Fox hunting is usually associated with the "horsey" set, but it's also done in some rural areas, especially in the South and in the Appalachians.

In the latter case, it's usually done at night. The fox hunters bring their dogs and turn them loose; the hunters stay around a fire, swap stories, and drink weak tea. Eventually, one of the dogs will pick up a scent and start to "sing," and the pack will chase the fox to earth. Then the hunters will walk to wherever the fox is and shoot it.

I have a vague memory that somewhere I might have a song related to this, but I'm not at all certain of it.

Foxes were and are more usually trapped for their pelts.
