Sure! :D
Curdog - A dog which is not a hound.
Blank - A foxless day
Cap - The amount you pay for a days hunting extra to the subscription of the hunt.
Check - A check in the hunt is caused in the temporary loss of the scent.
Cast - What hounds do at a check. It is the action of seeking to recover the line they have been hunting.
Draw - Where hounds enter a covert and look for a fox.
Earth - A foxes burrow
Full Cry - When all hounds are speaking together.
Holloa - (Pronounced Helloa :D) the long drawn out screech denoting the departure of the fox from the covert.
Couple - Hounds are always counted in pairs and there is always a half couple for luck.
Mark - When hounds hunt a fox into it's den.
Den - Where a fox lives.
Point - The point of a hunt is the longest distance in a straight line. This starts from where the fox leaves the covert to where it goes to ground.
Tally Ho What we say when a fox leaves a covert.
Whipper-in - The Huntsman's assistant
Field Master - The person who the field follows and listens to at all times.
Hope that was helpful to some people :)

Brilliant thank you.
Shall never remember them all though. Maybe I should write them down, though producing a piece of paper at full gallop so I can work out what they shouted may not be the best idea.

*Hound on the left/right* - to be shouted/heeded when a spare hound (or more than one!) comes through the field from behind - get your horse out of the way and let it pass!
*Good Evening* What you bid your fieldmaster, Hunt sec and fellow hunters, foot followers, whoever (!) when you leave, regardless of the time of day
If you see someone with their hand behind their back when you are, for example, lining up to pass through a narrow space, they are alerting you to the fact their horse may kick
* 'ware* simply means BEWARE!

They are very useful terms when dealing with the Hunting Fraternity and their ilk.

'too warm for scentin' - the air next the ground is too warm and the scent has risen off the ground and is above 'nose height', generally if a rider can smell the 'aniseed' then the hounds can't.
'too cold for scentin' - the cold air has pushed the scent into the sward/bracken/heather and the hounds have difficulty smelling it!
'hounds please' - hounds and master need to get through so turn your horse to face them... never away, you'd get such a bo****king if your horse kicked a hound/master/masters horse.

Hi Bessy
Don't know the Mendip's arrangements, but try to contact the master(s) or hunt secretary as a courtesy prior to turning up at a meet, of if you know someone who hunts with them regularly perhaps that person would allow you to accompany and 'shadow' them? I've ridden with the Mendip a couple of times a few years ago and found them quite friendly then, so hopefully they will still be now - from personal experience most are welcoming to new faces.

Surely this is field money? A cap is what a non-subscriber pays for a days hunting.
