'Ello all you Hobbits! What a tragic day, poor ol' Noggie....
I for one am not sold on your tactic my dear Might. picking off the quieter ones is always the easy answer, since they aren't around enough to defend themselves...but looking among the chatty Hobbits, is far more likely to get results. It is way easier for a Wolf to stay hidden by being loud and opinionated than it is to stay quiet and subdued.
