People living in the United States basically know that cars and money cannot be borrowed.
What’s even more impossible to borrow is the gun...
But they all went hunting together, and Canlby and Athol each lent a spear.
"Good guy, is this a Remington m700p?" Bai Xiaoou asked after getting the gun.
"Civilian shotgun." Athol smiled and said.
The 0.308-inch Winchester-Magnum rifle bullet used by Remington m700p has a larger charge and warhead weight than the 7.62x51mm and 7.62x54mm military rifle bullets. The larger charge can make
The bullets fly further, even surpassing the sniper rifles used by the military and police of many countries.
The main target of such a hunting rifle is not birds and rabbits, but specialized hunting of bears, moose, large wild boars and other animals.
Atsol helped Bai Xiaoou adjust the sight, and the group got on the pickup truck and headed to the depths of the valley.
In the valley basin, a small stream meanders. Mary is still plowing and sowing seeds in the valley. With fully mechanized planting, there is not much land left, and Mary can do it alone today.
In a newly sown field, if you look carefully you can see traces of wild boars eating seeds in the field...
Nearing the end of the valley, the group got out of the car and checked their weapons again.
Chen Mo, Zhang Kun, and Kanerby held shotguns, which were responsible for attacking close targets and defending. Bai Xiaoou and Athol held semi-automatic rifles (shotguns), among which Kanerby held a 556-caliber firearm.
, all have scopes. If the marksmanship is good enough, especially the gun held by Bai Xiaoou, it can shoot large prey hundreds of meters away...
After loading the gun, Assol looked around and made a small movement: "Go straight along the creek. There is a natural lake on the back of the hillside. You should be able to find prey around it." Assol said and pointed.
Refers to the hole dug by the wild boar in the corn field, as well as a pile of fresh excrement.
Starting towards the lake, there are dense fir forests and few thorn bushes on the mountains, making the road difficult to walk.
Hunting wild boars is not as difficult as imagined, but it is not simple either. Especially hunting in the mountains without a hound requires an experienced hunter...
Canelby walked at the back, Athol walked at the front. Chen Mo and the others walked in the middle...
"Wild boars have a violent temper. If you go into the forest alone to hunt wild boars, one shot will not kill the wild boar and may even be life-threatening, so be especially careful. Also pay attention to gun safety... Boss, your posture when holding the gun is wrong. The muzzle of the gun should not be pointed at the right angle."
Look at the sky and hold the gun with both hands..." Canlby said, correcting Chen Mo's mistake in holding the gun.
Hold the gun with both hands, and do not put your fingers on the trigger. It is best to have the muzzle of the gun facing the ground at an angle to prevent emergencies and respond as quickly as possible.
"Shh~~" Atsol led everyone up the hillside and occupied a high point.
Below is the Snow Mountain Lake belonging to the Snow Mountain Ranch, which is about 5 hectares. The lake surface is sparkling. If you stand by the water, you can see what transparency is. Lakes with high mountains and deep valleys... There is a proper name for similar lakes, 'Transparent Lake'
.Transparent lakes are very famous, and the most famous one is probably Flathead Lake. The water there is so transparent that people feel panicked and think it is an illusion...
Snow Mountain Lake is similar, but smaller in area.
Atsol took out the telescope and looked at it, then handed it to Bai Xiaoou and pointed the direction: "Seven wild boars. Two big wild boars, five small wild boars... Are you sure you can kill one of them?"
Bai Xiaoou picked up the rifle and tested the sight, then shook his head: "It's too far."
"Let's get closer and kill the two big ones first. The penetrating ability of the m700 bullet is very strong. You don't need to specifically aim at the head, just aim at the body..."
Zhang Kun didn't often play with guns, so he accompanied Jennifer, Chen Mo and Canelby on the mountain with shotguns and was responsible for defense.
The two large wild boars should weigh more than 40 kilograms, are black, have long mouths, and have tusks, and look fierce.
A 40kg wild boar may not look big, but even the smallest wild boar is a dangerous animal...
Approaching to about 100 meters, Athol and Bai Xiaoou started to draw their guns. After the two were ready, Canelby counted down 3, 2, 1...
The two gunshots went off almost at the same time.
The wild boar Athol was aiming at fell to the ground. Bai Xiaoou also hit the wild boar, and it ran for more than ten meters before it finally came to an end...
The sound of gunshots echoed in the valley, and the frightened little wild boar ran away in panic, but stopped after not running far, looking at the two large wild boars that fell to the ground from a distance...
Assol fired again, hitting a small wild boar, and then the other wild boars ran away.
