Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The coloring in this picture is exquisite. The stags are so graceful and so gentle it really seems a shame to kill them. They are so very timid that the sportsmen have to be very careful not to frighten the pretty creatures, so they steal up with the softest kind of a tread and it is necessary to be a pretty good shot as it is impossible to get very near this kind of game, as the slightest rustling or noise sends them scampering in all directions. The huntsmen here are most successful and bring down several specimens. The whole view of the hunt is most interesting and instructive.
