Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foxes, Foxhounds and Fox-Hunting Whether it be for better or worse we cannot tell, for hunting goes on despite the advent of the motor car, the rush of traffic, and the glass-like surface of the roads. It takes a lot to prevent a keen hunting man from following his favourite pursuit, and so despite the wire, the petrol fumes, and all the rest of it, big fields still forgather at every meet of hounds.

Download or read book A Century of English Fox Hunting Classic Reprint written by George F. Underhill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of English Fox-Hunting For a century the historian must rely upon trustworthy records. In regard to fox-hunting the records are numerous, ' but their authenticity is doubtful. At the beginning of the century the hunting correspondent was unknown, and it was left to the local poet to commemorate in rhyme the doings of the chase. The main object was to place the names of the local gentry in rhyme, bisect the product with local geography, and trisect the result with hunting phraseology. Masters of hounds, with a few exceptions, were either negligent in posting up their hunting diaries, or did not pretend to keep a diary. They cared nothing for fame, as presented by journalism nor could journalism have given them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Life of a Fox written by Thomas Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of a Fox: Written by Himself Pytchly's Story reveals the very foundation of Fox hunting, which is to stick to the line. There are indeed two opinions about nose. Some Foxhounds may have, like some human beings, a more sensitive organ of smell than others; if this can be discovered in a Foxhound, combined with tongue, speed, intelligence, perseverance, and constitu tion, all contained in a frame of sufficient symmetry, then that Foxhound should be bred from freely. But the prob ability is, that while some Hounds may have keener noses than others the vast majority have sufficiently serviceable noses provided they are encouraged, or even allowed, to use them. There is no doubt whatever that where the Fox scores against the Hounds is by gaining time when he turns. It is the turn that tells. If all Foxes that were found went straight ahead, many more would be killed. The proof of this is that even on a day when scent is poor, Hounds always run fast when the Fox goes straight to an earth or drain. He knows the way. He goes straight through all his well known smeuses in the fences, and the leading Hounds have no difficulty, his scent being in their faces all the way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fox Hunting: A Treatise by the Right Hon. The Earl of Kilreynard To this end I have devoted the best of my days, and, with an apology to Mr. Punch's College of Arms, I leave it to the kind reader to say whether or not the result is eminently satisfactory. The life-like portraits with which the treatise is embellished have not met with the unqualified approval of the celebrities they so strikingly represent.

Download or read book Fox Hunting in the Shires Classic Reprint written by T. F. Dale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fox-Hunting in the Shires IN this volume Mr. Dale has given the results of his experience in the hunting fields of Leicester shire and the surrounding counties, and has treated his subject from the dual standpoint, for which his earlier work so fits him, of hunting historian and hunting - correspondent. His chapters are almost em tirely practical, though he digresses where necessary to criticise, always briefly and to the point, such modern questions as the presence of ladies in the field, the latest development of the capping system, and the question of hunting dress and hunting morals. For the most part, and with some few such exceptions, he gives us minute descriptions of the country known somewhat vaguely as the Shires, and some very excellent advice as to the purchase or schooling of the right kind of horse for hunting that country. The photographs obtained by Mr. R. B. Lodge, with considerable guiding assistance from the author, have here and there been supplemented, with a View to illustrating in as practical fashion as possible the main features of the book.
