Can I ask any pro hunting people what the point of a hunt is?

I have seen numerous articles saying how hunts have gone out but not caught a fox, yet the argument always seems to be that a ban will cause people to lose their livelihoods. If people are financially dependant on hunting who pays them? the famers wouldn't as the success rate is shocking. Surely the people who go hunting can just as easily go riding and muzzle the dogs so that a good day out can be had anyway, without the need to rip an animal to shreds.
