That his memory is still green, and that there are still veteran stag-hunters who can tell many a tale in which the kindly doctor figures, need scarcely be said. He knew every one, and every one knew him and he was on intimate terms with all the red deer,' writes one who remembers him well. Upon one occasion a stag had been chased almost to death, but for some reason was not to be killed. Collyns stayed with him for over two hours tending him in hopes of his recovery.'

Excerpt from Notes on the Chase of the Wild Red Deer in the Counties of Devon and Somerset: With an Appendix Descriptive of Remarkable Runs and Incidents Connected With the Chase From the Year 1780 to the Year 1860
During the forty years that have elapsed since Dr. Collyns completed the work of which a new edition is now put forth, there have been periods when it seemed probable that the hopes of the Chase of the Wild Red Deer being republished might be gratified. Though the present editor joins in the regrets that other sportsmen better equipped than himself for the task have not found themselves able to undertake it, in one case at least the abandonment of the project has proved advantageous. For it was not until it had been abortively suggested that extracts from the diaries of the late Mr. Bisset should be subjoined to a new edition of Dr. Collyns' book, that Mr. John Fortescue set himself to write his admirable volume, Staghunting on Exmoor, which made its appearance in 1887, and brought the chronicles of the famous sport of the West up to the preceding year.
