The person whose task it is to trace the stag to its hiding place.

CONT

Domaine(s)

DEF

Chasseur qu'on emploie pour traquer, rabattre le gibier.

CONT

Lors d'une poussée silencieuse, les traqueurs avancent sans bruit excessif, et sans chien. Les animaux sont dérangés mais ne sont pas pourchassés. Ils se présentent devant les fusils postés sans être en fuite, ce qui permet de bien les identifier pour mieux choisir les animaux «récoltés».
