Wait a minute! You have to be young and brave to hunt?
Then I’ve been doing it wrong for quite some time. So have a great many of the folks I ride with. Most hunts have a hilltopping group which is a lot like a glorified trailride with the opportunity to watch hounds work, listen to the action, run from bee swarms, ride slow enough to take a pull from your flask. And the better the desert or adult beverage you bring to the “bring to share” afterward, the more likely you’ll be invited back. Don’t let age or anything else stop you, truly. In this part of the country anyway, there is a lot more walking and trotting, reversing, starting and stopping than you think. It’s not much like the scene in Auntie Mame around here.
Virginia is a whole different game. If that’s where you are, get ahold of Hunter’s Rest and throw yourself on her mercy.
