How long is an average days hunting?

[dylanforever]

As the title says, I am going for my first time next week an wondering how long it is likely to last?

Starts at 11.00 and ends at dusk, best to think about just going for an hour or so for your first time unless with an experienced friend and on an experienced hunter.

We meet at 11am and finish around 4.00pm.

You can go home anytime you like - I often finish around 2.30, especially if it is likely to be a long hack back to the lorry.

If you do pack up early don't forget to say thank you and 'goodnight' to the field master, so that they know you have gone.

Hope you have a good day!

Our meet is at 11am and they usually round up about 4/5pm - I normally stay until about 2.30 / 3pm as they will often go quite a bit further away at this point and then it becomes a long way to hack back!

Don't stay out too long. Horses will keep going with excitment even when they are tired and that is how injuries happen.

I have a question, how do you remember the way back to the lorry?! surely you would have ridden for miles? or is this a stupid question

the best time to turn away is when you come to a road, from there you can usually work out how to get back to the box, or a foot/car follower will usually be able to tell you. Otherwise, one of the field can tell you if there's no-one else going home at the same time.
