With their attention consumed by the threat from above, two of the hunters are down - legs laid open to shred tendon and blood vessels, throats reduced to raw, gurgling meat - before they realize there's another wolf inside the shelter with them. Even then, they're hampered by the close quarters, and on the fact that focusing on either the threat above or the one below will leave them vulnerable to the other.
Between the two of them, it's almost pitiful how fast this group of hunters drops, though in the wet, red aftermath, the comm system the hunters have been using to keep in touch squawks concern - the sound of gunshots carries well in the icy twilight.
