Drag hunting is a sport in which a group of dogs(usually foxhounds or beagles) chase a scent that has been laid(dragged) over a terrain before the hunt. The scent, usually a combination of aniseed oils and possibly animal meats, is dragged along the terrain by a volunteer for any distance up to several miles to a designated finish line before the hounds are released at the start line by their owners. The hound first crossing the finish line wins the race. 5, record 1, English, - drag%20hunt

Les équipages anglais, au lieu d'enfreindre la loi, se sont adaptés en organisant des chasses fictives. En effet les habitudes de sortie dans la campagne sont ainsimaintenues; les cavaliers donnent à la meute un autre objectif : suivre une trace olfactive pour débusquer non pas un animal terrorisé mais un leurre. Certains habitués de cette pratique alternative, bien installée en divers pays qui ont renoncé à la chasse à courre depuis plus ou moins longtemps, imaginent des parcours nécessitant une grande maîtrise des obstacles et méritent alors le titre de sportifs. 4, record 1, French, - chasse%20fictive
