The children in the back dispersed, and Hong Tao went to tease the three children on the sofa opposite. The result was the same. These three Indian children were closer to Hong Tao and were willing to contact Hong Tao. In fact, this is not surprising, although in the eyes of adults, Indians
The difference from Asians is obvious, but in the eyes of children, they may only remember black hair, dark eyes and a less angular face.
Since we arrived at Big Bear Ranch in the afternoon, there was no hunting scheduled that day. We first rearranged the equipment in the car and tied it securely, and then sat in front of the fireplace to drink and chat, or stroll around the ranch. However,
The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, everywhere is white, and there is nothing to go shopping.
In an afternoon of chatting, Hong Tao finally figured out the ins and outs of this family. After a long dispute, Mr. Braham Ignatius was an out-and-out son-in-law. He was of Irish ancestry.
He met his current wife when he was a soldier, and this
The pasture belongs to the old Indian, who is the father of the little flower cow and the father-in-law of Ignatius. It is said that he was once a branch of an ancient Indian tribe, but now he is the only family left.
And he has no son yet, only one daughter.
The private hunting ground Harrison was talking about was a large forest around the ranch. Harrison couldn't tell how big it was exactly. It was not private at all, but belonged to the Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario.
, but in 1992, in order to protect the Indians living in the country, the Canadian government designated this area as an Indian reservation and handed it over to the management of Xiaohua Niu’s father’s family. It is basically equivalent to our domestic contracting nature.
But basically you don’t have to pay the contracting fee.
Because it is an Indian reservation, local Canadians cannot enter here for logging, fishing and hunting activities without the consent of the local manager. In addition, it is originally part of a provincial park, so even though it is not too far from Toronto, it is
The wild animals here are simply incomparable to other hunting grounds. It’s not that they are incomparable, but there are too many.
In recent years, Xiaohua Niu's father has grown old, so he has handed over the management of the pasture and reservation area to his son-in-law. A son-in-law is only half a son, not to mention that this son-in-law is also very capable. Not only does he keep the pasture in order, he also
The family was blessed with 2 sons, 2 daughters and 11 grandchildren. It was considered a flourishing process and the family, which was on the verge of extinction, was revived.
Mr. Ignatius and Harrison served in the Army Air Corps. It is said that the two were in the same crew and had a very close relationship. After he retired, he did not become a civil aviation pilot like Harrison, but ran back to his husband.
He devoted himself to taking care of this ranch and even opened a hotel called Big Bear Territory. Big Bear was his father-in-law’s nickname. In the Indian tribe, only people with status or fighting heroes could receive this title.
Although the Big Bear Territory is called a hotel, its main business is not to provide accommodation, but to provide hunting services. Ignatius came up with this himself, and he did it very well. Not only is he famous in the hunting circles in Canada,
And its reputation spreads far and wide to the United States and Europe. When the hunting season comes every year, it is hard to find a room here. Moreover, they only accept relatively high-end customers. The price is generally about 8,000-20,000 Canadian dollars. This room only includes 2 people.
of all hunting expenses.
But Hong Tao and the others don’t have to worry. The best season for hunting every year is early summer, that is, April and May, and also autumn. Most people will not play such extreme sports in the snow and wind in winter. Moreover, the cost will not be as per
When receiving customers, they charge no additional service fees, guide fees, killing fees, etc., except for necessary accommodation, ammunition, and game tag fees.
You must know that here in Canada, the most expensive thing is not food and drink, nor ammunition, nor animals, but people. Here is a high salary and high welfare system. Staff wages are very high. Hire a standard hunting guide plus someone with hunting teacher qualifications.
Basically it accounts for less than half of the total cost.
Most people don't know how to play, but people in the second class can play. I heard Mr. Ignatius's eldest son Austin said that there is another hunting client coming today. Like Hong Tao, they are also from mainland China. If you transfer from Vancouver
If they don't delay, they are expected to arrive at Huntsville Airport around 4 p.m. By then, Austin will need to drive to pick them up from the ranch, which will probably be just in time for dinner.
