· “The Hunt” or Elizabethan hunting was mostly enjoyed by the upper class and nobility. Mostly enjoyed by the nobility because it helped them prepare for war. It helped them because of the tracking and weaponry involved in the hunt. (Alchin, Elizabethan Hunting) · Elizabethan Hunting was divided into two groups: the “At Force Hun” and the “Bow and Stable Hunt” (Alchin, Elizabethan Hunting) · The “At Force” hunts were one of the most dangerous and physically challenging hunts that were especially made for fit young men. (Alchin, Elizabethan Sports) · The choice of prey was usually the wild boar, because it was a very dangerous animal. (Alchin, Elizabethan Hunting) · The “Bow and Stable Hunt” was designed for women and less active men.(Alchin, Elizabethan Hunting) · The “Bow and Stable Hunt” was “played” while on horseback and a bow and arrow as the weapon of choice. (Alchin, Elizabethan Hunting)
