Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the authorâs decades-long experience of hunting and his personal observations of a time when fox hunting was done on horseback and was common across the English countryside. Men of means and landed gentry, they went out not for the kill but for the pursuit of the fox. Many of the authorâs experiences and observations concern his own pack of foxhounds, of which he held the position of Master of Hounds. His insightful commentary on the breeding, training, and feeding of foxhounds will appeal to a wide variety of readers, while his fox hunting escapades and tales of fellow sportsmen will intrigue lovers of the sport. This book is an interesting look into a time when fox hunting was a common and ingrained part of rural life across England, before the advent of motorised vehicles, and shotguns, and when horses ruled the country lanes.
