Re: Why do farmers seem to like foxhounds?

I'm a rancher and I keep a couple hounds. Perhaps it is because all of the ones that I have had were big game bred, but I have found hounds to be much more versatile than most people believe. They don't harass my cattle and the cows seem to understand that. I've seen hounds chase a coon through a ...

Why do farmers seem to like foxhounds?

Over the years, several sources have suggested that farmers have a liking for American foxhounds or used to.

What good does the foxhound breed do a farmer that another breed doesn't? After all, they don't herd livestock and they aren't guard dogs against human intruders. I think of a collie, cur or ...

How about "stand fox hunting" vs "traditional fox hunting"?

Re: What kind of fox hunting is this?

The vocab and way in which you speak turn me off to helping you at all. You sound like a man or woman who has no background in hunting, from the beginning calling people snobs, women antis, the ripping apart of animals, whongets to keep the carcass, etc. I still believe you are a troll. And urge ...

To be honest, I've never hunted fox before. Nobody has ever shown me how. I find knowledge of it fascinating. What is "anti" about the questions asked in my OP?

Edit. What I'm trying to solve I'm my head is treeing hounds generally comparing to running ones.

I never knew foxes could climb trees. Must think they are cats.

Re: questions/thoughts about fox hunting and foxhounds

You don't see it offered by outfitter and guides because it's not a guided hunt where you pay to KILL an animal with a weapon. I've been invited to ride with a local club before at no cost.
