Here comes a big chapter of 4,000 words.
One chapter is worth two chapters.
Is it okay?
Looks like I’m staying up late again tonight.
Children, go to bed early.
In fact, after arriving outside the ranch, from yesterday evening to this morning, Qin Yi and his party had seen no less than a hundred white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer and other large herbivores near the fence.
But the vast majority of them are female deer, and as a rule, no one usually hunts female deer.
The small number of male deer are all younger without exception.
The largest white-tailed deer is only 7 or 8 years old, so it is not worth hunting.
When it comes to hunting, it’s easy to find a prey, but you can’t hunt just to catch a prey.
If you just meet the quantitative requirements, what’s the value of hunting?
What’s the difference between hunting and killing indiscriminately?
For Qin Yi and his group, who have a rich material life, hunting is more about fun.
The number of allowed prey is limited, so they have to find some valuable prey.
For example, if you hunt a 7- or 8-point white-tailed deer and make it into a specimen, you will not get praise or admiration, but only contempt and disgust.
After all, such white-tailed deer can be found easily.
But if you hunt a buck with ten or even fifteen or six prongs, you will be able to show off for a lifetime.
Things are more valuable when they are rare, that's how it goes. 5 This is also the reason why Qin Yi and his group ran around and never found prey.
At this time, Qin Yi and others had slowed down, and under the cover of the jungle at the foot of the mountain, they were searching forward seriously.
Even Angel kept quiet under Susa's instructions.
However, because the adults were searching carefully, they looked a little sneaky, which made the little girl also look cautious.
She stepped on children's skis and followed Qin Yi with her waist down.
Looking around curiously.
That cute little appearance made the three people at the back, Susa, Kolo and Sara, smile.
At this time, when they arrived at the end of the field, Qin Yi no longer held Teddy.
The fat little brown bear followed Maggie, chirping, and walked at the back of the team.
But I didn’t feel anxious at all.
In this way, the mother and son walked and played, rubbing against the tree trunks and shaking the snowflakes, and then digging in the snow, lowering their heads to smell the dead branches and leaves, which felt like a walk.
Qin Yi noticed this scene and felt satisfied, so it was better to follow Maggie.
You can learn some wilderness survival skills.
The snow here is more messy, and animal hoofprints can be seen everywhere.
Ryan and Hobbs pointed to the hoofprints and introduced in a low voice to everyone, white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, pronghorn, springbok, and even moose and red deer.
This huge herbivore.
It seems that there are not only many animals in the periphery of the pasture, but also many types.
Qin Yi looked at the hoof prints of moose and red deer that looked like cow and horse hoof prints, and thought of the moose that Maggie had hunted before.
I secretly regretted it, I should have applied for a few moose spots if I had known.
The meat of this large species of deer tastes really good.
Well, Qin Yi admits that he is also a foodie But there is also some trouble because, as he thought on the road yesterday, there are gatherings of herbivores.
It will definitely attract predators.
His guess was confirmed after searching for a few more minutes.
Ryan, who was at the front, suddenly pointed to the big tree a few meters away, and reminded in a cautious voice: "Hey, Yi.
Come and see, the coyote's paw prints."
After being reminded, Lane and Hobbs immediately looked around carefully again.
The shotguns that had been carried on their backs because of skiing with both hands were also held in their hands.
In the wild, if you don't find any traces of predators, it's fine.

But if you find clues and don't be alert, you're committing suicide.
Qin Yi hurried forward to check.
Sure enough, on the snow next to the big tree, there were plum blossom-like footprints.
They were slightly larger than those of a cattle dog and had claw tips.
They were the footprints of coyotes, because dog footprints were not like that.
Big, but the gray wolf's footprints are even bigger than this.
The only ones that fit this profile are coyotes.
Coyotes are the product of crosses between dogs and wolves, and some are evolved from stray dogs.
They are cunning and ferocious and are common at the junction of state grasslands and pastures.
Of course, if dogs like Black Rice and Wheat have claws that are not as big as those of an adult gray wolf, they are still bigger than those of a coyote, but it is obvious that the dogs in the pasture cannot come here alone.
Qin Yi frowned, his suspicion came true.
"Yi, is there any danger?"
Amanda came over.
This careless girl was still inevitably a little worried when she really might encounter a beast like a wolf.
She looked around carefully, and she got goosebumps all over when she thought that there might be a few wolves hiding in the corner watching her group.
Sarah was not much better than her.
She unconsciously leaned towards Qin Yi, holding the shotgun and looking around, looking cautiously.
But Susa and Keluo didn't pay much attention to it, because when they went camping with Qin Yilai in the summer, they had even seen gray wolves up to two meters long, but they didn't care too much about coyotes two sizes smaller.
And the black rice and wheat are all here.
With their size, coyotes may not be able to fight them.
