CHRISTMAS for many, even hunt followers, is a time of indulgence, and what better way to shed the excesses but to don an old pair of runners or sturdy boots and take to the countryside on foot with a pack of beagles in your area. To make it easier, they are all listed in The Irish Field Directory.

The origins of hunting in Ireland, back to the dawn of time, was all done on foot as mounted hunting came later. Today, there is a significant crossover between followers hunting on foot and mounted and none more so than the followers of Mr Kerr’s Beagles.
