It's awful! People don't go 'foxing' or 'stagging', they go foxhunting or staghunting (as was pointed out I believe by the Duke of Beaufort, who loathed the expression)! We should really refer to it as 'cub hunting' or even better, 'autumn hunting', which probably describes it more accurately.
In Eng/Scot/Wales, the term 'cub hunting' is not as relevant anymore anyway, though I appreciate that many hunts still carry out forms of fox control in line with the exemptions in the Hunting Act, especially before the season begins.
