Northumberland fox hunt leads to fines

Northumberland County residents and an equestrian fox hunting club plead guilty to hunting with hounds offences








Courts





Northumberland News
NORTHUMBERLAND -- A May fox hunt in Northumberland has led to $1,250 in fines for two people and an equestrian club.

According to the case, heard in a Cobourg court Dec. 4, a Cramahe Township resident saw a pack of hounds pursue a doe and fawn on his property on May 19. On the same date at a different location, a Trent Hills resident saw a pack of hounds pursue a doe. An investigation revealed the dogs belonged to Beaver Meadow Foxhounds (Equestrian Club) which was running a fox hunt without a licence, and that James Hughes and Marion Castleton were responsible for controlling the fox hounds during the hunt.

Beaver Meadow Foxhounds pleaded guilty and was fined $250 for hunting a fur-bearing mammal without a licence. Mr. Hughes and Ms. Castleton were each fined $500 for permitting dogs to run at large during the closed season for white-tailed deer, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources

This is good. Nothing more makes me mad than having hounds running deer all over. Like I told my neighbours, no dogs on my land. Same with a lot of coyote hunters. (some are really good so not saying anything bad about them) but they seem to think they can run dogs on private land with no permission. Hunters need to realize, keep your dogs and train them if not you should lose all rights to hunt. The fines are far too little in this case.
I don't always chase tail, but when I do; its whitetail. Stay camo my friends.

I agree.

As a hound man I can say how important it is to have control of your hounds. For me that means a shock collar in case they do start chasing a deer. And what are they doing on a fox hunt with no hunting license? That is just stupid. They do not even need a hunting license, I believe they could have gotten a running permit for their hounds.

Just seems like a poorly run group.

Now this is interesting news. I got trailcam pictures of members of the same group, doing the same sh*t in september on my cousin's farm. Talking to my cousin we found out that his neighbour had allowed the clowns to run his property, but they don't really worry too much about fences. Notice that the second horse is making a snack out of my cousin Matt's corn.

They don't think they're in the UK, they just don't give a rat's a**. Northumberland county is an hour from Toronto. We have lots of D-bags from the city who have "weekend homes" out in the countryside. They move out here, buy farms, pay other people to look after them, and then protest farming practises, hunting, and all kinds of other stuff. Or they do crap like this and make responsible hunters look bad. There are a lot more gated driveways and no trespassing signs around my parents house than there were when I was a kid. The $1250 fine, for the GROUP is a joke. These entitled pricks spend more than that (each) on a lunch, the judge might as well have just kissed their ring.

We have an expression for these idiots, we say they have more dollars than sense.

We've had similar issues. Last year I was working close by and got a call that there were horses and hounds out in the bush we hunt. I went to check it out and there were horse tracks all over the private property. I got back out to the road and was able to stop the caravan of trucks and horse trailers and asked them a bunch of questions. Ultimately I told them they were on private property, they had no permission there, and they should immediately call the land owner, after I supplied them with the contact number.

They never called, but the next day their lost dogs showed up on the property and we had to call the club and get them to come get them.

A few weeks later they were back, again with no call, again trespassing, we had a trail camera stolen in that period, and again they lost their dogs to which they had to return the next day to retrieve.

We have enough issues with natives with high powered rifles running around trespassing in full camo to have to also worry about organized clubs trespassing.

Plott: The one guy has a phone or GPS or something so he obviously knows where he is. I also told him that if he sees corn, he's already trespassed. The corn is clearly visible in the pictures, as is the clover plot they are traveling through. Saying they can't teach a dog where property lines are is like saying how am I supposed to stop a bullet once it's fired? The solution is simple. Don't shoot it.

You don't hunt properties where it would be an issue. We try and stay away from rivers and highways, likewise we stay away from areas where people don't allow hunting. However in our area most people are quite willing to allow coyote hunting. Lots like the deer and want to watch them and don't aloow deer hunting. Farmers are all for coyote hunting for the most part.

Pretty blatant disregard for the law and zero respect for landowners in those pictures. I have never dealt with a "hunt club" like that. Seems to me that people who put in enough money to have dogs and horses, trucks and trailers would want to make friends with the landowners.
