BOLEBROKE BEAGLES

The Bolebroke Beagles were established in 1925 when the former Master, Mr Percy Mann, bought the Basted Beagles and renamed them after his residence in Hartfield, Bolebroke Castle.

The pack are seeking for a scent in a nearby ditch. The amateur huntsman Martin Letts is shown on the left and the Master, Philips Burrows, MH, assisting the hounds to the right. This is typical winter scne in Britain as the snow thaws and scent should begin to rise. It recalls days when one went home, britches frozen to the legs.

Drag hunting is the sport of using hounds to follow an artificial scent that is dragged along the ground by a trail layer.  The Bolebroke Beagles use aniseed as our target scent.
