Yep, some real differences over here.
I'm out hunting deer for the primary purpose of filling my freezer with high quality game meat that we will eat for the entire upcoming year. It can come from either a "stag", more commonly called a buck in the states, or a doe.
The best meat comes from an animal that has been quickly and humanely killed. That means laying in wait and only taking a high quality shot at an animal. If I don't think I can drop the animal with one shot, then I don't shoot. It also means handling the carcass properly, by getting it gutted and cooled rapidly, then doing a very clean job butchering it.
The stag hunting you describe sounds very unappealing, and I doubt many American hunters would be interested; actually most would be disgusted.
