	**[[Hunting]] a white [[boar]] or [[deer]] often leads one to meetings with [[fairy folk]], or strange happenings, and unusually good or bad luck. Seldom does the white animal being hunted actually get caught. (One exception - [[guingamor]] - where the beast is caught only with the help of the fairy maiden). White beasts are often depicted as having a wily cunning - the hunter doesn't realise he is hunting a special animal, he just thinks the beast is more intellegant than the average one. White animals also appear when not hunted, for example a white deer crossing the path signifies that the person's path who is crossed is about to have some experiences tinged with the supernatural. 12th century readers would probably have been very familiar with this device for marking when a story stops being logical to the everyday world and enters a realm where supernatural intervention can make the unusual commonplace and the impossible possible.		**[[Hunting]] a white [[boar]] or [[deer]] often leads one to meetings with [[fairy folk]], or strange happenings, and unusually good or bad luck.

When they track it to a thicket they "led the bloodhound forwards and let it bark. By force they drove the boar from the thicket"

			*pack of other dogs- that aren't setters or bloodhounds. Chase the prey after the bloodhound has found it, in oder to tire it out. A noble might keep several packs, leashed at the start of a hunt, and unleash a fresh pack when the first pack tired from chasing the prey. Known for yelping or barking as they chase, which enables the nobles to follw the chase.
