Just out of interest, what hounds are they? Can't really make it out from the bus window picture. Harriers? Fox hounds. Don't look like beagles anyway. And about four couple by the looks of things.

 

Country beyond the road looks fairly soft. I'd have thought you'd struggle to keep up if you were hunting harriers or foxhounds on foot in country like that, and, well, if you haven't got at least a sporting chance of getting up front and stopping them, then accidents will happen, won't they? Maybe downsize to something smaller?

Regular beagles should do the job, so long as someone involved is pretty fit and a good runner! I've no interest in getting into the kind of blaming and tribalism back up the thread, and as far as I'm concerned people are entirely free to do things in whatever style they want. Hunt rabbits on foot with a pack of staghounds if that's what floats your boat.

 

But seriously though, personally, if I was hunting on foot (and I mean really hunting cross-country, not just doing that stuff with shotguns and lurchers) in fairly soft, open country, with roads and people in it, I would want to know that if they really go on a traveller in a direction I don't want them to go, someone would have a chance of getting up front and stopping them, especially in this day and age. Of course, on a screaming scent and a straight line beagles could still get away from you, but with foxhounds or harriers it'd be a worry every time you went out, surely...
