The reason Wolfhive had looked to Mudhound was simple, at least to him: a former outsider and the senior citizen of the patrol, he figured if anyone knew about these traps - 'cause the current entourage didn't - it'd be them. Oh well.
"Here's what we're gonna do. Mudhound, focus on disabling whatever traps you can find. Don't care if you use a stick or a fox leg. Once you're done - if you finish before us, dump the traps and corpses down Herondive's Ravine." A stick might be easier than hauling a fox around, though - but a fox could disable multiple at once theoretically.

Willow's Rise wasn't too long of a trek from here, thankfully. Being near the old camp location had that benefit even if the landmark wasn't very practical.
"Help me haul this to the outskirts, we're gonna tear it up there and leave a trail for the vultures to follow."

Wolfhive grabbed hold of one of the foxes and began to drag it; if Sproutfleck helped him, this would go significantly faster and they'd make it to the outskirts in question. Once there, Wolfhive committed war crimes on the body for the sake of bait.
"Grab some, let's set the vultures up." They didn't need to kill them, just get them Out. So Wolfhive worked on setting up the trail until they were at Willow's Rise, and the vultures were in sight.
He threw out a piece of meat and watched them descend upon it in a flurry of wings. They caught sight of the trail laid and began to follow it in a shuffle, snatching the pieces of fox up in the process.
"We'll follow... make sure they leave and find the fox."
He'd do just that, trailing behind the hungry birds until they were off Clan territory and they were feasting upon the dead fox. Great, stay there. Wolfhive would go on to head back to where he'd left Mudhound, wanting this to be over with. He was wholeheartedly done with predators this moon.
