The Philpott File on The Sporting Life: 1: The Hunter

on BBC Two England

The latest series of film reports by Trevor Philpott

Even in these days of frozen foods and factory farming, somewhere inside every man beats the heart of the hunter. Men still crave to get out into the wilds with a gun to kill something. From the big-game lands of Alaska to the grouse moors of Scotland, hunting is a growing industry.
This File looks at the hunters and hunting in Britain, Europe and America - what they hunt, how they hunt and above all... why.
