Day Three Stalking Rutting Red Stags On The Isle Of Arran, James's First Stag
Part three of my deer stalking trip to the Isle of Arran. This was a quick morning outing, before James had to get back for his ferry. We spotted deer early on and it was my plan to get James on to his first Red stag. James has had multiple opportunities on Red Deer but the moment has never been perfect, this time it was.

Part Two of my deer stalking trip to the Isle of Arran, after the previous morning success, we made a plan for a full day deer stalking on the hill. The morning started off slow but after some radio communication from my dad, who was on the other side of the hill, we had a great long stalk into a great malform Red Stag. This was our most challenging drag of the ground yet, but gave us a great s...

This August Bank Holiday, me and dad took the chance to get back on the Isle of Arran to do some deer stalking. As always, we had a mixed bag of weather conditions.

    When I watch footage like this, I have often thought about come back home to England. Before I left, some thirty plus years ago (I'm in NZ), I hardly heard anything about the deer population! Now these seems to be a plague of them in the UK. Was the land private? I'm 71 and I have just come back from a two-night hunt staying at Spurs Hut on DOC land. I could have shot two reds, but I was after Tahr. When making video's, it's good to know what rifle and calibre you are using. Anyway, well done and thank you for sharing.
