Defined narrowly, a game stalker is a sport hunter who approaches close to a timid quarry before making a kill.
Among hunter-gatherers, where their prey is typically timid, stalking is a way of livelihood in order that they may catch what they hunt.
Nowadays, stalking is frequently done for purposes of photography or observation of animal behavior rather than for killing.
In many cases, the animal's sense of smell is highly developed and can detect anything with an unusual scent, therefore the stalker therefore needs to approach from downwind.
Notable for its slight rain-brim to the front and back, with a camouflage checked twill pattern and fold-down earpieces for selective warmth or to raise when listening for deer.
