What kind of fox hunting is this?

[HowardB]

After all there are no:

-masters
-red riding habits
-huntsmen
-treasures
-cap fees
-whippers-in
-horses
-hounds
-horns
-fields
-shotguns

Please see video to see what kind of fox hunting this is:

Would this be termed "non-traditional fox hunting" or "varminting for red fox"?
Are dogs ever used in this sport like decoying dogs for coyote?
Is a Weatherby Vanguard in .243 Win. a good rifle for fox?

I dont wanna sound like a prick, but your post make me question do you even hunt or are you and anti trolling this website.

I truly believe he is a troll. Those anti have been working hard east of the Mississippi. I really believe he is looking for the first state west of Mississippi to attack next.

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 others to avoid helping anyone to ruin a sport enjoyed by many to help an anti twist truth.

If you want to prove me wrong please post some pics of you and these carcasses of animals you valiantly killed with your shotgun.

Otherwise my advice is go troll somewhere else!

You would be surprised what some people don’t know about hunting. I was stopped by a very young Louisiana Game Warden that wanted to know what I was hunting, I told him fox and he looked kinds surprised and asked if I ate them, I thought he was being funny and I said no , just run them with these dogs. He wanted to know why I did that and I said it’s just a silly notion I get every now and thin. I could tell by then he was serious and had never heard of running fox just to listen to the dogs. There is a huge generation gap between old timers like us that started in the 50s and are still at it and 23 year old warden. I don’t guess game and fish consider it important enough to mention when training new Wardens.

I was thinking the hunting community should adopt simple standard terms for each kind to avoid confusion in talking.

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

An analogy to music history. Originally, all organs were pipe organs and thus were just formerly simply called ORGANS. Later on, other types of organs were invented as pump organs, barrel organs, reed organs, accordions, calliopes and harmoniums and even more later on electric organs came about. With all these new instruments, new terms had to be established. So, the term pipe organ had to be coined so as not to confuse other organ types with the original.

Horses-and-hounds fox hunting is the original. The magnificent pipe organ in a huge stained-glass Gothic cathedral, figuratively speaking. The divine choir-like music those foxhounds can make! The picture of the man with rifle and battery-operated game call in cammies is akin to a modern electronic music keyboard. This analogy is not to cheapen or deride either type of hunting. The more modern version seems much more efficient and cost-effective than as with all those hounds and horses. A genuine pipe organ can cost millions of dollars to build. I got my Casio keyboard from amazon.com for a song!
