This photograph captures the essence of a traditional red deer hunt in the picturesque Vale of Porlock on Exmoor, Somerset, dating back to the year 1922. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich hunting heritage of this beautiful region. The red deer, a majestic and iconic species native to the UK, can be seen in the foreground, their coats glistening in the autumn sunlight. The deer's alert and cautious demeanor is a testament to their instincts, as they sense the approaching hunters. In the background, a group of hunters, dressed in their distinctive red coats and tall hats, can be seen making their way through the woodland, their horses following closely behind. The hunters' determined expressions and focused gaze convey their intense concentration and excitement as they prepare to take on the challenge of the hunt. The Vale of Porlock, located on the eastern side of Exmoor, has long been renowned for its red deer population and the thrilling hunts that take place there. The rugged terrain and dense woodlands of Exmoor provide the perfect habitat for these magnificent creatures, making it an ideal location for hunting enthusiasts. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the strong bond between man and nature that exists in the heart of the English countryside. It also serves as a testament to the enduring tradition of red deer hunting on Exmoor, which continues to this day. The image is a beautiful representation of the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the timeless allure of the great outdoors.
