Chapter 162: The Hound's Learning

"Don't even think about it, if I don't come for the summer vacation, I'll show Sam our pictures. But when you get to Beijing, I can also take you to other cities to have fun, and I will go to Europe later, your passport is no problem, my passport still needs a visa, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sign. "Hong Tao has seen through it now, this Erin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she has a bad stomach, and what she says can't be trusted.

"That's fine, but you'll have to talk to Katie and Jim yourself, I don't care." Erin didn't seem to care about going there during the summer vacation.

Closing the behind-the-scenes deal, Hong Tao rubbed his face and returned to the cabin with Erin. At this time, the fire had already risen in the fireplace of the house, and everyone was busy making breakfast, and it had been almost two hours of driving from the Big Bear Territory to this small cabin, and now it was exactly 7 o'clock, and it was time to have something to eat.

It is said to be a small wooden house, in fact, the internal space is not small, the whole house is divided into 3 rooms, a bit like the layout of the northern countryside, a door is a room, it is a living room, kitchen and dining room, there is a room on the left and right, there are several bunk beds in it, it is estimated that it is a temporary resting place for lumberjacks in the past.

Miss Liu, who gave Hong Tao a big mouth, was sitting by the fireplace at the moment, and when she saw Hong Tao coming in, her big eyes swept over like lasers, and it seemed that this matter was not over, and just slapping a mouth could not relieve the hatred in her heart.

The others didn't seem to know what happened just now, that Boss Liu was playing with a spear with the help of Austin, and Katie and the black guy Jim didn't enter the house at all, standing far away next to the car, and they didn't know what Lu Dao was talking about in the snowstorm. People in love are like supermen, not afraid of cold or heat, not afraid of hunger or thirst, not afraid of hardship and not afraid of tiredness. It's the same in the whole world.

Go and explain the misunderstanding to Miss Liu, and Erin will naturally find an opportunity to do it. Hong Tao didn't expect her to apologize to herself after knowing that she had misunderstood, and this big mouth was in vain.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt too much, but luckily she hasn't practiced martial arts or karate or anything." Hong Tao could only comfort himself with this reason, so that he could resist the urge to give her a kick in the past.

After a simple breakfast, Austin began to briefly explain the principle of using a gun when hunting to a few people who did not have a hunting license, which is nothing more than that the gun cannot be loaded when there is no prey, let alone use the gun against others, and generally use the arms or shoulder-mounted carrying spears and so on. After about half an hour, he began to conduct practical exams with Ignatius and Harrison, who have hunting teacher qualifications, and Hong Tao and other rookies.

Hong Tao was the first to complete the practical exam, because his examiner was Harrison, the old cowboy had no respect for the law, only asked Hong Tao to load the bullets of the double-barreled shotgun into it, and then demonstrated the action of carrying a gun, even if he passed the exam.

The most serious examiner is Austin, who has the most contact with tourists and foreigners due to his work. He also has the best experience of this exam, so he tries to ask students to understand his explanations and be able to master basic firearms knowledge. Fortunately, everyone here is no stranger to guns, and even Boss Liu is a veteran of playing with guns. While operating the shotgun in his hand, he also recounted his experience of shooting birds with a shotgun when he was young.

Hong Tao suddenly found that among these people, he was the least familiar with guns. Although Boss Liu and his daughter-in-law are also Chinese, their levels are really different. Shooting targets without anything is really a problem for people, and guns are a new thing in big cities. Not to mention guns in other people's mines, it's not difficult to get you a few hundred pounds of explosives.

As for the Erin sisters and Jim, Americans' enthusiasm for guns is only higher than that of Canadians, although they don't have their own guns, but as long as they want to, they can 100% have access to all kinds of long guns and short guns, this advantage is not only incomparable to Hong Tao, even Boss Liu does not dare to compare, this is really no way.

The hunting license of Hong Tao and the others has actually been made and placed in the Big Bear Hotel, but there is still one procedure left, that is, online registration. Without this formality, the document would have been a piece of waste paper, but when everyone had passed the practical exam, Austin radioed his wife and registered the documents online, so that they could participate in hunting activities and legally hunt their prey according to Ontario regulations.

From 7 o'clock in the morning to this lumber yard hut, cooking, eating, plus explanations and operational exams, almost delayed for more than 1 hour, when everyone put out the fire in the fireplace, packed up the house, closed the door and prepared to go, the time was almost 9 o'clock in the morning.

From here in the lumberyard, there is no road of any kind, and since the snow has not stopped, most of the prey has been hiding in the woods, so it is not possible to use snowmobiles to drive prey in the open area at the edge of the woods, so except for one that can be used to pull some heavier equipment, the other 2 motorcycles are considered white belt.

The best helper to go into the woods to hunt is not snowmobiles, but hunting dogs. During this season, the animals are affected by heavy snow and have neither sight nor speed, so they will find a place they think is safe to hide, wait for the snow to stop and the sky clear, and then come out to look for food.

Animals living in the wild generally have their unique hidden skills, and it is difficult to find them with the human eye alone, so Harrison's four hunting dogs have become an important weapon for this hunt.

If it weren't for Harrison bringing up the matter of dogs, Hong Tao would have forgotten about them, when he was loading the car at Pavi's house, Hong Tao saw a large iron cage on Harrison's car, covered with a thick tarpaulin, but he didn't see what was inside at the time, only heard that it was a hunting dog.

Now he can finally see these legendary human friends, but as soon as they appear, Hong Tao almost didn't laugh out loud. Originally, he thought that the hounds should be the kind of big guys with fierce faces and big horses, but when Harrison lifted the tarpaulin and opened the iron cage, what jumped out of it were 4 medium-sized dogs that were gray and half a meter high, and it seemed that they could weigh 50 pounds.

"Do you know this dog?" Hong Tao didn't dare to rashly express his opinion, because he had never had a dog in his past life and this life, and he didn't know much about dogs, although these 4 dogs didn't look inconspicuous, but if there was any NB blood, then he wouldn't be timid again, so it would be better to ask Sister Erin first, at least when someone would laugh at him, he would be able to pull a cushion.

"I don't know ......," Erin shook her head with Katie.

"This is a Prott Bear Retriever, the breed is very pure, it is a good dog, I didn't expect to see it here." Jim, a black guy, suddenly spoke, it seems that he is very good at dogs, and he called out the dog's name at once, and he could tell if it was purebred.

"Are you sure? Do you have a dog? Hong Tao didn't believe him.

"My grandfather loved dogs, you don't know the way, this kind of dog is an American dog, and it is only bred in the mountains of North Carolina, where my grandfather lives. In my grandfather's house, wild boars were hunted with these dogs, and they were very good hunters. Again, Jim replied with certainty.

Yes, if you don't believe it, you have to believe it, and it just happened to run into someone's vein, and even the origin and use were clearly explained, and it was estimated that it would not be wrong. However, how does Hong Tao think of these dogs, how awkward, they are really not beautiful, and they can't rely on the brave side, according to Hong Tao's understanding, they are not without advantages, and there should be 2.

The first advantage is quiet, they can stay in an iron cage for a day and a night, and they can not make a sound, which is rare; The second is that the camouflage color is better, you see their messy short hair, earthy gray color, and there are stripes of expression in the middle, if you lie down in the pile of rocks, you can't find them if you don't step on them.

"Don't be afraid, you have to familiarize them with your taste first, so there will be no misunderstanding in the woods, come, reach out and let them lick it......" Harrison led the four earth dogs (this is the name given by Hong Tao, mainly grasping the key point of their color), and made contact with everyone. (To be continued......)