Chen Mo had good eyesight and was holding a telescope. He didn't know if it was an illusion just now, but he felt that the little wild boar looked at the two big wild boars with a slightly sad look in his eyes.
Chen Mo was not a virgin bitch, but after seeing the 'emotion' shown by the little wild boar, Chen Mo felt that he would never like hunting again.
Wild boars are one of the most annoying animals to ranchers and farmers.
More than 2,000 hectares of Snow Mountain Pasture are enclosed with barbed wire fences. But now, there are too many wild boars in Snow Mountain Pasture, and the hunting of wild boars cannot stop and must continue...
Wild boars reproduce very quickly. They give birth in 4 months and have two litters a year, with a litter size of 2 to 9. If it is not controlled, the Snow Mountain Pasture will soon turn into a Snow Mountain Wild Boar Farm.
"The harvest is good. The young wild boar is delicious and is good for grilling or making pork burgers. The big wild boar...the female wild boar can be buried somewhere, but the meat quality is not good. The male wild boar can be made into smoked meat..." Asuo
As you said this, you looked at Chen Mo and asked for his advice.
Game meat in Montana is not scarce, and wild boars are not rare either. Chen Mo was curious that Athol could make smoked meat. He was an authentic white man...
"My hometown is in the countryside, and every household makes smoked meat before the Chinese New Year. Do you also make smoked meat?" Chen Mo asked a very idiotic question.
Athol shrugged: "I can do it..." It took Athol a while to realize what Chen Mo meant, and then said: "The United States is a country of mixed races. There are people from Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America.
It is a gathering of people. It is not surprising that some people in the United States can make smoked meat... There are even Americans who eat rabbit meat and snake meat... The United States has everyone, and they will retain some things from their hometown. I am a Jew
, Jewish smoked meat is also quite famous.”
Canlby took out his cigars and handed one to each of them.
It was only after Chen Mo bought the Snow Mountain Ranch that Canlby handed over cigarettes and cigars. He smiled and said, "The smoked meat made by Atsol is very good and delicious."
Chen Mo made an apologetic expression, saying that he was so strange.
The American race is a complex, hodgepodge, and it’s not surprising that each of them retains some of the characteristics of their own nation or hometown.
Today's hunting is over.
Athol went to the hillside and dug a deep pit to bury the female wild boar, and then he and Canlby briefly dealt with the male wild boar...
The little wild boar is not big, weighing more than ten kilograms. Chen Mo can lift it with one hand.
Atsol and others cleaned up the wild boars, while Chen Mo and others went to the lake.
Transparent lake in the mountains, the water is so clear that no impurities can be seen. If there is not a breeze, you may ignore the existence of the water if you don't pay enough attention...
The water is so clean, so clear and transparent that it seems unreal.
There are large rocks and rotten wood at the bottom of the water. The lake that doesn't feel very deep can actually easily submerge an adult.
"It's so dreamy, it looks like Duo Minglang Snow Mountain Lake." Jennifer said.
Domingo Snow Mountain Lake is in western Montana, only more than 300 kilometers away from them. It is a slightly famous scenic spot.
Chen Mo squatted by the river and washed his hands. The water was very cold and he slapped it on his face to refresh himself: "Old Bai, do you think there is any progress in developing the Snow Mountain Ranch into a tourist ranch?"
"Yes." Bai Xiaoou also put down his gun and came over to wash his face: "...what the hell."
"It's nothing. It's a bit remote here, and it's not on the tourist route... You can't actually make much money by putting all the effort into tourism." Bai Xiaoou said and looked at the mountains and forests: "If the ginseng in the mountains stays for another two years, China and the United States will
The trade is back to normal. You can make a fortune with these ginseng... If you want to run a tourist ranch, you shouldn’t come to Montana, you should go to places like California, New York, and Florida.”
Bai Xiaoou originally suggested that Chen Mo come to Montana to invest in ranches or farms, all because the value of land has depreciated sharply this year, and he carefully selected several ranches with great potential for appreciation.
It can be said that even if the three ranches recommended by Bai Xiaoou are not operated after they are bought, they will be able to make a fortune by selling them when the economy normalizes in a few years.
"There's really no point in starting a tourist ranch. It's so laborious and unnecessary."
Chen Mo picked up a stone and threw it into the water: "I accept your suggestion. But sometimes it's too boring in the pasture."
"That's how it is in Montana." Bai Xiaoou shrugged: "Just get used to it slowly. If you are really bored, you can go to Billings to do some small business or something..."
