Sunset Valley But he talks like a gentleman

There is much food for them here... But I did not see any graze-lines, and the snow has not been kicked away anywhere. Kigipigak mused aloud. He was not an ecologist by any measure, but in tracking the herds one took notice of these things. Behaviors which seemed small now appeared absent entirely, which made him wonder.

It will mean they are desperate. Their sickness might make them lose interest in food. That would make them weak and easy to hunt.

He moved in again to work at cleaning the flesh from the body, pulling at parts of it, choosing not to be delicate. This caribou was meant for meat alone.
