Seasons in Detail

Open Country

Mary-Ann Ochota reports on deer culling. Critics argue hunting in the name of conservation is inhumane, and a short-term fix, but supporters argue that it's the most sustainable, environmentally-friendly meat you can get. She heads into the field with a professional stalker to see what deer management really involves, from woodland to wild meat.
