Its like wanting to ban streaming TV because some people abuse it to watch stuff illegally.

For me there is no need for trail hunting to exist anymore. Trail hunting keeps the dogs following animal scents. Although I can see why this would have been helpful for dogs already trained at the point of the ban, there isn't a need for it now.
Drag hunting was already a thing before the fox hunting ban but doesn't use an animal scent and from my understanding rarely ends up with the dogs going after animals.

So if the argument is about the historical traditions and social aspects of the hunts rather than the animals bring chased, then drag hunting achieves those aims.
