The image of the white stag is taken from Celtic mythology. Similar creatures show up in Arthurian legend. The white stag is something called a Questing Beast. (There are also other kinds of Questing Beasts, the most famous being a totally mythical animal that looks like part serpent and part leopard.)

In myth and legend, the white stag (or sometimes doe) is usually seen at the beginning of the story. The story's heroes decide to follow it, and this leads to adventure in one form or another.

In Celtic mythology the white stag often leads heroes from our world into the realm of faerie. In the Chronicles of Narnia the white stag does the same thing in reverse, it leads the heroes from Narnia back to our world.

In the Chronicles of Narnia no one ever captures the white stag. It's the same in most myths and legends involving such creatures. Their purpose is to lead the heroes someplace, not to be caught.

I kind of doubt it. The white stag wouldn't be so much of a legend if it was easily caught. It was never mentioned after "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."

The white stag was never caught. Read the books.
