    Where is the skill for the hunter? You have a a pack of dogs chase an animal until it is too scared and tired to run anymore. Then while they kill the fox you trout up on a horse. You did nothing. If you hunt a deer in theory you needed some skill to sneak up on it and shoot accurately.

    But to the English they are pests I guess so most people do no care. :rage: Those in favor it portray it as a fun afternoon in the country with animals getting needed exercise. Bullshit your dogs can run without the fox involved.

    That's still a thing?

    Seriously thought the practice died out years ago.
