Derg nodded, reaching the cache and nestling the bird amongst the hollow beneath the tree roots.
"Indeed. They are very important for the pack, especially if the majority is elders or youngsters that find it harder to hunt."
He started shifting snow back to cover the clear opening. The cold was best for storage for they didn't rot so quickly. Less work of his behalf and better all around. Better for the pack.
"You make bigger caches as it moves into winter because hunting is harder, less food around and it keeps longer. When the cache starts to rot you have to clean it all out and either eat was is still good or take the rotting food outside pack borders. Attracts fewer scavengers." He remembered back to a time when there was an emptied cache, the corpses litter around the site, and coyotes came in scavenging. He'd managed to slaughter two of the creatures before other members chased and killed the others.
Brutal yet enforced. No pack needed raided caches, emptied or not, without consequences.
That day hurt.
The man inclined his head again and walked off in a different direction, patrol and keep the girl company most likely. Keep teaching her.
