A happy master
The Old Berkeley Beagles are a pack of beagles based in Buckinghamshire. We
hunt a trail, to
imitate the trail of a hare, with our hounds. We
are not a mounted pack - both the hunt staff and the hunt supporters follow
on foot.
Our Joint-Masters are in overall charge of the hunt. We have a professional
huntsman who both hunts the hounds and looks after them in our kennels.
The beagling season is from October until March. During the season we follow hounds in Buckinghamshire each Wednesday and Saturday except when we visit other beagle packs in England and Wales, particularly in the open hill country of Cumbria and Northumberland.
