I don't know that we necessarily hunt like that in america all that much, strange. Most of the deer hunters i know hunt by sitting in a tree and waiting for a deer to walk by. Same goes for duck hunting.
Stag hunting, as you describe it, sounds pretty fucked up to me, and i don't think it could be introduced in the u.s. without lots of people flipping the fuck out. Americans like shooting shit, we rarely employ packs of dogs for much of anything. I don't know if the outcry would reach vick proportions, but i'm pretty sure it would register more than the continuous buzzing amongst certain folk concerning conventional american hunting methods.
In other words, i don't think that there is much moral difference between british stag hunting and dogfighting, but that americans don't hunt stag like that so it isn't really relevant. Unless you're talking about outrage in the UK against vick, in which case i guess i'm not really in a position to comment.