Hong Tao can’t say he’s not curious about people from China who come to Canada specifically to hunt, but he’s not that curious. As China’s economy takes off, more and more Chinese people are beginning to go abroad to get in touch with new gadgets from all over the world. This phenomenon will become more and more popular.
It is becoming more and more common, and there is really nothing surprising about it. However, at this time in 2003, there were not many people who could go abroad to hunt specifically. Hong Tao was also a little curious, what were these people like, nouveau riche? Rich? Or corrupt officials?
Throughout the afternoon, Hong Tao suddenly became the king of children in the Big Bear territory. In fact, Hong Tao doesn't like children very much, but he doesn't hate them either. Facing these 6 children of different ages and looks, Hong Tao has no talent.
He showed off his skills, so he repeated his old tricks and continued to build a snowman!
It can be said that Europeans and Americans are very lax when it comes to educating their children, and sometimes it can even be said to be careless. In this cold winter wilderness with heavy snow, two mothers of six children did not have the slightest sense to take care of their children, and just let their children go.
Follow these two kids, Hong Tao and Irene, to play wildly in the snow, from building snowmen to having snowball fights. Whether you like the cold or the cold, you deserve it!
Austin's white wife even grabbed a snowball from the kitchen window sill and sneaked up on the child closest to her. When she saw the snowball accurately blooming on the child's head, as the child's mother, she actually laughed.
Leaning forward and closing back, it really didn't slip away.
The scale of this snowman is far greater than the snowman in the yard of Zhou Xiaoli's house and old Gale's house. This is a pasture, with all kinds of ladder tools. When moving the ladder out of the barn, Hong Tao also saw a forklift. It just so happened that the snowman's
The big head was worrying about how to fit it on the body that was more than 2 meters high. Now it was no problem. Several children ran into the house together, dragged Ignatius out, and forced the old man to drive the forklift and pull the Ignatius out.
The big snowball is installed.
At less than 6 o'clock in the evening, Austin picked up customers from the airport bar who were hunting. At this time, Hong Tao and his children were putting makeup on the snowman. There was no ink here, and the classic shape of the giant panda could not be achieved, so they had to hang it with lanterns.
Full snowman head and body, ready to light up at night, in Austin
When the car drove in front of the house, Hong Tao stopped what he was doing, stood on the ladder and looked out the car window a few meters away. He was still curious, who else would be here besides a lazy person like himself?
How addictive it must be to fly half way around the world in this kind of weather and go all the way to hunt!
Of course, Austin was the first to open the door and get out. He opened the trunk, took out a large suitcase from inside, and walked into the house with a grin on his face. Then the car door near Hong Tao opened, and a ball of plush stuffed animals appeared.
Something came out of it, and Hong Tao finally saw clearly through the snowflakes. It was a woman, wearing a fur coat, wrapped tightly from head to toe. From Hong Tao's angle, he couldn't see her face clearly, but he could
You can see clearly that she is wearing a skirt and high heels.
"It's really anti-freeze!" Due to the wind and snow, the visibility was relatively low. Hong Tao couldn't see the thickness of the stockings, but no matter how thick the stockings were, they were still stockings. It was almost minus 20 degrees outside now, so he wore cashmere to keep warm.
Underwear and double layers of cold-weather clothing are not very warm.
At the same time as the woman in stockings came out, the door on the other side of the car also opened. This time, a fluffy black figure came out, wearing a fur hat like a mountain sculpture on its head. Don't ask, this is
The man is dressed in black fur. He seems to have a well-kept figure. At least he doesn’t have a big belly. From a distance, he looks about 50 years old.
The person who finally got out of the car was quite normal, a pair of hiking boots, a pair of jeans, an orange winter suit, and a woolen ski hat. She was a girl, or a young woman, not old anyway, in her 20s, melon seeds
She has a beautiful face, long hair, big eyes, and a high nose.
