WHAT DOES DEERSTALKING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Deer stalking

Deer stalking is a British term for the stealthy pursuit of deer on foot, for sport, numerical control, or food. Deer are usually shot with a high powered rifle, though woodland stalking with bow or crossbow is also popular where this practice is allowed. While the expression "deer stalking" is widely used among British and Irish sportsmen to signify almost all forms of sporting deer shooting, the term is replaced in North American sporting usage by "deer hunting", a term that in Britain and Ireland has historically been reserved exclusively for the sporting pursuit of deer with scent hounds, with unarmed followers typically on horseback. The practice of hunting with hounds, other than using two hounds to flush deer to be shot by waiting marksmen, has been banned in the UK since 2005. Prior to that there were three packs of staghounds hunting wild red deer of both sexes on or around Exmoor, and until 1997, when they were disbanded, the New Forest Buckhounds hunting fallow deer bucks in the New Forest.
