Fox Hunt Rules..


I have had questions about rules for the hunt.  This is how all will
proceed, we encourage more experienced hunters to take those along with them
who have no experience or no equipment and to show them the ropes.   If you
are able to take someone along with you please let me know and I will try to
pair people up.  Also please remember to pass this info on to your clubs and
friends.   Everyone is invited to play and no membership to any group is
required.  Just be a ham.
