Oh DEER, don't HOG all the apples

The group that arrived was a small one but it would do, at least for taking down something a bit more substantial. Corvus hadn't expected a lot though, not when their pack was as small as it was. He was just grateful that he'd get to do a little more rigorous hunting, different from the small prey he was accustomed to taking down on his own. Corbie explained they'd be going after one of the injured sows and he nodded understanding. Maggy was given instruction to hang back and get the attention of the pigs by barking and take off after that, rather than hang around and engage. Sounded safe enough, and it was about time his kids start contributing in this way, even if he felt ever-nervous about the prospect of them growing up so much already.

Once it was clear everyone knew their roles, Corbie led them off and Corvus followed, of course tending to keep an eye on Magpie as they went. He hung back while Corbie made to drive the sow away from the rest of her group, waiting until the right opportunity before diving in and nipping at the heels of the injured pig. Before she grew too panicked he aimed to grab hold of her leg, hoping to send her tumbling.
