margun Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Hats off to the BBC- for once they seem to be showing shooting in a fair light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 An interesting programme, why did the Father shoot the stag rather than the boy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delwint Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 I thought all in all, it was portrayed very well. However I feel that I’m waiting for the next episode as it seemed to end prematurely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 just caught the last 5 mins, so I'll watch it on catch up. 8 minutes ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: An interesting programme, why did the Father shoot the stag rather than the boy?

I think the wind was a bit strong , the lad would have enough pressure being his first with out a film crew behind him ..unbiased program , must be a first for the BBC ..

Okay, that makes sense. A very watchable programme. Would be nice to see a follow up and perhaps the Country File Fluffy Farming Show might take notes about how to show off our wonderful countryside!

Sciurus Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Stalking isn’t my sport, but I did enjoy the programme, congratulations to BBC, I agree there should have been an explanation why the father shot the stag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 hello, i got the feeling his son was not quite ready for his first deer shot, it is i would say far more important to get right over a 100 yard target, i would say also he does not seem to have a set view on following dad into this way of life, you have children but you cannot live their life, still only 15 plenty of time to decide ones future.

Grandalf Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I enjoyed it. Difficult to make. Son wasn't ready and his heart wasn't in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats how it's done on true sporting estates, so IMO it was fairly accurate. Achnacarry is a traditional old money sporting estate the ground of which has been in the same family since the late middle ages, it's also one of the largest. The lad will end up following his dad, once the old man gets too old the boy'll step up. His apathy & ambivalence is the norm for someone his age in that position. As to the shot, conditions wouldn't allow them to get close enough for the lad so his old boy took it. Nothing more to it than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
