Synopsis
Exploring the Devon and Somerset stag hunt through a richly detailed history and its colorful figures.
This nonfiction account gathers the life and work of Dr. Charles Palk Collyns, a 19th-century hunter and physician, along with the story of a regional sport that shaped the moorland landscape. It pairs personal remembered moments with a broader view of the hunt’s development and its place in local culture.
This edition traces the hunt from its early days to a time when stag-hunting was becoming a national tradition. It offers insights into the people, places, and events that kept the chase alive, and it discusses how social changes and enclosure affected wildlife and sport in Exmoor and the surrounding countryside. Readers will encounter vivid field scenes, reflections on hunting ethics, and notes on deer behavior and management that illuminate the sport’s history without spoiling its enduring appeal.- Learn about the author’s life, his role in the hunting world, and the ethical standards he followed.
- See how the Devon and Somerset Hunt evolved, with key figures and landmark moments.
- Get a sense of the landscape, weather, and terrain that shaped long, exciting chases over Exmoor and nearby moors.
