Seeing such a bloody thing for the first time, Zhang Chi felt a slight discomfort, but he still endured the discomfort and looked at his calf, which was still alive and kicking yesterday.
All the internal organs in the calf's belly have been eaten, and some of the meaty parts on the thighs have also been eaten away. It can be seen that this mountain lion is quite mouthy, and it will eat the meaty places.
.
After looking at it for a few times, Zhang Chi thought about what to do with the leftovers of the calf. It was impossible for him to eat it. Besides, all the good meat was eaten by mountain lions. What would he eat? Nibble on the cow head? He didn't have that hobby.
, besides, he doesn’t know how to do it himself.
Looking up at the vulture still circling above his head, Zhang Chi decided to leave the cow carcass alone and let the vulture help him deal with the remaining parts. He first went to see which part of the fence on the mountainside was broken by the mountain lion.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chi got on the horseback of Chiyan Mountain again and urged Chiyan Mountain down to the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Zhang Chi walked along the main fence to check for damage to the fence.
It didn't take long for Zhang Chi to see a big hole in the fence. It was obvious that the mountain lion had destroyed this place, entered his pasture, and used it as his restaurant.
I took out the pliers and simply twisted it to connect the damaged iron mesh.
But Zhang Chi knew that this would definitely not work. If a mountain lion could destroy it the first time, it could destroy it the second time. And with the experience of this time, it was impossible for the mountain lion to be unable to hold back in anyway.
The reason is very simple. Cattle in the pasture are much easier to catch than food in the wild. Whether it is deer or bison in the mountains, dealing with mountain lions has not been a year or two. After surviving for tens of thousands of years, they have already had their own unique skills.
There are different ways to deal with it, and cows in the pasture and mountain lions are impossible to deal with.
I guess I can't even outrun a big hunter like a mountain lion.
Therefore, no matter what, the mountain lion that entered his pasture must die. If it did not die, Zhang Chi would have to be wary of it.
As the old saying goes, it takes a thousand days to be a thief, but a thousand days to guard against a thief!
After reinstalling the fence, Zhang Chi rode back to the RV, took off the saddle from Chiyanshan, and drove back to the city.
There are two things Zhang Chi has to do this time. The first is to buy a fence, and the second is to buy a gun. He is going to guard the mountain lion tonight and then directly overcome it.
Zhang Chi and Ben had no interest in considering what was illegal or not.
When something like this happens, any rancher knows how to make a choice. As for those who say that ranchers are good people and will not do anything illegal.
That being said... Hehe, you are so innocent.
If you think about how these cowboys in the West had the courage to confront the National Guard with guns, and were able to calmly build fortifications, you will know how tough these people are.
If any animal enters one's own pasture to eat cattle and sheep and still lives well, that animal will be laughed at by other ranchers.
Of course, if you want to prevent this trick, it is quite simple, that is, give money, such as the trick used when protecting the gray wolf in the past.
If a gray wolf enters the pasture and takes your livestock, if you leave evidence or something, even if you just take a photo, the federal and state will compensate you. This compensation is slightly higher than if you sell the livestock. This way, the rancher
I won't hunt gray wolves.
Otherwise, these guys with guns can kill the gray wolf for you again.
So Zhang Chi made up his mind to send the mountain lion back to the west tonight.
After getting into the pickup truck, Zhang Chi was ready to set off, but Chi Yanshan followed him all the way to the ranch gate. It was obvious that he didn't want Zhang Chi to leave his sight because he was frightened by the mountain lion.
He bit Zhang Chi's sleeve tightly and looked at his master with big eyes.
"Don't be afraid!"
Zhang Chi stretched out his hand and gently stroked the bridge of Chiyanshan's nose twice to comfort him: "I'm going to buy a gun. I'll understand that bastard tonight. Even if I miss him, I won't be able to come to the ranch anymore."
Zhang Chi didn't know if it could understand it, but it was just a comfort.
After comforting him for several minutes, Chi Yanshan finally let go of Zhang Chi's sleeves.
Zhang Chi left the ranch and as soon as he drove onto the road, he saw an old pickup truck approaching.
When he saw the car, Zhang Chi knew that it was his neighbor Serriol returning home.
The two cars missed each other and Serriol stopped, stretched out his head and said hello to Zhang Chi: "George".
"Hello Serriol" Zhang Chi replied politely.
Serriol said: "The cows and horses barked in your pasture for half an hour last night."
"Well, I understand. I was away from home last night and went to California. When I came back today, I found that a calf had been bitten to death by a mountain lion," Zhang Chi said.
"Can't let it live," said Serior.
Zhang Chi understood and nodded with a smile.
Serriol is not encouraging Zhang Chi to kill the mountain lion, but once this thing eats the cattle and sheep in the pasture, it will almost never hunt wild animals, so this mountain lion is now not only a member of Zhang Chi's pasture
Trouble will most likely also be trouble for his ranch in the future.
