I wonder what it dies of? Possibly stress/exhaustion? Or it wasn't a fox they took from in front of hounds, but surely the hunt must have known they took one and the sabs were unlikely to substitute a body from a non hunted fox.Foxhunting packs - by and large - are trail hunting. It's a bit different to drag hunting because people who went foxhunting generally preferred the longer days and slower pace. Drag huting was always seen as those who liked a fast point with plenty of jumping and not much time standing around, gossiping with friends and occasionally pulling out the flask. So trails tend to be more circular, over more varied terrain - and the whole day lasts longer. Obviously there CAN be accidents if hounds get a bit too far fom the huntsman and find a trail for themselves. But sometimes these claims of hounds killing foxes are made up!
