The deer hunt needed a different approach than the Bogoart hunts did.
With Bogoarts, the whole problem had been survival.
Figuring out how to fight something that could kill twenty-seven men in an afternoon and still come out ahead.
Using kinda complex plan: the bait plan, the elevated positions, the undead wolf, all of it had been designed around one question: how do you fight something that dangerous without getting yourself killed?
Deer didn't require fighting. They required finding.
Which came with its own problem. Garren had mentioned killing a small deer near the barony's edge a while back, and that was pretty much the extent of what they knew about where the animals actually roamed.
They'd never needed to think about deer territory before because deer hadn't been the priority. Surviving Bogoart encounters had been the priority, and that problem took up so much attention that everything else got pushed aside.
