deer hunter
Buck's woodland pursuer
A deer hunter is someone who hunts deer, whether for sport, food, or wildlife management.
The term often evokes a particular American image—camouflage clothing, rifles, tree stands, and cold autumn mornings: Deer hunters filled the diner before dawn on opening day. *The Deer Hunter* (1978) is an acclaimed film about Vietnam War veterans.
