A video has been uploaded to Facebook showing what happens to foolish photographers who find it amusing to harass wildlife.
The video, uploaded by Ice Factor, a sporting facility in Kinlochleven, shows a man pull up beside a young male Red Deer and ask it for directions.
As the man, referred to in the comments below the video by Facebook users as a “clown, fool, idiot” and other words too rude to mention, gets out of his car and gets within inches of the animal to take a photograph.
The stag clearly does not suffer fools and gives the photographer a good hard butt.
The photographer jumps away in fright and complains that the animal has just cost him £1400 in camera equipment.
Social media users had limited sympathy for his plight with one saying: “Well to be honest; for a mountain person who clearly fancies himself as a wildlife photographer, he broke every rule in the book. Very foolish and could very easily have been killed.”
