Hi All,

I'm completely clueless when it comes to hunting but was hoping someone could help me please!

I have recently moved house to a new area and believe the hunt pass behind my property.
I wanted to contact them to try and find out if they are able to let us know dates as I have animals I would need to keep in.

Am finding it impossible to get through to anyone though.

Would anyone be able to please point me in the right direction of who I would need to speak to?

Thank you in advance

Maybe because its not hunting season?? As I said I'm a bit clueless so forgive my ignorance!

This is the kennels number...01787 222208 (from yell.com) try there. I don't hunt with them any more so am not up to date on who the masters are tbh. I think they still have a flesh round so leave a number and they should call back. You have got until September to get hold of someone!

See if they have any open days - you could always go along and have a face to face chat. Due to the unpredictable nature of hunting I would advise you find out when the are in the general area and not just in the immediate vicinity just in case hounds run in a different direction to what is expected. There will probably be a local contact for your area who will have the duty to inform people so make sure you are on the list. You may be able to get a meet card sent to you for the season depending on whether they are able to plan well in advance.

But surely, when you lay a trail, there is no impredicatability involved?

Depends because not at hunts trail hunt-many flush using a full pack of hounds to a bird of prey, and harrier packs may hunt shot hares with full packs of hounds to put them out of their misery. Equally staghound packs may hunt live quarry for scientific purposes-but only with two hounds. Even with trail hunting a) it is meant to be utterly unpredictable so the man who lays the trail should not communicate with the Huntsman or followers at all so they should have absolutely no idea where it has been laid or where it is going-to accurately mimic real hunting and b) if hounds accidentally get onto live quarry they may cross land which has not been cleared by Masters before they can be stopped.
