This I feel is a question that must be put to the fox hunters and followers in Cheshire.
I have worked in the Crowton area for the last 10 years, so seeing the hunt to me is not unusual.
That was until January 27 when I saw a traditionally dressed huntsman on his well groomed mount, apparently co-ordinating the hunt with two way radios.
I must point out that from every fox hunting debate I have listened to, the hunt's biggest arguments are tradition and fair game.
To me the use of 20th century technology in an old traditional sport indicates that this is no longer the case.
With the millennium fast approaching could the next step in fox hunting be the use of thermal imaging cameras?
