Re: The hunt
I once had a hunt cross the road whilst I was digging a 1.2m trench with One of these
One of the horses came between the cones (road traffic management was a bit slacker back in the 90's) and dropped a leg in the trench much to the consternation of the rider.
I didn't give a f**k, not that I was against the hunt, I actually support it, It was just the arrogance of the landed gentry thinking he could ignore the cones and signs, prick!

Its a common mistake to think that everyone who hunts is from the land. In actual fact many are far from it as is possible to get. Ive hunted with two ladies who owned and ran dress shops in London, a private school teacher, agricultural rep. and even a local vicar.
I was a farm manager and I hunted in the season. But for that I worked all hours (with no extra for overtime) to get the wheat and barley drilled, sprayed, fertilised, combined and hauled back to the grain store where it often needed drying and recleaning. In between I ran 170 ewes, 12 sows and their offspring and 30-40bullocks, and I had to deal with the reps. sell the produce and keep up with the accounts.
The name of the game is you put the effort in when its required and enjoy your field sport when its slack.

Re: The hunt
In general, I support the hunt but couldn't get involved myself.

The Coniston used to have a very famous huntsman, do you remember his name?
I used to really enjoy reading the hunt reports of the fell packs in the Shooting Times back in the days of the black and white photographs.
