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

Jay nodded along eagerly, quickly falling into position as they set off toward the herd. Tarnish agreed she'd be best trying to distract the mother while he took down the calf. Every hunt was different though, of course, so she'd keep in mind that their plan might have to change on a whim. The yearling loved that aspect of hunting, that things could change at any given moment and that she'd have to be reactive and creative in response to things veering off course. That only added to the challenge of every hunt, in a rewarding sort of way.

As Tarnish lunged forward, the herd immediately spooked and began to scatter. Jay directed herself toward the herd as well, shooting forward quickly toward the mother. Some of the herd begin to scatter in different directions, but the calf seemed inclined to stay with the majority, the mother not far off. Her focus was on protecting her calf, just as they had expected. Jay stayed close on her heels, snapping periodically at her when she could. It was enough to temporarily distract her, hopefully allowing Tarnish time to focus on talking down the calf.
