Foxhunting in the Tampa Bay Area Most people do not realize there is a fox hunting club in the Tampa Bay area. With their kennels located in Dade City, South Creek Foxhounds has members who reside in Pasco, Hillsborough and Manatee counties. Mounted on their horses, members and guests follow Professional Huntsman Sarah Sears and her hounds across the countryside searching for coyotes to chase. Coyotes are extremely fast and the chase is on! Generally, horses and hounds run out of energy (or property) and the quick and clever coyote escapes leaving hounds, horses and humans in the dust. South Creek Foxhounds has been in existence since 1965. Guests are welcome to join a hunt by paying a “capping fee.” Learn more about South Creek Foxhounds by visiting their website at www.SouthCreekFoxhounds.com or by contacting one of the Joint Masters, Vicki Reeves at vicki@tbaylaw.com.
