In hunting animals, stalking is a method of pursuing prey by moving quietly over terrain, as distinct from baiting, flushing, driving or stand-hunting. See also deer stalking and game stalker.
By extension stalking is a legal term for repeated harassment of a person so as to cause fear in the target, as if they are being hunted.
"Stalking" can also refer to a specific way a sniper pursues and kills his target.
"Stalk" also refers to a part of a plant; the longish piece that supports the seed-carrying parts of a plant, or, more simply, the stem.
In Toltec (Castaneda) learning, stalking is defined as follows: "Stalking is quite simply a type of manipulation that is carried out with the express purpose of getting the other person to do what you want him or her to do but so that you will both benefit from that act. Ordinarily, plain manipulation means forcing another person into doing your bidding for your own self-centred gain, but at the other person's expense. However, stalking means getting the other person to co-operate with you intelligently, so that both of you can benefit, and therefore win." (from This Darned Elusive Happiness by Theun Mares)
