downsouth 7,856 Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I always attend my local meet, holderness hunt, if it does not interfere with my shooting or ferreting, but what annoys me is the looks i get from the mounted gentry? When they see me there with my lurchers, i wonder if they would turn out for us lurcher lads, if we had a special day in the calendar. I think not.Why do you feel the need to take your lurchers to a hunt meet? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a day out for lots of people where I'm from everyone meets up and takes the dogs for a walk from the meet to the pub I do agree some those mounted folk are up there ass but not all of them there plenty of people who follow the hunt who run lurchers and dig terriers I only bother for the walk to the pub After the meet I didn't even see a horse or a hound but followed the route the supposedly took I think you'll find it's more for public show rather than actually hunting they will be out today for a serious meet where there isn't as many public eyes on them I found them last year the day after hunting properly when I was out ferreting with more hounds and less riders the Boxing Day thing seems to be more riders less hounds 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
