We've just watched the Warwickshire Hunt pack up after 4 foxes were seen to safety by sabs.

Good team work and the addition of @3countieshuntsabs.bsky.social meant we had the hunt surrounded all day

We were out at the very unattended North Cotswold and Croome joint meet today. I was able to spend a lot of time with the hounds and was able to see first hand the effect of sticky, muddy soil on the fox scent as a fox ran and I then watched the hounds unable to pick up on it. Also lovely sheep!

Correct we're not a protest group but 'largely won in 2004' is hilariously incorrect - the hunting act is so full of loopholes and the police generally so corrupt, inept or unconcerned that it's not worth the paper it's printed on.

Sabs say: "Full cry"
Hunts say: "Hunting nicely", "Tuned in", "Settled"
Meaning: The hounds are actively chasing and closing in on whomever they are chasing. They will be making a lot of frenzied, high-pitched noise and moving rapidly.
