Strone estate

On Your Farm

Available for over a year

On the Strone estate in Argyll, Richard Baynes finds out about deer management on an arduous stalk across rugged ground. The owner Tom Turnbull, chairman of the landowners' group responsible for controlling deer, demonstrates the skill and patience needed to hunt Britain’s largest land mammal, and gives his view on woodland recovery and deer-stalking’s future. We also meet his wife Millie, who runs her own enterprise, and talk to John McNaughton, the farmer whose close relationship with Tom is essential to the running of the estate. Produced and presented by Richard Baynes
