Stjarna eyed the sapling, eyes narrowing sharply at the scratches and shredded bark of the tree. Star had been hunting long enough to know that it was evidence of a deer rub and there were several worn areas throughout the forest that looked to be deer trails as well as areas that may have been used for bedding. There were definitely deer here, now all Star had to do was find them. The black and white wolf set nose to tracking and started scouring the land for any scent of prey. Soon they found fresh deer droppings and followed the deer trail to the edge of a small clearing where a group of four deer were grazing. One of them appeared injured, a young buck. Oh! That's right, it was basically autumn. This was the time of the rut for deer. They were more likely to be distracted as the season wore on making for good hunting.