Not to mention that there is McGee behind him.
This big guy is not afraid of 7 or 8 gray wolves alone, and coyotes are even more trivial.
In fact, they don't know that after the transformation of McGee, there is no problem for a dozen of them.
His strength, speed and stamina are doubled.
It is not as simple as just talking.
He can compete with an adult male bear.
Hearing this, Qin Yi looked at the worried expressions of the two sisters and smiled to comfort him: "Haha, don't worry, Amanda, so many of us are carrying guns.
Three or five coyotes are not scary.
Besides, there is also Mai Ji is here" The two sisters tightened the shotguns in their hands and looked at McGee who was playing with Teddy behind them.
They felt relieved.
Yes, with McGee here, there was really no danger unless they encountered a large wolf pack.
The group of people continued to walk forward, but because they found traces of coyotes, the hunting team became more cautious, and the atmosphere became a bit solemn, no longer the playful mentality of an outing along the way.
The formation was shrunk, and the women and children gathered in the middle.
Not far away on the right was the pasture fence, with McGee watching from behind, but there was no danger of anything happening.
Therefore, Ye Fang guarded the left periphery, and Qin Yi walked in front with Ryan and Hobbs.
In case of an accident, the three men would be calmer and their marksmanship would be more accurate.
Heimi and Xiaomai also smelled a faint uneasiness in the team.
Following Qin Yi's feet, two pairs of black eyes were piercing and bright.
They were the most loyal partners, meticulously investigating any suspicious situations.
Just like that, following the tracks of the deer.
When a few people came to the edge of the small woods, their eyes suddenly opened up, because there was a low-lying land to the right and a few dozen meters away from the group.
The situation in it made the still worried team suddenly become energetic.
"Hey, guys, squat down quickly" Lane and Hobbes were beaming.
He hid behind the tree for the first time, and then saw Amanda and Ye Fang still stretching their heads to look, and immediately whispered a reminder.
The two people, who had been looking forward to hunting a big deer, quickly calmed down their excitement and squatted down behind Ryan and the others, but still exposed half of their heads to look around to see if there was a suitable target.

Sousa was holding Angel, along with Khloe and Sara.
He crouched and got behind Qin Yi. at this time.
Qin Yi was also hiding behind a big tree, looking equally happy.
This was the deer group that he had been looking for for most of the morning, and he was finally going to get something.
Yes, there is a large herd of deer in the lowlands.
It's not just 7 or 8 as previously judged, but nearly 20.
He took a quick look just now and judged that there were at least two large deer with more than ten forks inside.
Angel hid behind Qin Yi, remembering Susa's instructions.
He didn't speak loudly along the way.
Occasionally he would whisper in Susa's ear when he was curious about something.
At this time, seeing the adults' behavior, he immediately became interested in the low-lying land.
She hadn't seen it as a child just now, but now that she was approaching, she naturally wanted to see clearly.
The little girl followed the example of an adult and secretly exposed half of her head.
She opened her eyes wide and looked over there, then quickly retracted, as if she would be discovered if she looked for half a second longer.
The novel and exciting feeling made her feel Very fun.
"Wow, Uncle Yi, there are so many small deer, and there are also big deer."
The little girl opened her mouth and looked at Qin Yi with wide eyes, as if she had just seen an incredible scene.
She pointed at the low-lying land with her little fat finger, her expression was shocked, but in the eyes of the adults, she found it cute.
So cute.
"Yes, yes, there are a lot of big deer there.
Let's shoot a few deer and take them home, okay?"
Qin Yi carefully observed it again.
It was indeed true.
There were two big deer with ten forks, one with twelve forks and one with fourteen forks.
It seemed that there was going to be a big harvest today.
But before starting the fight, you still have to coax the little girl.
If you don't explain clearly, the little girl will be sad.
Maybe you can take her to the side and let Ye Fang and a few people hunt her secretly, but educating children cannot be avoided.
"But, the little deer are all cute and if you beat the big deer, the little deer will have no mother."
When the little girl heard that the big deer was going to be shot, she was a little reluctant and muttered pitifully.
She still remembered what Susa said yesterday.
The fawns would be very sad when they left their mother.
They would not want to eat and would starve.
Qin Yi naturally remembered it, and glanced at Susa helplessly, only to see her shrugging her shoulders helplessly, so she had no choice but to think of other ways.
At this time, Ke Luo blinked twice and came up with an idea: "Angel, we will only hunt one or two.
There are so many big deer here who are the mothers of the fawns.
They will live with the fawns.
The fawns are not considered to have left their mothers." .
And don’t you want to eat venison burrito?
I really want it.”
Venison Burrito The little girl's big eyes lit up, and she immediately opened her mouth unconsciously, wanting to eat.
At that moment, she hesitated and asked: "Then, does the fawn really have a mother?"
