Sporting Scenes in Canada - Deerstalking: the Death Jump, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Sporting Scenes in Canada - Deerstalking: the Death Jump, 1858. The common deer is still very plentiful in many districts of Western Canada...Dressed in a colour to match the trees or the snow, as the case may be, the hunter steals up to his game by a process of stalking from tree to tree, which, to be successfully carried out, requires the greatest vigilance, caution, and, in fact, all the requisites nearly that are conditional to success in any kind of hunting. The rifle is the only weapon for the still-hunter; but with it even a practised shot will sometimes miss his deer, the animal generally presenting a very small mark, owing to being covered to a great extent by the boles and branches of the trees. One great charm in this sport is the intense solitude of the grand old woods, the stillness of which in winter is rarely broken, except by the goblin laugh of the great black woodpecker, or by the cracking of the trees when the frost is intense...The hunter in the Sketch has just sent a bullet through the buck'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Sporting Scenes in Canada - Deerstalking: the Death Jump, 1858," showcases the thrill and solitude of hunting in the Canadian wilderness during the mid-19th century. The scene depicts a hunter in the midst of a successful stalking attempt, poised for the 'death jump' as he prepares to take down a majestic buck. Dressed in camouflage attire, the hunter blends seamlessly into the forest, his stealthy approach a testament to the skill and patience required for still-hunting. The common deer, abundant in many districts of Western Canada during this era, is shown in its natural habitat, surrounded by the grand old woods. The hunter's rifle, the only weapon for this type of hunting, is slung over his shoulder, ready for action. The stillness of the woods is broken only by the occasional goblin laugh of the great black woodpecker or the cracking of trees during extreme frost. The hunter in the sketch has just discharged his rifle, the smoke from the muzzle a testament to the successful shot. The image captures the essence of the sport, with its combination of tranquility, solitude, and the exhilarating moment of triumph. This evocative photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when man and nature were more intimately connected.
