Trivia question - terminology

Oh, well, guess nobody else wanted to play. Yes, that whipper in has knocked that bad, bad hound off of the riot and is reinforcing the rate, using whip and no doubt voice, because that hound has done a bad, bad thing, and best head back to the huntsman and be good for evermore. Hound showing some chagrin, if not remorse, is indeed heading back to the huntsman with his stern between his legs.

The slogan that used to appear in the artwork was:

‘A true line needs no whip.’

And that little banner listing disciplines has changed over the years too, used to include mention of racing. I’ll just have to find one of the old Chronicles to see what got added over the years, I would guess dressage and eventing.

Glad you responded. It was bugging me.

I wonder if that phrase is a quote or if COTH made it up back in the day…

I like it.

I forgot they used to have racing. It sure has changed over the years.

Beverley thanks for giving us the answer…I’ve been wanting to take a stab at it but was afraid of looking stupid!

I have been watching this whole thread with great interest.

The reason I have not replied is because the differrences between here, and the UK foxhunting I remember are vast.:lol:

Especially cubbing :wink:

Great thread though.:lol:

Beverly - DO NOT throw away those old COTH issues. I am on a secret mission and may need them. Not for wallpaper. :wink:

“View halloo” or “view holloa”?

… and how is/are it/they pronounced?

Gosh, I just noticed what an old thread this is! Wonder if anyone will reply?

You just scream.

View Halloo or Halloa-----view Holler !!!

How about Rasper?

Rack?

Great thread! What ever happened to the vintage Chronicles!!!

Wow 2 year gap!!! Lets go!

Skirter! I got skirter!! woooppppeeee!
Did you know that the rebel yell of the Confederate Army is the same Holler that southern hunts are likely to imitate. Which came first? I always do a rebel yell when I holler. Rarely yell tally ho. I’m yeller hollerer.

I have an honest question/riddle. I’d actually like to know this!

If a young fox is a kit, and a young hound is a pup, then why do we have a cubbing season?!

We sighted during cubbing this year, and it started a conversation about correct terms, as it appeared to be a young fox we sighted. Someone called it a fox cub, someone else corrected that a young fox is a kit, and I asked why we weren’t ‘kitting’ then?

Kit - baby fox

Cub - young fox who has struck out to find his own territory.

During cubbing you’ll encounter more young foxes that are transient - they’re looking to establish their own territory. You may notice it while you’re hunting - they may run differently.

That’s what I was taught. Your mileage may differ.

Hare pie? I think I remember that from “Revenge of the Nerds” …
