The idea to find the hunters a place to hide was a sound one. Vienna had expected that they just lie low, for the deer in their panic would likely not see them, but that was not a guarantee, and the more they could do to make the hunt go well the better. At Summer's suggestion, Vienna looked over to the ridge. It was well positioned and, better yet, would present a clear target to the chasers. "It's perfect!" She responded, eyes sparkling as she looked at him. She was elated that he was joining in. "We can try to chase them around the left side of it, and see if we can get the weaker ones closer to the ridge so that they will be easier to spot and take down."

It would be a task, forcing the deer to where they wanted to go, but like Ferdie said, they could get pretty close before they actually set the deer to running. Then they could take stock of where they were. They would have to have at least one on the right and one on the left to keep the deer from splitting. Then they could have two behind to spur them on and help if stragglers get away. Once they got them running, though, they would likely keep on a straight route, panic driving their steps, until the danger had passed.

((edit to keep plot moving, taking some liberties here. let me know if any aren't okay!))
"Alright, let's go!" She set off after ensuring that all were with their proper groups. She'd leave the hunters to work out exact strategies amongst themselves. Angling towards the herd, she made certain to lead them downwind. Internally she thought about where eerone would do the most good. She had already somewhat planned this out. "I will take the far side. Fang, you can take this one. Summer, Aleera, you two can get them moving from behind. Don't worry about waiting but a moment. I'll catch up." Her speed would serve her well in making it around in time, and Aleera had the strength and experience to spur the deer to run. Summer would have good backup in her while still being able to do his part, and Fang seemed quick enough to hold his own mirroring her. Pausing briefly to make sure no one had any major issues with their parts, she began to sneak around, careful to keep her path wide. Then with a happy bark she charged in, assuming that the herd would already be moving with a little help from her packmates. Astutely she searched for some sign of a slower, weaker creature to direct towards the other party. Setting her sights on one whose strength already seemed to be flagging, she kept an eye on it and would attempt to keep it to the left.
