Hunting with Bloodhounds & The Cranwell Bloodhounds
มุมมอง 44K4 ปีที่แล้ว
The Cranwell Bloodhounds were formed in 1992 by Joint Masters the late Philip Broughton and his wife Wendy to hunt the ‘clean boot’ that is, the natural scent of man, in this case, a cross country runner. The quarry is given about 20-minute head start before each hunt, which is referred to as a line, no trail is put down or dragged, no artificial scent used, just the pure natural smell of the c...
Very nice, so relaxing to watch. Like to see you go around the church and tell us more about the history of it.
Thank you, if there is one thing I learnt, it is the relaxing pace of life on the canals, in today's ever fast work life balance it was so good. I think you are right, we need to have a look at the church, remember to follow so you know once we get back.
Lovely Video
Thank you, as it says my first ever time on a narrowboat in the good hands of Chris, but I hope it will not be my last.
Me vs these hunters and their dogs. “(Picks up the exhausted fox) I AIN’T LETTING YOU HUNTERS AND TERRER MEN KILL THESE FOXES WITH YOUR HOUNDS!!!
You obviously did not fully appreciate this a bloodhound pack and they do not hunt anything but a cross country runner.
When I was growing up I had a mix dog as this breed. Here in Australia I have found one breeder I might like to get one someday in the next couple of years.
I just need to know how they teach the hounds to stick to one scent and not run away - Everyone here says it's not possible to have an off-leash hound
Great view, good job, nice movie!! I'd like ivite you for my channel to see harvest in Poland.
Great film Matt and well done Rob
deer over population can happen easily despite that they only give birth to 1 at a time they often grow and reproduce rapidly
Here in North America the whitetail deer is primarily a browsing species.Overpopulation wreaks havoc on understory tree and shrub species.
It’s nice to see a stalker out with his dog, I also stalk with my bmh off lead, a dog can tell a stalker when there is deer around when the use of binos or thermal isn’t available, great video
More of a political statement than deerstalking!
Very informative video explaining why as Deer stalkers we play an important part in managing not only the deer population but the country side as a whole, especially to people who may not fully understand why we need to do what we do.
Many thanks, the plan was to highlight the current situation
@@CountryEcho which you did👌
Thoroughly enjoyed your video, well put together & Bob's a natural.
Why don’t we hear more about this? I hung up my hunting boots years ago when I became aware of some of what actually goes on behind the scenes, not only with foxhunting but with drag hunting which, let’s be honest, is very often a “cover” for foxhunting. It seems to me that following the bloodhounds, hunting the “clean boot,” is better than either in just about every way unless the kill is what does it for you. The hounds are still following a natural scent, you are chasing a “quarry” which chooses its track with the objective of not only eluding hounds but also to ensure the best experience for the mounted field, rather than for pure survival which (even if you disregard the ethical aspect) can take you to impossible and impenetrable country, involve long periods of standing around, and can culminate in the unedifying and demeaning spectacle of digging out the fox which goes to ground or sending in the terriers. Instead what you get is a free-running ride across horse-friendly country, with options for every level at every obstacle, and the freedom to enjoy it all without hindrance and with a clear conscience. The fact that the bloodhound itself (or St Huberts hound, for the purists!) is such a favourite of mine, wonderful creature oozing with character, is the icing on the cake. I only wish there was a pack closer to where I live, rather than have to box the horse for miles. But I suspect this form of hunting will only grow in popularity and more and more hunts will be established in the coming years.
You disgusting poor excuse of human beings, don’t even bother when you die going to the pearly gates & asking St. Peter to let you in, go directly to hell where your worst nightmare will begin. Your soul will be hung drawn & quartered, enjoy.
You dip stick. Fox hounds hunt foxes, otter hounds hunt otters, mink hounds hunt mink. These are bloodhounds, they hunt humans!!
@@larrybrown6068 I’ll just ignore your retort & treat it with the contempt it deserves.🙄🙄
@@ellielilac2 I don't have a problem with you being anti hunt, I was simply pointing out the differences between the hounds, as you obviously didn't know. There are blood hounds, google them.
How do I join this illustrious society and culture? I'm in the area, own a purebred bloodhound, and have the financial means.
Oh God please. What a lying B
Lovely british bloodhounds
I'm very interested in using my black and tan coonhound with an Australian wild brumby for search and rescue.
Ben’s comment “I ride to hunt, not hunt to ride” was interesting, because I suspect that is the case with many hunt staff and followers who haven’t seen an indoor school for years if ever, and yet when you see them in action they appear to be the most confident, competent and relaxed riders in the field. That just shows that the hunting field is not just a great training ground for horses, it does the same for riders too. I’m a firm believer that once you have mastered the basics, there is no substitute for just getting out there and putting miles on the clock, coping with all sorts of challenging situations and circumstances.
I don't ride, but would certainly agree on this theory for many things in life, many thanks for highlighting the point
I couldn’t agree more. As a rider myself, I started on ponies at an approved riding school and came through the BHS system with approved instructors but I always made a point of hacking out as often as possible, to put what I’d learned into practice in a natural fun situation where even just staying on sometimes depended on it. Constantly repeated formal lessons can make you a bit stale, you need to be reminded of exactly why you’re doing it! I’m also a skier and a motorcyclist, and the same applies to both. The formal training is important to put you on the right track, but personally I learned a lot more “in the field” afterwards. Then, it’s just the occasional lesson or simply accompanying a more advanced exponent from time to time, who can kindly observe what you do and make recommendations to stop you falling into any bad habits!
They're confident and confident riders *because* they don't ride in indoor schools, but ride outdoors in the country. I have never ridden in a hunt, but used to ride all over the place in Nova Scotia, on various kinds of horses. Had an excellent seat, lots of confidence. Much later, I found my daughter's riding lessons in an arena suffocating to watch.
Really enjoyable video and what a great breed.
Hi first of all happy New Year and I must say I value good health over gold your video has a lot of good points I know of people that have Lost out on a daily bread we extras and we for galleys in keepers we things that people forget and go to the outdoor shops people that make a few extra pound including cottages oll stop and it’s a big impact to family’s I even take to do with the small and old clay pigeon club it’s an all Forestry Commission and oll it’s knees still have bills to pay but can’t use it I hoip stuf improved in the future
Amazing laugh just a shame fox hunting was outlawed
What a great talent!
Hunted with the Cranwell Bloodhounds in the early days and really enjoyed it. Sad to hear about Phils death. He was a great character. Wishing them all the best for the future from Kenya.
Nice viewing Matt.
Nice work Matt. Thank you.
My pleasure!
So I like Matt’s work ... he’s relaxed and natural and seems to care about the topic and the people. Beautifully filmed as well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You should do this for a fox hound pack
Matt Limb Images because like the majority I have more of a interest in them
Ben Stone Thanks, and do it in the same style and format?
hunted with the cranwell since they started and truly still love it ,great friendly bunch of people!!
Excellent insight into this wonderful sport, am totally sold!
Wonderful sport?! What? Racing around on horses chasing a terrified defenceless animal which practically collapses with exhaustion & fear, only to be set upon by a pack of dogs ripping it from limb to limb whilst a pack of sadistic bullies sit back & watch!! Let’s see how much of a sport it would be if a pack of animals turned on you racing you to exhaustion then ripping you to pieces see what a jolly good sport that would be. If anyone needs assessing it’s a pack of savages who inflict cruelty & pain on a living breathing little animal.
Great people very friendly and welcoming come and enjoy.
I agree! Warm and welcoming every meet no matter who you are
