Slack Indifferent A succession of bad

Slack Indifferent A succession of bad



Slack. Indifferent. A succession of bad days, or a slack huntsman, will make hounds slack.

Streaming. An expressive word applied to hounds in full cry, or breast high and mute, streaming away.

Speaks. When a hound throws his tongue he is said to speak; and one word from a sure hound makes the presence of a fox certain.

Throw up. When hounds lose the scent they throw up their heads. A good sportsman always takes note of the exact spot and cause, if he can, to tell the huntsman.

Tailing. The reverse of streaming. The result of bad scent, tired hounds, or an uneven pack.

Throw off. After reaching the meet, at the master’s word the pack is thrown into cover, hence throw off.
