A herd of elk was drinking by the stream, and when they heard the smell, they looked up in confusion and looked at the strange things that looked like hills.

Jones forced his eyes open to prevent himself from falling asleep.

Yesterday, the old Barton wanted to participate in the vigil, but they did not allow it, plus Han's father, each took turns to watch for two hours.

Although he had only been up for more than an hour, the period before dawn was the most difficult to get through.

White smoke rose from the fire, bending and drifting upwards, and the flames had been extinguished, leaving only gray or black charcoal embers.

"Good morning, Jones."

"Why don't I watch it for you, and then you go to sleep?" Old Barton opened the door to the tent, stepped out, stretched, and said.

"No, thank you Barton, how did you sleep last night?"

"Hey, don't say it, Martinez snoring, all night, all night! I want to shove my socks in his mouth! ”

"Old man, isn't it rude for anyone to tell you that you are talking bad about people behind your back?" Martinez poked his head out of the tent, sleepy-eyed, and spoke.

"I just said that when I knew you were awake! I'm 60 years old, and I slept lightly, but I thought I had a nightmare! ”

"Okay, okay, you guys pay attention to the neighborhood, I'll go to the stream to wash and wash, my God, the sun is finally out." Jones wiped his face and spoke, putting down his shotgun and standing up, walking not far away.

The yellow tent in the middle trembled, and a hand reached out from it first, and then Han Qianshan showed his face, saw so many people, smiled and said, "Everyone, nothing happened in the second half of the night, right?" ”

The words were addressed to Martinez, who stood guard behind his boss.

The black guy was lifting his pants up, and when he heard the question, he turned around: "No, boss, it's just some hares." ”

"I don't know where those gray wolves went, there are a lot of them!"

"Barton, on 20,000 acres of land, it's too hard to find a few hundred British Columbia gray wolves." Father Han grabbed his hair with his hands, dozed off and continued: "Let's try again today, if not, I'll go back in the afternoon, it's been a long time, and my wife is not at ease." ”

"This time I went south, the grass was more lush, and there were more animals, so I don't believe I couldn't catch them!"

"Okay, let's go when they get up, let's go wash up first, I'll take a look."

"Okay, I'll get you back when I'm done." After Old Barton finished speaking, he waved his hand to the side: "Good morning, Han Xuan!" ”

"Hi, Barton."

Father Han heard the voice and turned around: "Got up?" Go get dressed, we're ready to go after we've eaten. ”

"Well, just pack it up."

……

The snow-capped mountains are obscured, leaving only the white peaks.

The sky was clear, dark clouds had been brewing all day, and no rain had fallen.

The white-tailed deer that was hunted last night was buried on the spot after cutting off one leg and taking it away, and if it was left to rot in the wild and eaten by other animals, it would be infected with diseases.

"What a waste." Xiao Han Xuan thought helplessly, but there was no way, they were too heavy, and it was unrealistic to bring them all back.

There are built stone paths in the forest park, but there are often people passing by there, there are too few animals, and now they walk on the path close to the middle of Flathead.

More than twenty meters away, a gray hare did not notice the danger, and walked in the grass on its broad hind legs, Han Qianshan raised his shotgun and was aiming at it.

With the pull of the trigger, a "bang" gunshot, the hare was carried far away by the inertia of the bullet, Han's father nodded with satisfaction, raised his chin and asked his son to pick it up.

Next to him, Han Xuan was holding a weed, rolled his eyes and walked over, his father didn't let him shoot, this was the only thing he could do.

When I came to the hare and squatted down, it was a broken prey, and I muttered in my heart that I knew that I would hit the rabbit with a deer bullet, and it would be strange if so many of them were fired together.

Dissatisfied with the rabbit ears and just wanted to go back, suddenly saw an animal corpse lying there under the tree in front of him, Han Xuan stood on tiptoe to see clearly, and hurriedly beckoned to his father.

Han Qianshan thought that there was prey when he saw it, and came to him with a smiling face, and was stunned when he saw the corpse, and turned around to let the others come over.

Anderson looked at them and shook the shotgun in his hand.

“...... Leopard? ”

"Look at this bite mark, I think it's a bear!"

"No, maybe a wild boar."

Gathered in front of this red deer carcass, a few cowboys, you say a word.

The angry old Barton's face darkened, and he said hatefully: "These footprints are bear's?!" , the wolf must have done it, and it's the British Columbia wolf, and the others aren't that big! ”

"The blood on the ground hasn't dried yet, so they're nearby?"

