Hunting Mink with hounds

[jaycey001 0]

Hi all.

 

I have just been reading some old copys of the Field, and found a great article on mink hunting with otter hounds,

 

I dont have any experiance with this type of hunting, (always been in to shooting and working dogs on beats etc)

but Mink hunting looked like good fun, (Only happy when im up to my eye balls in water and mud :-)

 

Does anyone know if its possible to follow a hunt or how easy it is to get involved?

I live in suffolk so if anyone knows of any clubs i could talk to in Suffolk/Norfolk area id be greatfull, only found dead links so far on google.

 

Thanks for any advice or comments in advance

Followed the eastern counties couple of years ago didn't find anything but nota a bad way to waist a bit of time tHey came right through some of my permission which was worth it to see if there was anything holding in the area spoke to the hunt master at euston this year he said he hadn't got any plans on coming up this year as not heard from the land owner i think tHe Suffolk and Essex hunt come upto Thorndon estate every year but not found out when they coming yet though
