Autumn hunting: Depends what part of the country you're in. On Exmoor foxhounds and Staghounds start the beginning of August.

Foxhounds opening meet (ie:hunting proper) is first weekend in November or the last Saturday in October.

Foxhounds continue until 30th April and a few years back into May.

In an arable country Autumn hunting would usually start mid August providing the corn is in, and opening meets ditto with Exmoor. In an arable area they usually finish hunting mid-March when the farmers are sowing etc.
