    having spoken to a number of keepers,old and very much older, they,ve all said the same, hand feed on straw,keep the vermin down, shoot it ,snare it, trap it,and they,ve also said about foxes recognising smells,in association with prey,and sounds one old fella said he,d not use call duck ,as brought foxes about,sunny spots and shelters for dusting,make it a place good for them and they,ll come back,was one anwser i got,and yes feedblocks feed vermin, so im not bothering,il stick to what iv been told, that works for the elders,it can have changed that much,what do you think?.

    here we go lads, whilst we were out beating last week, the keepers here have thrown down a challenge, meet in the pub at 12.00 and then from there we have 24hrs to produce as many different varietys of game,and the winning team takes the pot and the game, so there we have it, i think it might be a no brainer meeting in the pub, we,ll see, they did this last year at the midland, and the keepers beat us, however we were at the bar most of the day, but we outsang them on the way home,i expect this to take place after boxing day, let you know how we fair this time, happy christmas to all, dd

    how sad, hope he saw the light.

    no i think they have allways been there, but as the universities got bigger the lacs recruited more for a pack lunch and a £10, i do know the cambs had them very bad, allways in the press, and i would have thought the huntsman at the time would have had his work cut out with them, i cant imagine how he coped, after the antis hung off the hound wagon and the young lad went under the wheels, the hounds still meet here pretty local to me, but they dont have any probs that i know of.

    the cambridge with enfield chace as they are known, dont seem to sharp from what ive heard, shame really the cambs have had their share of troubles, years ago i applied to go there, but changed my mind when the antis became very aggresive in their country and a lad died.

    cant beat it, the origainal country existed30 miles by 28, and ran into beds,and some was lent by the whaddon chase and the oakely, the hunt was founded by the marchioness of salisbury at hatfield house from about 1775, they were also kennelled at houghton regis .

    im going back a fair bit, but they were at holwell court up from french horn lane, that in turn became the diary,its all been built on now, i could,nt tell you when they moved from there, i was at hatfield as a young un, and id get the bus or bike to the meets, panshanger park was anothe good place, we gave the antis a run for there money one day in there, they were plagued by them at the time, a nasty orriblle lot, one of the old fellas id go with was brian coleman, and old percy did terriers for them,i dont know if the old uns are still about, but they loved their hunting and i gained some g

    they were probably the first pack i went with, the country was tight and hounds were,nt good with deer, never the less they kept going, they did have some good meets,out tewin and bramfield, nynn park, symmonds hyde, they were close to me at the time and as a lad i could get to the meets, met some good hunting folk at the time, brocket park, knebworth park, at this time jack battersby would have been, kh, and raymond brookes ward hunted them, harry goddard was just before my time, it was all good fun for me at the time, dont know if they caught many foxes, the point to point was held on the ri
