HIT REPORT - Iveagh Foxhounds - 23/11/24
After the storm in the early hours, we didn't think Iveagh would brave coming out, and they didn't until well after 2PM.
They set up camp in Scarva and set off in the direction of the Loughbrickland Road and surrounding areas.
We received a message from SEVERAL upset residents who were rightfully concerned about their animals. Our team bounced out the door.
Due to the violent nature of this hunt, we cannot go on the ground without large numbers present - so we’re very thankful to the local community.
When we first arrived on scene, the hunt's followers were scrambling to keep up. It soon became clear that the hunt were being chased from every bit of land they trespassed on!
We put our drone up in the area and found that they were heading Scarva-bound again, so jumped back in our vehicle and followed on. We discovered them on the Loughbrickland Road once again and spoke to a resident who had only just told them to "get to f***!" - and some even bit off more than they could chew with certain landowners.
The small grouping split off and decided to call it a day. We followed them onto Main Street in Scarva and watched as a little old lady gave them abuse whilst they were loading up! We had some words ourselves! Thank you, you lovely wee darling!
We watched from our drone as they packed up and left. Always watching.
We thank the community of the greater Scarva area for telling these scumbags that they aren't welcome. We are glad to have provided some assistance, although it seems we weren't really needed! Community resistance is the best resistance!
Until next week!
AirFox1 made its maiden flight today.
We can’t wait to deploy this bad boy in the field! 🦊
A massive thank you to all who helped us reach our goal. This piece of kit will prove invaluable to our team. 🐾
