HUNTING WITHIN THE LAW

Please print out this section and carry it with you when hunting
HUNTING WITHIN THE LAW - TRAIL HUNTING

If you are approached by someone enquiring what we are doing, simply inform them that we are hunting within the Law.  If they require more information, please direct them to one of the Masters.

Although we are hunting completely within the Law, there are people who may be intent on ruining our sport because they don't want to see people on horseback enjoying themselves in the countryside.  For this reason, they may wish to discredit us, so if you are suspicious of anyone, please inform one of the Masters as quickly as possible.

If you have any questions or you are not sure what to do in certain instances, please ask one of the Masters.

HUNTING ACT 2004 - LEGAL HELPLINE

If questioned or arrested by the police:

  • Be polite and answer your name and address
  • Telephone the Legal Helpline on 08719 193505 (insert this number into your mobile phone
  • Do not make a statement or answer questions until you have received advice.  Stay calm, whatever the provocation
  • Do not accept the services of the duty solicitor before you have spoken to the Legal Helpline.  The Legal Helpline (Knights Solicitors) will assign a solicitor to you, who will have a full understanding of the Hunting Act
  • If you have the opportunity, inform both one of the Masters and the Hunting Office (01285 831470) of the situation
