hedz fair play ,as long as you enjoy em thats what matter,what ever you hunt, hunting with a terrier in cover or a full pack of fell hounds, its still a sight to behold,some fine hunts were had as kids hunting pit yards and railway banks with a mix bunch of curs,some we borrowed from neighbours

I find them no different from any other hound if there left to hunt and waffle on other quarry so i would say it was how they were entered,we hunt a pack of beagle's and beagle/basset's and a couple are from a hare only and a couple from fox only pack's.i dont hunt fox only no more and hunt anything with them and the draght hound's that were fox and hare only took a while to get on what else we were hunting and did stay true and ignore other scent's for a few week's hedz it was for sure there entering,the ones i talk of were hunted like you said on anything,so never quite took to fox only,bu

been out with em hunting fox and found them hard to keep true,but that might be due to how they were entered.the few the lads had came as adults.they would hunt fox well when on ,but they did go well on hare ect.

well done moll,credit were due they look smart,do they take much preping for the shows, -
Heard it said,Stone doesn,t hold scent aswell,abit similar to pine woods,seems to kill ground scent,but you would think Hounds are using Air scent more in these areas,Maybe wrong,but a Hunt surely is a combination of both Ground & Air scent ? defo a combination of ground and air dixiebop,such as hounds with heads up winding into cover,as for pine woods ect,not sure seen some good hunting in forestry blocks ,when scent as been good,think thats what makes it special its diff every time hounds are loosed,scent is unpredictable ,long may it remain that way
-
whats peoples veiw on scent regarding temp change,for example as a cold morning warms in temp does the scent get poorer,and for the lads up north,is scenting better over scree ect when weather conditions have left the fells wet,so the fox is moveing over damp stones/rock.
