Turkey In The Straw [Caelestis]

Brandr sat patiently as Caelestis analyzed the scents coming off the feather. When she'd untangled the scents she took off following the scent trail and Brandr swiftly rose to his feet to pad along silently behind her. They wove a jagged trail, a few times she got distracted and he smiled silently to himself, remember how easily he strayed from a scent trail when he was first learning to hunt.

Brandr nodded encouragement to the girl as she followed an older trail and had to backtrack. Soon the sounds of turkey's could be heard in the distance and Brandr quickly crouched. He moved stealthily next to his charge, keeping himself as low as possible. Thankfully the tall spring grass of the plains offered some shelter for a large wolf on the prowl. Caelestis glanced to him and Brandr pondered their next move. Daring to speak to her in a low whisper he said. "You wait here, I'm going to circle around between the flock and the trees to cut them off. Turkeys can fly but not to far. When I charge from the back you attack from the front. Let's go for the male turkey, it's the big one with the blueish head. Try to get it by the neck." Brandr planned to try to get the neck as well. It would take a team effort and he couldn't quite be sure what the turkey's would do. He was familiar with hunting deer and big game but this was another matter entirely.

With a nod and a smile he slipped off through the grass. It was a labor of patience as he froze several times, fearful that one of the hens had spied him. The sun was starting to set now and Brandr knew he needed to move quickly. With pointed precision and a lot of luck he managed to get between the flock and the trees. His hindlegs bunched beneath him before he sprang forward toward the flock, sending them scattering and gobbling as he dived toward the tom turkey.
