My husband and I enjoyed the mountain goat chase scene. That first goat was running for its very life and the second goat looked like he wanted to toss the other goat off the mountain. Is there a clip of that somewhere?

The deer was crashed in the car accident, pursued by dogs, the pregnant deer fell from the mountain with serveral heavy crash.
Were these scenes created for the episode?! This is unbelievable tragedy.

The mountain photography was brilliant and the life of the LITTLE PRINCE was sweetly captured.The closeups are really something and I admired them.Canon is the super camera that makes it all possible.Bravo to them!

Finding a dead deer in the melting snow in springtime was reaslitic and should have satisfied those “people that actually spend time in the woods.” Lighten up Pieter. This documentary presented its subject matter very well; no “sugar-coating” that I could see. The good was evenly presented with the not so good. By the way, WGBH’s “following” spans a large segment of the population; from couch potatoes to “people that actually spend time in the woods” and all those in-between.

Another thing. Stop trying to make animals out to be humanistic by calling a single fawn a Prince. I continue to see this done with the animals of every species on television. Murcat Manor comes to mind. There isn’t a fairy kingdom that is perfect for this little fawn and all the animals. The wolf won’t stop from trying to survive by eating it because you think this is some sort of Prince. If you want to honor the animals, then talk about the spirit of the animal and honor that. Speak on terms of reality and spirituality, I think you would have a better following from people that actually spend time in the woods vs those on the couch.

Proper Wildlife Management with the Government and funding with hunting licenses work as a herd management tool to keep numbers in control and meat donated by hunters to local homeless shelters feeds the poor who do not necessarily see any amounts of protein in their diets. Venison is high in vitamins and low in fat. Venison is also organic vs. eating meat that is farm raised and typically has high quantities of steroids, etc… Hunters and hunting has been apart of mans ability to develop over the past ten thousand years. Nothing about Mother Nature is fluffy,pretty, or perfect. Mother Nature will kill you and that little stag if it breaks a leg or makes a mistake with a predator. Spend a week outside without a tent or provision…I bet you don’t make it past the first two days. Death in nature is part of the cycle of life. People forget to soon how tough the natural world is when peering at if from the windows of comfort.
