Chapter 477 Hunting (on)
Chapter 477 Hunting (Part 1)
From getting off the car to choosing a hunting location, you also need to walk for a while. If you are not taking care of children, the essence of hunting should be exploring on foot or on horseback. Now leave a short distance to walk, and let them experience the fun of walking on the mountain road. At the beginning, the three little guys were very excited. The flowers and plants around them made them feel fresh. They ran ahead to let everyone hurry up, but within a few minutes, they fell behind.
An Feng, with a shotgun on his back, turned his head: “Is this not enough?”
“Very tired.” Both Alice and William said.
“It’s only been five minutes.” An Feng smiled. “There is good news. The most persistent ones are allowed to choose their prey freely.”
What the **** is this attractive, they keep up.
Slow down, and about fifteen minutes later, Aklan took them up the mountain from the foot of the mountain. On the other side was an open plain with few trees and lush green grass. “The terrain is good for foxes, wild boars and deer, and it’s more secluded,” Akland said.
An Feng stood on the top of the mountain and looked around, nodded: “Just choose this place!”
They found a flat ground and laid mats. An Feng took down the shotgun, a classic SSG69, and a magazine. After checking, he handed the gun to Alice: “According to what I told you, the standard lying Shooting posture, details and process all need attention.”
Alice caught the gun that was almost as tall as her, pulled the trigger skillfully, checked whether there was any ammunition in the chamber, then checked the safety, and then reloaded the magazine. Before the prey was found, the gun would not be loaded. The same is true for William next to her, and the parents supervise the process.
Others squat or lie next to the child, and take out the telescope and rangefinder. Aklan arranged a task, and the guards patrolled and observed the surroundings, and then released the hounds to track down the prey that might be out in the vicinity, and drive them to this place if there is a chance.
Hunting is a test of stamina and patience, and the choice of location must be appropriate. If a group of prey is killed casually, it will lose the fun, so it is best to have a small number of targets that can make people concentrate…Aklan and others It is up to you to find such a goal.
The three children were tired from walking just now, and they are chatting now.
After all, they are not soldiers, and they have to find something to pass the time while waiting. The two ladies sat behind the stone and chatted about tonight’s meal, plans after the hunt, or some family chores… Matthew and An Feng were pure , in the exchange of experience in the use of firearms.
Thirty minutes later, Aklan’s voice sounded on the intercom on the ground: “There is a wild boar running towards you. It weighs about 180 pounds. It was bitten by a hound on its front leg, but it is a very cunning guy! I Let the hounds drive it from your ten o’clock direction.”
“Get ready for action, children!” An Feng got down on his stomach and picked up the binoculars.
The two children raised their guns and stared at the scope, and Fred picked up the rangefinder… About five minutes later, a black panicked figure appeared in the field of vision of the telescope in the green grass. It was far away, but the surroundings were quiet, except The sound of the wind was the faint whining of a wild boar.
“Load it!” An Feng said.
Alice pushed up and pulled the handle vigorously, then pulled it back, and repeatedly pushed it back to the original position. A small-caliber bullet had been loaded, and Fred, who was in charge of distance measurement, read out the data: “520…500…”
The wild boar was running towards them, unaware that there were several pairs of eyes staring at it from above.
“Calm down…Calm down.” Matthew pressed his hand down, his voice very slow and soft, for fear of scaring away the prey. When Fred’s report stopped at 320 meters, the wild boar stopped.
It turned sideways, one eye looked out, and it gasped.
“Turn on the safety!” An Feng whispered, keeping his arms propped up, and the other hand on Alice’s shoulder that was holding the gun. Even with the special use of small-caliber ammunition, a child of this age still couldn’t withstand the recoil. So they both get a shot each.
Alice’s thumb holding the gun pushed open the upper safety, revealing a red dot. It was already in the disarmed state and ready to fire at any time. William beside him gave a thumbs up with the other hand, indicating that he was also ready. All communication is carried out quietly.
At a distance of 300 meters, it is still difficult to hit it. The adjustment of the magnification of the scope is only one point, and there is also the selection of the scale, the wind direction and the environment considered… But the child does not have such complicated ideas. Put your crosshairs on the ugly creature and fire on command.
Matthew said: “Listen to my order…”
The children’s index fingers were already on the trigger, and the wild boar was wandering around restlessly. It could feel danger by instinct, but there were pursuers behind and ambushes in front. It might be difficult for its simple mind to make a decision. At that moment, Matthew said: “Fire!”
The two children pulled the triggers almost at the same time, and the two bullets flew out from the barrel, chasing different parts of the wild boar. Run like a frightened bird.
