Chapter 32: Vacation and Hunting (3)

"Heyβ€”" Lord Pei sighed enviously as he looked at the pickup truck farther and farther away, and walked back into the house. Who made them children, old George said, there are wolves in the forest, and children can't go with them. Being able to follow to the ranch for a vacation is already Pepe and Ash Sappo rolled around and finally begged grandpa to agree, as for going hunting with him, he didn't even think about it.

Ash wasn't uncommon to go hunting with him, and his mind was now full of ponies in the stables. After saying hello to Julie, he dragged a young cowboy to the stable to look at the ponies.

Pepe returns to the house and sees Mark's blonde girlfriend sitting in front of the couch drinking coffee, and after saying hello, she sits on the couch and turns on the TV and watches the children's channel.

On the other side, the pickup truck has stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Old George beckoned everyone to get out of the car, took the guys, led the cattle dogs, and the group went into the forest with great interest.

Li Chenghua carried his Remington 700 rifle, led his father Li Yigang, followed the old hunter George, and walked towards the forest step by step.

"I won't take you to the depths of the forest today, there are wolves in the mountains, and bears, I heard that the boss said that he would take you over to hunt, yesterday I went to the town to get a deer hunting license, we can shoot a total of 10 male deer, so we will look for it on the periphery of the forest, you all follow me, don't move around." Old George sternly admonished everyone.

In the United States, hunting is legal, in order to prevent the proliferation of species, wildlife protection agencies will issue a batch of hunting licenses every year, hunters only need to bring their identity to the Wildlife Conservation Association to apply for a variety of wild hunting licenses, such as deer hunting licenses, bear hunting licenses, fox hunting licenses, wolf hunting licenses, etc., you can legally hunt wild animals. Of course, pheasants and hares do not need these documents, and they can be hunted at any time.

George Sr. applied for a deer hunting license yesterday, which can legally hunt 10 male deer in the wild.

"George Sr. is not only a great cowboy, but also a great hunter. Everyone walked lightly, and following old George, he could find the deer through the guΓ² footprints. Mark whispered to his friends.

Everyone nodded and followed behind old George with their guns on their shoulders.

After walking in the forest for about twenty minutes, old George turned around and made a quiet gesture to everyone, pointed to a string of animal footprints on the ground, and said: "There is a group of deer walking here, and there is a water source not far in front, it is estimated that the deer are going there to drink water. ”

Li Chenghua nodded excitedly, the rifle in his hand involuntarily raised, turned back to his father Li Yigang and whispered: "Daddy, you haven't hit a target, you just watched me shoot for a while, and when you go back, you will see a hare and pheasant and the like and shoot you two more times." ”

The old man glanced at his son a little unhappily, "snorted", and hurriedly followed behind old George, leaving his son behind. Seeing the old man's unhappy back, Li Chenghua touched his nose and followed with a gun.

The group walked cautiously for about ten minutes, and in the distance they heard the sound of water and the sound of deer, and not far away by a small stream, the doe was playing by the stream, and the male deer was vigilantly patrolling the surroundings.

Old George made a stop gesture and pointed to the right direction at Mark, who immediately patted Li Chenghua's shoulder, and then patted the shoulders of the other two friends, signaling to follow.

Li Chenghua followed Mark and the other two to move lightly to the right, slowly dispersed, and outflanked the deer.

Mark squatted down in front of a bush that was almost a man tall, and then turned back to Li Chenghua and the others and motioned to each find a hiding spot to hide. Everyone nodded in understanding, found a hidden position, opened the safety bolt, and made an "OK" gesture to Mark, who picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered "OK" to Old George not far away.

Old George on the other end of the walkie-talkie gave an order: "Everyone listen to me count, and when you count to three, shoot at your target at the same time, remember, don't point your gun at the doe and the fawn." ”

Li Chenghua also hid behind a pile of bushes, the safety bolt had already been opened, he stabilized his breathing, the scope was pointed at a male deer with eight-pronged antlers, and he listened to the countdown of old George on the walkie-talkie: "One, two, three, shoot!" ”

"Bang-" Li Chenghua pulled the wrench, and the stag in the scope fell, "yes! ”

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the stags fell to the ground, and the doe fled in a panic with the fawns. Old George led the group out of the bushes and towards the fallen prey.

There were a total of seven shotguns, and there were five stag that fell to the ground, which was a good catch.

George Sr. did not shoot himself, but lent the gun to Li Yigang at Li Yigang's pleading. The old man hunted for the first time in his life, and under the guidance of old George, he actually hit a stag in the shit luck.

"Today's harvest is good, there is a male deer with twelve-forked antlers, who hits this deer, you can cut off the deer head and take it back as a specimen." Old George walked past the fallen prey one by one and commented.

"I fired the gun!" Mark walked out of the bushes with his shotgun in his hand and kicked his prey.

Old George pulled out a sharp machete from his trouser leg and struck it hard at the neck of the twelve-horned stag, cutting off the deer's head and handing it to Mark. Mark pulled a large plastic bag out of his backpack and put the deer's head inside.

Old George crouched down and began to skin the headless deer.

Li Chenghua also walked out of the bushes and walked to the prey he had hit, the male deer was not completely dead, bleeding and falling to the ground and convulsing. Li Chenghua borrowed a machete from old George, and also swung it down and cut off the deer's head. Contentedly looked at the eight large forks on the deer's head.

"You can take these deer heads and skins with you, and tomorrow I will take you to old John in town, whose craftsmanship is first-class, and when the time comes, you can make the deer heads into specimens, and the deer skins can be made into boots and wallets." Old George had a first-class skill in skinning, and he peeled off the deerskin in three or two strokes.

Not far away, the old man Li Yigang was calling his son to come over to help, Li Chenghua hurriedly handed over the deer head to Mark for safekeeping, and walked quickly to the old man. Seeing that his father actually hit a stag, Li Chenghua was too busy to slap his ass at the old man with his thumb.

A group of men skinned the stag and cut it into pieces, then washed their hands by the stream, and washed the blood from the bank under the command of old George. Everyone carried the harvest out of the forest with satisfaction.
