Vivek, Bagre, & Eventine

The three made it into the area and began to sniff about for any prey. Vivek held them back at first, "Wait for your mother and sister."

Aava & Esprit

Aava and Esprit quietly krept past the trees and bushes to meet up with the others. "Shall we begin?" Aava asked with a small smirk while sniffing the air. Esprit started to sniff and patrol right away.

*Prey*

On the air, there came the scent of some large rodent... this creature was about a hundred yards away, but you'd need a closer look to tell just what it might be...

Another scent lingered in the air as well, stronger and more defined than the first. It was the scent of white-tailed deer. Follow this for a mile, and it will lead to a doe and her two fawns grazing at the edge of a meadow. The fawns are about half the size of an adult by now.

Aava & Esprit

"Which one should we go for? I think the white-tailed deer may be good, since there are more. The rodent might be... Dangerous." Aava said to Vivek. Two fawns would be easy to take down despite their size. An idea popped into Aava's head as she waited for her mate's answer, "Perhaps the pups can go for the two fawns and we can go for the bigger one."

Esprit caught the scent. Her nose furiously breathed in and out as she wanted to track and hunt these animals.

Vivek, Bagre, & Eventine

Vivek nodded, sniffing intently at the breeze, "You're right, I think the deer would be best to go for. I wish I could tell what that one scent is; but oh well, the deer will provide more meat." He pointed out, trying to ease his own curiousity. The alpha began to stalk through the woods now, coming up downwind of the deer. He circled slightly to the left of the them and waited for the others.

Bagre and Eventine now cooperated with each other as Bagre traveled in front of his sister. They got as close as they dared and then stopped, trying to see the two fawns they were going to go after. Both could hardly contain their excitement!

Aava & Esprit

Aava nodded quickly and then quietly followed after Vivek, making sure her head and body positions were low. When Vivek circled slightly to the left, Aava veered slightly to the right, all the while keeping her eyes fixed on the deer. She waited and watched.

Esprit followed after her siblings, wanting to spring right up and kill one of the fawns. She knew this job could be harder than it looked, but her excitement kept her from worrying. She followed after Bagre and Eventine and stopped when they stopped. She couldn't wait! The first hunt was always something to look up to.

*Deer*

The doe looked up for a moment, thinking she herd something. Her large ears were splayed out and she licked her black nose to better take in scents. One fawn caught her mother's alertness and looked around as well, but the other ignored them and still grazed.

Sensing no trouble, the doe warily bent her slender neck down to graze once more. So did the fawn.
