chloe's big eyes blinked twice, and he came up with an idea: "Angel, we only fight one or two, so many big deer here are the mother of the fawn, and they will live with the fawn, and the fawn will not be considered to have left their mother." Moreover, Don't you want to eat venison burritos? Wow, I can't wait to eat it! ”

Venison burritos?

The little girl's big eyes lit up, and she suddenly unconsciously chirped and wanted to eat!

At that moment, she hesitated and asked, "Then, does Xiaolu really have a mother?" ”

"Of course!" Qin Yi hurriedly spoke, and at the same time did not forget to glance at Koloe appreciatively, the method was really good, knowing that the little girl was a snack, he would seduce her with delicious food!

"We only shoot two, there are more than a dozen big deer here, and they are all the mothers of these little deer!"

The little girl stretched out her little head to look at the deer herd again, and then looked at Qin Yi with big eyes, thinking about the problem of the fawn and the burrito, her little face was a little tangled, but in the end, the burri defeated the fawn!

"Alright then, both ends!" The little girl stretched out two fat white fingers and shook them at the adults.

Her smile made everyone smile.

The matter was settled like this, Qin Yi handed over the rest to Ye Fang and Ryan, picked up the little girl, and walked away with Susa and Kolo.

The scene of shooting and bloodshed, it is better not to let the children see it too early.

Sara wanted to walk away with them, but Amanda insisted that she stay and take pictures of herself, saying that she wanted to record the scene of the first white-tailed deer as a testimony to her life experience!

There was no way, Sara had to stay with her.

The antlers of these two male deer are very beautiful, not only have many forks, each of them is more than ten forks, and the appearance is smooth and beautiful, which is most suitable for deer head specimens, so both Ryan and Hobbes are a little excited!

They don't have many chances to see such a big deer, it's all up to luck.

And because of the restrictions on hunting, only Ryan has hit one, and Hobbes has not!

However, Ye Fang came from afar specifically to hunt, and Amanda was a girl's family, so the two of them were not good old men to compete, so they had to give up the opportunity to the two of them, and they regretted watching from the sidelines.

So, Ye Fang and Amanda discussed, the twelve forks belonged to Ye Fang, and the fourteen forks belonged to Amanda, the two of them hid their bodies behind the tree, the bullets were loaded, just waiting for Ryan to report the number, and then pull the trigger at the same time!

The two of them squinted and aimed at not mentioning it for the time being, and on Qin Yi's side, the three of them took the little girl to play with McGee.

There, you can't see the situation in the low-lying ground, so you don't have to worry about the little girl seeing the scene of the big deer being shot and bleeding.

At this time, McGee was holding the rhizome of an unknown plant and nibbling sweetly, and Teddy had a piece, but the little fellow did not eat it, and played on the trunk of a dead tree by himself, climbing up and down, and falling from time to time, but still interested!

"Bang! Bang! ”

At this time, two dull gunshots, less than half a second before and after, startled McGee, animals are naturally sensitive to these things that can threaten life, Qin Yi hurriedly went up to appease, while guessing the results of Ye Fang's hunting.

Before he could finish thinking about it, several people more than twenty meters away let out a loud or small exclamation as the gunshots fell.

Qin Yi and the three of them were shocked, thinking that something had happened, so they quickly looked back, only to see that the black rice and wheat had already rushed up, and Amanda quickly loaded again, with a "bang", another shot!

At this point, Ryan and Hobbes, and even Sara raised their shotguns, but they didn't shoot.

When Qin Yi saw this, he immediately understood what was happening.

There was indeed an accident, but it was Amanda who missed, and the first shot missed the prey, or missed the vital point, and when the prey wanted to run, she fired again!

As for the three of Ryan, raising the gun is only subconscious, but they will not shoot, because it is not their prey, and shooting casually will make Amanda feel embarrassed.

At this time, Ye Fang looked at the direction that Amanda was aiming, and he was both happy and worried, this expression made Qin Yi guess that his prey should have arrived, and now his worry was an accident against Amanda.

At this time, Amanda, who fired two shots in a row, finally smiled, and several people next to him also breathed a sigh of relief, letting Qin Yi know that Amanda grabbed the two and also took the prey.

Hunting here, there is an unwritten rule, that is, a prey, a maximum of three shots, if you can't keep it, then you can't shoot again!

This is to leave a glimmer of life for the prey, a bit of a sense of providence and fate.

And Amanda took down the prey with two shots, which also made Qin Yi breathe a sigh of relief, if the dozen forks of the deer that he finally found were let go because he missed, it would be depressing!

Handing over the little girl to Susa and Kolo, Qin Yi ran over to take a look, and found that black rice and wheat were biting a big deer that was slightly closer and dragging it to this side, it was the one that Ye Fang knocked down with a shot, and the bullet hit the door of the head, this marksmanship made Qin Yi wonder if this guy had hit the big luck!

And Amanda's one had two wounds, one on the neck and the other between the sternum, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and the whole snow was stained red!

This scene made Amanda and Sara, who were too excited, uncomfortable for a while, their faces were obviously a little pale, and after looking at them twice, they finally didn't dare to look at it again, and ran to McGee's side together, intending to chat with Susa and Chloe to relieve the pressure.
