Four Shires Bloodhound Hunt - Staffordshire

[TheRaven]

Another fantastic day chasing the hunt across the Staffordshire Moorlands!




Bloodhound hunting does not involve hunting animals. Bloodhounds hunt a human scent, they send a runner out about an hour before and the bloodhounds chase his scent. Keeps tradition going, no animals hurt in the making!




A fantastic day, if you are near to a hunt at any time I would recommend chasing it, a fantastic sight and sound when they come thundering past!




Here are a few shots, the rest can be found on my website if you would like to view them - http://www.ravenphotography.co.uk/Four-Shires-Bloodhound-January

I wonder what would happen if they did by chance come across a fox!

Nothing. They aren't bothered. They lock onto one scent and they have to find it.

Like the last one, the silhouette works really well.
