Buck Fever

He didn't wait long and the first to arrive was none other then his uncle himself. A smile crossed his lips and his tail wagged in a happy greeting. It gave him a bit of hope in how this would turn out. Even if his uncle would be the only one to show up, Jackson would still be pleased to hunt with his uncle. He was still hoping that he would have a good turn out. He had his sights on the bigger prey he had found, had been trailing.

"Hey Uncle Leo, I have big plans in store as long as we get enough for this hunt," he answered.

Next to appear was a young female that looked familiar to him, perhaps he had seen her around when he was here last. Her coloration was similar to aunt Svetlana's which led the young man to assume that this must be from the last litter of his aunt and uncle. She had grown big since the last he saw her, she was a little ball of fluff then. He couldn't remember her name though, but that only lasted up until she introduced herself.

"Hi there Heather, I'm Jackson Adravendi," he greeted.

Next another young female that also looked familiar, maybe Heather's sister? He wasn't so sure about who she was. Wagging his tail again he watched as she took a seat beside Heather. Next was a face unfamiliar to him, might even be a newer member to the pack. She approached with a simple greeting and took a seat. He smiled and dipped his head in a quiet greeting to her. Diana came next, a face he knew. She was the first he got to meet after returning home to Fiori. He was glad to see her here and smiled at her, wagging his tail still. With each wolf who approached he became more excited for this hunt, even though all of them were young so far he thought they still had a decent chance. Another yellow and tan female approached and he greeted her with a smile and a wag of his tail. Next was another cousin of his who was curious to know what their target was today.

"Well with this sort of turn out it looks like we will defiantly able to take down that lone female elk I have been trailing. It will be a large substantial meal for the pack," he replied with a grin.

Two more showed, one of them being the lead hunter who had recently had pups. This was the best turn out so far and Jackson was really starting to feel the rush of excitement and adrenaline. He stood in his spot and took in a breath, still smiling.

"Hello everyone thank you for coming. I'm happy to say with this many wolves we should easily be able to take down a large female elk that I have been tracking. I'm not sure why she isn't in her herd, but she has been traveling alone this week and so far today she is by herself also." he started, his tail still wagging. "We have quite a few yearlings here today and I ask that the yearlings please stay close to an adult. I think the best plan for her is an ambush so I will be taking two wolves with me to round her up and the rest of you move towards the east in wait for an ambush. Leo if you wouldn't mind I would like you to remain with the ambush group. We don't have too many big bodied wolves and I'd like you to lead the ambush. You may move the others into what position you see fit.," he said looking to his uncle and waiting for his conformation.

"Next I need two fast runners to fallow me, we are going to gather the elk up and rush her towards the ambush," he said before looking around the crowd waiting for two of them to offer their aid in guiding the elk with him.

When two of them decided to offer their aid he got up and motioned them to fallow. His head lowered to the ground as his nose searched for the scent he had been so familiar with. He had to circle and move around for a few moments before he picked it up again and trudged at a quick pace along the trail, tail waving in the air like a banner.
