deer stalking
Tracking wild game
Deer stalking is the practice of hunting deer by tracking them on foot and approaching close enough for a shot, rather than waiting in a stand or driving them toward hunters.
The term is especially associated with Scottish Highland traditions, where stalkers pursue red deer across open moorland.
In British usage, stalking often implies a guided, regulated hunt on private estates.
