Frank ferreting at 90

[@jackiewillstorquay]

Yesterday our cycle club cycled through East Budleigh and met him - he is just amazing - he told us about his conversation with Winston Churchill - we bought some of his home grown fruit and veg - from a huge selection - Frank you really made our day - would like to see more Frank Farr please!!

[@EdTheBadass]

I like this dude :) My godfather is 93 and he too always says - move, do something and don't whine about life. He goes to his veteran meetings regurally, he walks some 2 miles to big market even though he has free retired riding ticket. Never shows any signs of pesimism or slowness in reason. Always eager to come to family meetings etc. Never let your life go away

[@thassian]

Absolutely brilliant!! A real Devonian found out about this video from his grandson down the pub on Friday night, even better than he described it. Keep on ferreting Fred you'll get the bugger!!

[@stephenjh]

Excellent! Thanks for filming this and putting it up here. "Living history" springs to mind. :-D

[@keystylebass]

Gave him a lift from the pub in Otterton to his patch in East Budleigh a month before he died.. He managed to fit in at least 7 stories in a 10 minuet journey.

[@jeremymaxwell]

Good boy Frank! You show them buggers the way home! Lord love you.

[@garrymcginley7972]

This man had it sussed. Fantastic attitude to life. Rip Frank

[@22adamrennolds]

Frank Fiddler Farr , top bloke my mum used to go out pouching with him in the 1970s .... thanks Lord Clinton !

[@danielwood3844]

That was so nice to see ferrieting the old way .none of these pricey trakers collars like you see on most ferrieting vids now and things like that .that was great to watch .all the best

[@Merocet]

How much do I love rural accents? SO MUCH. Frank seems like an awesome old man.

[@AAAGTE]

what a great guy. we need to learn from fellas like him. good on ya Fred!

[@camelsammy]

Brilliant! Please could we have some more films of Frank?

[@Dirt5o8]

Thank God for subtitles.

[@G1ngerFox]

Super old guy! "You'd better keep moving as long as you can". Sure you are!! Great guy and nice feretting!

[@QwentyJ]

Anyone else see this in the Daily Telegraph? Good on you Frank.

[@dogferret1]

Hes old enough to have ferreted before myxy came along.

[@octapusxft]

few people are that healthy in mind and body at this age to even go hunting. Awesome man

[@MRSEDDERS]

Quallity nice little film!

[@palewhiteribbon]

That is a very rustic looking ferret

[@foxy358]

good luck to him, hope im still active like that at his age, i love ferreting its a great way to spend the day. good vid well done

[@Captain.AmericaV1]

I go Rabbiting with my air rifle, but he does it the traditional way that its been done for hundreds of years, and ye, lots of respect for Frank, slapping rabbit at back of his neck and saying, "what u think of that" probably nowt cos its dead LMAoO classic, Frank ye a legand in my book fella:) keep up teh good work and keep slapping them rabbits.

[@1065kev]

what a bloke a legend

[@arltunstall]

this man is an absolute hero!!!!!!

[@starlinghunter]

I love the mans spirit!

[@Sonicozz]

What a character!

[@ImDaveCrazy]

"I got the fucker" I want to go ferreting with this guy.. Quality!!

[@iamtheCLAW]

He snapped the neck straight off with a rabbit punch, i can't think of any way more humane.

[@WindClanRulez]

Keep hunting for Britain!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Way to go frank!! 👍

[@jackssheduk]

top chap,my nippers love the fitches too.

[@foxy358]

good lad, i like to see new blood coming through, well done lad

[@GodFears]

poor old man passed away at the age of 95 he was a bloody good ferreter

[@RadioJorsch]

What a legend. Despite the thick accent, he's actually quite eloquent. Only an Englishman could get away with such behaviour. True hero.

[@denim40]

that video was awsome

[@shaunruddy3908]

Reminds me of one of my uncles, all except a roll up stuck to his lip, his ferrets were a bit nippy.

[@MrLutzy46]

what a legend good on ya mate

[@mirabilo]

He's ferrets are very tame.

[@verminhunter]

Superb.. what a man!

[@spikeydapikey1483]

What a top bloke :)

[@badboibrummy]

frank is a legend i hope im still at it at 90 :) good vid

[@annagilda1]

@danalinesmahoney haha, He's speaking English, but with a Devon Accent. i come from Devon, so it's easy for me, but i guess for other people it's hard. I never really thought about it.

[@shayclarke]

i need a ferret iv a rat in my garden will this clear it away??

[@thassian]

Frank passed away recently! A loss of a great character.

[@Grandkj]

well done frank a credit to our village

[@pegknife]

I could watch him all day eh ? I'll bet he could tell a story ,and just imagine the changes he saw ! Mostly for the worse i expect (sadly). God Bless him.

[@matthewadamwest9194]

Smashing!

[@SWATStrachan]

Keep up the good work sir :).

[@HarveyTheHunter]

yess every thing he said is soo true! and he is a legend!!

