Description Coming soon
Primal Fox Hunts
(Service Donated by Indianapolis Primals)
Let the trumpets sound and release the hounds - the Fox Hunt begins! As night falls, the forest will come alive with the sounds of prey, humans and animals alike, leaping and scurrying across the land. Fleeing from the ones that want to capture them. Cross over to the wild side and embrace the thrill of the chase. The Hunt begins!
All humans and animals are welcome! Two hunts are scheduled this year - the Day Hunt and the Night Hunt. Both hunts will begin with a discussion of the rules and risks. If you are participating in a hunt, this discussion is mandatory for both hunters and hunted. It is very important to arrive on time to ensure you attend the entire briefing! There will be the option to ask questions as well.
The Night Hunt is a higher risk activity. This is recommended for experienced players. The Day Hunt is more suitable for those wanting to experience the hunt in a more controlled environment.
Please understand that both versions of the Fox Hunts are a RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink) Event and responsibility will be taken by those involved. Glow Sticks will be provided for the Night Hunt Saturday evening after the Awards Ceremony.
