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.

Quote of the Day

Cry is a very important element, and it is not just the deep cry that is wanted, as often under certain circumstances, the high-pitched hound voices can be heard more clearly. Some hounds will run mute, and as this is an hereditary trait, a mute hound should never be bred from. Normally a mute hound can run faster than hounds that are throwing their tongues, and thus using up energy, but as the object of the sport is to hunt a pack of hounds, not individual hounds, the fast hound running mute will only foil the line for the rest of the hounds.