[@The_Riggs_Rage]

man at 2:17 that man looks like a badass, a ferret in his hand a smoke in his mouth and his hand deep in the hole pulling out the rabbit

[@SuperShaunyboy]

I love old people like him proper country folk so true what he said about people taking it easy and then die cos there not doing anything! How clean was that rabbit kill didn't even see it until it was dead never seen anyone break a neck that easy

[@genwoolfe]

That's a Para Regt cap badge @0.40. I bet this bloke lobbed into Normandy & Arnhem:)

[@thatsMrSmileytoyou]

What'd ya say?

[@daveyk24]

wat else can he do

[@octapusxft]

Legendary cool old man :D

[@gxhall]

proper job

[@leonken1]

lol "What you say?" pimped smacked the hell out of that rabbit.

[@danalinesmahoney]

what language is he speaking

[@m.esslinger4669]

“What you say?“ :'-))

[@EdTheBadass]

I wonder why ferreting has never been popular in my country .. We have wild ferrets (I mean historically. Nowdays you can buy one as a pet), so logically you could domesticate them. We have hare and rabits. However I have never heard anyone does ferreting.

[@mirabilo]

2:24 Karate chop!

[@kaeso100]

Great fella, nice ferrets, swift kill....but the hook use was out of order!

[@bestamerica]

how did old man hit a rabbit back neck spinebone break and quickly die

[@hypernova20]

I hope he treats the ferrets good. they did all the work...I wonder If the ferrets get paid in rabbit snacks...

[@rudyCalifornia7]

i think ill call this old man og cuz he is old school

[@Panzzer]

snapping the kneck isnt cruel it takes like 1/4 a sec but he did it so fast!!!

[@kaeso100]

@morgasm657 Haha...you are the one on the puppy-hunt fella...meet me half-way?! lol! Still think the hook is mean, lurcher or not!

[@bonstio]

Legend. 5*.

[@TheBushCrafter99]

i shall remember all my life "keep movin long as you can" thats what i will do im a 13 year old boy in the uk looking into getting a pair of ferrets and i were him i would have chased that group of people watching off with that big hook

[@travismcj]

I wish he was my grandfather

[@swamper68]

my hero...lol

[@parkarboy73]

Is it hard getting the ferrets back once they go down the hole?

[@AlexH01072011]

My mum used to know Frank before he died and we used to buy things from his fruit and veg stand )':

[@eoinodriscoll3660]

Some man

[@Rabylayla]

Fucking star !!!

[@HarveyTheHunter]

@thassian ohh noo! well rip frank he was a bit of a inspiration i must say!!

[@yabodmon]

what a cool grandpa lol..WHAT U SAY ? LMAO

[@pedro550]

Reminds me of hot fuzz!

[@kaeso100]

@morgasm657 He could have done either or both, but he didn't, and his freezer is full of game anyway in my opinion! If that bunny received wounds from that hook, it may well have died a long, painful death. Hunters always tell me that the 'prey' dies quickly and humanely....not the always the case! You know that....

[@jaymkay]

he fucken broked a poor bunnys head ad he cut him open

[@mjty250]

ace keep goin

[@foxy358]

good old boy, these days, things are changing so fast in Britain what with the mass immigration thats going on, that these old sports and traditions are in decline. were losing our identity as British people. keep on hunting for ever , keep the tradition going for Franks sake

[@HarveyTheHunter]

@stdavid123 calm down mate! so y did u say i should know i had ferrets? i mean keeping a ferret as a pet if diffrent to working them! so you wont know!

[@patty1994_]

😃😱😭😭

[@Brolis]

good skills, i like it (y) bahuras- senis

[@stevenchapman1963]

i take my hat of to frank fereting at his age its a good fun way of life renembre support game meat

[@Marxm22]

@NoRSoMaN he looks more liek a badass when he just chopps the rabbit haha

[@antoska1000]

what a violence!!!! :)

[@HarveyTheHunter]

@stdavid123 shut up! hes amazing and at least hes keeping him self fit and healthy!

[@scatteredreams]

unfortunately theres no way to make killing uncruel or less cruel. killing is killing and some people have to do it

[@Celtic_Iron]

Its a bit of a pity that hes killing tadines went out there last week and panched a doe fullof young .....not goin til september again

[@TheOtherFifthBeatle]

How about you just don't watch and let people that do want to see it enjoy it?

[@Theawesomeaveragereviewer]

So where are all the anti-Michael Vick people?

[@sriontube]

I wish he will be a rabbit in next life....

[@Gunnarsguns]

Oh shit!....hes smoking....better tell him its bad for his health! You would think a 90 yo man would know better

[@john2555]

poor rabits :|

[@Jurgen074]

Lmfoa at 2:24 wish he was my grandpa i got ferrets now but i dont have a the license to hunt with them or else i get a fine of €500,- but yeah i give my ferrets wild mouse feeder mouses and if i could i would give them rabbits and rats but my ferrets chased some ferrets and there smell moved them out so thehy wont come back unless i sell my ferrets what will never happen :P

[@joshky9139]

I don't think the dog should be shot it the owner who can't look after it the dog dunt know any better

[@kaeso100]

@morgasm657 Using man-made weapons and domesticated animals that rely on a human caretaker is not nature. While a 'natural' death may cause suffering, a prolonged and painful death at the hands of human involvement is just unacceptable. In order o reduce 'pest' rabbit populations, stop hunting their natural predators makes sense to me...?! Hope the pup is doing well!
