A wonderful lady. Heard lots about her but never met her. Would have loved to ! Terrific series!! Thank you. A British treasure of social history; of a person who truly wasn’t detached from the land. Sadly, unlikely we will see the likes of HB ever again such as the immense changes today in attitudes and understandings of country way of life.

A perhaps controversial comment, but when these two stand in front of the stone displays, erected by the NT, and they comment about the loss of Exmoor's wildness, they do not cosider that they contribute to that loss by the use of a car to get them to the viewpoint. I doubt if they would or could have visited had they not used a car. Today the red deer survive because the people do not kill them to extinction for food. Their support for hunting ignores the truth. In fact the deer would become destroyers of the moor if not kept in check. I do advocate the return to wildness, so I would release the natural deer's predators which I doubt the two people in the film would like. That said, I enjoyed the film. Hope's view of god and nature and the real dangers in wilderness, I tend to agree with but I do not think the force she describes as God has any sentiment, good or bad. The "cruelty" comes from evolution which destroys those not best suited to the present existing environment. Man thinks he can override and control nature. In my opinion his control and destruction will ensure that man becomes at best an endangered species, or at worst extinct. There, I've just given an example of man's woolley thinking; I've used the words, best and worst which requires judgement or assessment which implies planning. Nature doesn't work that way. Will we never learn?

Sorry, i missed something, what is the connection/relationship with hunting and red deer
@exmoortrapper1187 Жыл бұрын
Her connection? She was a great supporter of the stag hounds. Let's not forget that there wouldn't be red deer on Exmoor had the DSSH not reintroduced them in the nineteenth century.

The connection with hunting and the deer is the herd numbers are kept in check, deer in large numbers are very destructive so their numbers need to be managed, this would normally happen if there was a large predator but hunting is also a was of managing herd numbers

I once witnessed a stag hunt in country where there was no red deer they reintroduced one stag in a horse box and tormented it through the countryside and out onto a motorway not pleasant. If you need to cull deer population do it with a rifle. Hound hunting is not a sport.

The use of dogs in hunting should be banned whether it be deer or foxes

you must be from the city where you don.t understand how people in the country live, & manage the country & its animals & wildlife, that has been going on for generations, but what gets me is we have to take notice of do-gooder,s that don,t understand anything, instead we should just get on with things passing no-how from generation to generation & eggnore what other people think, & the do-gooder.s should do the same & get on with their sad live.s & leave other people that know what they are doing to it

Writing this from London (temporary situation), the city does sometimes feel very cold and inhumane. However, scratch the surface and there are still some decent people around.
