I bet you're popular with the neighbours, are the landowners happy for you to run your pack on their land SS? Wouldn't have a chance to do that where I am, if it wasn't the farmers playing f**k it would be the 3 mounted packs that cover my area!

8 dogs is all we run.mostly beagles or beagle crosses but ive a fox hound and harrier which have the other dogs marking.its a good crack.especially when a fox gets away from the lurcher lads.were fox only aswell.a lot of the farmers want it that way.some of em when they see the lurchers think hares straight away and there dead against it.just the way it is round here

Sounds good fun! Do you run many to ground, and if so how often?

Going back to what you said about the whiskey etc, I hadn't been to a certain farm for nearly 10 years and I used to drop a bottle of whiskey at this place every Christmas, lads I'd taken there in the past had been f****d off from there for being idiots and a pheasant shoot was now on there. When I turned up after all them years he said go on no problem a big handshake and a smile and mentioned the lads and the shoot, and the shoot were paying him £1500 a year, a bottle of whiskey and some quality street go a long way.

We put alot to ground over a season.keeps the terriers busy.hounds do push them hard for a small pack but been totaly honest some foxes slip to ground because a lurcher has taken a few turns out of him and hes under severe preassure.but look theyl find him and mark where ever hes gone.theyl mark cold aswell so thats a bonus

Nice little pack there foxpack.its good to be back.we got no kill yesterday but we got plenty of hunting.some very bad missess by the lurcher lads.but to be honest it was one of the funniest days ive ever had in the field.one of them type of days.one lad got 2 races tru the day that he fcuked up.he was watching a fox break on a far ditch and never saw another fox coming up his side lol 25 yards away..another one he moved from one gate to the next cos he thought it was a better spot only for the fox to bust out tru the first place.he wont forget sunday in a hurry.

Haaaa , one of my lads moves all time , he’s had a few go over ha foot prints after he moved . Lol . One lad had his head against a telegraph pole cause he was ill with drink . Fox went right behind him without even knowing lol. Funny days
