When I was a lad, we used to go on deer roundups on some of the local estates (for counting & culling).
The deer would all be corralled, and then small groups allowed into a fenced of wood, with netting.
The catchers jobs was to grab a deer, put a mask over its face (which calms them down), and truss them up to be weighed and measured.
Except it was pretty much full contact British bulldogs, rubgy tackling 20 stone horn-headed stags running at pace.
It was the young bucks with the spiky antlers that you had to watch out for though - one catcher all but lost a kidney.
