FOXES FOXHOUNDS & FOX-HUNTING 



scenting conditions are not so good, and their 

 heads are necessarily nearer to the ground. When 

 a hound puts his nose down and hits off a line, he 

 at once proclaims the fact with his tongue, and 

 at the same time throws up his head as he pushes 

 forward. Thus, the higher lies the scent, the 

 less often has he to get down to it, and the more 

 likely is he to view a moving object in front of him.
