foxbolter 447 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Is the stop end usually in an advantage place for the fox and in a dry place within the earth to keep the fox comfortable so is it good practice to try and put earth back so stop end is accessible to the fox Quote Link to post

Was out hunting this season we didnt finish untill late at night one of the qauds took a lad to get the box for us so a few of us held hounds on a grass bank it was near dark a few hounds kept sneaking on to the road taking a few olders with them We could hear a boy racer coming closer I had a shock at the huntsman jumping on the road and running towards the car to slow him down Is that stupid? Or did that show me what he thought of his hounds? 4 Quote Link to post

Or did that show me what he thought of his hounds? we have all risked our selfs for the sake of hounds on roads , don't make it sound like something its not . I for one have been close too accidents , hitting a lorry when trying too get too hounds . don't try too belittle me as I have a lot of passion for dogs and hounds and will do the up most in terms of saving them ,. all isaid was a few boulders above your mates head could of been done with the machine too batter it back ,...two minute job . you may laugh and that , but that boulder could be helped by a little common sense ,..... all been in digs when the sides could cave in , and instead of standing there watching you could be battering it back ,.poor excuse with A MACHINE STOOD THERE Quote Link to post
Haiddheliwr 1,911 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Huntsman was right, some hounds are kennelled for the majority of their working lives with no actual contact with motor vehicles and certainly a lack of road sense. On many occasions we have had to gesture or ask motorists politely to give way to hounds who are oblivious to the dangers. I have also seen many times drivers who ignore our pleas to slow down and deliberately drive through or at the hounds with no human compassion towards living animals at all, but that is another story of the unfortunate times we are now experiencing in our hunting lives. 2 Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,416 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 You'd be surprised how well that can work. My daughter used to work for a trainer who's yard was 1/4 mile from the gallops and they had to hack that bit on a busy road. They used to ride out near the white line because it made driver slow down. If they kept in drivers would pass them doing 50. A horse spooked one day and my daughter landed on the road 3 feet in front of a squad car. People nowadays don't want to slow down so sometimes have to be persuaded. I remember 4 or 5 cars stopped one time to let hounds and horses across and still a motor cyclist tried to pass the cars even though everyone was waving. He killed 5 hounds. 1 Quote Link to post
