Shi Lei has greeted that poker-faced uncle countless times, countless times, and he finally understood why that guy insisted on flying the plane last time, just take them to fly around the sky, just to prevent them from coming into contact with cowboys, or anyone else who knows about the ranch, the ranch will definitely not be sold.

You deserve this kind of disaster this old bastard, but now some of the wax ones are on your side.

"Are there any livestock or cowboys on the ranch that are hurting right now?" Shi Lei asked nervously.

"There haven't been any outbreaks of this problem yet, we haven't found any mountain lions, and the so-called Shanka Hualaijin has not found anything. And there is news of the wolves, there was an incident of wolves attacking the livestock in the pasture in another ranch dozens of kilometers away, and many sheep and poor sheepdogs were killed, and finally they were driven away by the gunfire of the cowboys.

However, for wolves, in order to chase prey, it is possible to run out for dozens of kilometers at a time, so the threat of wolves to our ranch cannot be ruled out.

Of course, for the dogs on our farm, these threats should be able to deal with. I'm a big believer in the fighting power of the dogs on the ranch, especially after the last big fight with coyotes, and their appearance is absolutely impressive.

Although the new ten Dugao dogs have not yet had the opportunity to show their own combat effectiveness, they should not be bad if they look at their shape, not to mention that they are still selected and trained by Shi Lei, and we have always believed in your ability in this regard.

With the dogs' deposits, our ranch is not a store that can be bullied casually. Although we can't take the initiative to eradicate this wolf pack that has been a disaster because we don't have a wolf hunting license, I believe that there is a survival of the dogs. It should be no problem to take them out in an encounter. Hanks said confidently.

"Oh, that's good, I also think with the dogs' fighting power. It's enough to deal with all the beasts except the bears, and at least it's okay to chase away these predators. I really can't do it, so I'll go back and run the formalities. Get the little gold and silver and their family over, with them on guard in the sky, and it becomes delusional for the wolves to easily sneak into the pasture. They can all be directly involved in killing wolves when necessary.

Also, to be on the safe side, I decided to bring in ten more large dogs, at least they would be a bit more deterrent. The bit will be a little inferior in size against the wolf. The Dogo is fine.

But this time I'm going to get some Caucasian sheepdogs, which can be used as guard dogs and help with herding. Their job is to follow you cowboys, to protect and warn, similar to the role of Dogo dogs.

Since there is such a hidden danger, you should pay attention to inform the cowboys that they must carry a firearm with them when they go out, and it must be powerful enough.

Also, like the previous stone ranch, arrange some dogs to disperse everywhere every day to serve as guards, especially on the side of the workers' house, and it is important to ensure the safety of people. Shi Lei said seriously.

"Of course. In fact, I've been doing this since I knew about it. At present, the safety of the cowboys can still be guaranteed. It's just that the size of the herd is too large, especially when it goes out to graze, which inevitably gives the wolves a lot of opportunities.

In this regard, I also need to strengthen the arrangements to keep the dogs in a more important position. "Hanks is as serious as ever, and things always look ahead.

"It's okay, just make sure that the cowboys are safe, it doesn't matter if the loss of livestock is lost, let's just take the opportunity to eliminate them." Shi Lei comforted Hanks and told him not to be too nervous.

In the chat between the two. Without feeling the distance, the two arrived at this new ranch.

After consulting Shi Lei's opinion. The original name has been changed, and a flower-carved sign in English with a wooden hollow hangs on the rugged log gate. It has a new name for the ranch, Fox River (you know) Ranch (thanks to the name provided by the book's friend "De Broglie", who is also the author of "The Last King of Technology").

Shi Lei unceremoniously lived in the main room of the ranch, and after moving down and putting away all the things he had just bought, Shi Lei took out the outfit that Hanks had already helped prepare, hung the saddle on a quart horse selected by Shi Lei, and by the way, inserted the lever-type shotgun he had just bought into the saddle bag, carried the revolver on his waist, and carried the rifle of the AK gun clan behind him, and rode on the horse with Hanks to the pasture to have a look.

The cowboys are busy tending to the free-grazing herd, and as the herd grows, the number of cowboys on the Fox River Ranch side of the Fox River Ranch also doubles, while the number of cowboys on the other side of the Stone Ranch decreases a lot.

It just so happened that the number of livestock had also decreased a lot, because all the big cattle and calves that had not yet reached the slaughter standard had already been transported to the Fox River Ranch, and there were only some breeding cattle left on the Stone Ranch for breeding offspring, as well as very small calves.

The situation is similar for the flock. In this case, the existing number of cowboys is sufficient. And the new dogs are already on the job, so it's no problem to take care of the herd.

I have to say that the cowboys are very strong, the weather here in Montana is already relatively cold, in general, the weather in Montana will be similar to the Northeast in China, and the geographical location is actually similar, but this day the cowboys are still just a pair of jeans, a plaid shirt on the upper body of the standard denim dress, and some wear more than one denim vest.

