Deer Me

Corbie explained what she thought the best tactic would be, and Jay listened attentively. She thought they'd be able to bring down the older doe without a big chase. Catching her by surprise would definitely aid in that, and the fact that there were only two of them on this hunt made it even more likely that they'd be able to conceal their presence until the last possible moment. Jay nodded, signalling her complete understanding. She was hardly what one would consider a quiet wolf, but when it came to things like this that required focus she had a way of going silent and focusing on the objective ahead of her.

They moved slowly, almost painstakingly slowly through the field. She slowed even further once Corbie signaled her to. Jay was hyper aware of each muscle in her limbs as she crouched low, feeling them straining from the precise, slow movements as she crept forward. Only once did she fear she'd moved too quickly, but she paused with bated breath and resumed her movements once she realized the bedded deer had not heard them. Of course it wasn't long before they made their presence known, just a moment before they'd been about to strike.

Jay reacted accordingly, kicking off hard toward the doe with long strides. Corbie leapt over the doe and Jay was quick to follow, making a decision to work from the opposite side. Finding one of the doe's legs, Jay bit down hard once she was able, fighting hard against the scrambling doe as she tried to flee. The bite was enough to disable her, her front end beginning to buckle and fall back toward the ground.
