Interview questions
·      What is the history of the Bloodhounds?

·      Has the ban affected your business?
·      What are your experiences with ‘Anti’s’
·      What is the life of the hounds?
·      How would you describe country life?

Outcome

Although I really enjoyed visiting the Bloodhounds and learning about drag hunting, unfortunately while interviewing him, it seems that there isn’t much of a story behind clean boot. Apart from the life of a hound there’s not much else to be said about Bloodhounds. However, it wasn’t a complete waste of time, listening back to the footage it seems that the wind was too strong for the wind making the tracks noisy, which means that next time I will need pop shields for the microphones to give them some protection from the wind, Also the interviewing was good practice for the next time when it counts.
