Chapter Twenty-Five: An Unsuccessful Hunt

Qin Yi packed up and went downstairs, Ye Fang was already waiting, and when he saw Qin Yi coming down, he immediately surrounded him, "Where's the shotgun?" ”

In fact, firearms can be accessed in the domestic Ye Fang, but they are all played in the shooting range, where there is a natural environment to play refreshing. Although there are some privileges, there are also many restrictions, and the development of a family not only has various allies, but also has many political enemies, not just what you want!

"Remington or Lee Enfield, which one do you use?" Qin Yi showed the shotgun in his bag and asked Ye Fang to pick it himself.

"Remington too? I'm going to Remington! Ye Fang was completely surprised, how cool it was for Remington to bang bang!

Qin Yi handed him Remington and two boxes of 100 rounds of ammunition, and took out two more pistols for him to choose, Ye Fang picked them up one by one and tried them, and finally chose QSG92, a Chinese police 9mm pistol, with a capacity of 15 rounds, Qin Yi checked it, but he didn't load it, and he went to the hunting area to load it again.

Go back to the house and find a backpack, go to the kitchen to load beef jerky, drinking water and fruits, think about it, and bring some salt cumin powder, hit the prey, and roast it at noon to eat is the most fun! After everything was done, take Ye Fang to the stable to lead the horse, of course Qin Yi rode Xiao Hei, Ye Fang's Xiao Brown, and he didn't have many things, so he didn't need to find another horse to carry things.

Say hello to Ryan, and the two of them set off!

Arrived at Qin Yi's tattered shooting range first, Ye Fang took Remington and showed his marksmanship with a few shots, from here, the two officially set off, and the target that was already full of holes was only a few rotten planks scattered on the ground!

After walking for more than 30 minutes, the two crossed several small streams, and saw a small hillside with many shrubs in the distance, and the two walked towards the hillside, where the chance of hitting prey was greater. Walking to a position about two hundred meters away from the hillside, the two dismounted, bent over, and quietly searched forward.

Just now on the other side of the creek, the two of them wanted to hunt a wild duck or something and go back to stew and try it, but the sound of riding a horse was loud, and when they got closer, the wild ducks and waterfowl were alarmed, and a large piece of hula and hula flew away, not to mention hitting wild ducks, and there was not a single wild duck feather left!

After this careless lesson, the two also learned to be obedient, and then whenever they went to a place where there might be prey, they dismounted when they were far away, concealed their bodies, and searched for prey. The two quietly walked forward for about a hundred meters, and then squatted down quietly, staring at the hillside for a few minutes, carefully searching for every suspicious movement, at this time the two had a new depression, Nima, forgot to bring binoculars!

The two of them hunted, and it was funny to say, one had no hunting dogs, and the other had no binoculars, and finding a prey relied on long-distance scanning with the naked eye, which was simply sad to get home!

In the end, it was the first time to hunt alone, and I hadn't consulted Ryan before, so it was easy to forget something, and Ye Fang sighed more than once when he walked from dismounting: "Fortunately, with beef jerky and water, if you can't catch the prey, it's a wild ride!" ”

Qin Yi also laughed quietly, saying that he would definitely be able to shoot some pheasants and hares or something, as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yi found that under the hillside more than 50 meters away, the grass next to a messy rock swayed slightly, and the surrounding grass did not move, it seems that it should not be blown by the wind! Hurriedly pointed at Ye Fang, and then the two of them touched it lightly.

100 meters near this small hillside, the growth of pasture grass is not very good, the plants are sparse, there are few branches and leaves, and there are many weeds in the grass! Because there are a lot of rocks on the ground nearby, it is inconvenient to come to graze or harvest pasture, gradually, the irrigation and management here can not keep up, and the pasture and weeds grow together, becoming a paradise for small animals, and it is also a good place for ranch cowboys to hunt!

It's a pity that the low grass now has caused a lot of annoyance for the two of them to hide their figures.

Maybe that's where the fun of hunting comes in, the battle of wits between hunter and prey!

It took almost 3 minutes for the two of them to get closer to a place more than 30 meters away from the position where the grass was swinging just now, which is too close for hunting, and the slightest movement may scare away the prey! But there is no way, it is still very difficult to find a small target in the weeds for the two who don't have a telescope!

The two of them lay there cautiously, for fear of scaring the prey away!

Qin Yi looked over there and saw a gray long-eared rabbit eating grass leisurely!

"It's a rabbit!" Ye Fang also quietly stretched out his head to take a look, and was immediately happy, but looking at the Remington in his hand, he was a little depressed, this shot himself, and he didn't blow the rabbit to pieces!

"You fight, I'm a Lemington rabbit, a hole in a dozen holes! I'll go back and go back to the big one! ”

Qin Yi smiled, slowly squatted up, raised his gun and aimed!

Looking at the rabbit on the other side of the crosshair, Qin Yi remembered the sight again, this rifle turned around and asked Old Jack to help him install a sight, and it could also be used as a telescope, put aside his thoughts, Qin Yi seriously aimed at the rabbit, this is his first time hunting, but don't miss!

"Bang!"

Qin Yi didn't hesitate anymore when he took aim, and with one shot, the rabbit fell down in response!

Hit!

Qin Yi's face was excited, this was the first time he had hunted, no matter how big or small the prey was, he could be regarded as an advanced hunter!

Ye Fang on the side saw the rabbit lying down, jumped up suddenly, and ran over quickly.

"Hey, what a good marksmanship, a shot in the head, go back and be careful to leave a good skin!" Ye Fang carried the rabbit and fiddled left and right.

Qin Yi took two steps forward, and when he heard Ye Fang's praise, he smiled and said nothing, but he was complaining in his heart: I am aiming at my body, my head is so small, what if I miss!

