The game is dispatched with a dagger sticked into the heart.
Look :

this hunter in the pond with water hip high is going and finishing a young stag with a dagger. One better has intestinal fortitude to play this game. Many get injured. But tradition first.

Sometimes when approach to the game on bay is too tricky a spear can be used mostly for big boars.

In particular circumstances, a short handy 12 gauge is used.

Especially when there are too many passers by who protest. For example when the stag or the boar seeks refuge in the middle of a village or a town and the crowd is not pro hunting. What shouldn't happen is the animal finding refuge in a church. No way to kill it.
Sometimes the game has mercy on for exceptional gallantry.
