1986

National Geographic Magazine October 1986.

I took the photograph below of the exhausted hunted stag swimming in a small pool surrounded by hounds at the Devon and Somerset Staghounds

on August 22nd 1981. I was working undercover at the time posing as a hunt supporter.

The stag was dragged onto the bank by hunt supporters then held for some minutes until a hunter with a pistol reached the scene and shot him.
