Aquila seemed pleased by Rudyard's compliment and Ezra chuckled, giving the eagle a little shake of his head. Once Rudy took the lead to bring him out to where he had tracked the water buffalo to, Ezra hopped into a lope to follow along beside him, Aquila taking to the air and flying over them as an extra pair of eyes. The signs of the big creatures were easy to find, their foot prints large and easily visible in the mud. He gave Rudyard a grin and nodded, picking up his pace a bit so they could catch up with their prey for their night time hunt. When he spotted them in the distance he started to slow, scanning the herd curiously as he tried to pick out a weak spot. He ducked behind a cluster of bushes to hide behind while he watched them for a bit. Luckily, since it was the dead of night, they seemed to mostly be asleep, most of them laying in the clearing of the garden with just a couple up standing watch. The only problem was that the calves were toward the center of the herd so they'd need to find a way to get them away from he others.
"Okay... Here's what I think we should do," he whispered, "There's some vines and stuff growing over there. I think if we get a bunch of them we can make like a rope that we can use like a trap. We can string it up kinda low between some trees, drive the buffalo through there and the bigger ones can hop over, but the younger ones could get tripped up and then we can grab it." He looked to Rudy with a curious look and a shrug. "What do you think? I'm up for suggestions."
