The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 121 120. Eagles and badgers fight, Lin Feng wins

The big eagle swooped down like lightning and fixed its gaze on a white goat cub.

The movements of the white goat were much faster than those of the Tennessee sheep. The lamb seemed to sense the crisis and instantly started running wildly.

Seeing this, Wayne followed without hesitation and roared at the big eagle in mid-air.

It still acted as a deterrent to some extent, and the eagle returned to mid-air and gave up the attack.

However, Lin Feng was not at ease. He took out his pistol and shot into the sky, trying to scare off the eagle.

But that guy moves too fast, and the pistol has a limited range, so you have to be extremely lucky to hit it.

Or shoot with a rifle in the hope of hitting a stray bullet.

However, the risk of such an approach was too high, and Lin Feng did not dare to try it easily.

Soon, the eagle picked its target again, this time a Tennessee sheep.

The little guy seemed to sense the danger. It couldn't stand the stimulation and fainted to the ground in fright.

Before the dogs could run to the rescue, the lamb was snatched away by the eagle and flew south of the pasture.

The dogs went crazy all the way, but Lin Feng knew that this was in vain. He called the dogs back and spread them out in the four corners of the flock to guard the remaining sheep.

That lamb was enough for the big eagle to fill its belly, and it probably won't come back.

At least not today. It’s hard to say in the future. The big eagle that has tasted the sweetness will most likely appear again next time.

It was not idle. It flew into the air and suddenly released its paws to let the lamb fall freely, and then swooped down to catch it. After doing this twice, the lamb was probably frightened to death either because it was thrown to death or not.

It wasn't over yet. The eagle released its talons again and failed to catch the lamb. The poor little guy fell straight to the ground. This time he was dead.

The big eagle grabbed the dead lamb and flew away, probably finding a place to hide and enjoy the delicious food.

Lin Feng was helpless against this big eagle.

There have been hawks that came to the pasture to harass the sheep before, but they were all scared away by Wayne.

Today’s dog is obviously mentally strong and very smart. Not only is it not afraid of the four dogs chasing and barking below, it also plays a roundabout and outflanking tactic while walking the dog.

Lin Feng fell into deep thought when dealing with such die-hards.

Either eliminate them to avoid future troubles, or incorporate them for my use. There is no third way.

After hearing this, David shook his head and smiled bitterly. Fortunately, it was not a protected animal such as a bald eagle or a California condor.

Those are all untouchable and can only be driven away but not shot.

In the United States, not many large eagles and eagles are unprotected.

For example, the black vulture, which is considered to be non-threatening internationally, is protected in the United States. It is illegal to acquire, kill or possess a black vulture. The maximum penalty is a fine of US$15,000 and six months in prison.

The next day, the domineering eagle visited the ranch again, but this time it didn't get what it wanted.

The sheep in the pasture had been cleverly hidden, and the eagle flew into the air.

However, this did not give up its determination to find prey.

Soaring over the pasture, its sharp eyes searched everywhere, eager to find other prey targets.

Soon, a hare came into the Eagle's sight.

It swooped down like a bolt of lightning, accurately grabbed the hare, and flew high into the sky again.

But fate seemed to be playing tricks on the eagle, and the hare slipped from its claws and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the wolverine suddenly appeared and quickly took the hare away!

The big eagle was so angry that he immediately started a chase with the wolverine!

The wolverine ran away with the trophies he picked up, while the eagle was in hot pursuit.

This battle between the air and the ground is extremely thrilling. Both sides show their strengths and refuse to give in to each other.

When the wolverine fled to the cave door, it threw the dying hare into the hole.

Then he bravely turned his head and prepared to fight to the death with the swooping eagle.

Lin Feng was worried and admired for the little wolverine's courage. He watched the battle nervously, sweating for the wolverine.

The wolverine stared closely at the big eagle in the sky, its hind legs tense, ready to jump to fight at any time. Suddenly, the big eagle swooped down with its talons extended and launched a fierce attack.

But the wolverine reacted quickly, twisted around nimbly, and cleverly avoided the eagle's attack!

Then it rushed towards the big eagle with lightning speed and tried to bite its wings.

The big eagle was flying in the air at low altitude, trying its best to avoid the wolverine's fierce attack.

This battle was extremely fierce, with both sides going back and forth and refusing to give in to each other.

In the low-altitude fight, the Wolverine showed a clear advantage.

After a few rounds, the big eagle had to climb to a high altitude again and gave up the fight. The little wolverine stood at the entrance of the cave and let out a victorious howl into the air to declare its sovereignty.

Then he got into the hole and enjoyed the food.

Lin Feng witnessed this thrilling battle and marveled at the courage and wisdom of the wolverine. The wolverine is worthy of being the leader of the mustelid family, even more powerful than its close relative, the African flathead.

And the big eagle seemed to be angry because it lost to a wolverine.

In the following days, the big eagle would appear in the sky above the wolverine cave every day, circling and calling in formation, which was really awesome.

However, the wolverine doesn't seem to care about this annoying big bird. It may be enjoying its delicious pickled rabbit meat in its hole and living its own life.

Those innocent hares and prairie dogs became victims, and Lin Feng watched helplessly as several of them were killed by the eagle.

Worried that the eagle might attack the livestock, and he was unable to keep an eye on it at all times, Lin Feng came up with an idea. He placed some raw meat on the front cover of the tractor as a "tribute" to the eagle.

Every time, the big eagle flew over to enjoy the delicacy without any ceremony and ate all the meat.

In addition to enjoying Lin Feng's "tribute", the big eagle also shows off its excellent hunting skills from time to time.

Whether it is an agile hare or a wary prairie dog, once it enters its sight, it is almost impossible to escape its claws.

Uncle David was also curious about the species of this big eagle, because eagles are not common in Montana.

They usually live near high mountains, and they can only be seen occasionally in River Valley Town during the flood season.

Lin Feng carefully observed the appearance of the big eagle.

The top of the head is dark brown, the feathers gradually transition to light gold, and the tips are shining with golden luster.

This domineering appearance is awe-inspiring, and it also makes Lin Feng more interested in it.

As time went by, a tacit understanding seemed to be formed between Lin Feng and Daying.

Every few days, Lin Feng would deliver a basin of fresh raw meat on time.

The eagle also seems to know that this is its "meal time" and can't wait to fly in to enjoy it every time.

This harmonious way of getting along brings tranquility to the pasture, at least while the eagle enjoys its meal, the sheep are safe.

However, Lin Feng did not completely relax his vigilance.

He understands that if he wants to ensure the tranquility of the ranch, he cannot rely entirely on the "good mood" of the big eagle.

Therefore, every time the eagle appears, he will stand guard with a gun in hand.

As long as the eagle threatens the flock, he will immediately take action to drive it away.

Fortunately, the big eagle seemed to be very sensible and did not cause too much trouble to the ranch.

During the process of building the hot spring, the construction workers revealed an interesting news to Lin Feng: This big eagle actually has the possibility of being tamed. Once tamed, it will become a powerful assistant in driving away wolves and protecting livestock.

However, falcon training is not an easy task and requires a lot of time and effort. More importantly, if you want to start training, you must first try to capture this wild and untamed eagle.

After hearing this, Lin Feng became interested.

The raw meat he served to Daying later was secretly soaked in water from the Little World Well.

After a long time like this, the big eagle may be naturally tamed. But he didn't want to rush it, lest it lose its original wildness.

We hope to gradually build trust and understanding between each other while remaining wild.

After all, being like the Internet celebrity wolf in Hoh Xil who doesn't think about making progress all day long and only wants egg yolk pie in "Jie Dao" is not what he wants.
