foxdropper 17,092 Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Cub hunting in Dorset Saturday. Meet was 6.00 am on a drizzly,windy morning .Hounds moved off on exercise which took them through a patch of maize out the back of kennels .By accident they roused a brace and a half of foxes which were soon on the move .Huntsmen upped the pace of the exercise which took hounds in a similar direction to the last fox out of cover .Hounds played hide and seek with the fox for a while before the fox wanted to play no more and found a dry bury to get in out the rain which was now heavy .Unfortunately ,he had chose a bury in pheasant country which meant he was now legally ours . The bury was a rabbit place and tight .A russel of Chapmans breeding was tried but came out after refusing to dig on .The black bitch was summoned from the box and tried at the same hole .She was heard digging and a hole was sunk to determine how small the pipes were as the huntsmen was wet now and wanted to take hounds to finish their walk .The bitch was seen to be making progress so we waited .3/4 of an hour later and the bitch started baying .This is a bitch that only bays at the mask of a fox so a hole was dug to despatch the fox quickly . The bitch was tracked with a bellman and flint and was found to have dug in an "S" shape roughly 6 yards to get to her fox .This was in chalky loam ,powdery soil . Quote Link to post
