What is deer stalking?

A television documentary film. 

.My father, David Lloyd, was a rifle maker and deer stalker who developed a unique telescopic sight mount that ensured a rifle would stay zeroed in all conditions. He also designed high velocity disintegrating ammunition for Holland & Holland specifically for shooting deer which reduced the possibility of wounding and losing a beast. In 2012 the Shooting Times did a piece on the 12 greatest rifles of all time. The David Lloyd .244 Magnum came in at no 9. The Kalshnikov AK47 came in at no 8. This film explores a day on "The Hill" in Scotland and follows the stalkers. The commentary is based on interviews with the participants and explains what deer stalking involves in graphic detail. It was originally broadcast on Scottish Television in the 1970s.
