Essential to the stalker's success, one reads in Alexander MacRae's "Handbook of Deer-Stalking" (1880), with an introduction by Ross, is an intimate knowledge of the terrain, a practiced ability to judge distance, exceptional attentiveness in observation, and an unhurried strategy of undetected advancement. Just such qualities seem to have informed Ross's view of the landscape through the spreading branches of a tree.
