When I was young and had a chance to gallop and jump on a first class hunter .
The fox does not get away nearly every time .
The Fox is not an animal of stamina it cannot sustain a long run ( and the hunt takes care to stop earths where it may take refuge .
Against an entire pack of hounds -large dogs who can run for hours it has a poor chance .
