Hoshor Plains Bison Hunt 2 [Kaluktuk's Group]

All seemed well. The group split in to their jobs and the first trio began to move in to position, with the extra bodies moving in to place to help keep the herd from assailing them. Kaluktuk moved to be alongside Boone and Bronte, and at first the girl was in the lead but the two men overtook her position as they went ahead and prepared.

Ready! Kaluktuk called out; the boom of his voice carried in such a way that even the children watching might hear him. His voice was thunder, and the herd reacted with shuffling steps and grunts, eyeing the number of wolves. Now!

His bellow loosed the first wave of their hunters towards the herd. He did not notice the lack of one body until then, when he looked around and counted heads, and saw Raelle, Raiyuk, and Kyrell weaving towards the bison; there was Meylodi ready to protect them from one end, and there should have been another body on the other end of the hunter's line. There was not.

The man bristled and made note of this.

To Boone he says, We are down a body. I will go instead. Loud enough for his two partners to hear, be careful! And he was off at a charge for the missing end of their hunting line, snapping his teeth at the bison and snarling at them, so that the three younger hunters could do their work.
