Chapter 209: The wolves appear

Shi Lei's other important goal, to hunt a buck with more than 16 forks, has not been achieved so far, because Shi Lei has been busy training new dogs recently, and he has to teach gold nuggets to learn to be civilized and polite, which really wastes a lot of Shi Lei's effort.

At the same time, the body of the gold nugget is getting stronger and stronger, and this lively and active character is becoming more and more obvious, mainly because at this time its curiosity is also the strongest, always like such a big child, like to pick up everything that has never been seen and play, and then try the taste with his mouth.

For this Shi Lei criticized the gold nugget a lot, but it is so natural that it will definitely not be able to put an end to it for a while, Shi Lei has to stay away from the gold nugget for a moment, and always mention his life.

Despite this, all the small objects in the main room have basically been stuffed into the mouth, and the large objects have left some of its claw marks or tooth marks, fortunately, Shi Lei's requirements for the living environment are not very high, otherwise there is no room in the main house that can be lived, and all the decorations should almost be changed.

After spending so much time training them, the changes of the dogs make Shi Lei very proud, and the growth of gold nuggets also makes Shi Lei very pleased, at least it will not grab something and stuff it into its mouth now, but first grab it to see what Shi Lei means before stuffing it in his mouth, if Shi Lei objects, it will spit out immediately.

It's still speechless, but it's kind of progress, isn't it......

In order not to let himself be by the gold nuggets, Shi Lei temporarily threw the gold nuggets to Hanks, and asked him to take the gold nuggets and many dogs to go to other places in the ranch to familiarize themselves with the environment, Shi Lei took all the 4 guns by himself, and ran to the big buck again, this time the helper Shi Lei changed and found two new Caucasian dogs.

All the dogs have made Shi Lei's sense of smell not weaker than that of Asian jackals. More sensitive than all dogs and even wolves, it will definitely work very well as a sniffer, and the warning and tracking effects are not bad. Critical moments can also help in battle.

With two dogs, Shi Lei once again went into the woods, with their help. Shi Lei soon saw the figure of the deer, and after touching the two dogs approvingly to show praise, Shi Lei motioned to the two dogs to keep quiet, and Shi Lei moved carefully again, looking for a better angle to find the big male deer with more than 16 forks in the target.

Of course, this is an unavoidable thing, after Shi Lei has tried his best to observe the entire deer herd, just find the strongest male deer to kill it, and after the addiction of hunting, it will be considered to have completed the goal. I've been playing with guns for so long, and I haven't even seen a single blood, so I'm always worried.

Shi Lei's plan was ruthlessly destroyed again, when Shi Lei moved carefully, a few vigilant doe raised their heads and slapped their ears twice, screamed and began to run wildly, and the other deer also began to run frantically after hearing the movement, Shi Lei secretly scolded a national scolding, and planned to simply chase it out, find a majestic stag and shoot it down.

However, a few gray figures that emerged from behind the deer herd made Shi Lei's footsteps stop again, it turned out that he didn't accidentally let the deer group find out. Instead, the wolves launched an attack on the deer, and the wolves' speed was not superior to the deer, so they were very clever and ambushed in the woods. Wolves who are not known for their explosive power can't leave the deer pack behind when they are just starting, and the wolves must have a back-up move.

Shi Lei hurriedly held down the restless two Caucasian dogs, and waited carefully behind the tree, at this time he still had to make sure that he was not the target of the wolf hunt, judging from the appearance of the two dogs, there should be no ambush of his wolf lurking nearby, Shi Lei was relieved.

Wait until all the wolves have run out of the woods, driving the deer all the way towards the meadow. Shi Lei ran out of the woods with two dogs and stepped on the somewhat restless Quarter horse. Shi Lei picked up the rifle in his hand and asked the two dogs to follow. He also rode his horse and chased after the dog.

The wolves did what they did best, and the wolves in the woods did not succeed, so they drove the deer towards their own pocket formations, and the other wolves came out of the pasture to continue the ambush.

The second wave of ambushed wolves did not succeed in knocking down the prey, but a doe that was left behind was bitten on the hind leg and almost dragged it down, and after several struggles, the injured doe finally escaped from the wolf's mouth, but the excessive blood loss and the injury to its hind legs still made it run slower and slower.

When the third wave of wolves rushed out, they finally succeeded in dragging the injured doe down, and a strong male wolf that was close to pure black jumped forward and bit the doe on the throat, and the other wolves also rushed to help hold the doe down.

Needless to say, it was a bloody feast for the wolves, and all the wolves, depending on their status, began to devour the carcass of the doe, or not the corpse, because the doe was clearly not dead yet, and occasionally struggled a little.

After seeing the hunting scene of the wolves, Shi Lei finally had an intuitive understanding of the cruelty and intelligence of the wolves, and the collective wisdom reflected in their hunting cannot be ignored, which is impressive.

