They would size up the Lamb that caught their eye, take time to observe and once they were in the perfect position. Corner it so that it could not escape. To sink deep into warm meat for the first time. Staining the grass with sweat and blood. As you taste the perfume of excitement, fear and adrenaline in the air. It's quite the transcendent experience.
Hounds don't harm the Lambs anymore but...
The traditions of the past have not vanished if you look closely enough.
On a more legal sense. Hounds are free to entertain themselves with the Lambs. The Petting Zoos for example caters to those visiting the country with very well trained Lambs that come from good stock. But for a cheaper ticket, it does also provide more normal services and educational resources. The Boy went for the latter, and he learned many good things about them.
If it's possible, the experts do suggest your first Hunt to be with a Pet you own.
Although they won't have the training and quality of the ones you can pay per hour with, the bonds you share and the memories you make are far more valuable in the long run. As one last remark. Some Hounds find it quite poetic that the Lambs almost never stop smiling. Even when bracing against wind and rain, but they do let it drop in their most pleasurable of moments. The irony is not lost on some.
