I didn't put this in Hunting as there seems to be more people in here

I've always been on the fence regards hunting and if, what they say is true, and people are hunting legally then I'd like to give it a go for the riding experience.......
 
go and give a try, it is great fun ( although not done it for many years).

It is perfectly legall to hunt a fox with with hounds, but only two are alowed in at the end (I think this is the case, as I have 3 dogs, and was told if all 3 were to chase a hare or indeed a fox while on a normal walk, even that wold be illegal !!!!)
 
thanks!

I personally don't agree in killing a fox with hounds though - I'll always believe shooting is more humane (but that's another debate entirely) so i'm wondering whether I should just go drag hunting where the scent is already laid?
 
I far as I have seen once the hounds have got the fox they shoot it, so is very quick, but most unlikely you would even see it.

I would not like to see the anit video end of the hunt either, but I have never seen that, so do not quite know where they get that fotage ( not to say it never happens).

Shooting from a distence is defferent, you cannot gaurantee that you will get the poor old red coat first time, and even though it happens here on my land I hate the idea of cubbing!!!!!!
 
two hounds are allowed to flush the fox out to a marksman to be shot...
hunts now lay a scent which is then followed by the hounds and field which is the same as drag hunting...
i've hunted on and off all my life and even in past years when it was legal to hunt with hounds i have to say i never saw a kill and by time the field catches up the hounds have moved on
we used to have loads and loads of foxs around our yard and villages but now the ban is in effect we hardly see a fox as farmers and land owners are shooting and laying poision which is 100% in killing them were as many a canny fox walks pass a pack of hounds
 
Don't agree in poisoning any animal though, never have......I always have and always will think that shooting is the only way to cull foxes! Each to his own though I guess.

thanks guys for the info.
