Why are people criticising? This was from a time before the internet and social media, a time before self-titled “experts” felt the need to criticise. These blokes were out to have a good to time and maybe take a few rabbits, not raping the countryside for all it’s worth. Their ferrets may have been a bit chunky along with their dogs but who gives a toss? They still worked. Sorry but it really pisses me off! There is a lot to learn from people like this, especially if people weren’t so quick to judge and criticise.

There's always going to be people like that. I go sea-fishing and I still get comments about my beloved pastime. Just continue doing what you enjoy. There will *always* be people like that and they're entitled to their opinions too, remember.

I knew these two lads and i was a member of the ferret club that they ran in the early 80s based in halifax ,They used to run the ferret show and racing at chatsworth game fair for several years and also at other shows in the yorkshire area.I can assure you that these gents knew the ferreting game inside out and they caught a large number of rabbits on the Bolton Abbey estate for many years.Sadly i heard that Ken had died at the early age of 49 from a heart attack

A fascinating insight into the proper way of ferret hunting and the passion involved. I remember clearly having rabbit frequently on our table and once on holiday we were given a hare. Largely disappeared off the table these days.

[@zw5509]

Used to ferret with a friend in the South of England growing up before Mixy was introduced. Rabbits are not a native species to Britain, introduced by the Romans. They were everywhere, dangerous for livestock and the landowner would pay a bounty of a penny an ear. Could buy a lot with a penny, in those days! We kept the carcass. Great show!

[@ferretingfanatics5090]

Very interesting.When I was young my dad used to cook baked rabbit with rice and baked potatoes and it was delicious.

[@dirkvandermerwe6027]

Over here in South Africa we hunt rabbits at night with a 4x4 with very bright spotlights and double barreled shotguns, and with Jack Russell's and Fox Terriers... so if anyone would love to criticize anyone let them criticize us over here - each one to him/herself - if you don't like the heat then stay out of the kitchen... Que Sera!... Regards Dirk!

[@jimgallagher5785]

[@megamollie9]

I like it, it makes me feel relaxed watching this. It relates to my own background in northern England where this was and still is normal. I did also in my youth with my terrier some rats n the odd rabbit. Im older now though and see all life in a different light. On a separate note the guy in the middle looks like Ross from Friends

[@RSR423]

Spent many many an hour with ferrets down the hole, on rabbit and rat. Remember watching these shows the time they were first on tele. Big Jack always did have a liking for country pursuits. What today's kids, and today's generation of adults don't realise, is when people from my era were growing up, there were no computers, Xboxes or Play Stations. Kids past time in bird nesting, ferreting, lamping, coursing, fishing and a load of other free, and abundant pleasures. Jesus, what the hell happened to this country, where its now illegal to hunt with a dog.

[@markvines7308]

Exactly what I did and I feel exactly the same way... only I'm in Australia and the same thing happened here.

What a great sport ferreting, had many a trip to Settle ferreting. My little Jack Russel would sniff the hole then look up to you to let you know bunny was at home. Happy days. Made my own nets to while working nights at GEC.

[@kevinadamson7571]

My dad took me ferreting when I was about five and I was hooked. Ive had ferrets most of my life but not anymore but still have the odd day out with my mate. Its not just about catching rabbits but being out in the countryside seeing the wildlife.

Lovely, lovely video. You'd never get that on TV these days. The snowflakes and animal rights activists would be fainting right , left and centre.

[@wildevixen7753]

No, not fainting, just disgusted by perverted people with no respect for wildlife. Anyone who finds the abuse of defenceless animals "lovely" needs careful watching, particularly around children. That included Jack Charlton who always gave me the impression that the reason he did not like the animals he persecuted was because he saw them as a challenge to his intellectual prowess, and judging by that perpetually clueless look on his face, he was probably right.

Nice steady dogs, no yapping. I used to love rabbiting but wouldn't hunt now, the rabbit population has crashed. I used to coarse Hare too, but again would no longer do it. I'm anti hunt, fox hunting and pheasant shooting that is, but in favour of hunting for the table. Doubt there's many folk rabbiting and kids certainly don't get out in the countryside like our generation did, so guess it's a dying art. BTW, noticed him thumbing the rabbits @ 15:00 ish, that's to push out the piss so it doesn't taint the meat. Thanks for uploading.
