BBC World News - The Deer Stalker

Stalking for red deer in the Scottish Highlands is still a way of life for some.

Deep in the Scottish Highlands an ancient tradition, stalking for red deer, is still a way of life. Through the seasons we follow Alex MacDonald, a fourth-generation stalker.

For forty years, Alex MacDonald has stalked the hills and glens above Fort William, as did his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather before him. Now he wants to hand his expertise onto a fifth generation – his 15-year old son.

In this intimate portrait of a unique way of life, we follow Alex through the ferocity of one of Scotland’s worst winters to the high heat of summer, as he manages the 3,000 red deer that populate the Achnacarry estate.
