Are hunt and followers exempt from all laws?

Your old school, which the old master was. The Wynnstay seem to have lost most of the experienced men in one go .

That's who took the pee here too.

Just had a text from the area man, saying very sorry, hounds were heading for the main road and he will come and rake the hoof prints tomorrow and apologise properly. not sure if that’d happen if I hadn’t complained.
will give me chance to discuss the other issues.

They never showed up here to apologise despite saying they would.

You have my sympathy. They went straight through my sheep the other day. Particularly annoying as I’d given them free rein (see what I did there?) to go over the whole of the rest of the farm, just not where the ewes are. We work hard to keep the place tidy especially in this crappy weather and it’s vexing when your fences get pulled down by a pack of dogs - I make a point of calling them dogs now as i know it irritates the mounted estate agents - and tw*ts on quads who think they can tear about anywhere they like. Much as I like tradition and I was very much against the ban, as of recently I really don’t think I want them around anymore.

That’s the dichotomy. I’m a shooting man and don’t want to see it banned , but when they push it to the limit, they will only have themselves to blame.

@silverfox , I hope they do actually turn up to apologise and tidy up their mess, you can then give them both barrels on their poor behaviour.

I don't think it has quite sunk in with many hunts that when they behave as they have done to silverfox they alienate so many people that would normally be their supporters, or were at the worst, ambivalent about them.
We, as thoroughly cheesed off land owners (especially if this happens a couple of years in a row) then remove access privileges, and the hunts over time wither and fold.
Its often not what they are doing, its how they go about it!

Ban them, end off.
I'm not anti, but I won't put up with them.

Haven’t done themselves any favours today . I used to have an understanding with the previous master. Don’t come when we have the sheep here and all the electric fencing, and keep to the edge of fields.
New young bucks seem to have a rush of blood today . First of all I found the terrier man had disabled my electric fence battery , then they’ve cut across a wheat field and finally they came back in full cry, straight into the sheep fence, despite assuring me they’d give me a wide berth.
The fence the hounds piled into was on the mains. Lots of expletives from the ‘ gents ‘ on horseback
I’ve tried to be accommodating , but I think they will be getting told to keep off altogether now.View attachment 927590

they would never come here again! like i told the mfh years ago we are not a tenant on an estate you know!
