All of the above noted large game as well as smaller game such as Hare and Fox where all hunted in the same manner. Generally they would be hunted by a method called "par force", or par force de chiens (by strength of hounds) which used dogs to locate and chase the game, while hunters followed both mounted and on foot. The animal was persued until it turned at "bay" (gave up the chase) at which time the hunter could close in for the kill.
Another less common form of hunting as called " bow and stable" and was mostly used in deer hunting. This method used both dogs and mounted hunters to drive game into a waiting line of archers, and is similar to hunting methods that are still used today.
"the animal...which will kill a man or beast most quickly, for a lion or leopard will not kill a man in one blow, as he does, for they can kill only by raking with thier claws or biting, whereas the boar kills with a single stroke, as one might with a knife. He is a fierce beast, proud and perilous, for...I have seen him strike a man and split him from knee to chest, so that he fell dead without a word;...he has often brught me to the ground, horse and man togther, and killed my horse."
Quote from the medieval (15c) french treatise: Livre de Chasse, by Gaston III Count of Foix
