Gun control in the UK is pretty strong, but in the countryside there's still plenty of hunting using shotguns - pheasants mainly. Hunting foxes using hounds is now outlawed, at least it's now illegal for the dogs to kill the foxes. Instead a trained marksman with a rifle kills the foxes, after the dogs have found them. Stupid law, but it was mainly made to appease those in the towns with no clue of how a hunt actually works anyway.
