| Description: | DIANAS OF DEVON - OTTER HUNTING A hunt - an otter is killed and held aloft by a woman in triumph. "There are some cynics in this world who imply that Eve is always hunting - Adam! In this case, however, her quarry is the Otter." A woman poses in front of a car holding a large stick. A large group of women and several dogs (a mix of hound breeds, at least one is an otterhound.) are seen through an archway. The hunt sets off with the women all wearing hats and carrying sticks. Shots of the dogs crossing a river and climbing a small ladder. The women follow, climbing over walls and sliding down hillsides. People look on as an Otter is cornered (we do not see the kill). Shot of a man lifting the dead Otter above her head in a country lane with dogs and men around her. C/U of the dogs. A woman and four men in hunting outfits smoke and laugh. Shot of people walking away from camera down a country lane. | |
