Do hunts not understand the word No

I rang the master after the hounds found their way around our buildings upsetting our stock. It was a week later before I got an apology; it's happened another twice since.

So no, they don't understand no and nor do the hounds.
Well you were lucky....The South Dorset don't even bother apologising. B**tards

just to stir it up abit for you all,
i was recently informed by a hunting friend of mine that the huntsman and whippers in have the right to follow enter to gain back lost hounds and also some of these hunts have the right to hunt on your land dating back years and your banning them actually isn't able to be enforced although they try to avoid places they know people dont want them.

Completely incorrect and totally misinformed. Had you been born before 1995 you might have a better understanding!
 
Only
3 sports, hunting, shooting and fishing.
We Def got;
(i) Fishing rights.
(ii) Shooting rights, (like we dont have the shooting rights over the land we purchased, nor did the previous owner, such rights still being held by the origional estate.)
(iii) Hunting rights? . . . are a new one to me though.

Seriously!? Um, no.
 
Last week a couple of guys were using terriers to get a vixen out of an Oak tree on the next farm. The eventually killed her and took the 6 cubs about a week old with them..I wonder why ?
They left the vixen..or what was left of her where she fell...Sick bunch.

I get blokes in with Jack Russels to do all my fox holes to reduce fox numbers. The dogs kill cubs quickly and only bring dead cubs out. I would have thought the only thing they could do with a fox cub found by dogs is get them stuffed.

In addition to the points raised by @cooksey I have been informed that senior hunt officials have the ancient right of droit de seigneur, so, not only can they enter your fields but also your wife and daughters. :eek:
Good luck to them regarding the wife ....if they manage that I'll be asking them how the hell they did it ....I've been trying for years with no luck [emoji2]

Correct me if I wrong,but OH says years ago the hunt chased a fox once it went to ground the chase was over and the hunt moved on.Now we hear of digging them out,leaving cubs to die or thrown to the hounds.Considering the uproar over farm animal welfare,the fox is an animal pest or not and in my opinion deserves to be killed if it must in a humane and painless way.Yes I accept they kill lambs,chickens and they show no mercy in their actions but the hunt are no better than the fox in their lack of care.One big and final point Hunting with dogs is banned so why the hell are we having to put up with it.Shooting is a quick death .Sorry just found more damn hoof prints this time in a field the wife owns I would not like to be on the other end of the phone tomorrow.
