South Dorset Hunt, meet at Charborough House on the Charbourgh Estate.
Today’s meet for the SD Hunt was on the private estate of Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Earnle-Erle-Drax, common name Richard Drax, conservative MP for South Dorset. Pro Badger Cull, pro shooting, pro hunt and right at the top of the list of removing “those immigrants ” “there are far to many of that sort here brigade!
Holding the title, Lordship of the Manor of Longburton, the ancestors of our MP have a past with many dark skeletons in and out of the closet. With a very colourful history that includes a Master of the S.D Hunt and a little further back the Slave Trade see;

Richard Drax was born with the blood of our beautiful wildlife running through his veins and even on the web page boasts of shooting holidays on his estate.

Sadly between pro Badger cull, pro hunt MP Oliver Letwin in West Dorset and Richard Drax in South Dorset, our wildlife really is fighting for its life.
It came as no surprise to hear that the SD were meeting at the Estate of South Dorset MP Richard Drax, firm supporter and landlord of the South Dorset Hunt. It came as even less of a surprise that members of the Dorset Police were there to serve and protect the landed gentry from activists protesting against illegal Foxhunting. Funny they are never around when we need them! Probably to busy having drinkies with Dickie!!!
With more dribblers than normal for such a prestigious meet, they wobbled off down the drive from the Manor at 11am.
Joined once again by our good friends Southampton Sabs, see their page for their Hit Report of the day, the Red Landy parked up at Almers Wood watching the procession leaving from the Drax Estate. Sabs that had earlier been deployed in Big Almer Wood had found a large 17 hole badger sett that was previously unknown to us. All but 0ne of the entrance holes were freshly blocked except one that showed signs of recent activity with a couple of fresh latrines so we can only hope that they had found a way out. Sabs unlocked by hand other entrances to help them find a way out.
The hunt headed North drawing through kale fields and along hedgerows, before heading east behind Middle Farm. The support who were now eagerly lined up along the green lane to the East of Great Coll Wood and when Juggers and the dogs didn’t produce what they were anticipating began to get a bit it itchy and edgy deprived of the eagerly anticipated kill, moved off to position themselves for a good view of Charlton hill Coppice. Once again the dogs didn’t pick up anything much to their disappointment.
The dogs finally went into cry at Hicksons Coppice, but sabs were there and used voice calls to lift them from the scent.
Things took a turn for the worse after this. Sabs were pushed around and followed closely by hired in knuckle draggers, who felt it was amusing to kick Sabs ankles and try and trip them up. Knuckle draggers also tried their hardest to steal the keys from our Landy and also tried and failed to get onto the back of the red landy.
Sabs in at Tarrant found yet again a large amount of blocked Badger Setts, funnily in the direction the hunt were heading but with Sabs in the area they found nothing.
From Tarrant the hunt and support headed to another old favourite, Rendezvous Plantation where they never seem to fail to “find” a a fox. With dribblers massed eagerly waiting for their promised “kill”, they were very very upset when Sabs, who were already waiting in the area, pulled the dogs off as soon as they went into cry.
By now both Landys were surrounded by quads carrying c*untrymen, knuckle draggers and the very few dribblers who were staying till the bitter end. The hunt however had headed back down into Big Coll Wood and straight toward waiting Sabs…they spent a while riding round in circles before calling it a day at 3.15!