“Miss.” An Feng reported, “Continue to load!”
“Hit!” said Matthew.
Alice reacted, pulled the handle, withdrew the hot bullet casing inside, and reloaded the bullet. But the wild boar trail is very difficult to grasp, and it is impossible for children to hit it. At this time, the voice of the walkie-talkie sounded: “Pay attention to the firepower, we will chase!”
“Turn off the insurance!” An Feng said to Alice.
Everyone stood up one after another, the wild boar fled in another direction, the hounds roared behind them, and several excited hounds chased after them, followed by Aklan and two guards. An Feng looked at the children who were eager to try, and said, “Give me the gun! We will chase too!”
“Follow up! Children!” Matthew said, and they went down the mountain one after the other.
The sound of the hounds was still echoing nearby. Considering the safety of the children, they did not go down the mountain fast, but they could be sure that the prey did not escape the pursuit. The most exciting part of the hunt was that the three children had just had enough rest. The stimulation made them forget their fatigue. Excited to follow behind the parents.
“I hit it!” William said excitedly, “It’s great!”
“I—” Alice jumped over a stone, “I created the opportunity for you!”
“Really?” William didn’t believe it.
“If you don’t believe me, ask my dad.” She said while running, “Otherwise you definitely wouldn’t…”
“Look ahead, children!” Matthew pointed to more than 200 meters away, the hounds had surrounded the wild boar, and the two sides were engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Five tall and mighty hounds, facing an already extremely angry wild boar, it is very interesting.
They stood halfway up the mountain and picked up binoculars to observe. The shortest Fred even pulled La Anfeng’s clothes: “Dad, I can’t see it.”
An Feng picked him up and handed the binoculars to him: “Is this okay?”
“I saw it!” He happily picked up the binoculars. While the fight was going on, the hunters around were watching, and the weapons in their hands were already loaded.
It was very difficult for the wild boar to break free from the encirclement. Five well-trained hounds besieged it in turn. They used coordinated raids and never confronted it head-on. The wild boar’s hind legs were bleeding, and it lost some flexibility, but it was still a maniac Yes, extremely dangerous creatures.
Moreover, the hound’s teeth can only do so little damage to the wild boar. The wild boar’s skin is thick and thick, and it likes to roll in the mud. Over the years, its body is like a layer of armor. For a while, the two sides fought inextricably. Look for opportunities to break through.
“Pigs are so powerful.” Alice said.
“This guy’s vitality is quite strong!” An Feng said, “Let’s keep up!”
They went down the mountain, surrounded by hunters. The wild boar’s escape was only temporary, and the hounds behind never gave up. When they chased to the front, Aklan’s whistle sounded, and the hunting hounds turned back, followed by the sound of gunfire, and then the result came from the intercom: “The prey is down! ”
“We succeeded!” An Feng said to everyone.
“Victory!” The children clapped their hands in celebration.
“We are going to go there.” An Feng said to the people over there.
The team slowed down to catch up. After walking 200 meters, they saw the surrounding crowd and hounds. They were biting the wild boar that fell on the ground. After a while, the wild boar finally whined and died. When observed in the past, its back and neck were hit by bullets, and the blood flow continued.
Matthew poked the guy with a gun barrel: “It’s a thick layer of mud, no wonder the hounds can’t handle it!”
“But we killed it!” William said.
“And my help.” Alice said, she just wanted to get her own credit here.
“It’s all thanks to you.” An Feng said with a smile, stroking Fred’s head: “There is also yours, an indispensable observer for an ace sniper!”
Fred also laughed. Unlike his sister, he was not competitive.
The next step is to commemorate the victory, squatting in front of this big guy in turn, holding their guns and taking pictures. The last thing is to consider how to carry this guy, because the nearby is hilly terrain, you have to climb mountains and ridges, and there is no means of transportation, so moving it is also a labor-intensive job.
In the end, I took out the net cover I was carrying, covered the wild boar, grabbed one each in a group of four, and left from the nearest direction. The journey was less than one kilometer, but it also made these people very tired, that is, the ladies and children. A cozy discussion about their performance and dinner tonight.
The practice is naturally indispensable to the roast pig feast, and Joanna has already called back to let the kitchen prepare it.
Joanna put down the phone, turned to everyone and said, “How about we have a barbecue party tonight?”
“I agree!” Alice raised her hand.
Others have no opinion. Although charcoal grilled wild boar is not popular, it is good to do it once in a while. Especially this kind of wild hunting, which is almost an indispensable night leisure item… They worked hard to move the wild boar to the open area, and the off-road vehicle also drove over.
It took one last effort to send the pig to the car, and everyone returned with a full load.
