Meeting the hounds whilst dog walking- likely scenario?

[BWa]

I walk them in the morning and an evening and they are shut in the rest of the time unless they are working. I had left my dog walk as late as possible to avoid them.
I think a good huntsman is the one who decides when to blow for home and the hounds would obey.

I managed to cycle through a held-up hunt recently with my dog, neither mine nor they batted an eyelid, which surprised me!!