"Well, they have carved their own territory, just look for it here, you can't be wrong."

Old Barton continued: "Be careful, the bullets are loaded, they like to move around the territory, by the way, Jones, see if there is a hunting platform nearby." ”

When Jones heard his words, he took out the guide map of the forest park from his pocket, looked at it for a long time, and then looked up and said, "The nearest one is more than a kilometer, isn't it too far?" ”

"Let's go over there first, not a single red deer has been eaten, it's a small wolf pack, no more than 5." Old Barton smiled, touched his beard, and lowered his head to chase in the direction of the blood-red footprints.

The father and son walked at the back, and Han Qianshan secretly took out the M9 from behind his waist and whispered, "Don't run around this time, use it for your self-defense." ”

"The insurance knows where it is, don't move, hide in your arms if you don't meet the wolf."

Xiao Han Xuan's head nodded like a woodpecker, that excitement......

Soon the sky was bright, and it looked like it was more than ten o'clock, and the figures of hares and birds were also increased.

It was a wood, and the dead grass was trampled in a mess, so Old Barton picked up a handful of hair on the ground, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it: "It's them, I can feel it!" ”

Behind him, Anderson's eyes widened, and his mouth said, "Barton, how do you smell this?" "Look at the color, this dark gray hair, who else can there be but them."

“…… Depend on. ”

"Hey, hey, don't move, I see them!" Martinez said excitedly, the height of 1.9 meters shrunk his head, no matter how he looked, he was obscene.

Old Barton squinted his eyes, saw the figure in the grass forty or fifty meters away, and said: "Go back first, you can see it, those gray wolves must have found us, the grass here is too lush, find a high ground." ”

"Are you sure you want to do this, Barton! I saw it behind me. Anderson whispered.

The old cowboy was stunned when he heard it: "Encirclement? These gray wolves really took us as prey, their guns were raised, and everything they could see was aimed! ”

"Do you want to fight?"

"Count how many there are, and then stand in a circle back to back."

"Son, be careful!" Han Qianshan turned his head and said, the Doji Star was aiming at the gray wolf's head.

There was a British Columbia wolf running to reveal its figure, Han Xuan saw their appearance clearly, took out his pistol and raised it, his eyes were smiling, this is the feeling.

Although the situation is not good, Han Qianshan's shotgun has 7 rounds, and Martinez, like Anderson's, can hold 5 rounds. Old Barton and Jones had pistols on them in addition to shotguns, so they couldn't hit, and they really deserved to be eaten by wolves.

"How? Shooting? Jones asked in a whisper, not as if he was surprised by such a scene, holding his gun firmly in his hand and not blinking his eyes.

"How many are there?"

"I see 2 heads."

"There's one head here."

"Me too"

"Yes, the same."

"I didn't see it!"

Old Barton lowered his head when he heard Han Xuan's voice, and saw that he was also holding a gun, his hand suddenly shook, he looked at the boss and couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his mouth: "There are 6 in total, right, if you can't let them do it first, then kill!" ”

Jones was the first to pull the trigger and hit the opposite gray wolf on the shoulder, and these fierce beasts, which were one meter eight meters long, did not retreat but advanced when they heard the gunshot, and jumped out one after another.

said that it was one after another, but in fact, there were only four of them injured by Jones, and Old Patton used one shot to solve it, and Han's father relied on the speed of the gun, and the two deer hunting bullets smashed the wolf's face into a sieve.

The British Columbia wolf was very fast, and could jump 5 meters in one step, and after solving his own, the two of them quickly turned around and helped their companions.

The Winchester M1894 was too slow to load, and the elder Barton simply threw it away.

It didn't take a second to pull out the revolver and thud two bullets out of the way, hitting the gray wolf in front of Martinez.

Jones himself was killed with a pistol, and Han's father helped Anderson, and the bodies of those big guys jumped in the air, which was simply a live target, and after falling to the ground, they never got up again.

It didn't take 5 seconds in total, and Han Xuan didn't move in this position.

The first two seconds were stunned, the next two seconds were excited, and the last second made up my mind, just about to pull the trigger, the wolf was gone......

Xiao Han Xuan was really crying, and wanted to mend the gun, but he didn't even move his legs when he looked around, and he was all killed on the spot.

At this time, there was movement behind the tree, and Han Xuan's eyes lit up and he raised his gun, only to see a big round head, peeking out from the side, and leaves still hanging on his ears.

"Ahhh Pooh!! ”

The brown bear's eyes widened blankly, and when he saw Han Xuan in front of him, he immediately ran over......
