PACK HUNT: Thanks for Taking the Bait

Hey guys! In the interest of the BWP, this will be the last official posting round for this hunt. I'll summarize their separation of the herd and lead them into the harassing of their mark. If you need to post twice to get in three posts for participation, please feel free to do so. Next round ends July 25th. After that I'll post a final summary and get this thread archived. Sorry for cutting this one a little short!

Hopefully... their issues were all sorted out. He was not going to delay this any longer now that his strategy had been presented, but he hoped like hell no further insubordination would create a ripple that would ruin this for the rest of them. Everyone needed to know their role in this if they were to succeed. He breathed deeply, hoped for the best... and gave the signal to move forward.

He waited for Nanuk to drive her team forward before he nudged Arverk's shoulder and followed up behind them. The herd scattered, the outer circle of males urged their kin towards the forest as planned. Running, not all of the herd could keep up and Iq waited for one of them to prove slower than the rest. There. He barked towards Arverk, signing towards an older female who dragged behind. It wasn't optimal, but there was meat on her bones and something was better than nothing.

He gave the female buffalo chase, driving himself between her run and isolating her from the rest of the herd. Together, with Arverk's help, they redirected her path and began to worry on her, nipping at her flanks, exhausting her, and causing damage where they could.
