Chelle is taking her pc hunting badge tomorrow on Bertie - 50% Oral & 50% ridden.

We've been looking at some of the possible questions and some of them have got us a bit foxed - 'scuse the pun.
so can anyone help?
What is meant by the following:

1.A hound opening.

2."Ware" hole/hare noise

3.All on - Does this mean all hounds are on the scent?

Ware - A huntsman's call to reprimand hounds, e.g. "Ware Riot!", "Ware Sheep!", "Ware Noise!"
Not sue about the other two.

Hound opening means 'speaking' "woof woof I should imagine!"
Ware hole as Slave to Magic says
All on means all counted, present and correct.
