Hunting Buddy

Rudy gave a quick nod at the question and glancing farther out into the garden, “There’s a big bunch of water buffalo.  I’d say over two dozen of them.  I figured we could try and get one of the younger ones.”   The harsh wintery-spring had probably killed off all but the toughest of their kids. So there probably wouldn’t be an overly easy freebie but that didn’t matter, Rudy was confident he and Ezra could handle a healthy adult if need be.  

Rudy smirked at Aquila’s action, “I’m sure you help a lot.  Reddy,” glancing up towards a tree where his red-tailed hawk watched, “he was super helpful when I was fighting some crazy giant cat this winter.” Reddy had learned a sky bomber style fighting that sometimes actually connected but if nothing else was great to be a useful distraction.  Still, Ezra was right that it would only do so much for an actual hunt.

Rudy went ahead and started jogging in the direction of the prey and nodding to a partial hoof print and the scent of their feces was also about.  They weren’t too far away at all!  Rudy’s tail swished in eager excitement.  He hadn’t hunted water buffalo before so this was gonna be great fun.
