Do you remember the episode of Autumn watch when they had a deer expert on and he went on to talk about culling, they cut him off really quickly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you remember the episode of Autumn watch when they had a deer expert on and he went on to talk about culling, they cut him off really quickly. I remember seeing David Attenborough on the one show and they done a piece on deer hunting with dogs. Chiles then put on his serious face and tried to get Attenborough to condone it. Old Attenborough sat back, crossed his arms and legs and said 'Well, they've got to be culled somehow because we've removed all the large predators. The problem here is the people who own the land think they own all the wildlife on it as well..' Chiles got a bit red in the face and moved quickly on to the TV chef who was sat next to him. 'But surely the meat is spoiled once its been caught by a dog, its of no use to anyone?' The chef said something about the meat coming already tenderised, him and Attenborough laughed and Chiles quickly changed the subject all together! I've looked for that clip on YouTube ever since I saw it to put it up here but I've never been able to find it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keepdiggin 9,561 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 They'll bring the wolf back to control the red deer rather then letting hunters control their numbers. I'd of thought there was more then 50,000 urban foxes in the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh it's nuts, and I bet once the wolves realise there's much easier prey to be had like livestock and eating out of bins they'll probably not hunt the deer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RubyTex 1,957 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm sat watching Winterwatch now. They do talk some shite but I like watching it for the wildlife and the Cairngorms look fantastic. Definitely a place i'd like to visit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
