Faux hunting
Dec. 11th, 2008 11:48 amApparently, in some modern incarnations of the traditional fox hunt, dummies made
to look like beagles are being used to flush out the quarry, thereby cutting down on
the number of real dogs needed. However, the foxes quickly figure out that these
decoys are nothing to be afraid of, and stop responding to them. Through further
research, though, it was determined that simply adding large curly-haired wigs to
the dummy beagles would, for some reason, make them absolutely terrifying to
the foxes.
Hence, the need for faux fox foe faux 'fros.
