And is met and driven back to cover

Headed. When a fox is going away, and is met and driven back to cover. Jealous riders, anxious for a start, are very apt to head the fox. It is one of the greatest crimes in the hunting-field.

Heel. When hounds get on the scent of a fox, and run it back the way he came, they are said to be running heel.

Hold hard. A cry that speaks for itself, which every one who wishes for sport will at once attend to when uttered by the huntsman.

Holding scent. When the scent is just good enough for hounds to hunt a fox a fair pace, but not enough to press him.

Kennel. Where a fox lays all day in cover.

Line holders. Hounds which will not go a yard beyond the scent.

Left-handed. A hunting pun on hounds that are not always right.
