ADVICE ON FOX-HUNTING 



hunting you can travel a bit faster than 

 in regular hunting. In cub-hunting always 

 let the hounds find their own fox, and do 

 not have him halloaed over a ride at first. 

 Do not have him headed back, or held 

 up till he is beat, and then do so for fear 

 of changing. The more foxes you kill cub- 

 hunting after good work for hounds, the 

 steadier and keener your pack will be, but 

 do not go and surround small places and 

 pick up two or three foxes at once. This 

 does not benefit the hounds more than 

 killing one, and in a good country is wanton 

 waste. Always dig your fox cub-hunting 

 if he goes to ground in a practicable place. 

 In regular hunting it is better to go and 

 find another than to keep the field starving
