hunting reports in H&H

[JenHunt]

I've enjoyed the change in the hunting reports, but agree that more about the hounds would be nice. But... It's never quite the same to read about hounds you don't know, so I can see why they're sticking more to the stories of the people and the riding.

I also really enjoy the thrusters articles and agree with pipsqueek and gonehunting that to get hunts to nominate their own would be more fun!

J, have you not noticed they do pick up on things and then report them, for instance after my black and white days they done it in the H&H and something more recent that doesn't quite come to mind, surely its not coincidence????

If I were the Editor, I would make considerable use of this forum. There are a huge number of highly experienced hunting people, making a contribution up and down the country, almost on a daily basis. Also all our information, opinions and advice especially to the young entry, are provided at no cost to H & H!

Jenhunt has made a splendid suggestion of having Thrusters nominated by their hunt.

Perhaps a 'gentleman or lady of the match' type league table could be started?

Thruster Of The Week as a title, springs to mind. As a result I feel THRUSTER should now be elevated to noun status?

I agree it is never as exciting to read about other people's hounds, however, have you ever noticed that on H&H days everyone appears out hunting, everyone swarms the reporter because everyone wants a mention in the H&H, everyone is an "up and coming" eventer/ptper etc- always makes me giggle when I read the local ones!

When we had H & H out no one was told. That way only the genuine followers were out. When I was told on the day I thought it was a wind up.........still, managed to get me and my boy mentioned and a pic!!

two things... Firstly, I must correct you JM, it wasn't me that suggested it (think it was gonehunting), though I did second a hunt nominated thruster of the week.

Secondly, a forum thread on that selfsame subject would be a great idea, and I for one think we should do it... but who would judge the entrants each week? And what would the criteria be? and do you get extra credit for a photo? OR.... would it just be a place to gently suggest to H&H who they could cover next??
