WalkedUp Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) My wife found this video of her grandfather, Master of the Hounds for the Royal Rock pack, on Pathé news. He’s in the pink (red) coat. Filmed Christmas Eve 1975. It states in the news clip that they only take two hares a season. Criminal that it was banned. https://www.britishpathe.com/video/VLVAA4EQRF1PQ2BN20Q7FL5JETN6C-UNITED-KINGDOM-ANCIENT-SPORT-OF-BEAGLE-HUNTING-BECOMES/query/Foxes Edited April 7, 2021 by WalkedUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a photo from the Royal Rock pack in an old book Thanks Thank you, I’ve forwarded to my wife. Generations of her family on both sides were involved with beagling and fox hunting. So much history lost due to the ban and the relentless marching of time thinning the ranks. Edited April 7, 2021 by WalkedUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
