Foot Harriers

The Irish Foot Harriers Association has the biggest membership, with one hundred and twenty-nine packs of hounds. Most people think of hunting as the preserve of mounted followers, but in Ireland, far and away the greatest numbers of hunting enthusiasts follow on foot and do so with great passion and commitment to the sport. Foot harrier packs hunt hares and foxes. This sport is particularly popular in the most southerly counties, with more than forty packs registered in Co. Cork alone. Many hunt clubs are based in cities and towns and consequently restrict their hunting days to the weekends. The hunting season runs from August to March.
