Red stags in the rut, fighting other stags, defending their hinds, and hunted by stalkers: the cycle of life and death continues in the Scottish Highlands. Beautiful camerawork brings you the latest in our series, A Year in the Life of Red Deer. Niall Rowantree of West Highland Hunting takes a guest out on to the hill to stalk a red stag – and we put a camera on another stag to see what it’s like to be in the centre of the rut.
