City Boy Goes Deer Stalking In Scotland


'If you burst into tears I'll know you're not feeling up for it'  Niall - head Stalker

A life long supermarket carnivore heads north to stalk red deer on the west coast of Scotland. He wonders if he can survive, if the locals will eat him and if he'll be able to pull the trigger. During the trip London Media-Boy hunts woodcock, takes an unexpected dip in a burn and looks into his own conflicted feelings about killing his dinner.  Plenty of misconceptions,  some guts and gore, and the locals persuade him to read a Burns poem - in an english accent. Cringe.

Worth a look
