Rural life in America

Chapter 111 Killing the Puma

Zhang Hao hid patiently in the tree, but he also has friends to play some games with.

Luo Bo might be a little afraid of heights, so he put his two little paws on Zhang Hao's shoulders honestly, and this little guy also sticks out his tongue affectionately, trying to lick Zhang Hao's face.

Although he is often rejected, Luobo never tires of this game; moreover, Luobo can only play this small game now, because there can't be too many movements at all, and he is currently in ambush. If there is a big movement, it is very likely Will make the cougar aware, even though the guy hasn't shown up yet.

It is impossible to let Luobo, a half-sized boy, stay on the ground, because this restless guy likes to run around; moreover, Zhang Hao is worried that Luobo will be attacked by a puma, so he must put Luobo in his backpack and go straight to the ground. Back on the tree, this is the safest state.

It is indeed a bit boring, but Zhang Hao and Greg are very patient; if you want to hunt, you need to be patient enough, not to mention setting traps now, which requires real patience.

Even though he has been in the tree for more than an hour now, Zhang Hao is really not impatient, he knows that this is a process that must be experienced.

Zhang Hao is quite confident about Grieg, an old cowboy; Zhang Hao must have confidence in his marksmanship, and he doesn't think his marksmanship is much worse than Grieg's.But it must also be admitted that Grieg is really capable, looking for traces left by wild beasts and setting traps or sweeping traces, Grieg has done quite well.

Furthermore, Zhang Hao really saw a lot of traces left by the puma, so Zhang Hao can be sure that this is the territory of the puma, and he will definitely find this guy.

While Zhang Hao and Luo Bo were still playing a small game, a signal from Greg came from the opposite tree; Zhang Hao immediately became careful, and quickly stuffed Luo Bo's head into his bag, letting him It's a little more honest.

Carefully observe the surroundings, looking for the cougar through the sniper scope; although there have been times like this before, Zhang Hao will never slack off, he is rushing to fight the cougar!
Finally, I saw the culprit who killed Zhang Hao and Greg who spent almost two days sleeping in the open air, and finally saw the cougar.

Cats look alike to a certain extent, and Zhang Hao thinks this guy really looks like a cat.But hanging a 'lion', it really fits, it can also be said to look like a leopard.However, Zhang Hao feels that this cougar is more similar to the lioness among the African lions.

With thick and long limbs, thick and long tail, and broad and powerful claws, this puma with a body length of more than one meter may not be the largest among pumas, but it still makes people feel dangerous.

Zhang Hao is carefully adjusting the muzzle of the gun. This cougar is very careful, and it maintains enough vigilance; although the long-awaited guy 'appeared', it still approached the 'prey' quietly, and it was constantly The use of trees and rocks as cover.

It is necessary to guarantee a fatal blow, and now is not the best time.

Zhang Hao paid attention to the signal sent by Greg. Zhang Hao would never be complacent just because he hit a few birds or rabbits with flying stones, nor would he be overconfident just because he had hit a wild boar.

It is still necessary to follow in the footsteps of Grieg, this is a real old hunter; Zhang Hao is very self-aware, and he knows to listen to other people's opinions in areas that he is not good at.

Finally, I have entered a suitable shooting range, which is relatively open, so that it can even guarantee the replacement of the gun; hunting in the United States has a lot of things that Zhang Hao seems to need to complain about, such as giving the prey a chance to escape after shooting, saying It is respect for life, which must be complained about.

If you respect life, then don't go hunting; since you hit it, then don't let those beasts 'long pain is worse than short pain', simply kill it with a little more guns, and don't let it have a chance to escape.

The cougar carefully approached the pheasant fragments in the open space, but it seemed to sense some danger, so it stopped to observe.

And at this moment, Zhang Hao saw Greg stretched out his hand slightly and started counting down.

There is nothing to say, Zhang Hao's index finger is on the trigger, and he is aiming at the puma's head; now he is not thinking about what to do to ensure the integrity of the fur as much as possible, but to ensure that this puma that Zhang Hao feels threatened is killed the most important.

'boom'

Grieg fired first, a little faster.

But Zhang Hao was not far behind, because he knew that he had to shoot immediately; the puma seemed to sense danger and wanted to escape, so Greg, an experienced old hunter, was really good at adapting to the situation.

