82 THE DIARY OF A HUNTSMAN 



CuB~A young fox, till regular hunting begins in 



November. 

 Cold-hunting — When hounds can scarcely feel a 



scent, and pick it out with difficulty. 

 Cover— Any wood, furze, gorse, rushes, heath, 



or sedge, which will hold a fox. 

 Going to Cover — Is going to the place of 



meeting. 

 Currant Jelly — A term used when hounds are 



running hare. 

 Cheering — When hounds are encouraged by a 



halloo. 

 Down Wind— When hounds are running with the 



wind behind them. 

 Drawing — When hounds are thrown into cover 



to find a fox, they are drawing it. 

 Drag — The scent left by footsteps of the fox on 



his way to his kennel that morning. 

 Drain — Underground, where foxes often run to. 

 Dwelling — When hounds do not get on to the 



huntsman's halloo ; probably feeling a stale 



scent sometimes, till moved by the whipper- 

 in ; also, a slow huntsman is apt to dwell. 

 Drafted — When hounds are put by, not to be 



kept, they are drafted. 

 Earths are drawn — When a vixen fox has 



drawn out fresh earth, it is a proof she intends 



to lay up her cubs there.
