Me vs these hunters and their dogs. “(Picks up the exhausted fox) I AIN’T LETTING YOU HUNTERS AND TERRER MEN KILL THESE FOXES WITH YOUR HOUNDS!!!

When I was growing up I had a mix dog as this breed. Here in Australia I have found one breeder I might like to get one someday in the next couple of years.

I just need to know how they teach the hounds to stick to one scent and not run away - Everyone here says it's not possible to have an off-leash hound

Great view, good job, nice movie!! I'd like ivite you for my channel to see harvest in Poland.

Great film Matt and well done Rob

deer over population can happen easily despite that they only give birth to 1 at a time they often grow and reproduce rapidly

Here in North America the whitetail deer is primarily a browsing species.Overpopulation wreaks havoc on understory tree and shrub species.

It’s nice to see a stalker out with his dog, I also stalk with my bmh off lead, a dog can tell a stalker when there is deer around when the use of binos or thermal isn’t available, great video

More of a political statement than deerstalking!

Very informative video explaining why as Deer stalkers we play an important part in managing not only the deer population but the country side as a whole, especially to people who may not fully understand why we need to do what we do.

Thoroughly enjoyed your video, well put together & Bob's a natural.

Why don’t we hear more about this? I hung up my hunting boots years ago when I became aware of some of what actually goes on behind the scenes, not only with foxhunting but with drag hunting which, let’s be honest, is very often a “cover” for foxhunting. It seems to me that following the bloodhounds, hunting the “clean boot,” is better than either in just about every way unless the kill is what does it for you. The hounds are still following a natural scent, you are chasing a “quarry” which chooses its track with the objective of not only eluding hounds but also to ensure the best experience for the mounted field, rather than for pure survival which (even if you disregard the ethical aspect) can take you to impossible and impenetrable country, involve long periods of standing around, and can culminate in the unedifying and demeaning spectacle of digging out the fox which goes to ground or sending in the terriers. Instead what you get is a free-running ride across horse-friendly country, with options for every level at every obstacle, and the freedom to enjoy it all without hindrance and with a clear conscience. The fact that the bloodhound itself (or St Huberts hound, for the purists!) is such a favourite of mine, wonderful creature oozing with character, is the icing on the cake. I only wish there was a pack closer to where I live, rather than have to box the horse for miles. But I suspect this form of hunting will only grow in popularity and more and more hunts will be established in the coming years.

You disgusting poor excuse of human beings, don’t even bother when you die going to the pearly gates & asking St. Peter to let you in, go directly to hell where your worst nightmare will begin. Your soul will be hung drawn & quartered, enjoy.

How do I join this illustrious society and culture? I'm in the area, own a purebred bloodhound, and have the financial means.

Oh God please. What a lying B

Lovely british bloodhounds

I'm very interested in using my black and tan coonhound with an Australian wild brumby for search and rescue.

Ben’s comment “I ride to hunt, not hunt to ride” was interesting, because I suspect that is the case with many hunt staff and followers who haven’t seen an indoor school for years if ever, and yet when you see them in action they appear to be the most confident, competent and relaxed riders in the field. That just shows that the hunting field is not just a great training ground for horses, it does the same for riders too. I’m a firm believer that once you have mastered the basics, there is no substitute for just getting out there and putting miles on the clock, coping with all sorts of challenging situations and circumstances.

Really enjoyable video and what a great breed.

Hi first of all happy New Year and I must say I value good health over gold your video has a lot of good points I know of people that have Lost out on a daily bread we extras and we for galleys in keepers we things that people forget and go to the outdoor shops people that make a few extra pound including cottages oll stop and it’s a big impact to family’s I even take to do with the small and old clay pigeon club it’s an all Forestry Commission and oll it’s knees still have bills to pay but can’t use it I hoip stuf improved in the future

Amazing laugh just a shame fox hunting was outlawed

What a great talent!

Hunted with the Cranwell Bloodhounds in the early days and really enjoyed it. Sad to hear about Phils death. He was a great character. Wishing them all the best for the future from Kenya.

Nice viewing Matt.

Nice work Matt. Thank you.

So I like Matt’s work ... he’s relaxed and natural and seems to care about the topic and the people. Beautifully filmed as well.

You should do this for a fox hound pack
