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.

Quote of the Day

They always say huntsmen don’t give good hounds away, and a lot of that is true: they’ll find every excuse for keeping a good hound, and don’t need much of an excuse to get rid of others.
