Redtail Rise LIX

another deer had come down in the bloodwood. mountain boulder and new snow had left its body in the forest to visit for meals as they worked on the den.

this day, he brought one of the legs back to the rise, flank to hoof and still fresh albeit stiff with cold.

mountain boulder searched for no one in particular as he paused in the burned place to begin butchering the haunch, intending to spread it between several caches before he went on patrol.
