Are they real foxes or just the scent?

[@TwoMadHackers]

We hunt the clean boot and that means not the animal and not the scent. We have a group of human runners (known as quarries) who don’t drag or have a scent on them they run a route only they and our hunt master knows and the hounds follow the scent of human sweat. Absolutely no animals involved. If you look during the third hunt you can see and hear our hunt master keeping the hounds attention when a group of deer run right in front of them, none did anything they stayed with their master.
