The Cloutsham Stag Hunt

An unique series, depicting the following scenes :
GOING TO CLOUTSHAM MEET: OVER DUNKERRY BEACON WITH THE STAGHOUNDS-PASSING THROUGH DUNSTER. Depicting the huntsmen and hounds starting for their day's sport.
GOING TO CLOUTSHAM MEET: HUNTSMEN CROSSING THE MOOR.
STAGHOUNDS AND HUNTSMEN PASSING THROUGH DUNSTER ON THE WAY TO CLOUTSHAM MEET.
The well-known Dunker Market Place is seen in the background as they pass up the High Street of the quaint little Somerset village.
UNKENNELING THE PACK-AND AWAY !
HUNTING THE STAG OVER THE MOOR-ON THE TRAIL!
A HUNTED STAG IN THE RIVER EXE—" AT BAY ! "
The operator, to take this scene, was mounted on horseback, carrying his instrument ; and finding the stag took to water, and was heading down stream for the sea, set the camera up at various points on the bank, getting a splendid view of the stag working down, with the hounds close up. Then follows the kill, drawing stag from the water, and feeding the hounds. This series has more than ordinary interest, getting right away from the usual groove. It depicts scenes that come quite fresh to most spectators, and shows what enthusiasm these sporting meets engender.
The Showman, London, Dec. 6, 1901, p. 9.
