Do hunts not understand the word No

[Purli R]

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.

Who on earth told you that? The hunt does as its told,end of.Possibly if you are a tenant &the landowner allows hunting you might have to grin&bear it????

 

[Purli R]

Hmm currently fuming.... Had sabs trespassing all over the farm and the hunt merrily galloping through a crop of OSR and into an area of the farm that they knew was out of bounds.

The master had been asked to contact me and is in for a severe bollocking.

Not sure who is worse

£5 says the hunt master is a spineless sod &doesn"t contact you

You've more chance of getting an apology from the Middleton than you have of getting one from Sheffield Sabs....

Did the Police attend?

A very apologetic hunt master rang me last night and came to see me this morning. As far as i'm concerned that matter is now sorted.

Still waiting for an apology from sheffield sabs for trespassing across growing crops!

Yes plod attended. I kept out of the way as i have no interest in hunting (or the politics of it) But have heard things got a bit out of hand.

Hopefully wont come to needing witness statements from landowners.

I suspect the Master & Huntsman has had quite a busy day.

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.

Only if hit properly, lots of foxes are not hit properly and suffer alot from being wounded.

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.

I was led to believe that people didn't hunt when there are cubs with vixens still to prevent this.

I agree with pest control but I totatlly disagree with some of the barbaric bulls**t that some people seem to find acceptable.

Not defending it for a minute, but the poster who's post you quote has a location that would indicate that they are not in the UK. Just sayin!

They cant stop hunting for sabs other wise they would never get going, they wont be beaten by them scum bags.

It's a pity so many hunts must be misbehaving. I have no interest in hunting personally, but I get on fine with the local hunt. They seem to have realised that they have to rely on the goodwill of the farmers to continue hunting (at least one neighbour has banned them, and I know they find it a right pain to cross that land on the bridalways).
The master of the hunt always ensures they go out of their way to help out collecting causality cattle, and it's a lot cheaper than the alternative. Live and let live.

Why would they call it off?

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.

I posted that in relation to when we use dogs there are no live cubs left, as I believe the original poster thought live cubs may have been taken. Foxes are a feral pest here and we kill them any time we can. It all depends on the reason you are hunting foxes. Is it a sport or are you doing it to reduce numbers. If the aim is reducing numbers, doing it when there are cubs is the most efficient as you can get both the parents and all the cubs ar once.

Find it difficult to like your post on the grounds that I am uneasy/undecided on my position on killing cubs but do agree that your correct that it's the most effcient way of reducing population

Out of interest do you have fox hounds over there like we do ? mounted packs ?

 

[Pieces_of_Eight]

Victoria has 13 packs of hounds, not sure about the rest of Australia.

Much more popular in NZ (where there are no foxes).

There are a few, but I don't know much about them. Some people use fox hounds for fox drives to drive foxes towards waiting shooters, but they are pricks of dogs to stop as if a fox escapes or kangaroos come through. The hounds will continue to follow the scent and it can take all day to find them again. Nothing makes foxes run like a baying foxhound though. I have seen foxes run from cover as soon as they hear hounds even though the hound may be 1km away. It must be genetic as most foxes would never have heard or seen a hound before and they just know. I think this shows fox hounds must have been used on foxes for possibly thousands of years.