I took the rabbit and looked at it, and sure enough, it could be seen that the bullet was piercing the head from the left ear and coming out near the right eye!

Well, aim for the body and hit the head, well, marksmanship needs to be improved!

Weigh it, it's almost 3 catties, peaty, eat my grass and raise yourself so fat, you deserve to be killed by me and eat meat, go back and ask Ryan to help peel the skin, this skin should be good to keep for my mother to make a pair of gloves! Pull a few grasses as ropes, tie the prey, and wait for the horse to hang. Rope, you say? I didn't bring it, we didn't bring it lightly, you see we didn't even bring a telescope, just to reduce the weight, yes, it is to reduce the weight!

"Let's go and fight some big animals, I'm carrying Remington, and the small animals don't dare to make a move! I've heard that there are a lot of white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, moose, etc. here in Montana! ”

"It's the end of June, and this season, white-tailed deer are usually in the dense forests in the mountains. Let's go to hunt white-tailed deer on National Day, and then the white-tailed deer will go down the mountain and look for food in the pasture. The eldest and second are also here, let's go together! ”

As soon as Ye Fang heard that he couldn't fight the white-tailed deer, he was suddenly a little disappointed, as if he couldn't lift his energy: "That's okay, next time I come, let's camp together!" ”

Qin Yi nodded, feeling a little helpless, after all, he had just taken over the ranch, he was too anxious to hunt this time, he didn't even have a hunting dog, if he went to the mountains or woodlands to hunt, he would have to worry about being attacked by carnivores! Forget it, the pasture has been straightened out in the past few months, and some more hunting dogs will be raised, and they will have a good time on National Day! Qin Yi didn't delay any longer, beckoned Ye to put on his horse and continue to search for prey.

This time, the destination is a grove in the distance, and it can almost be reached by running for half an hour on horseback, but after all, it is a sin to go out to hunt, pay attention to entertainment, and go straight to the destination and ignore the scenery in front of them, so the two of them rode forward on horseback, and when they saw the prey, they still dismounted and hunted.

And just when Qin Yi used Li Enfield to hit a pheasant in the bushes again, Ye Fang finally couldn't help it, put Remington, who had been holding it in his hand, on his back, and took out the QSG92 pistol pinned to the belt, intending to use the pistol to hit a few small animals to have a good time!

So, along the way the two of them, from time to time, with a few bang-bang guns, a rabbit or pheasant jumped up quickly, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only a depressed Ye Fang!

Finding a hare again, Ye Fang raised his pistol to aim, seeing that the scene just now was about to be staged again, Qin Yi hurriedly handed Li Enfield over.

"Okay, okay, use this, pistol hunting, you're weird enough!"

Ye Fang smiled: "Dude, you still have to practice this marksmanship, you can't hit at a distance of 30 meters!" "Took the shotgun, loaded, aimed, and shot, all in one go, Qin Yi, who was watching it, felt that this shot couldn't hit, it was simply unreasonable!

Sure enough, one shot hits!

Ye Fang jumped up happily, rushed over to pick up the pheasant, and shook it at Qin Yi with a smile, seeing that Qin Yi was a pleasure, he was still so childish when he played!

Ye Xiao followed Qin Yi, hung the prey on the horse's neck, swayed it for a long time, and saw him grinning, haha, we also have prey!

The two got on their horses and continued on their way. More than forty minutes passed, and along the way, the two of them shot alternately, and hit 2 hares and 3 pheasants, and also saw a fox, but when Qin Yi wanted to make a move, he let it run away first!

When they arrived at the edge of the grove, it was already noon, and the two decided to have lunch first and go in in the afternoon. An open field was selected as a temporary station, and then Ye Fang picked up firewood, and Qin Yi went to the creek to clean up the two pheasants. Fortunately, Qin Yi is also a cowboy now, and he carries an outdoor multi-functional knife with him, and he is just waiting for disembowelment, and he will soon clean it up.

Before going back, Qin Yi dug a pit and buried all the internal organs cleaned up, otherwise, rotting would also cause some damage to the pasture, and if it attracted large carnivores, it would be unlucky, although they are all on the mountain now and will not come down easily, but everything has a case!

Back at the station, Ye Fang had already lit a fire and was sitting and drinking water. Qin Yi threaded the chicken with a branch, handed it to Ye Fang, and the two roasted it while chatting. The pheasant is generally small, and after plucking and removing the internal organs, the meat is only the size of two fists, Qin Yi and the two foodies feel that it is not enough to eat, so they cut a pound of beef jerky in the backpack, and the two of them divide it, and then eat a fruit and finally feel full!

After resting for half an hour, the two packed up their things, left the horses here, and walked along the creek into the woods. The forest is small, distributed along the creek, less than 300 meters long and more than 100 meters wide. The two walked along the creek, alarming an unknown bird from time to time, in fact, they met a lot of birds along the way, but both of them were not interested in bird hunting, pheasants can be hunted, what to do with birds!

In the surrounding trees, many little squirrels were jumping up and down to look at them, probably curious about what these two strange two-legged animals were doing.

Qin Yi also looked at the squirrel curiously, he had heard that the squirrel was very cute before, and he had seen pictures on TV, but it was the first time he had seen a live squirrel. But after a few glances, I think the big tail is not bad, and the others are not cute!

I didn't care about it, turned my head and continued walking, and suddenly noticed that next to the big tree root in front of me, there was a bare branch hanging and swinging on the water.

Got prey tickling on a small dry tree?

Qin Yi hurriedly grabbed Ye Fang and squatted down, and looked over there carefully, the branches were still moving! Suddenly, the branches of the tree jerked up, revealing a large head underneath!

Nima, it's a big-horned deer drinking by the stream!
