trackers are in the habit of hunting @ la grefia, 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.
