Back to The Tedworth Hunt today with friends from Southampton Sabs & South West Sabs for the opening meet of main hunting season. It was quickly apparent that support for the hunt has dwindled massively. in fact, only a handful of foot supporters were watching the Tedworth leave their meet at Oare House.

The hunt didn’t waste any time in trying to pursue wildlife and soon enough, hounds were in full cry chasing a fox. Sabs managed to take control of the hounds and the scent was soon lost. The huntsman quickly gathered up the hounds and headed off in an attempt to lose us but we stuck to him closely which set the tone for the rest of the day.

Everywhere the hunt went, we were with them and every attempt to lose us failed (and believe us, there were many). The hunt headed to Gopher Wood, an old haunt of theirs and were heard trying their best to encourage the hounds through the wood. A fox was seen running for its life so we stepped in and pulled the hounds out of the wood to our feet using hunting horns. The pissed off hunt tried to leg it again so off we went. They even tried going back to Gopher Wood but we popped up again to spoil their fun.

They finally threw in the towel at 4pm after a last quick attempt to hunt a covert near their meet. We scuppered that attempt for them too.

A brilliant day for local wildlife and a shit one for The Tedworth (and their late afternoon visitors from the RAC beagles!) Direct action gets the goods!
