Manhunt as sport
Inz.ua L.VUUUU An English fox-hunting farmer has begun a new form of the chase, manhunting with blodhounds. Peter Boddy, of Radyfield Farm. Caunton, near Newark, in Nottinghamshire, has formed a pack of the hounds with humans as their quarry. Volunteers are given an hour’s start and then the dogs are let loose, followed by the red-coated huntsmen.
The first runner led the pack an Bkm chase over 22 fences before going to ground exhausted in the village public house. The worst the losing humans can expect from their pursuers is a good licking. Mr Boddy says. He believes that manchasing is likely to take over from traditional foxhunting. ,
