Der röhrende Hirsch mit mächtigem Geweih beflügelte die Fantasien nicht nur von Adeligen, höheren Töchtern und Romantikern, sondern prangte als Bild an den Wänden so manches deutschen Kleinbürgers. Doch gerade sein Geweih als Symbol des potenten Herrschers machte ihn zugleich zum bemitleidenswerten Objekt der Jagdlust und zur tragischen Figur des Waldes. Wilhelm Bode, selbst einst ein passionierter Jäger aus Familientradition, schildert die wechselvolle Natur- und Kulturgeschichte des Hirsches. Er erzählt nicht nur von der Faszination für Bambi, der Bedeutung des Hirsches für Frida Kahlo und Joseph Beuys und von dem Auf und Ab der Jagdhistorie. Er beschreibt, wie ihn seine Begegnungen mit dem Hirsch allmählich von der Trophäenjagd abbrachten und zum überzeugten Gegner einer rücksichtslosen Jagdpraxis werden ließen, die nicht nach ihren Konsequenzen für den Naturraum fragt. So ist dieser Ausflug durch die heimische Kulturlandschaft nicht zuletzt ein engagiertes Plädoyer, die Jagd auf das stolze Wildtier in eine neue Beziehung des Respekts vor der Natur zu verwandeln.