As for why Serriol didn't go to deal with the mountain lion last night, it's because the mountain lion was in Zhang Chi's pasture, and Seriol would not go in without Zhang Chi's permission.
The law stipulates that people can use guns to protect themselves when breaking into other people's places. Although in reality, you are generally not allowed to go in and people use guns to beat you, but no one would go to other people's ranches because this behavior is very special.
If it is illegal, there will be no problem at all if you call the police.
Let alone ordinary people, even the police cannot enter other people's private property at will without a search warrant from a judge.
After talking to Zhang Chi for a few words, Serriol went home.
Zhang Chi drove straight to Folsom.
When he arrived in the city, Zhang Chi found that the people selling such fenced places had already taken a rest, so Zhang Chi looked at the setting sun in the west and couldn't help but muttered: "These people are so lazy!"
It's only what time it is now, and these business guys are actually taking a rest. If you were in China and the sun had just set, you would be laughed at if you had the nerve to take a rest. But it's different here. It opens in the afternoon and closes at five o'clock in the evening.
There is nothing new about having a large number of people in the family, doing business is just like having fun.
I originally thought that the gun store or outdoor supplies store was also closed, so I went there with the intention of giving it a try, and found that such stores were open.
It can be seen that merchants selling BIUBIU are much more conscientious than ordinary merchants.
There were still a lot of people in the store at this moment. As soon as I entered the store, I saw about ten people picking up goods, and several clerks were very busy.
Here in Folsom, a few people are considered a large number of customers, and usually there are only one or two people in the store.
However, the business of the BIUBIU store is good at this time. It is thanks to a group of people. Which group? Those guys who shouted to ban BIUBIU. Every time these people hold a sign and go on the road, the BIUBIU store will have a promotion.
, so much like cooperation.
Zhang Chi has played with guns. It is said that there are very few people who make a living in the West who have not played with guns. But I used to play with guns. If you want to be accurate, it doesn't count. If you want to be accurate, you have to feed it with bullets. Other than that,
There is no other way.
Zhang Chi's small salary definitely doesn't allow for this. Nowadays, bullets are not only expensive but also not easy to buy. From a few years ago, this store had a limited supply. A person can only buy two boxes of the same caliber of bullets a month.
.
If you want to have fun, it's easy. Just buy a few more guns of different calibers. Two boxes of one type, ten boxes of five types. If you have a pistol, buy a rifle. You can always get around it anyway, if you don't mind it.
If so, you can also visit a few more stores so that you can always get the quantity you want.
Everyone has been to a supermarket, right? The BIUBIU store here is just like a supermarket. Almost all the long guns are placed on display racks. You don’t need anyone to pick them up for you. You can just pick them up and look at them yourself.
Zhang Chi came here this time to buy a long gun and use it to deal with the mountain lion. Zhang Chi was not conceited enough that his marksmanship could handle it.
Looking at the long guns, Zhang Chi felt a bit spoiled because there were too many guns. For a moment, he didn't know which one to choose. He couldn't decide on the gun. Zhang Chi wanted to take a look at the scope again. He thought it would be wrong to install this thing on the gun.
It can also increase your chances of sending that piece of shit away tonight.
Before reaching the counter where the scopes were sold, Zhang Chi glanced at the price and then obediently returned to the shelf of long guns. He had no choice but to do anything with the money in his pocket.
While Zhang Chi was watching, a clerk walked up to Zhang Chi. The clerk had noticed Zhang Chi for a while and felt that this man really wanted to buy, so he approached him.
"Sir, would you like to pick a gun?" the clerk asked with a smile.
Zhang Chi said: "I want to buy a more accurate gun. I don't play with guns much and my accuracy is not good."
"What is it used for?"
Zhang Chi thought to himself: Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course you are beating animals, you can't just beat people for nothing.
"Hunting, the price of larger prey should not be too expensive," Zhang Chi said.
When the clerk heard this, he immediately took two steps and picked up a completely black gun: "Remington 783 shotgun, extra large bolt handle, Picatinny rail, no problem in dealing with medium and large prey, the main thing is accuracy.
Well, Guan Jian, this gun is the most cost-effective among the Leightonton guns, and its current price is only six hundred dollars."
Remington Zhang Chi knows about it, and he also knows that the guns produced by this factory are quite good. The disadvantage is that the price is generally a bit high, but the price recommended by the store clerk is really good, and it is within Zhang Chi's budget.
Taking a look at the gun, Zhang Chi was struggling in his mind whether to take another look or what to do.
The clerk was a veteran. Seeing that Zhang Chi was a little hesitant, he said, "How about you go to the shooting range behind and try it. Once you try it, you will know that this gun is really good."
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Zhang Chi decided to try it first to see how the gun was.
"Well then, bring this one, and that one, I want to compare them." Zhang Chi pointed at the two spears he had just photographed.
The clerk nodded and turned around to get the key, unlocked the connection lock between the gun and the gun frame, then got a small box of bullets for Zhang Chi, and led Zhang Chi through the small door on the back side into the shooting range.
