You see a herd of deer running into water, as if someone is driving them. A team of stalkers is waiting for them. The shot looks dodgy – there is a house visible in the background. After the shot, the stag takes a full minute to die, floundering around in the water. The video causes a social media storm, and even makes it into a newspaper.
But is that what really happened? We talk to the stalker concerned, Fraser Macdonald, and one of the film’s main detractors, Andy Richardson. We uncover the role of the British Deer Society. And we get a verdict on the film from firearms expert Andrew Venables.
