Chapter 1251: Spotting a large wild boar herd

"Let's go, today we arrived at the highest peak of the mountains in the ranch to rest for the night, and tomorrow we will hide in the mountains and look for prey.

Too bad it's not North America, otherwise we could even hunt brown bears, gray wolves, moose, and even polar bears.

However, if the wild boar lives long enough, 600 or 700 kilograms are possible. "

Hearing that he was hiding in the mountains to shoot targets, and that he might hit a super wild boar, Frank immediately looked forward to it.

It took three hours to lead the two horses to the foot of the highest mountain. Li Changheng, who was always paying attention to the front all the way, was resting again and looked behind him to make sure there was no problem. Then he began to look for a place to camp at night.

Finally, under a cliff halfway up the mountain, a recessed open rocky clearing was found.

"Okay, let's camp here." Frank looked around and nodded when he heard Li Changheng's words.

There is a mountain wall to block the wind, and the tent is set up in the sunken mountain wall. Even if it snows tonight, it can block the snowflakes to a certain extent. When going out to ambush and hunt tomorrow, the two horses can be placed here first.

And the surrounding is full of snow, so you don't have to worry about the trouble of getting water.

What Li Changheng thinks more is to put the fire in the innermost place at night, cover it with a tent and cover the gap with a windproof cloth. If you are not close, it will be difficult to see the fire.

Li Changheng checked the surroundings and made sure he didn't find any footprints of beasts. Then he said to Frank, "You are in charge of setting up the tent. I'll go around and look around. If we can hunt wild game such as rabbits, dinner will be settled."

Although he brought tactical rations, neither Frank nor Li Changheng wanted to eat dry biscuits.

Together with Frank, he took off the luggage on the horse's back, collected enough dry rotten wood for one night, and successfully lit a fire with special flint and tinder.

Only then did Li Changheng take out the rifle from the holster, give Frank a few instructions, and experiment with the intercom calls, and then went to look for dinner alone while the sky was still dark.

With excellent eyesight, hearing and observation skills, Li Changheng quickly found the rabbit hiding under the snow, but he was in no hurry to do it.

After all, there are still holes in the snow, so it is not so easy to catch rabbits.

After a while, a series of hoofprints of bob-tailed goats were found.

But after he followed the footprints for more than ten minutes, he was suddenly bluffed by a beast trail under the snow.

It is true that the hoof prints are wild boars, but the number of hoof prints is really too much.

After scanning back and forth several times, Li Changheng's heart tightened. If he guessed correctly, the number of wild boars in this herd must exceed dozens, or even more.

Thinking of the videos of hundreds or even hundreds of wild boars migrating that he had seen, even Li Changheng couldn't help but shudder.

In terms of ferocity, lions, tigers, and leopards are of course the first few, and they can crush most of the bones of the human body with one bite.

But in terms of destructive power, wild boars can definitely rank first.

A collision of two or three hundred wild boars would seriously injure even a tiger, let alone a human.

Moreover, wild boars are often dispatched in groups, only the first pig does not run, and the adult wild boars behind will most likely follow the first pig and rush in one direction.

Also contrary to many people's expectations, he holds grudges like a wolf.

Li Changheng originally planned to track all the way there to determine how many wild boars there were, but seeing that the sky was getting dark, he decided to talk about it tomorrow morning.

Looking around, he quickly found that on a thick and thick tree, the elder's two forked trunks more than two meters above the ground were suitable as an ambush point.

However, thinking of Frank's skill, Li Changheng gave up this point again.

Continue to look up, and after a while, I found another hillside with a visual distance of about 200 meters.

For Li Changheng at this distance, he can shoot one shot without a scope.

But for Frank, even the M416 he carried with the 32x scope was no small challenge.

There is no problem with aiming, but if the hand shakes slightly when pulling the trigger, the bullet will miss even half a meter.

"Zhi Zhi Zhi", Frank's voice came from the intercom, "Henry, it's almost dark, have you found any food?"

Li Changheng knew that Frank was afraid when he heard it, but he didn't laugh at Frank. After all, everyone would feel fear when he was alone in the mountains.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "I'll be right back."

Along the way back, I searched carefully, but unfortunately I didn't find anything.

It’s not that there is no game in the mountains and forests, but that in winter most animals either hide in burrows under the snow or in tree holes on trees.

And the British Isles lack ferocious beasts, and even since wolves disappeared, foxes can be regarded as the largest carnivores.

However, when the trend of keeping lions, tigers, and cougars as pets rose, and people continued to abandon these beasts, England even became a paradise for cougars in the future.

When Li Changheng was able to see the camp, his ears moved suddenly, and he looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a colorful pheasant known in the Celestial Dynasty as a 'chicken sitting at the bottom of the prison', carrying two gray pheasants. A brown female pheasant stands in a tree preparing to spend the night.

Carefully took out the Glock from his waist, and with the help of trees as cover, he sneaked over twenty meters. When he was more than ten meters away, he took a deep breath, hid behind a tree, turned sideways to reveal half of his body, and raised his hand. Three shots.

With the continuous gunshots of "bang bang bang", even though the three pheasants had spread their wings and even jumped up to take flight, they still did not escape the 9mm bullet.

Except for the first one whose head was directly blown off, the other two were also hit to the body in the air, and fell from the sky after struggling to flap their wings a few times.

"Squeak," Frank's voice came again from the intercom, "Henry, did you shoot? How are you doing now?"

"I'm fine," Li Changheng replied with a smile on the walkie-talkie, "I just caught three pheasants~lightnovelpub.net~ You first use snow to boil a pot of water, and I'll treat the pheasants and come back."

"Understood", Frank was relieved to be sure that it was Li Changheng who fired the shot.

And Li Changheng wasn't worried whether the gunshots would attract any strange things.

After all, this ranch belonged to the summer castle that Philip's family had been visiting all year round. If there were any goblins and ghosts, they had been destroyed or discovered by the English long ago.

Therefore, it is people who should be guarded the most.

Of course, herds of wild boars should now be added.

Using a dagger, he directly disassembled the pheasant, including its skin and fur, and buried all the internal organs in the snowdrifts. Then Li Changheng returned to the camp with the three pheasants that had been processed simply.

After seeing Li Changheng coming back, Frank finally felt relieved.

The two boiled it with boiling water first, and then changed the water before making stewed chicken for dinner.
