I was bringing a horse in one day during pheasant hunting season. As we walked along this track, my horse suddenly stopped and started snorting at something just ahead of us. It was a large beautiful stag looking straight at us and standing stock still. I then heard a voice just behind me saying, "hold your fire" and turned to see several gunmen. I just stood there refusing to move until the stag turned and ran in the other direction.

It wasn't dear shooting season. They were not permitted to hunt deer but many hunters are opportunists who often break the law providing nobody is watching. Hunters of the western world are people who enjoy killing and people who enjoy killing, deserve all they get if the hunted animal kills them.

I noticed in that article that they've just passed the hunting of stags in Epping forest.
