9/3/2002: Landmark modified by pro-hunt group

The hunting horn is used by the Huntsman to give signals to the hounds and to the field.

The following are some of the more common calls to be heard on a drag hunt.

Gone Away - Normally one note of moderate length followed by six to eight quick notes, and repeat.

Stop Hounds - One single note of moderate length

Call hounds back to the Huntsman - One medium note, then a wail without pause.

All ON - One single short note repeated several times. This means that all hounds are accounted for. Often heard at a check and meaning that the hunt can now continue as no hounds are missing.

Going Home - A very long drawn out note.
