His idea made her nod, he was right. It didn't always happen, but there was always a chance to find bucks locked together. She remembered in her travels, long before she first joined Celestial, she had stumbled upon a cleaned carcass of two bucks that had been locked together. Since it was so clean it was hard to tell if they had died of exhaustion from trying to get apart or if it was from being easy kill targets. As he continued she again nodded in agreement. There was also chance or older or injured deer which also made for easier targets.
She knew a pack hunt was needed because there was no telling how this winter would be. If they had a rough winter and didn't hunt there would be possibility of further deaths in the pack. She did not want to be responsible for the death of another in the pack and she feared not being able to get a hunt in. Then Regulus spoke again making her perk up and some relief come to her worrying mind. Why hadn't she thought of that? True it would be winter, but without those horns the buck would be a lot easier to take down. She must have been so focused on the current that the important facts slipped her mind.
She smiled then before dropping her head to take in more scents. This was the trail of a buck, but she hoped it would cross with a doe. Her tail gently wagged at his offer and she grinned at him before tracking on. She fallowed the buck's trail for a few more yards before a hot doe trail intersected it, heading towards their right. She shifted right, the bucks trail doing the same. Moving along the trail her ears perked as the clashing of antlers rang out not far ahead, another buck must of showed up. He wanted to see the herd more closer up so she continued on, moving more quieter.
Soon up ahead she could see the brown pelts of the two buck and her eyes looked around for some cover. She was interested to see if any does were watching the fight. She moved towards the cover of brush and slipping into it looking around. Sure enough there was two or three doe nearby the fight, watching the two males battle it out. She wondered if they should watch the battle for the outcome, maybe the boys would get locked together? Both had vary nice spreads, big enough that they had a better chance for a lock. Looking back to Regulus she grinned, getting excited for a hunt now.
