I have not fox hunted yet, but this is routine manners for the group I like to
train with, leader warns of trail hazards and points out with the arm on the
hazard side.  Also, calls out the turn, and extends the arm like a turn
signal.  "Duck" for low-hanging branches... and don't forget to identify
wildlife sightings: "Deer at 2 o'clock!"  It's so much fun with 5 or 6 people
going at a nice clip taking turns being in front or dragging behind.
