mike1458 14 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 just a quick quiz just to test your hound skills. Below are 3 calls. Can anyone tell me what they are? I know, but just a friendly quiz to start a bit of a topic. ATB Mike 1.mp3 2.mp3 3.mp3 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I was looking forward to this but all that waiting for files to open seems to much like hard work. Is there an easier way? Quote Link to post
Blooded 62 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 1: Gathering the pack? 2: Calling hounds from a blank covert? 3: Gone away? Quote Link to post

JR Yipp 111 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) pushing hounds to holla, or over track/ride or find drawn cover blank, move on gone away (accompanied by hounds, best sound anywhere) Edited April 29, 2011 by JR Yipp Quote Link to post
mike1458 14 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 The correct answers are 1. Pushing hounds 2. Gone to ground 3. Goneaway. Well done to those who got it right. Mike Quote Link to post
JR Yipp 111 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 where did you get those answers? gone to ground is traditionally 3 long blows. there is no need to give sharp blast for that as in calls to get hounds moving. different huntsman blow different calls for terriermen but generally not the above. normally 1 long 3 short or 3 repation of the call for a whip.

neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I have to agree that those answers are wrong. A long blow on the horn means gone to ground. 3 long blows is sending for the terrierman. 2 short and 1 long blow is the kill. The only one I wasn't 100% about was the last one as our huntsman tends not to blow for home as he always says huntings not finished 'till hounds are loaded. Quote Link to post
