Mixed in Australia to be a local tyrant

Chapter 46 The Wedge-Tailed Eagle

Tang Ming and Mike kept walking up the mountain, hitting prey when they encountered them, and not deliberately looking for them if they couldn't find them.

When he was halfway up the mountain, Tang Ming suddenly heard a sound coming from the front and said, "Here we come."

"What?" Mike didn't hear clearly. It wasn't until Big Fatty Erpang appeared in his sight that he understood what Tang Ming meant. He looked at Tang Ming and smiled bitterly: "Boss, didn't you just promise not to bring Are they hunting? Wouldn’t it be cheating to do so now.”

Tang Ming argued: "What kind of cheating, I did say that I would not bring them with me, but I didn't say that they wouldn't come with me. Moreover, I didn't even think about competing for No.1. Naturally, it's not cheating."

Mike protested: "Boss, you didn't want No.1, but I thought, I happen to be interested in a gun and have no money to buy it. Aren't you depriving me of my rights by doing this now?"

Tang Ming said: "Okay, buddy, don't talk about it, isn't it just a gun, I will reward you well when the fattened cattle are ready for slaughter, and you can buy a few guns at that time."

"Okay, Boss, don't forget what you said today." After Mike heard this, he immediately died down, but he still didn't forget to remind Tang Ming.

Tang Ming said, "Don't worry, I'm not such a forgetful person?"

After talking about this topic, Tang Ming said: "Let's go, let's go to the top of the mountain and have a look. I have never been to the top of the mountain before."

With Dapang and Erpang joining, Tang Ming felt a lot safer. He didn't have to worry about encountering any difficult beasts. If there was something abnormal around him, Dapang Erpang would immediately remind him and protect him.

Half an hour later, Tang Ming and Mike came to the top of the mountain. Standing on the highest point of the mountain and looking down, they could see the endless plain on one side and the stretching mountains on the other.

Tang Ming pointed to the other side of the mountain range and asked, "Mike, which ranch does this mountain range belong to?"

Mike thought for a while and said, "It seems that some belong to private ranches, and some belong to the state."

Tang Ming said: "It would be great if we could buy the entire mountain range."

Mike shook his head and said, "It seems to be more difficult. The mountain range belonging to the private sector can be bought as long as the price is right. As for the mountain range belonging to the Australian government, it is not so easy to buy."

Tang Ming smiled and said, "I'm just talking."

After Tang Ming finished speaking, he raised his head to look at the sky, and suddenly saw a small black dot hovering in the sky, and asked, "Mike, is the eagle or the eagle in the sky?"

Mike picked up the binoculars, looked into the sky, and said while watching: "It's a vulture, and it's the largest bird of prey in Australia, called the wedge-tailed vulture."

Tang Ming said: "Wedge-tailed eagle, I know, there is an early warning aircraft called Wedge-tailed in Australia, it must be named after this kind of eagle."

Mike said: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

"Mike, give me the telescope, I want to see it." Tang Ming took the telescope from Mike, looked up to the sky, and soon saw a black-brown feathered wedge-tailed vulture flying non-stop in the sky Hovering, as if looking for prey, the wedge-tailed vulture is quite big, but the color of the feathers is not very good-looking, but because of his love for raptors, Tang Ming still feels that this wedge-tailed vulture is very handsome.

Tang Ming chased and watched the wedge-tailed vulture for a long time, and he was a little moved, and asked, "Mike, what do you think of me raising a wedge-tailed vulture?"

Mike said: "It's not good, boss, I suggest you give up this idea. Wedge-tailed eagles are not goshawks. They are big, not so easy to domesticate, and they are prone to danger, and now it is not wedge-tailed eagles that lay eggs. At that time, it was impossible for adult wedge-tailed vultures to be domesticated."

"You don't have to worry about this. When did the wedge-tailed vulture lay eggs? I'll just adopt a baby vulture at that time." Tang Ming has no worries that cannot be domesticated. As long as there is a pool of water in hand, no animal can escape. the palm of his hand.

Mike had already learned about Tang Ming's stubbornness. He knew that he would know if he didn't tell him, so he said helplessly, "It should start in April and May. I don't know when it will be."

Tang Ming said happily: "In April and May, it's not just more than a month. Mike, let's go, let's go find the old nest of this wedge-tailed vulture, and then come and pick up the young birds and bring them back to raise them."

"Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say." Mike spread his hands and followed Tang Ming to find the wedge-tailed vulture's nest.

They wandered around the mountain for more than an hour, and they killed a few prey, but they couldn't find the nest of the wedge-tailed vulture. Tang Ming was a little disappointed, and Mike said, "Boss, since you want to raise a bird of prey, why don't you buy one, like There are golden eagles, gyrfalcons, and goshawks."

Tang Ming asked: "Really, where can I buy it?"

Mike said: "I only know that there must be some for sale. As for where they are sold, then I don't know."

Tang Ming was discouraged and said, "That's fine."

They had been on the mountain for more than two hours, and it was time to go down the mountain. Tang Ming and Mike picked up the prey and started to walk down the mountain.

When we got back down the mountain, the cowboys had already returned, the ground was full of prey, and they were chatting about who had the most prey.

Qin Hao walked up to Tang Ming, looked at the prey he and Mike had brought back, and asked, "Why are there only a few of them, and they are all small prey like hares, not even a wild boar or deer."

Tang Ming said: "Mike and I just went around the mountain and didn't want to fight with you. Everyone should come back and start counting the prey."

After statistics, two cowboys named Alva and Andy won the first place. They are the second batch of recruited cowboys. They came to the ranch for a short time. Tang Ming is not very familiar with them, but Tang Ming also fulfilled his promise. Promise, let them go to the gun store in Mount Town to pick out a gun.

On the way back, Tang Ming called Alva and Andy to his side, chatted with them for a while, and learned that they were actually retired from the Australian Airborne Special Service Regiment, and they came from special forces. They come to be cowboys because they grew up on ranches and have no other survival skills, so they can only come back to be cowboys.

And being a cowboy also has many advantages, such as high wages, low cost, and food and housing. Even though the work is a bit hard, it’s okay as long as you get used to it.

At noon, Tang Ming and the others had a good celebration. After eating, they dispersed. Qin Hao and Qin Sinuo also left. Tang Ming sent them out of the pasture. After watching their car drive away, he returned villa.

Tang Ming looked at the pile of prey at the door and was worried. How long would it take to eat so many prey, and there were actually a few big boa constrictors. His scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to touch them, let alone eat them.

In desperation, Tang Ming called Mike back. They peeled off the deer, fox, and kangaroo skins, tanned them, and put them outside to dry. If people in the country see him being so wasteful, they will definitely scold him, but this is in Australia, where wild animals are not valuable or tasty. Compared to these wild animals, Tang Ming I prefer to eat beef from pastures.
