About North Country Hounds

North Country Hounds was founded in 1983 as a drag hunt. During the early years, we hunted in Lyme NH, Woodstock VT, Thetford VT, and Etna NH. In 1986 the hounds were relocated from Thetford to the Master's Culver Hill Farm in Lyme, NH. This transition ushered in live hunting, which introduced an entirely new dimension to our sport and changed the way staff was deployed around the countryside to follow hounds.

The kennels were moved again in 2001, and the hounds were located in the heart of Windsor County's horse country for 20 years. In 2021, we moved the kennels again. 

We will be roading and hunting on Wednesday and Sunday mornings in S. Woodstock VT, W. Windsor VT, Strafford VT, Tunbridge VT, and Lyme NH. We recognize the generosity of the many landowners who allow us the privilege of riding over their property, and we must always remember that we are guests of the property owners. Our goal is to leave the country as undisturbed as possible.

We welcome all guests who may sign up online or contact the Hunt Secretary in advance to arrange to hunt with us. Guests should also avail themselves of the section on Hunting with North Country Hounds if they are not familiar with foxhunting. Donations to the hunt are always welcome from any interested parties. Any donation above $150 will automatically register you as a social member of the hunt and be a great help to us. You can send a check to David Wilson.
