The part I like is I've heard that the majority of foxes escape the hunt - all those dogs and goofy people in red on horses and they actually have a pretty low success rate.

And the other thing is that I've heard that the sport has little to do with population control - only a small number of foxes are killed each year. Anyone got the averages, by any chance?

By the way, here in the South, coon hunts still occur - hounds and men with guns. The hounds usually "tree" the coon (and I'm talking about raccoons - not the other type) and then they shoot the coon out of the tree.

Of course, I've also gone cow-tipping when I was a teen...
