Just days after the RPJ Band pulled out of playing the hunt ball the North Cotswold held their opening meet…
*** North Cotswold Hunt sett-blocker caught on camera – Sabs out for fifth time this week – RPJ Band have pulled out of playing North Cotswold Hunt Ball ***
The North Cotswold Hunt met at Springhill this morning for their opening meet. Springhill is where they will be holding their hunt ball again this year and where ex-terrierman Rog carries on his ‘work’. No surprise there then that the Estate allows sett-blocking and illegal hunting.
Footage is being passed on to the police of the 5 setts found blocked this morning during our ‘early morning sett-blocking patrol’. Many setts had been blocked last night, to minimise work this morning… when moving on from some setts we left trail cameras in our place, so evidence sent to police includes video footage of one of the setts being blocked with rocks and a tree branch. More on that later once we have discussed the situation with the police!
Especially with the Heythrop Hunt meeting nearby and hunting around Sezincote, it was a busy day (other sabs were at the Ross Harriers Hunt – we’ll share their report soon). Heythrop terriermen and supporters were caught messing around not far from a known artificial earth and drove off swiftly at arrival of sabs.
Then at a fireworks display this evening information was also overheard about the Cotswold Hunt… that the new huntsman is sh*t and they only got on the scent of a couple of foxes all day at their opening meet. Be careful who you speak to and where boys!
A huge thank you to the individuals out yesterday and today ‘dog-walking’ and ‘rambling’ near to the hunt meets – your footage and intel is invaluable!
More on all this soon…
