Veteran bulldozed his way out of the snowdrift, snow flying left and right as he scrambled for better footing. Having grown up in the taiga, he was no stranger to moving in snow. He had just let the deer distract him from the best path. He'd learned an important lesson-- you have to watch your own steps just as much as you have to watch the prey, if not more. 

Since he would have to pay so much attention to his own steps, it seemed like it would be necessary to know exactly where the prey was going. That way, he wouldn't have to keep eyes on two things at once. 

"Yeah," he said to Heda. He panted, still trying to catch his breath. "I think we need a new plan, though." The deer was way taller than them, and they were never going to be able to keep up in the deep snow. ..This was hard, damn it! The adults made it look so easy!

"Maybe.. one of us can drive it somewhere, and the other can lay in wait?" He looked toward Heda, uncertain.
