What does run of the house mean?

Often the hare will employ several tricks in attempts to slow the pack and even generally try to keep a pack consisting of runners and walkers together. The hare may mark an intersection generally called a 'check' that signifies that the trail continues within a 360 degree area from that point. Several false trails may lead from that check and it is up to the front runners to 'solve' the trail by going out and determining what might actually be the correct path, or 'true trail'. Once the true way has been determined then that runner may mark the check to indicate the proper direction so that anyone to come up it later (such as the walker, other runners, or anyone arriving late) will not have to figure it out all over again. The pack will generally carry whistles, horns, or other audible means of communicating in order to assist each other on trail and keep from getting lost. A member of the pack calling out 'Are you?' means to know if another individual is searching for the true trail, typically near a check (or intersection), or is on the correct path. Someone will typically call out either 'Checking!' to indicate that they are looking for the trail or 'On-On', or blow their whistle or horn three times, to signify that they are on the true trail and that the pack should follow them.
