trackers are iii the habit of hunting a la greiia, which consists 

 in observing the deer at daybreak, selecting a good stag, and 

 afterwards following his spoor at midday (at which hour deer, 

 while enjoying their siesta, are quite apt to lie close) and 

 shooting as he springs from his lair {al arrancdr). 



A really big stag is nearly always found alone, or should he 

 have a companion, the second will also be an animal of large 

 size. Such stags are never seen with hinds, excepting in the 

 autumn {celo). 



The system of the monteria, or mountain-drive, is described 

 in detail in the following chapter.