Taking advantage of the wolves enjoying a feast collectively, Shi Lei quickly calmed down the two Caucasian dogs who were eager to try and rushed back to the main house together, and had to discuss with Hanks how to deal with the possible attack of the wolves. This wolf pack should be the same wolf pack that caused the ranch disaster before, and the same range should always be the territory of the same wolf pack.

Similar to the situation of the Stone Ranch, the Fox River Ranch also has some simple fences to mark the approximate scope of the ranch, because the scope of the ranch is too large, and building a circle of strong enough wooden fences is definitely a thankless project, so all kinds of wild animals can be said to be free to enter and exit within the scope of the Fox River Ranch, and basically will not be subject to any restrictions.

In such a situation, it is unrealistic to be wary of the wolves' movements, or to prevent them from entering the range of the Fox River. Shi Lei was able to bump into the wolves hunting this time, although he once again lost the opportunity to get the prey he wanted, but he was also reminded by mistake.

With this encounter, the two Caucasian dogs who met the wolves together just now can completely complete the tracking of the wolves, and how to deal with the wolves themselves have a place to start, without worrying that the wolves will run away.

After hearing what Shi Lei said. Hanks nervously gathered all the cowboys together and announced the arrival of the wolves. The cowboys were a little excited, and some said that they should go straight to kill all the wolves. Some expressed concern about the future of their livestock.

Hanks had to come forward to appease everyone, and Hanks gained the respect of all the cowboys within a short time of coming to Fox River Ranch. So his words still carry a lot of weight.

Regarding the method of directly taking the initiative to hunt all the wolves, Shi Lei and Hanks have not thought that Montana has opened a quota of 15 percent this year, and about 100 wolves can be legally hunted, but Fox River has not obtained a legal wolf hunting license, and it is forbidden to take the initiative to attack when the wolves do not threaten the safety of the livestock.

At that time, the gray wolves were on the verge of extinction, because their bad reputation made them the target of crazy hunting, so now the hunting of gray wolves is very strict.

So. Shi Lei, the safest way they can take is to let the dogs directly bite the incoming wolves to death on the spot, and if they don't catch the wolves, everyone can only stay on guard. And this time the cowboys were called in order to inform the location of the wolves, so that everyone could take precautions.

In addition, Shi Lei, as a witness to the wolf attack, became a spy of the ranch together with the two Caucasian dogs who were also present at the time, responsible for reporting the location of the wolves every day. In addition to bringing the two Caucasian dogs, Shi Lei will change two dogs to go with him every day, just so that the dogs in the ranch have the opportunity to come into contact with the smell of wolves. If all dogs are familiar with the scent of wolves, the effect of the warning is much better.

Using this time, Shi Lei finally got his wish and hunted his favorite target. It was a very strong male deer, no more than no less than a beautiful horn with sixteen forks, which Shi Lei had seen in a somewhat remote pasture when he was tracking the wolves.

After seeing this perfect prey, Shi Lei didn't say a word, picked up the rifle in his hand that had been cooked, and shot at the big buck. This gun is worthy of being the most expensive rifle in the gun shop in the town, and the accuracy is still very reassuring, and the bullet successfully drilled into the heart of the stag according to Shi Lei's idea, and the stag turned into a huge corpse without much struggle.

Shi Lei used the busse straight knife he carried with him to chop down some branches. The lasso hung from the saddle was simply tied to the shape of a climbing plow, and the carcass of the great male deer was dragged to the climbing plow. He tied the plough to the back of the horse and dragged it all the way back to the main house. In order to prevent this rudimentary climbing plough from falling apart. Shi Lei didn't dare to let the speed go too fast, and he had to look back at the situation from time to time.

Finally dragged to the front of the main house, Shi Lei called Garcia, a master of handling animals, and asked him to help divide the big male deer, leaving the complete deer head part, as his most important trophy to make a taxidermy and hang it.

The rest of the parts, the leather can be kept as intact as possible, and it is a good choice to turn back and make a deerskin boots or something, as for the venison, Shi Lei generously distributed it to the cowboys on the ranch to eat, don't waste it.

Speaking of which, in Montana, there is no venison to eat, there are too many kinds of deer here, red deer, Midi red deer and what Montana deer and so on.

The one that Shi Lei shot should be a relatively rare Montana deer, because its horns are round, not the usual flat shape. I have to say that Shi Lei's luck is very good, this deer head can be taken out even among the ranchers.

In fact, even if you don't hunt here, you have a great chance of eating venison, because there are a lot of deer, so from time to time there are deer who will have traffic accidents and be hit by speeding cars, the big male deer is better, it is stronger and not easy to die, and the doe will become a corpse if she is unlucky.

And there is a law in Montana that the wild animals that are killed by the car can be disposed of casually, including bringing them to the table, so no matter what wild animals are knocked down, the people here in Montana will directly get out of the car and carry the animals to the car, pull them home and send them to the table, which is economical and environmentally friendly, which is also very good.
