There is no science here. Foxhunting* is an opportunity for humans to watch nature at its finest. It's about weather, wind, scenting, conditions of the land, and how a capable hunter, such as a fox or a hound, copes with the variables. Both fox and hounds are clever, able hunters, and clearly the smart and sophisticated fox is in charge of his environment! “Sly as a Fox!” is so! The fox WINS at this game!

*Many believe that foxhunting includes a "kill," but in the United States, it does not. In fact, a kill is an unfortunate occurrence, as it removes a fox from the fox population, which many foxhunters in America work hard at protecting. That is why many foxhunters feed fox canned dog food, know the dens where cubs and vixen grow together, and protect against development, which might harm the fox population.
