Buffalo Gals Won't Ya Come Out Tonight [Jay]

Jay asked Tarnish if he thought this was doable and he paused for a moment before shrugging. "Only one way to find out, right?" He grinned. He loved a challenge and was always looking for ways to push his skills. While it had gotten him into trouble in a few instances that had never been enough to deter him. Tarnish looked out at the buffalo and pondered what would be the best way to go about doing this. Jay mentioned that she could distract the mother. He nodded. "Yea, I think that's a good idea, I bet you're faster than me for sure." Jay was smaller and built more slimly, not to mention she probably had the better camouflage. Tar's pelt was great for evening hunting but a big black patch was bound to attract some notice if he wasn't very careful.

"I'll creep forward then burst out of the grass and panic the heard. If you can keep the mother away from me I think I can get the calf." With the plan in place he started forward, slinking down into the grasses and moving at a slow and steady pace. He wanted to be sure to get close enough that he wouldn't tire himself out or give the cow and calf to early of a head start. However, he didn't want to get to close before surprising the group in case it increased his likelyhood of getting trampled or gored. It took a moment but once he felt he was in the right spot he shot forward out of the grass, snarling loudly.

The sudden emergence of a predator caused the herd to start panicking. They scattered in a loud stampeded and Tarnish zeroed in on the cow and calf. At first the cow ran along with the herd, the calf keeping up behind but as Tarnish neared his teeth snagged the calf's hind leg. It bleated out as he pulled it back and immediately the cow twisted around, horns aiming right for him.
