King's deer pursuit
A royal hunt is a formal hunting expedition organized for or by royalty, historically an elaborate affair with large retinues, designated game preserves, and ceremonial elements.
The term evokes medieval and Renaissance aristocratic tradition: The king invited nobles to join the royal hunt.
By extension, it can describe any pursuit conducted with great pomp or involving powerful figures chasing a significant quarry.
