Tradition
We adhere to the traditions of
fox hunting that have been passed down from
England
as much as they are practical. We hunt foxes with hounds and follow the
hounds on horseback. We do not kill our quarry, for if we do, we
would not have him to chase on another day! In the old English
custom, many hunts are followed by a "Hunt Breakfast"
Members of our hunt will prepare food for the hunters to enjoy after an
exciting day of hunting. What a wonderful treat!!
Quarry
Throughout
Union
County
, we enjoy hunting the scent of both the red and gray fox, and the coyote,
with a crossbred pack of foxhounds.
Membership
Our club has several types of
memberships available. Please contact Joint
Master Jeanine DeVaney for
further information on memberships.
Colors
The colors of the Mecklenburg Hounds shall be a Carolina blue
collar. The pin of Mecklenburg Hounds shall be a hunt pin that
includes the MHI logo in it's design. After consultation with the
Hunt Staff, the Master(s) may nominate members in good standing to wear
