Iirc my grandfather stopped the local hunt crossing his land, mostly due to them being a massive bunch of cunts who knacker the hedges, litter everywhere and leave gates open.
They keep horses, do point to points and grandad is as much a gun-toting farmer as the next guy but that's still a mile away from dressing like a twat specifically to take pleasure in ripping animals apart.

One of my colleagues is deeply pro hunt(also well into deer stalking for food), we had a proper good debate yesterday and although I am completely fine with him filling his freezer he couldn't justify mounted hunt beyond 'because tradition' but catagorically refused to accept it was cruel in any way at all :/

Do "the hunt" have any right to swan across people's land in pursuit or do they have to ask permission first? Surely they cover great distances on their epic conquests to kill foxes.

They don't have a right - they (in an ideal world) get the landowners permission in advance and cooperate with them. Those few who do charge around willy-nilly as if they're entitled to be there give the majority of hunts a bad name.
