Ash finished tying off a loop of rope and stood to examine his work before covering over the loop with a scattering of the various forest detritus that was laying along the path. After he was sure that the snare was secure and properly camouflaged he picked up his back pack and moved a little further off into the woods. He glanced around as he walked marking the trees, the rocks, anything that could serve as a landmark and kept moving in his current direction until finding a spot seemingly at random and coming to a stop so that he could go to his knees.
Ash glanced around again seeming to make sure that he was alone and then took some supplies out of his backpack. He supposed that there were probably rules against setting traps in the forest but he had his reason. Unfortunately not all those reasons revolved around his hunting and that might prove to be the point that got him into real trouble if anyone found out.
Ash was suspicious. He had been ever since the run in with the hunter girl. He had seen her a few times since their meeting in the forest and made sure to give her a wide berth when he could but he had been watching her ever since and made note of some of her habits. He didn't have any hard evidence of course, at least nothing yet but ever since she had made her grandiose threats Ash had gotten an intuition that something was up. Nothing that he could be for sure on but it had been a sharp intuition nonetheless, as sharp as a bee's ass his grandfather would have said and that meant she bore watching.
It also meant that he should probably make a few preparations like he was doing now. Granted if anything was going to happen it was probably going to happen at camp but if something did happen he wanted to have a place where he had the upper hand and that's what this forest was to him. No one would know it better and if something did happen he would try to insure it was drawn towards his place, the one where he would have the upper hand.
Fortunately if anyone came along he had the good excuse that he was setting game traps, which in a sense he was, but on a whole Ash wasn't very worried about it. He was off the beaten trail in paths that few besides himself even knew about. He had been out here several times over the past weeks and hadn't run into anyone yet and he didn't think that this would change any time soon. He could be wrong of course but for now he thought it was safe to continue setting his snares which was precisely what he was doing as he began to dig a shallow trench and cover it over with leaves.
