Chapter 114: To Houston (9/10)(1/2)
In the evening, Abel happily met with Little John and others.
Set off together to meet up with other farmers and specially hired professional hunters.
The rendezvous point is about twenty miles away from Smith's farm.
It is said that the wolf pack was last seen by witnesses there.
Smith Farm, I originally planned to send four people there.
Little John and his son, plus two other cowboys who were better at shooting.
Abel now wants to go together to see the scene. There are more people going to Smith Farm.
It became Little John and his son, plus Abel, and Abel's four personal bodyguards.
A total of seven people, driving three vehicles and carrying an unknown number of weapons, headed to the meeting point.
I also brought four dogs, two Rottweilers and two Irish Wolfhounds.
Rottweilers are guard dogs and are not good at tracking prey.
Irish Wolfhounds are good wolf hunters, but they cannot defeat Mexican wolves one on one.
But two of them can fight a Mexican wolf in a group and drag it until its owner appears.
Well, actually it still can’t defeat the larger Mexican wolf.
Except for a few super-sized individuals, there are no dogs that can actually compete with the Mexican wolf, a subspecies of the North American gray wolf.
The adult male wolf of this subspecies of gray wolf can weigh more than 80 kilograms, and the alpha wolf usually weighs more than 90 kilograms.
Some individuals even have records of 100 kilograms.
The weight of an adult Caucasian male dog is about 70 kilograms.
Tibetan Mastiff is around 65-70 years old.
In the animal kingdom, being big is a dick.
What's more, they still work in groups, are very smart, and know how to work as a team.
Without relying on their owners, it would take more than one to two hundred large hounds to pose a threat to a Mexican wolf pack.
The main reason for taking dogs there is to use their sense of smell and keen hunting intuition to help spot wolves.
The last ones to take action are humans, they only play a supporting role.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, everyone drove off.
Abel's car was driven by Edward. He was a local and knew the road well.
Little John's son John IV is also here, as are two other Rottweilers.
The Rottweiler and Abel were riding in the back car together. The two Rottweilers were old dogs.
They were fed by Abel when they were young, and they remember this owner.
They seemed very excited when they found Abel in the carriage.
"Haha~ Stop licking, stop licking. Danny, stop, no, stop! And Luo Wei, you too!!"
The two dogs were so enthusiastic that Abel eventually had to use Alexander's slogan when he was adjusting them.
Only then did they calm down and lie down on the seats obediently, leaning on him one on the left and the other on the right.
Both dogs are very clean. When Abel was at home, he would give them a bath every two to three days.
Abel and Alexander were both not at home now, so it was Emily who bathed them.
They happened to have all taken a bath today and were sprayed with animal perfume. There was no dog odor.
Holding a Rottweiler with one hand, Abel said casually:
"By the way, Sis. What happened to the old Depp last time?"
Abel still had a clear memory of a minor accident that happened on his way back the last time he came back.
It was left to John IV to deal with it at that time.
He thought about it now, so he asked.
I haven't seen him for a few days, but John IV still has that silly voice.
"After you left, the police came. In the end, I paid Depp $50, and he left happily."
This result was not surprising to Abel.
Due to the strong folk customs, here in Texas.
A small traffic accident like this, or a small conflict.
Police officers in Texas can choose to keep things private as long as they don't go too far.
Because in this place, there are too many red necks at the bottom.
He is poor and has a bad temper. The key is that he is not educated yet.
Sometimes when your brain gets hot, you can take revenge afterwards.
The key is that guns are not banned and it is not illegal to take guns on the streets.
For this reason, compared to other areas, the police in Texas are relatively friendly.
After chatting with John IV for a few more words, we arrived at the hunting rendezvous point.
When they arrived, many people had already arrived.
Twenty or thirty cars, forty or fifty people, dozens of dogs, even two police cars and some Texas police officers.
It's normal for the police to show up.
Otherwise, it would be so late and there would be so many people carrying guns and driving cars.
Those who know, know that they are going to hunt wolves.
People who don’t know, probably think it will be a political change.
With the police accompanying me, the situation would be different.
And we can also do a little supervision and surveillance to prevent these people from shooting and killing indiscriminately.
After waiting for about half an hour, everyone arrived.
There are a total of fifteen farms nearby, gathering 55 cowboys with good marksmanship.
In addition to the five professional hunters invited, as well as the dogs brought by everyone.
In total, it was a mighty journey, driving more than thirty vehicles and setting off under the leadership of professional hounds and hunters.
However, hunting wolves is not that simple, sometimes it also depends on luck.
One night, a few hours.
The Druid Peak wolf pack that was in the news was not found.
Only two other small wolf packs and a few coyotes were found.
These unlucky ones have become scapegoats.
With enough firepower to fight a small offensive, they naturally attacked.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the hunting had to stop.
Because I kept looking and chasing him, I went to the next county.
You are not allowed to go there, unless informed in advance, otherwise it will be regarded as a certain degree of intrusion.
Maybe even take the shot of the policeman next door.
Therefore, the hunting activity came to an end.
Everyone went back to their respective homes, those who had wives went home to hug their wives, and those who didn't have wives went home to hug themselves.
Several people on the Smith farm, including John Jr. and his son, had no harvest. The one who gained the most was Abel.
He alone killed two Mexican wolves and three coyotes.
Is Abel good at marksmanship?
No, it's because he has the ability to make money.
These unlucky guys had their legs broken or their ability to move due to the shooting skills of some sharpshooters and bodyguards.
Then Abel followed the hounds to replenish their guns and captured the prey.
Therefore, it is false to say that he is good at marksmanship, has strong physical strength, and is a super soldier.
No matter how strong you are, can you be like Superman?
No? Then you are not as strong as a capitalist who has the ability to make money!
Even though he is as strong as Superman, he often suffers defeat at the hands of capitalist Bateman.
By the time everyone returned to Smith Farm, it was already dark.
Abel didn't bother his parents, just found something to eat, and went to bed directly after eating.
