Description
It was a cloudy cold morning in Warrenton, Virginia where I attended my first ever Foxhunt Meet. I stood and watched the huntsman and the hounds arrived at a beautiful and expansive farm in the rolling hills.
I gave my full attention to the huntsman and the hounds. The Huntsman controls the hounds, indicating to them by signals where he wishes them to draw for a fox, and he is responsible for a fox being well hunted when found.
He attempts to be sure that hounds work together as a pack by encouraging the tail hounds and steadying the lead hounds, and in case of a check he must be prepared to assist hounds to recover the line by use of a cast if necessary.
His technical decisions must be quickly made, and staff and Field must abide by them or utter chaos will ensue.
