Welcome to Foxhunting in Virginia

Foxhunting is a long-standing Virginia tradition, ever since colonial times. George Washington kept a pack of foxhounds! To this day, our beautiful and gracious state is known as a mecca for fox hunters. We hope to impart to you some of the excitement and pure joy of mounted foxhunting in Virginia with news, articles, a calendar of events, a FAQs, hunt reports, and much more.

Those of you who already know the “thrill of the chase” will use the site as a resource for finding places to hunt, links of interest to fox hunters, and news and other information.

For those of you who have been thinking about hunting but don't know where to start, this is the place! Start with our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about hunting, and most of all, don't be afraid to contact us with your questions. Chances are if you are asking, someone else is wondering the same thing. Just click the contact us link and ask away!

Quote of the Day

I want the bitches and the dogs to be as tall as the standard allows. . . .

They should all be the same color, size, and shape. The more they look alike the better. I want them to look so much alike even I can’t tell them apart.
