200 Packs of Fox Hounds Begin Season's Sport
The start of the fox hunting season with the Cattistock Hunt in Maiden Newton, Dorset.
Overview
This newsreel item marks the start of the fox hunting season with images from the meet at Maiden Newton, Dorset. The chase is summarised into its key episodes: the hounds are mustered in town, then commence the hunt by the River Frome with followers in pursuit on horseback. The elusive fox goes to ground for protection and, rather unsportingly, some men dig it out. We are spared a view of the kill.
