Chasing the Deer: The Red Deer through the Seasons

by Neil McIntyre, Simon King (Foreword)

The red deer, majestic monarch of the glen, is Britain’s largest land mammal and undisputed king of woodlands and glens. Common across the Scottish Highlands and resident elsewhere, the animal is emblematic of our wild country and a beloved icon. Yet to some, red deer are seen as little more than pests.

Born into a family of deer stalkers, Neil McIntyre has been fascinated by red deer all his life. They have been central to his career as a wildlife photographer and, in this stunning collection of photographs, he invites you to know and respect them as he does.

This book is full of stunning photography of red deer in all seasons. The author discusses the controversy around culling the herd in favoring the regrowth of forests.
