Fieldsports Britain - A Year in the Life of Red Deer, part 1

Sea eagles are taking lambs and red deer calves. It's a normal springtime on the Ardnamurchan peninsula with local deerstalkers and farmers dealing with the idiocy of government policy.

This is part one of our four-part film A Year in the Life of Red Deer, where we follow Niall Rowantree of West Highland Hunting in his work managing red deer and other game on the estate in the West Highlands. The film is kindly supported by riflemaker Blaser and optics company Leica.

What a brilliant and fabulous film. The keeper of the estate is a credit to himself, the estate and the shooting community

Wow, this bloke has forgotten more about deer and deer management than most will ever know. Brilliant episode.
This channel just keeps getting better and better.

Brilliant film one of the best I've ever seen, it really is good to hear and see someone so knowledgeable to  and passionate about one of our great British sports. I am looking forward to the next episode.

Absolutely superb! Knowledge straight from the horses mouth, shame that the numpties will ignore it. Those re-wilders should be forced to fund the crofters losses up front, after all why should we have to suffer for their arrogant and ignorant actions. Too many 'experts' medling with the enviroment.

Great video guys, next level stuff. Looking forward to the next one being released.
