Foxhunt can be a TWO stage hunt. Participants may hunt in just the lowest-mileage winning hunt, or also, the short on-foot hunt.
Activities after the hunts: Debrief at eatery.
No license required to hunt these animals, although as easy as it is to have an FCC ticket, it might help. Friends and family welcome too!
The only qualification or charge is to have fun safely and have your start odometer, call, etc. recorded. Some spare hunting equipment will be available.