Zhang Hao, who had already adjusted his breathing and aimed at the prey, pulled the trigger. Although the recoil was a bit strong, Zhang Hao enjoyed the fun of the butt of the gun hitting his shoulder. This is the fun of playing with a gun!
Now he no longer cares about the fun of shooting, what Zhang Hao cares about is whether he hit his prey.

The cougar obviously had no chance to escape. Greg shot it in the stomach, and Zhang Hao shot the cougar in the thigh.Although the cougar suddenly wanted to run for its life, the two shots did not completely hit the key points, but it almost caused the cougar to be seriously injured.

The most important thing is that Zhang Hao and Grieg began to renew their guns decisively. The guns they took were all semi-automatic rifles, and they didn't need to fire and pull the bolt once like non-automatic rifles.The better part is that they don't need to pull the bolt again, they can continue to shoot.

'boom'

'boom'

Two more gunshots broke the silence of the forest. Luobo was not afraid of gunshots at all. He often ran out with Zhang Hao to play, and naturally he had seen Zhang Hao shoot glass bottles.The guy stretched out his head excitedly, and his paws rested on Zhang Hao's shoulders again, looking at the puma as well.

But there is no need to worry about anything now, Zhang Hao and Greg are not like some hunting rules in the United States, where the gun can only hold three bullets, and they do not give the prey a chance to escape.The two guys fired back and forth mercilessly, which made the cougar twitch in a pool of blood.

Zhang Hao was very happy, let alone respecting life and the like, Zhang Hao didn't care about some people's moral accusations at all, he really didn't care at all.

Some people may not be able to accept such things as hunting, they feel that they should respect life.But these people should also understand that you'd better not stop other people's hobbies; Zhang Hao and the others like to hunt, and pumas are not rare and protected animals, so they feel at ease.

Zhang Hao and Greg were so happy that they threw away all the branches and leaves on their bodies, and carefully slid down from the tree.

The two of them clapped their hands together and saw that the cougar was lying down peacefully, which was considered a success.

Grieg looked at the cougar and said to Zhang Hao, "This is an adult cougar and it will be very aggressive. We can go home now, we have become heroes."

Zhang Hao also laughed, pointed to the cougar and asked, "What should I do with this guy?"

Greg kicked the cougar's carcass and said, "If you want its fur, then I can help you. But I don't think you will like its meat. We need to dispose of it."

Zhang Hao thought about it, although he really wanted to get a piece of buckskin to clean his gun, although he also thought it would be interesting to get a fur coat for his parents.It's just cougar fur, which doesn't seem particularly popular.

But you can't, it should work a little bit.

"What if I used its fur as leggings?"

Greg patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and said, "It's a good proposal. This fur is not complete. I think it would be a great proposal to make leggings. Your father needs it, and you need it. Of course, I and Stan wants it too."

Zhang Hao nodded, he would not want to take it all by himself; it was only natural for Grieg to get a part of it, because he worked hard, and this old guy even played a greater role in the process.

Smiling and watching Grieg start to peel the skin, this guy Luobo didn't feel disgusted at all, he watched with great interest.

Zhang Hao happily called to announce the good news. Now the alarm can be lifted. The most dangerous wanderer has been dealt with. Now Zhang Hao doesn't need to worry that his family members may be attacked by this guy.

"Dad, there it is. It's a cougar. You get the horse out right away, just go a little further west on the side we came in, and Greg and I will go down the mountain right away."

Zhang Jianye was immediately relieved, and quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll go there right away."

Dragging the wet and bloody mountain lion skin down the mountain, the two of them are completely at ease now; when they entered the mountain, it was very stressful, because at that time, they knew the responsibility on their shoulders, knew that there would be certain dangers, and did not even know the final result. Whether the goal can be achieved, the sense of urgency must make people unable to relax.

But it is different now, because the goal has been achieved; now with enough sense of accomplishment, I also feel that I have experienced some hunting fun after hunting the puma, so I can really be happy.

Returning with a full load is the happiest thing; Zhang Hao is completely relaxed now, and he feels that he can really do more and better for his family.

Now he can act like a great hero. Although such a hero may only be known to his family, it is already enough for Zhang Hao.He doesn't plan to become a superhero and get cheered by mountains and tsunamis, he just wants to care about his family members, he just wants to protect his family members.

That's enough!

For Zhang Hao, the puma crisis is over, and he can continue to enjoy a good life in a down-to-earth manner.
