Rural life in America

Chapter 513
Zhang Hao was patiently looking for the deer road, and he was basically sure of some things, basically there must be a herd of deer around; this is good news, he believed that he could hit a deer with great confidence.

Hunting is very knowledgeable. Most outstanding hunters understand the habits of various wild animals, because different hunting methods need to be adopted according to the different habits of wild animals, which is more efficient.

For example, deer, the vast majority of deer like to eat grass in the water or drink water, they walk down the mountain at a certain time every night, and return to the mountain at dawn.Without any noise or disturbed by more ferocious beasts, the deer walks up and down the mountain every day on the same old road, and as time goes by, it walks out a very smooth road.

According to the habits of deer, then choose the most favorable place to shoot, hide in the high grass or hidden among the big trees below the wind, and wait quietly with the gun in hand.

Because if the deer find that someone has been here or there are other alarms, then they will no longer take this old road, or change the time to go up and down the mountain.Therefore, it is natural to be careful, and absolutely not to startle the snake.

Zhang Hao and Greg have now discovered the deer trail. Now they need to determine whether it is an abandoned deer trail or a deer trail in use. This is very important, and they must grasp the situation.

Greg shouted loudly, "Hao, I found what we need, and they are here!"

Zhang Hao immediately trotted to find Greg, and indeed found the traces left by the deer; in fact, it was feces, and it was fresh feces. This is indeed good news, and it proves that this deer trail is indeed in use.

"Old guy, it looks like our luck is very good, and we will have a very good harvest." Zhang Hao smiled and punched Greg, which is worthy of celebration, "It seems that your fireplace has been decorated, and we need it next Be patient."

Greg also laughed and was in a good mood, "Boy, it seems that I am really lucky. This is a great retirement gift. Haha, this is my harvest, get ready!"

Zhang Hao is also happy, he knows that Greg is a little over-excited now; for hunters, hunting deer and bears is definitely the most fulfilling, and this is the full harvest.

And now, Greg is about to return home with a full load. This is definitely fulfilling his wish and satisfying his willingness to hunt.

Let's get ready, first simply lay out traps, continue to track the deer, and find a reliable ambush point; for Zhang Hao and Greg, the next job is very boring and requires a lot of patience.

Naturally, there is no big problem for the two of them, just wait patiently; an excellent hunter naturally needs to have enough patience, which is the basic quality that a hunter needs to possess.

Luobo is obediently lying under the tree, or he is resting now; for it, it is a bit boring now, because there is nothing it can do, so it is more realistic to recharge its energy now.

"Hao, you need to find a new partner for hunting in the future. I'm retired, completely retired!" Greg was a little sad, and he couldn't accept it. "I feel that these two days are really too tired, I dare not Make sure I can keep going."

Zhang Hao was indeed a little depressed. The old man he was familiar with was really old. "Old man, although you have retired, it does not have much loss for me. You know I am not good at sensationalism. Although you have retired, but You'll still come to the ranch often."

This is indeed the case, Greg has indeed retired, but this does not mean that he will not come to the ranch completely; so there is nothing to be sad about, whether it is he coming to the ranch or Zhang Hao looking for him, it is still very convenient to contact, or You can talk about the old days.

After confirming the ambush point and making simple traps, Zhang Hao and Greg also found some small animals; naturally, they were pheasants and rabbits, plus the potatoes they brought, and they simply ate some to replenish their energy.

"Old man, you go to rest. I will keep watch. I am young. If the deer come, I will wake you up."

Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Greg didn't try his best, he knew that his physical strength was too much, and he knew that he didn't have the ability to continue; therefore, he should take a good rest, so that he could guarantee that when the herd of deer appeared with one blow, he would be defeated. middle.

Zhang Hao is still in good health, so it's not a big problem for him to stay up all night; keep your attention and pay attention to the movement at all times, and you can't be distracted at this time, otherwise the night will be considered a waste of time.

Greg is hugging Luobo. Luobo's thick fur can still keep out the cold, while Zhang Hao is obviously wearing a coat to keep watch in the dark; to be honest, sometimes hunting is just to make himself uncomfortable, which is why Zhang Hao recently The reason why I have not been so enthusiastic about hunting in recent years is that it is really more comfortable to stay at home.

It's really a crime, because the temperature in the mountains itself is relatively low, not to mention it is still in the middle of the night; and because in order to avoid arousing the enemy, even the fire cannot be lit.

