Umbra's nose wasn't slow to pick up the trace of deer either, but he followed the other -- after all, Tawny there seemed to have a firm idea of where to go already, so why confuse the issue by arguing about who'd go first? And then they reached actual tracks.
"These are kind of fresh," Tawny mumbled, as if to himself, and Umbra couldn't help but agree. And just as the other wolf announced the presence of the deer, he spotted them as well, nodding in response. Now, they just had to figure out how to avoid the bucks and preferably catch one of the fawns. However, he doubted they'd be able to do that. He knew that no wolf would leave pups completely unattended, and he doubted the deer would be any different in that. So they'd have to hope that one of the deer moved away from the others. Before the wind turned. Pressing himself close to the ground, Umbra watched them. He was reluctant to speak out loud, since that would alert their prey to their presence, but fortunately body language served well enough.
It seemed to take forever, but gradually one of the grazing deer strayed farther and farther away from the center of the group, and Umbra's attention was drawn to it.
"That one," he portrayed with body language alone, indicating the female. Now they'd need to get on two sides of it, so one of them could hopefully drive it towards the other.
It was times such as these that Umbra really missed being part of a pack. He knew the theory, even if he hadn't had that much practice, and he knew that while it would be easier with two instead of one, the odds were less than favourable.
I have no idea how to do this XD or how it's done at this RPG. So to make things fair, I even rolled dice as to whether one of the deer would be stupid enough to stray. Then again, maybe they're not used to having that many predators here? =D
