Thursday, December 4 at Lenox Farm

For the first time ever, Sedgefield hosted the District (NC and SC) Masters’ Meeting, which included hunts at two of our territories. On Thursday afternoon, Red Mountain brought their 17 couple of foxhounds to our Lenox Farm territory in Caswell County. David, their huntsman, was hunting the hounds, and several of their whips and masters and members were there as well as some from other hunts too. The first couple of hours were blank, and we were hunting back towards the meet, when Fred, Carol and Katherine (Aiken huntsman) saw some tracks and debated whether there was fox, coyote or bobcats around. So David cast the hounds from there, and they took off in cry. We believe there were 2 grey foxes in the covert, one of which they chased around for a while. Then the non-hunted fox proceeded to head towards hwy 150. We stopped the hounds from running into the road, but unfortunately, the fox met an untimely death when it got hit and killed by a car on the road. David tried to get the hounds back onto the trail of the hunted fox, but as it was getting dark by that time, he decided to gather them up and head for the meet.