"Of course" Qin Yi quickly responded, and at the same time he did not forget to look at Ke Luo with admiration.
The method was really good.
He knew that the little girl was a foodie, so he lured her with delicious food.

"We only shot two.
There are more than a dozen big deer here, and they are all the mothers of these little deer."
The little girl stretched her little head to look at the deer again, then blinked her big eyes and looked at Qin Yi.
She was thinking about the problem between the deer and the burrito.
Her face was a little tangled, but in the end, the burrito defeated the deer.
"Okay then, both ends."
The little girl stretched out two fat white fingers and shook them at the adults.
Her pouted smile made everyone smile.
After the matter was settled, Qin Yi handed over the rest to Ye Fang and Ryan, picked up the little girl, and walked away with Sousa and Keluo.
It’s better not to let children see scenes of shooting and bloodshed too early.
Sara wanted to go away with them, but Amanda insisted that she stay and take pictures for her, saying that she would record the scene of hunting the first white-tailed deer as a testimony of her life experience.
There was no other way, Sara had to stay with her.
The antlers of these two male deer are very beautiful.
Not only are there many forks, each one has more than ten forks, but they are also smooth and beautiful in shape.
They are most suitable for deer head specimens.
Therefore, both Ryan and Hobbs are a little excited.
They can see that there are not many opportunities to see such a big deer.
It depends entirely on luck.
And because of hunting restrictions, only Ryan has shot one, not even Hobbes.
However, Ye Fang came all the way just for hunting, and Amanda was a girl.
It was difficult for the two old men to compete, so they had to give the opportunity to the two of them, while he watched with regret.
So, Ye Fang and Amanda discussed it, and the one with twelve crosses belonged to Ye Fang, and the one with fourteen crosses belonged to Amanda.
The two of them hid themselves behind the tree, loaded the bullets, and waited for Ryan to count the number, and then shot the bullets at the same time. trigger The two of them were squinting and aiming aside.
On Qin Yi's side, the three of them took the little girl to play with Maggie.
There, you can't see what's going on in the low-lying areas, so you don't have to worry about the little girl seeing the scene where the big deer was shot and fell to the ground bleeding.
At this time, Maggie was holding an unknown plant rhizome and chewing it sweetly.
Teddy also had a piece, but the little guy didn't eat it.
He was playing on a dead and fallen tree trunk, climbing up and down.
I stumble from time to time, but my interest remains unabated "Bang bang" At this time, two dull gunshots, less than half a second apart, startled Maggie.
Animals are naturally sensitive to these life-threatening things.
Qin Yi quickly went up to comfort him while guessing about Ye Fang and their hunting. result.
Before he could finish his thoughts, several people more than twenty meters away let out a burst of exclamations as the gunshots fell.
Qin Yi and the others were startled, thinking that something had happened.
They quickly looked back and saw that Heimi and Wheat had already rushed up.
Amanda quickly loaded her gun again, and with a "bang", there was another shot.
At this time, Ryan, Hobbes, and even Sara raised their shotguns, but they did not fire.
When Qin Yi saw this, he immediately understood what happened.
An accident did occur, but it was Amanda who missed the target.
The first shot missed the prey, or missed its vital point.
When the prey tried to run away, she fired again.
The three Ryans raised their guns subconsciously, but they did not know how to shoot because this was not their prey.
Shooting casually would make Amanda feel embarrassed.
At this time, Ye Fang looked at the direction Amanda was aiming at, feeling happy and worried at the same time.
This expression made Qin Yi guess that his prey should have been obtained, and his current worry was about Amanda's accident.
At this time, Amanda, who fired twice, finally showed a smile, and several people beside her also breathed a sigh of relief, letting Qin Yi know that Amanda had grabbed the prey twice.

When hunting here, there is an unwritten rule.
A maximum of three shots can be fired on a prey.
If there is still no prey left, no more shots can be fired.
This is to leave a way for the prey to survive, which feels like God's will and that his fate should not be cut off.
Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief when Amanda captured the prey with two shots.
It would be depressing if the dozen or so big deer that he finally found were let go because of a mistake.
After handing the little girl over to Susa and Keluo, Qin Yi ran over to take a look and found that Heimi and Wheat were biting a nearby big deer and dragging it this way.
It was the one that Ye Fang knocked down with a shot, and the bullet hit him right in the middle.
The forehead and this shooting technique made Qin Yi wonder if this guy was lucky.
And Amanda's one had two wounds, one on the neck and one between the breastbones.
Blood flowed all over the ground, and the whole white snow was dyed red.
This scene made Amanda and Sara, who were overly excited, uncomfortable for a while.
Their faces were obviously a little pale.
After taking a look, they finally did not dare to look again and ran towards McGee together, planning to meet Sousa.
Chat with Khloe to relieve stress.
