Attr. Robert Byng (fl.1697-1720) Harry Good, Deer Catcher oil on canvas, early 18th century. For centuries the economy of Cranborne Chase, extending over several counties, was based on hunting deer and trading venison. Harry Good led the ‘substantial gentlemen’ who hunted in the evening, and whose dogs drove the deer to become entangled in nets and then strangled. By 1730 the hunting became poaching, leading to ugly incidents between keepers and deer-stealers. Good wears the protective quilted canvas coat and deer cap and carries a quarter-staff pike and small iron bars. He stands in a clearing accompanied by his hound with deer visible in the distance.