It was pitch black all around. If it wasn't for Zhang Hao's courage, ordinary people would really be terrified in such an environment, as if a claw would stick out from the darkness at any time, making people unable to relax at all times.

Of course, the greatest sense of accomplishment in hunting is the moment when you hit the prey, that is the real enjoyment and fun.

Zhang Hao, who was holding a shotgun, was drowsy, but he still maintained some vigilance; not only worried about missing the herd of deer, but also because many wild animals were active in such darkness.

The tough environment can hone people's will, let alone experienced old hunters.

Suddenly, Zhang Hao gently pushed Greg, "Old man, there is something going on."

Greg immediately got up and touched the shotgun from his side, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Hao lowered his voice and said, "It shouldn't be a beast. Luobo is sleeping soundly now. I think the herd of deer should have arrived. We should start preparing now."

The two of them are quite familiar with the surrounding environment; although there are at least two hours before the sun rises, it really doesn't matter, Zhang Hao and Greg don't care about it at all.

The early bird catches the worm, and for hunters who want to catch deer, staying up late is a must; unless they are lucky enough to find deer during the day, otherwise they can only look forward to the early morning It's time.

"I hope this is a relatively large herd of deer. I don't want to see a group of fawns or does. Only the antlers of a buck are worthy of me!" Greg was gearing up, worried and looking forward to it.

Zhang Hao smiled, it was true; if after staying in the mountains for two days, he ended up meeting a herd of fawns or does, it would undoubtedly be even more disappointing.

Only stags with complete antlers are eligible to be specimens. If a specimen of a doe or fawn is hung on the fireplace, it is actually even more shameful. Only the most rookie will think it is a harvest!
Greg and Zhang Hao walked in the dark, but they were far away from the deer because they were worried that the deer would sense the danger and escape; there must be no omissions, otherwise it would be really difficult to find the deer.

Finally arrived at the predetermined ambush point, Greg immediately began to disguise, and began to look for a favorable shooting location; and Zhang Hao did not hesitate at all, he continued to move forward cautiously, he needed to check the reality of the deer.

Finally, finally saw this herd of deer. Although the sky was only slightly brighter now, Zhang Hao could still barely see the reality of this herd of deer, and was quite pleasantly surprised.

Immediately go back the same way, now you need to ambush on the deer road.

"Old guy, it's a white-rumped deer, you're lucky!" Zhang Hao was indeed very happy, because usually white-rumped deer also move in small groups, but in many cases it is the female deer with the fawn, and the male deer Generally, it is a solo activity or a smaller group of bucks.

But this time I saw only three white-rumped deer, all of them were stags; luck was not limited to these, but also because these were three stags that should have grown up at first glance, they were relatively large, and their antlers were not tempered by fighting. Category.

"Hurry up and set up an ambush, you refill the gun!" Greg was pleasantly surprised, and made a decision just to be on the safe side, "We only choose the one with the largest and most complete antlers, you are responsible for refilling the gun, don't let it have a chance to escape .”

Understand, double insurance; although Greg is an experienced old hunter, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will come hunting again.At this time, he is looking for stability, and he needs Zhang Hao to double insurance for him.

Zhang Hao climbed up a tree, and it would be better for his career to be condescending; Greg was lying in the bushes, and he didn't care about being uncomfortable at all.For Lobo, he was naturally lying next to Stan.

The two waited so patiently, and finally waited until the herd of deer turned back along the deer path; it was just early morning at this time, and the insects and birds were singing, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, which seemed so harmonious and natural.

Zhang Hao saw Greg's signal, and both of them aimed at the deer with the largest antlers; Zhang Hao aimed at the neck, which could ensure a fatal blow.

"boom"

A gunshot broke the peace in the mountains, and two deer ran away in panic; while the other deer fell to the ground and struggled. It would not have the opportunity to run and forage in the forest again.

It took two days and one night of hard guard; but Zhang Hao didn't fire a single shot, because Greg was killed by one shot, and Zhang Hao didn't need to make up the shot at all.

Although Zhang Hao seemed to have done useless work, he didn't think so; he really didn't gain anything from the prey, but seeing the old man laughing happily, Zhang Hao naturally felt that the suffering of the past two days was worth it. He also had such awareness long ago!

Greg is extremely happy, because this may be the last time he participates in deer hunting, and he is very satisfied to have such a harvest; now, he can officially retire!
