FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THE FIELD

 

(1) On moving off to draw do not crowd hounds and officials. Keep together and keep quiet. Only one cottontail is wanted, and a spreadout field is likely to put up several. Spread out only when requested to do so.

 

(2) When hounds check during a hunt, stop at once and give them and the huntsman plenty of room to cast and, above all, keep quiet.

 

(3) Do not view-holloa a rabbit during a run.

 

(4) Do not run immediately behind hounds on a bad scent, and always give them at least 100 yards. Pressing causes hounds to overrun the line.

 

(5) If at the end of a hunt you view the beaten cottontail and hounds are at fault, do not holloa. Hold up your hat only. If hounds get their heads up at this state, the hunt is irretrievably ruined.

 

(6) If ever in doubt, remember: "Silence is Golden."

 

(7) Dogs on appropriate leads are allowed.

 

(8) When a rabbit or hounds come close by, stand still and hold conversation until later.
