The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 77 77. Coyote Invasion

It was Charlie's map, and Lin Feng would take it out and look at it from time to time.

If Tranquility Meadows could be taken, there would be a vast expanse to the south of Lakeside Ranch, with hundreds of acres in front and behind being unclaimed land.

Of course, don't worry about getting fat in one bite. Although land is cheap, you have to pay various taxes and fees every year, and people from the Ministry of Agriculture will inspect the land use.

If you buy land and leave it vacant, you will be fined. It will undoubtedly be risky to continue to expand the stocking population.

If this batch of cattle does not meet expectations next spring, it will be a big blow to Lin Feng's wallet.

Currently, the largest single-acreage ranch in the United States has 52 acres of land, 1 cattle, approximately 4 horses, and more than 500 oil wells.

Of course this is not the largest in the world, the world's largest is located in Australia.

Anna Creek Ranch has 2.3 square kilometers of land, which is 568 million acres when converted into acres. The area exceeds the combined area of ​​BJ and Shanghai, and is larger than the territory of 49 countries in the world.

The owner rides a horse around the ranch, which can take months if he's careful enough.

However, in view of Australia's natural conditions, the quality of the land there is not very good. When the climate is at its best, there are only 1 cattle raised and only 7 people manage it.

This kind of thing can only happen in Australia, which is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is cheap enough.

Paul Schneider called and said that the visa application for Lin Feng's parents was almost done and they were just waiting for the final approval.

It will probably be after Karen's bull riding competition at the earliest. Lin Feng will have time to prepare in advance and pack up a bedroom for the old couple.

I guess they don't like climbing stairs, so let them live on the first floor. The bedroom on the south side is large and has sunlight all day long. It would be nice to put a small table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to drink tea and soak up the sun.

In addition, the Chinese cabbage grown before is growing very well. Under normal conditions, it takes ninety days from planting to harvesting. In the small world, it only takes about twenty days.

Dragon fruit is much slower. After planting it, I found out that it only blooms in a year and takes two to three years to bear fruit. Even in a small world, it takes more than half a year.

The flower bone on the golden apple tree has grown larger again. It feels hard and seems to be a solid thing. The outline can't be seen yet.

Dad likes to eat chicken, so Lin Feng plans to go to the town to buy some chickens and raise them in the small world as "special chickens" for his father to recuperate.

When the time comes, just find a place to stew in an iron pot. There is no shortage of firewood in the pasture, and there is inexhaustible supply in the grove next to Jingjing Lake.

Just when Lin Feng was planning an overseas trip for his parents, Charlie's voice came from the intercom.

"BOSS, several living creatures were found moving in the direction of Jingjing Lake. They don't look like cattle in size and are very fast.

Wolf?

Lin Feng's first reaction.

"Charlie, come and protect the cattle and sheep. I'll go over and take a look right away. Uncle, how is the situation there? Did you find the fence that was broken by the big guy?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon. I've already turned half a circle." David said in a hoarse voice, "BOSS, I'll go to Tranquility Lake and kill those wolves."

"No, you continue to repair the fence. If you can't even solve this problem, how can I be the boss of you two? No one can run wild on my territory."

"Haha, good luck to you, BOSS."

After returning from Serenity Meadows, David drove with tools to look for gaps in the fence.

Viewed from the air, the ranch is a square area with a side length of two kilometers. It takes eight kilometers to circle around the perimeter. You have to look for damaged fences while driving. If you are unlucky, you won't find them until the end.

Lin Feng called Joey and took a Mossberg 500, a Colt revolver and a lawnmower. This thing had shocked the Ron brothers before, and Lin Feng had been hanging it on the back of the wooden house door as a backup.

And Wayne, his most trusted bodyguard.

Horses can run much faster than coyotes, so you don't have to worry about being attacked by them.

When he was approaching Tranquility Lake, he saw the true identity of the intruders. Sure enough, they were a few coyotes. There were three that could be seen. It was estimated that there were still some in the woods, maybe they were a family. They are difficult to shake down adult cattle, but are a big threat to calves and sheep. Especially for the Tennessee sheep, if they fainted immediately after being confronted, it would be in vain.

There are a few bold calves wandering around the lake, and the coyotes are eager to try.

Wayne started roaring from far away. The little guy was very fearless. I had never seen him afraid before.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng immediately rode over and fired a few shots from a long distance, about three hundred meters away. It was not within the range of the revolver, but it had a deterrent effect.

Seeing this, the wolves began to walk into the forest. Once they spread out, it would be very difficult.

I heard David say before that after a wolf determines its target, it can lie in ambush in the grass for two days and two nights until the hunting opportunity arises.

Lin Feng first drove away the calves, and then continued to attack the wolves.

In fact, coyotes are not large, more like wild dogs. They are not comparable to their relatives, the North American gray wolf. The largest one weighs only about 20 kilograms, and an adult Caucasian dog can weigh around kilograms.

Lin Feng planned to overwhelm the wolves directly. He grabbed the reins in one hand and the revolver in the other, and rushed forward without pausing with Wayne!

Bang bang bang!

The horse fired three shots and missed, but the one in the front was obviously frightened and rolled and crawled into the woods.

Wayne didn't give it a chance and went up to bite it!

Soon there was no movement.

The remaining two started to run away. This thing wouldn't know how to escape without suffering some losses.

Lin Feng didn't give them a chance. He took the Mossberg from behind and started firing at close range without aiming!

A No. 12 Magnum shot contains 70 micro shotshells, and almost no living thing can withstand its close-range arc spread.

After the two unlucky guys ate a bunch of food, they were already out of breath before Wayne could bite them.

In less than ten seconds, he successfully killed three coyotes by the lake.

A flock of birds stirred up in the forest, the bushes surged, and it looked like there were still some people left.

David arrived just in time, and he brought William and Harry with him. Before the pickup truck could stop, the two brothers jumped out and bit into the coyote carcass on the ground.

Lin Feng couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it. He didn't know whether to praise them for being brave or to be wise after the fact.

After getting out of the car, David crossed his arms and looked at the two wolves that were hit by shotguns, and then gave a thumbs up.

"BOSS, I knew they wouldn't cause you any trouble, you should participate in the shooting competition!"

"These five scumbags are a waste of my time." Lin Feng said proudly.

David stared into the distance, then quickly raised his rifle and aimed it at the woods, and then there was a gunshot!

Something alive fell to the ground at the edge of the forest. When I walked over, I found it was a coyote.

The old man wiped the barrel of the gun proudly, and Lin Feng complimented him a few words, and the two began another round of business exchanges.

Wayne was not idle either. Lin Feng asked him to take the German shepherd brothers into the woods to clean up the remaining coyotes and practice their courage at the same time.

"Have one?"

David lit a cigarette and handed one to Lin Feng.

This time he didn't refuse. Although the cigarettes the old man smoked were very choking, taking a few puffs at this time seemed to be very satisfying.

A cigarette afterwards can also refer to this time.
