Aliana searched outside of Kaistleoki, what she sought was food that was of the hoofed variety. Fish was alright but she preferred meat better. She recalled the tales her mother used to tell her about the Pack Hunts she once led; they were an effective way to rally the Pack, drum up morale, and solidify lasting bonds between Packmates. Aliana herself has yet to be in a Pack hunt, and the very thought of one sparked genuine excitement within her. She, proudly, elected herself to stake out some promising Herds in the area, compile a list from least to greatest then she'll present her idea to Ira. A Pack Hunt before snow begins to settle on Teekon would be most beneficial to the pack.

Aliana started her search in Hoshor Plains first, though a bit far from Pack land, a herd resided here. She smelt them on her way to join Kaistleoki but didn't pursue, just made a mental note to come back and properly investigate.

A slightly stale trail of urine and fecal matter coupled with their musky scent led Aliana deep into the plains, traveling northeast until the acrid scent got stronger and fresher. A distance deep-throaty roar made her pause and head sitting up, alert and ears cupped forwards intently. She hesitates for a moment to make sure of what she had undoubtedly heard was true, and after a brief silence, another throaty call was heard. Aliana smirked and crept up the hill, hastily stopping within a patch of tall grass. Slowly, she peeked her head out of the tall grass to notice a splat of brown upon a golden prairie. Bison; a large herd, certainly nothing to scoff at.
The herd looked like it was roaming Eastward, possibly they had a spot they like to rest? Or they circle through the plains in a sort of path? Aliana couldn’t assuredly tell but nevertheless, she was here to inspect this Herd.

A lot of planning went into a Pack Hunt; how many more elderly members there are compared to the younger members in a Herd, if there was any elderly, sick or injured. How wolves will join the Hunt, who will sit back and watch. The risks and benefits; all of those go into consideration when it comes to a Pack Hunt thus she must think of those when scouting these Herds. 
Bison might strike the bottom of the list, a lot of potential risks came with them; they’re mightier and sturdier than a wolf. A panicked herd could easily crush a wolf if not careful. Horns were compact, they can still gore or hurl a wolf senseless enough to remain in their path. But the payout...all the meat they’d gain could be worth it.

Aliana ponders a bit, licking her snout in thought. She needs to make them run; if the herd runs, she’d be able to pick out any possible stragglers. A strangler could be easy pickings.

Well … I won’t be able to examine the herd all the way over here...
Aliana sat up from her hiding spot and stretched her limbs a bit before trotting down the slope towards the Herd. They’ll most likely notice her before she reaches them, she’ll keep her distance, scout them out, see if she could possibly get them to run, and make her decision from there.
