Tiff Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I thought it was quite good really. Showing how a rifle can be used to 'harvest' the meat in a clean and humane way; as an alternative to a slaughter house. The reindeer didn't seem to mind either....I certainly wouldn't come to call like they did if I'd seen a friend get shot! An amazing relationship between the owner and his herd.

devilishdave Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I take your point but I think this sort of thing taints what the average person thinks stalking is about. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not agree more. Anyone who thinks that this was stalking is a complete idiot. They made no attempt to imply that this was hunting, he was simply harvesting meat. In my opinion the people of Lapland had a great respect for the animals, you could clearly see that the guy really cared for them. He didn't like to take them to a commercial abbatoir and felt taking individuals with a rifle was far less stressful. They were in great condition and every bit of the carcass was used, thumbs up from me. ATB Moses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicky Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I don't think you can call that stalking...But what a stress free process for the Reindeer & I don't think his mates liked him much...did they organise the hit!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancslad Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Was watching it with horror at first..........thought he was going to take the shot with the other rudolphs behind. Still............at least he managed to drop it with one shot this time.......................... And, for a change, the tv actualy showed the shot being taken and the effect. There was no doubt that it was a nice clean shot.........ok, not challenging, but Im not 100% on what gordons shooting experience is. However, its great to see "game" on the telly............................... Now, IM off to stuff my xmas goose.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicky Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 for a minute I thought he was going to back out of the shot...then his tummy rumbled and took over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
