Fox hunting question.

Before I begin, this thread is NOT about the rights/wrongs. I will not get dragged into this, especially over the festive period. It is just a simple question. Does anyone know what time they assemble on Boxing day? I understand it may vary, but a general answer if possible.
To relieve my boredom, I am thinking of doing some photography, but purely in a documentary way. Nothing nasty.

 

Thanks @shiney . Judging by the amount of onlookers that turn up, I may give it a miss. 3000 in one place in Northamptonshire. Where would one park ones car . Must be a nightmare.

 

Us photographers get greedy though we look for milling 'and' action .
I had to look up 'drag hunting' . I may take a drive through Towcester later if I can wake up. Still semi

 

They do kill terrified Foxes "accidentally" though ! It really should be banned totally .

 

We are surrounded by hunts. Funny thing is in nearly 20 years ive seen 2 foxes but when it the city i see them almost daily.

Next door neighbour found one hiding in his washing machine . Made a great photo. had to be seen to be believed.

 

When I was a kid we had horses, and knocked about with other horsey people. I never once encountered a hunt though, although I was aware they happened. I think the adults in our group kept checks on when and where they were happening, because I remember there being a distinct effort to ensure we never accidentally met. I remember the old boy that was our sort of unofficial leader saying many times that we stay out of their waybecause they 'ride like idiot's with no regard for anyone else who might cross their path.

In our group we had our own version of the hunt, and with the exception of the occasional fall, no people or animals ever got hurt. We'd head to a usually deserted area of the dunes, then one person would be nominated to be hunted by everyone else. The nominated rider would be given a couple of minutes head start, then the rest of the group would pursue. You were caught and the game was over as soon as one of the hunters tagged you. It was immense fun without the questionable ethics
