Really enjoyed this video. It's like sitting behind your horse's ears. I wish I was there with my horse. So good that the horrid weather didn't cause a cancellation. I could clearly see that the hounds were Bloodhounds.
We had 7 hare pop up on that field - hare will sit perfectly still until something spooks them and then they will run. Most of the hounds ignore them as bloodhounds are never trained on animal scents, we had a couple of pups out with us who sometimes get curious - that's why we have the whips who work with the huntsman to keep them on track if needed. Plus bloodhounds far too slow to get anywhere near a hare in escape mode!
This is a clean boot hunt with bloodhounds - we hunt a human runner, no live quarry. You can literally see them as we get to the end of the lines. Not sure what you mean?
Oh dear. Did we watch the same video? The hounds are clearly Bloodhounds. I watched diligently and saw the hounds greet the runners. So it was definitely Bloodhounds pursuing runners that they greeted happily when they caught up. So definitely clean boot hunting. Out of curiosity, genuine curiosity, once you had observed that the hounds were Bloodhounds, why did you think they were doing anything other than a clean boot hunt? What other activity did you think you were watching? Please tell me.
@@ChloePrice92 ahh apologies. I genuinely thought they were chasing hares. Then when I saw a group of dogs rallied round something on the grounds I thought it was the kill.
No one is killing hares. This is a clean boot hunt, we chase a human scent. Bloodhounds are not trained on any animal scents. The hares popped up and were promptly ignored by the hounds. Hunting live animal quarry with hounds has been banned since 2004. I would suggest you go look up our pack's website (The Hamilton Bloodhounds) and read about what we do. Or alternatively you could go onto the Norfolk and Suffolk Hunt Sabs page and see that they recommend us specifically as we are a no-kill pack.
@@ChloePrice92 Thank you Chloe I was concerned when I saw the hounds in a group looking like they had got a kill. I do understand the concept of riding after a human Yes I
I wish I could teleport myself and my Connemara pony there to ride with you! Alas, we are stuck in Minnesota USA.

Oh dear. I thought I was watching a clean boot drag/ trail hunt.

@@alisoncushing7587 Bloodhounds do not and have never been used to hunt game, they do not get a "kill".
