[color=F8F8FF][h2][b][center] Moosepaw: Hunting Patrol [/center][/b][/h2][/color] [center] Moosepaw crouched low into a hunter's stance and tried his best to quietly approach the nearby bush, his stocky frame making it a bit more difficult. [color=F8F8FF][i] I really hope I'm being quiet enough, we need all the prey we can get. [/i][/color] As he approached the bush where he could smell the mouse hiding he started to feel the snow move beneath his paws. [color=F8F8FF][i] Okay, now I can either wait for the mouse to come out of the bush to go foraging or I can go into this bush and try to make it flee outright and use that opportunity to catch it. It would probably be best to catch it as quickly as I can so we can move on. [/i][/color] Silently weighing his options he decided it would be best to try and scare the mouse out of hiding. With all the grace Moosepaw could muster he approached the bush as quietly as he could. Once close enough he took another sniff with his nose and smelt the mouse more strongly. Taking a moment to compose himself he used his stocky frame to rattle the bush while observing the perimeter of it, seeing the mouse he had smelt earlier come charging out of the it. [color=F8F8FF][i] Now's my chance! [/i][/color] with a bit of a leap he swung his paw at the mouse barely managing to snag it by the tail. Pulling it in he bit into it's neck severing its spine. [color=F8F8FF][i] Thank StarClan for this catch. [/i][/color] Looking back at his mentor Duskwing he asked in an excited voice [color=F8F8FF] "Did I do well? I tried to be as quiet as I could" [/color] [/center]
