MOOSE!

The plan is a simple one and really the same one Kichi would have come up with.  Simple did not mean ineffective.  She was going to take it near the river so Kichi would be on the other side.  She waited for his acknowledgment so Kichi agreed.  His eyes watched the young moose as it seemed more intent on grass than any threats looming around.  Young prey could be terrifically naïve, at least the ones who never made it to adulthood could be.

The stranger gave a nod and the hunt was on.  Kichi charged over to his side, keeping the moose running straight between them.  Kichi keeps up with the two, staying near its front shoulder.  Snapping his teeth at the leg the moose leaps in the air from pain, back hooves kicking out which does it little good.  Unfortunately, the bite wasn’t deep enough to do more than a little blood and startle it.  Its fear was likely more potent than the pain of the bite.  Regardless, the moose was still between them and doomed at the current layout.
