Collective Nouns for Hunting

[Fiagai]

was browsing for something else and came across some interesting collective Nouns that cover the essentials of fox hunting:

A cry of hounds
A mute of hounds
A pack of hounds

A lead of foxes
A leash of foxes
A skulk of foxes

A drove of horses
A harras of horses
A troop of horses

Anyone have other ones or regional vatiations on the above....whats the term a group for foot followers etc? Humour is allowed

 

[Binkle&Flip]

Given the usual dragging down of a subject to pro and anti level how about I get in first with......

A knob of hunt supporters

A murder of sabs

 

[JenHunt]

we're normally a charge of horses, a trail or mob of foot followers, and ocasionally a riot of hounds (but only when the huntsman's not looking! teehee). And I believe it to be a quad of terriermen, owing, one supposes, to their preponderance for raving round the countryside on a quadbike?!

You missed your chance Jen A Dole of antis

Ref 'leash of foxes': this is actually a precise term, not a collective noun. A leash is 3 foxes.

I liked the 'ignorance ', 'dole' and 'confusion' of antis. A 'drab' also seems a good term for them. And a 'sneak' of hunt monitors.

Thanks didn't know that! Now 3 foxes on a leash...that would raise some hackles

 

[Fiagai]

how about a...

An Ignorance of anti's
A Nuisance of trolls

though swapping the Idefinate Article for a Definate Article might suit these collective nouns better...
