FOXHUNTER 5,020 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Out with Ratcherman yesterday afternoon on his ground. Watched the edge of some woodland where a roe doe with triplets appeared followed by a nice 6 pointer. Ratch dropped him cleanly and was happy as his freezer is now full We then had a quick scout with the lamp and he also accounted for a nice healthy vixen.... Quote Link to post

bullmastiff 610 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I don't know about Charlie, but Reynard is French for fox. Quote Link to post

matt_hooks 188 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Charlie derives from the class squabbling and mockery back in the 18th century. The Whig politician, Charles James Fox, was often portrayed as the prey to the Tory "foxhunting classes". Reynard isn't French for fox, that's renard (no Y). Reynard originated as a character in folklore, probably that of the Alsace-Lorraine, around the 12th century. The best bet for the origin of the name "Reynard" is from the German mans name Reginhardt. So now you know! Quote Link to post
