How To Catch A Predator Novels & Stories

I just chill in the back of her mind while I watch her do her thing. She is an exceptional hunter; she was approaching her prey at lightning speed but slowing down the closer she got until she began taking tentative steps as she crouched down, and her eyes locked on their prize. Damn it was huge! Standing near a stream lapping at the water was a moose that had to be at least 6 and a half feet tall at the shoulder and if I had to estimate, weighed around one thousand pounds. I couldn’t believe the luck when I caught its scent on the wind, and the breeze is working to her advantage. She’s currently crouched downwind, so the wind is blowing her scent away from the moose, making it easier to cat

They look fragile, an easy prey. Slowly I pull back, circling the camp a couple of times, waiting for one of the animals to part a bit from it's pack, making it more vulnerable. Finally something happened. One of the prey walked away from the fire and I am just about to attack when a low threatening growl stops me. Furious I snap around, ready to defend myself. Behind me I only hear commotion from the camp. They had ruined my chances of a surprise attack and it makes me even more angry. Not to totally lose my chance I turn after the screams. But a heavy body throws itself at me, pinning me to the ground. I roar and bite after my attacker, not caring to see who it is. I manage to get loose, t

The forest embraced them like an old friend. And then, Ryder spotted his prey. A majestic deer stood gracefully among the trees, unaware of their presence. His pulse quickened as he felt the surge of primal instinct, a connection to his ancestors. With his father and brother watching, Ryder took a deep breath, steadying his nerves. He summoned all his training, his energy focusing on the moment. And then, with a burst of speed and agility, he lunged forward, his hands and fingernails sinking into the deer's neck.

No one is comfortable in a new place with strangers around. I make sure my paws alight on the forest floor gently, finding my footing in the moist underbrush carefully before moving on to the next step. When the buck tilts its head, I freeze, barely even breathing. He wrongly assumes that it’s nothing, that he was just hearing things, the harmless leap of a rabbit, perhaps. He’ll soon learn, too late, that a pack of hungry predators has him surrounded. Settling into the perfect spot, I give the signal. ‘Now.’

Whatever is in there, is capable of doing much more damage than anything that this man’s knife can do. The growl comes again, but this time, it is closer and louder. This is the sound of an apex predator instilling fear in its prey, freezing the prey in its tracks while simultaneously triggering the fight-or-flight response. But make no mistake, there is no fighting this predator. The prey can only run and hope to survive. And we, right now, are that prey. And that is when I see it. A gasp escapes me as the sight steals the breath from my lungs.

"My committee wants more depth on the behavioral shifts of predators. Specifically, how they navigate the deep scattering layer during migration. I’ve read the literature, but…" "You understand how they actually hunt," I finish for him. He snaps his fingers, pointing at me. "Exactly. And you, whenever you talk about the pool, or the ocean documentaries, you describe the water like you're actually in it. So, just talk to me. How does a predator use the currents? How does it know when to move?" He hits a few keys, opening a fresh, blank document next to his draft. His hands hover over the keyboard. He’s looking at the screen, not at me, but I don't

I tried to defend myself again when I was silenced. “Shut up! What defence do you have? Are you calling me a liar? He had you pinned against the ground with your eyes looking defiantly at him, yet he did not kill you. No one, I repeat, no one makes eye contact with a predator and lives to tell the tale.”

I dropped my bag there as I went out to at least hunt for food. I set out into the forest, to catch my own meal. I haven't had anything to eat since morning and I was so famished. As I prowled through the trees, my keen senses picked up the scent of a nearby deer. I crept up on my prey, silent and swift, and soon had it caught in her grasp, after attacking.

I make my way up into the branches to make use of one of Cara's abilities. I let Cara take partial control so she can use her sight to can find a freshwater stream, which there is one not too far away, I then let her change our sight so we can see heat or more like the blood pumping through all animals, to find if there is any prey nearby. I spot a couple of small rabbits, but at the moment I would use more energy trying to catch them than they would give me in return with their blood and meat. I needed something slightly bigger. I continue to search until I finally come across a small deer and the best part was that it was drinking from the freshwater steam.