And Shi Lei noticed that most of these cowboys are white, but there are also some yellow faces, of course, not Chinese cowboys, although Montana does have some Chinese cowboys now, but Fox River Ranch is still not seen in such a remote place.

These fellow yellow cowboys are all from the local Indian cowboys, and although most of them live on government-designated reservations, some of them come out to do the cowboy work they know best.

Shi Lei has some cordial feelings about these cowboys who are often written as his compatriots in historical novels, but Shi Lei didn't stare at them all the time, maybe it would be taboo or something to do so, so after looking at the situation of these cowboys. Shi Lei and Hanks stepped forward together, and the two sides needed to get to know each other, so that the cowboys couldn't even figure out who their boss was.

Hanks solemnly introduced Shi Lei, the boss, to the stage. Shi Lei said two words simply, it is nothing more than that you do a good job. The prize money was so big that the cowboys applauded and welcomed it.

Due to the unscrupulous behavior of the poker-faced uncle before, the reputation of the Fox River Ranch has been ruined, and there is no shortage of these cowboys who have the idea that they will not get the full salary this month and immediately pick on the idea of quitting, or Garcia and these old men emphasized how rich the red envelope given by Shi Lei is, they scattered in disbelief, and how to see the salary and the legendary bonus will be known.

The cowboys went back to their work. Shi Lei rode his horse very skillfully and ran to the river, which was some distance from the grassland, where there should be many Shi Lei's targets in the woods.

An important purpose of Shi Lei's coming over this time is to hunt, even the hunting license and various signs for the prey Shi Lei have been prepared, and they have all been brought out this time, and they can be marked according to the needs at any time.

By the way, Montana, which is extremely rich in wildlife, will definitely not have the same perverted hunting rules as California, but are relatively relaxed, no matter what gun you use to beat the bird or something. As long as you don't mislabel them, it's not a big deal, and no one will tell what you've done to these birds.

And the prey that Shi Lei wants most is a big male deer with more than sixteen forks. It still looks very domineering to make decorations with its head and horns in your own house, and then you have the capital to show off to others. It's like now, although Shi Lei is already very confident in his marksmanship, but he hasn't even fought a living thing, and he will feel embarrassed when others ask.

And the woodlands with water are the ones where the deer frequent, because they always need to drink. In order to hunt, Shi Lei wore a jungle camouflage and carried all the 4 guns he bought this time with him.

When he arrived at the edge of the woods, Shi Lei casually found a branch to tie the horse, and carefully held the loaded lever shotgun in his hand and walked inside. The rifle was also carried on the back, and the pistol was placed in a position where it could be pulled out and fired at any time.

Don't forget that the Fox River Ranch has been home to two types of predators: wolves and cougars. There are also fierce beasts that are unknown, and there are black bears and grizzly bears in the pasture. None of them are easy characters to deal with, so Shi Lei must be careful to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations that may occur.

Fortunately, Shi Lei's eyesight and hearing are the top level among human beings, and he should be able to detect all kinds of threatening animals in advance, so as not to have an unexpected encounter with them, so that most of them will not have any very good memories.

Shi Lei, a guy who has never engaged in hunting activities at all, has the courage to go into the forest alone to hunt, what he can rely on is his own combat effectiveness, whether it is holding a gun or a knife or simply empty-handed, Shi Lei himself feels that he is sure to retreat under the attack of various predators.

Of course, Shi Lei is not blindly confident, he also brought two Dogo dogs that have been completely reformed as early as the stone pasture, I believe that with the help of these two professional hunting dogs, Shi Lei will not fall into danger.

After Shi Lei walked into the woods, he carefully guarded against possible threats while moving forward lightly to prevent making any noise and scaring his target away. Shi Lei's luck was good, he had just walked for a short time and saw a herd of deer drinking water by a small stream of water flowing through the woods.

Shi Lei hurriedly slowed down his pace, and was more careful not to make a sound, because these deer were drinking water, and at the same time, they had to raise their heads from time to time to take a closer look to hear if there were any predators around them, and they were very alert.

In the middle of such a large circle of deer, there are not even one-tenth of the number of male deer with antlers.

Just when Shi Lei was about to touch over to find a position with a better view and take a good look to see if there was a big male deer with more than sixteen forks, the entire deer herd was a little commotional, and they all looked in one direction vigilantly, and the two Dogo dogs brought by Shi Lei also looked at that side, and let out a low "woo" warning sound in their mouths.

Shi Lei really wanted to know what kind of beast was coming, but the most important thing at the moment was to ensure his own safety, so Shi Lei raised his muzzle while looking in the same direction, ready to kill the incoming beast at any time. (To be continued) R580
