- The season of 2012/2013 is the fiftieth since men first came out of the coal pit in Banwen, South Wales, and founded the Banwen Miners Hunt. Originally, they hunted foxes in and out of the slag heaps. Today's meet is at an Indian restaurant - and the hunt is thriving. The coal mining may be gone but the community lives on with this pack of foxhounds that welcomes anyone who loves hunting. Nicky Sadler introduces this item, interviewing Huntsman/Master Peter Astle and former master Jeff Evans.

Why manage fox numbers?
The British red fox is widespread across the whole of mainland Britain and Ireland. The best estimate of the current British fox population is 240,000 adults in spring, to which a production of 425,000 cubs is added annually. The fox has no natural predator and for the population to remain stable, 425,000 foxes must therefore die each year.
Fox numbers need to be managed and controlled to prevent the predation of lambs, piglets reared outdoors, free range and domestic poultry. Foxes can also have a significant impact on vulnerable species of ground nesting birds such as black grouse, partridge, lapwing and curlew (Bealey, Green, Robson, Taylor & Winspear, 1999).
In order to protect such species while they are breeding, conservators and gamekeepers aim to control fox numbers, particularly from late winter to early summer. Foxes are also controlled around pheasant and partridge rearing and release pens in late summer and autumn. Overall, the direct cost to UK agriculture from fox predation has been estimated at £12 million annually (UK Government figures)
I Used to go with my uncle back in 88, I loved it, I never used to ride with the horses i used to go around finding the missing hounds, travelling around Wales with beautiful scenery makes some amazing memories,my mate used to come with me but he passed away last year so I am trying to find pictures of the hunt from 1987-88, see if there's 1 of me and him there.
That horse on the left 4:37 is 1 of the nicest colours I've seen in a horse
