Paul Childerley has the stag stalking outing of his life – a dream come true. He is going up the hill in the Highlands of Scotland in the most traditional manner possible. It’s the red rut and the stags are holding hinds in this part of Inverness-shire. Tweeds, two-draw scopes and a garron pony are the order of the day, as well as some of the most spectacular optics available from Zeiss: the new SFL binoculars and the re-engineered V8 scope. It’s a truly magical experience.
