The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 47 47. Hunting

When we returned to Lakeside Ranch, the first thing we did was to gather two old guys to go hunting.

Lin Feng couldn't wait to do something exciting to calm down his inner excitement.

It's a good time to hold a celebration party with the prey, if it can be eaten.

Regarding the business with the Indian chief, there was a message over there that they would call Charlie after arranging a time. It should be in the past few days.

The state government has relaxed the trade system of reservations, allowing them to buy and sell livestock to pastoral areas to a certain extent.

Charlie is a cautious man. He wants to stay in the pasture to look after the cattle and sheep and check their health.

Some livestock are relatively repellent to unfamiliar environments, especially Simmental cows, which, as Cassidy said before, are a bit neurotic.

Charlie was tracking one such cow recently. It had been listless since moving to the lakeside pasture, and it would easily get sick if it continued like this.

Lin Feng checked its condition and found that the cow was in good health. It probably had a mental problem and needed guidance from a psychological counselor in the cattle industry. Unfortunately, no cow with such a talent has been found yet.

Charlie promised he would figure it out, which was why his salary was so much higher than David's.

Old David smiled evilly and said: "Charlie's shooting skills are too bad, so he doesn't want to reveal his secrets in front of me, a sharpshooter."

Charlie smiled and spread his hands, "Whatever you think, one day it will surprise you."

Lin Feng went to drive, and David got the equipment.

He has an ancestral Winchester M70 rifle, which he has fought with for many years and has made outstanding achievements in hunting.

There are also Wayne and the German Shepherd brothers, taking them out to expand their knowledge.

The group headed towards the mountain jungle two kilometers behind the ranch, which was an ideal hunting spot.

The Silverado pickup truck can travel unimpeded in this area. Unless it enters the deep mountains and old forests, it will basically encounter no obstacles.

Charlie wished them a safe journey and hoped to come back loaded with loot.

"I want to buy a car, that kind of off-road vehicle that looks very majestic. What do you think?"

Lin Feng said while chatting.

David smoked a cigarette, "I understand your mentality, Boss. Now you have more money, but you have to save some money and don't go bankrupt soon like those black stars. Of course, I have no right to interfere with your own money, but Make some suggestions.”

"I just want to buy a nicer car to drive around, and this pickup truck will be used as a tool truck on the ranch."

David smiled and said, "Let me guess, Jasmine thinks this Silverado is too shabby?"

Lin Feng shook his head, "No, she didn't say anything."

After much thought, I decided to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a mobility scooter, a luxury version of the mobility scooter.

BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, or similar large cars.

Anyway, it's that type.

As we were about to enter the jungle, we passed an open area.

David suddenly shouted excitedly, "BOSS, look at that grass!"

Lin Feng looked in the direction of David's finger and saw a large area of ​​green grass. According to the map, it was a public area.

It is rare to find wild grassland that grows in such good condition, making it an excellent choice for bringing cattle and sheep to farm.

When the grass needs time to grow and there is not enough dry grass in the pasture, you can bring them here to eat for a few days.

Nomads have to move their livestock according to the climate. Large ranches like the Otto family can completely migrate on their own land.

As Lin Feng was talking, the car suddenly shook violently, and the left front wheel fell into a big hole!

No matter how he tried to orient himself, he couldn't get out. David got out of the car to check, and after a while he told him that it was a hole dug by a wild boar.

Wild boars can also dig holes, which is new to Lin Feng.

Judging from David's slightly nervous look, he knew he should be vigilant.

I only know that wild boars are extremely powerful in combat and very smart, but I have never seen one outdoors. Wayne and the German Shepherd brothers jumped out of the car and sniffed around.

David looked carefully at the pothole.

Pointing to the layer of stuff still left on it, he said: "They use their long tusks to chop down cattails and spread them in the holes to keep warm. It is a good thermal layer and can withstand temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius."

Lin Feng found a wooden stick to pry open the "bunker" above, and steam came out of the hole below.

David talked about how he used to work with wild boars when he was a livestock policeman. Most of their work was to guard against cattle thieves, but sometimes they also helped ranchers solve problems of wild animals, such as wild boars.

"The Montana Department of Agriculture has a dedicated "Wild Boar Hazard Management Team." A group of big men's daily job is to sit in the office and think about how to keep wild boars away from human settlements and control the population within a range that government officials like. Inside."

Lin Feng shook his head, "This is impossible."

"Indeed, they are wild animals after all and will not take the initiative to reproduce according to human wishes, so some tough measures are needed, such as genocide."

"Why does it sound familiar to me?"

David laughed, "Yes, that's how we treated the Indians back then. We drove them into reservations with barren land, used casinos to kill the fighting spirit of the younger Indian generation, and finally entered the corners of civilization and were slowly forgotten."

This is a heavy topic, but people always have to look forward.

"Why don't Americans eat wild boar?" Lin Feng asked in a low voice.

"Maybe it's because there are too many germs or it doesn't suit the taste."

It's lucky that no wild boar rushed out nearby, otherwise that thing would have come over and fought hard with the Silverado, leaving several big holes in the body even if it couldn't be damaged.

However, he still had to be cautious. Lin Feng asked the dogs to stand in a triangular position, each staring in one direction.

He and David tried to get the car out.

There are tools in the back box, so it shouldn't be a big problem, it just takes some time.

Not long after it started, there was a commotion in the bushes behind.

Wayne, who was closest, growled at the area and assumed an attack stance.

The two of them put down their work and set up their guns, waiting for the thing to appear. David squatted down and stared at the scope intently, and at the same time motioned to Lin Feng to slowly return to the car.

"This is a big guy," David whispered.

The noise in the bushes became louder and louder, and soon a black ball of flesh squeezed out from inside!

Very fat and downy all over.

In Lin Feng's opinion, wild boars and domestic pigs are completely different animals. One is naive and the other is grinning.

Someone is demolishing its home, and the wild boar is ready to fight!

"BOSS, you get in the car first and leave this to me." David pulled the gun bolt and prepared to shoot.

Lin Feng was also prepared while holding Mossberg. He shouted loudly for David not to shoot and to deal with this big guy himself!

Wild boars have almost no natural enemies in North America, and the big ones walk sideways, so they barely dodge and charge straight towards them.

Lin Feng took a step forward, stood still, and calmly pulled the trigger!

The shot scratched the wild boar's fur, causing it to change its running angle.

Lin Feng pulled the butt of the gun again, and the crisp sound of bullets entering the chamber stimulated his brain.

Three consecutive shots were fired and one shot seemed to hit the vital point. The wild boar died!

Dark red blood flowed all over the floor.

It was still moving. Lin Feng ran over, took out his Colt revolver, and shot the wild boar in the head again.

David was dumbfounded watching the whole process.
