In the eyes of who Brian?? In recent pics iv seen most are wearing jeans, shorts or fleece hunting pants. As for the tradition of the "hunt" , we dont have foxes so its not traditional at all.

to types Wirehunt , pigeon ones are real tame and to be truthful the live game ones are not far behind and certainly no bush bashing that's for sure -a hard walk at best

ElB your earlier posts inferred that in the past people DID dress up for the occasion and that is what Pointer was saying was incorrect.

Well they don't wanna come down here then for a hunt. Jeans, fucking shit, polarfleece, fucking shit.

In the eyes of new people that may want to take on a sport with a little difference in dress code also -just my personal thoughts .As for the hunt tradition -1886 Timaru says differently

ALL YOURS: The hounds and riders gather at a farm house near Timaru in readiness for the hunt (circa 1886

is this when the queen was down here for a visit?

Still a very active hunt club down here, hounds and all. They have a new hunt master coming from pomeland who must almost be here by now.

I'd hardly say wool clothes were a tradition, rather cotton and wool was available

One could equally argue that the traditional method of transport to the hunting grounds was by foot or horse. Are you going to stop using the disco when you go hunting?

Id love to go by horse !!!!! thatd be fricken awesome
