Blacktail Deer Plateau PACK HUNT: Prancer was Good Eatin'

I'm so sorry :'( I also changed the title b/c I wasn't happy with the other one. Also, I hope this all makes sense.

In the moments after Koda's call, most of the herd had stirred to their feet, warily eying the gray wolf as he stared back, trying to pick out a target. A lone wolf wasn't enough to send them running, but as his pack mates began to gather one by one the herd became increasingly suspicious. At least the terrain would give the wolves an advantage.

He was satisfied with the turnout. A party of five shouldn't be too hard for him to manage while still being enough to make a kill. He was especially glad to see Finn and Dante among the ranks. Between himself and the other males they had enough muscle to take on a good sized deer. Kesuk's presence was slightly unnerving, he was worried he'd screw up in front of her, or he'd see her get hurt. But he'd seen her in action and he knew she was a capable hunter, and fast too.

The other girl was, in his opinion, too young to join his hunt. Juveniles were usually dead weight that hampered the rest of the pack. But this girl was one of the plateau's princesses and he knew that they liked to use this to get their way, so there was no use wasting time arguing with her. The very pregnant Blue had the good sense not to get involved, though he wondered why she'd bothered to show at all. Moral support, perhaps?

Koda suddenly realized they were all waiting for orders. He hesitated. He'd never led a hunt before, how was he supposed to get this started? Luckily, Dante offered up a solid plan. Koda nodded in agreement, and when the pack split up he followed the two females.

The deer saw the pack go into action and started to move. They stayed together, knowing it was their best chance against the wolves. The pack needed to split them up in order to single out a target. Koda loped past the two girls along the right side of the herd. He could see Dante and Finn through the trees, flanking the herd from the left side. With a growl, Koda would command his squad to cut into the herd, breaking it into two smaller groups. Cut off from the main herd, the deer would panic and scatter, and then it would be easy to see who the weak link was.
