oxhunters have a saying: "There are those that hunt to ride and there are those that ride to hunt." But what about those who hunt of foot, following Beagles and Basset hounds in their pursuits of rabbit? What's their motivation?

Not surprisingly, it's much the same as most avid hound followers--the thrill of the chase. A vast majority of foot followers started out hunting on horseback, and many still do.
