Using Ferrets To Catch Rabbits, And How To Process Ready To Cook And Eat

[@etarheel1]

Thank you for teaching these skills that are sadly being lost. Give a big hug to little apprentice from North Carolina, USA!

[@butcherbennytee1983]

Cheers mate, no problem.

[@peteacher52]

"Waste not, want not!" It took me years to appreciate the truth of that old saying. There is much of what we trap and shoot that could, with some learning, be eaten.

Amazing rabbit catching skills! I have never seen this technique before, and it's interesting that the rabbit hops out before the ferret. Clever indeed! I'm a total beginner when it comes to skinny and processing any kind of meat, and I've considered starting with rabbits because they're small, and would give me more confidence. Thanks for your practical butchering lessons. 👏

[@butcherbennytee1983]

Yes it's a pretty fun past time, rabbit would be a great starting point for processing. Good luck. Cheers👍

Thankyou 👍

[@jameswatters9592]

Takes me back awhile, always found that mid back cut the best, cheers Benny

[@mikehenry5961]

Great vid. I use the second technique you showed with a slight variation of standing on front legs and pulling the skin up and vice versa standing on the back legs. No ferrets though, just a 22.

[@thomaskopunye-ou1ut]

Thank you mate. Very informative and entertaining. And thank you for the apprentice.

[@butcherbennytee1983]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@martyk7914]

:) same as my lad, disappears when the fun stuff is over.... great videos Benny.

[@butcherbennytee1983]

😂 yep! Thanks mate

[@JustOneKnight]

😊👍 For my grandparents rabbits were a staple meal during the war years. For me as a kid it was a skill my grandparents wanted me to know even though i was a girl and my job would be to cook i had to know how to catch the dinner too. My uncle had ferrets and used them I wasnt allowed near them. I showed my kids these skills and sadly I cant show my grandkids because family farm was sold, and we dont know anyone with farm land anymore. We trapped rabbits, traps are now illegal to use. How things change. Thanks for this video.

[@butcherbennytee1983]

No problems, yep I've done all that. Unfortunately it's a skill that will probably be lost through the ages.

[@mkh7682]

Nice 🙏🏻

[@butcherbennytee1983]

Thank you 🙌

[@trini-rt6xn]

Oh, I forgot to ask one more thing. Where are the glands located on sheep? Usually, I just share a lamb leg or two with friends, but I never thought about removing glands before sharing the meat. Thanks for any advice.

[@butcherbennytee1983]

I'll get a video up soon to point out all the glands that need to be removed👍

@@butcherbennytee1983 Thanks sincerely mate. Best always.

[@markshaw2439]

Great video mate. I’ve switched to nylon purse nets with better results 👍

[@bryansilcox9590]

Spun Polly is great for purse nets

[@ilikesundays4312]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

[@zoubirsehili4982]

Very helpful 👍

[@mikecatherine3224]

Awesome, is there much you need to do to train the ferrets?

[@tonynapoli5549]

Just subscribed to your channel mate , as fellow ferreting man and hunter this is one of the best video I’ve seen in a long time. Yes very tutorial for new comers, my method of cleaning is the cut half way down on the rabbits back quick and easy. The heads and livers etc my dog and ferrets have. Oh I see you don’t use ferret locators ! Well to be honest i don’t never have. Till the next one .

[@paulcoxon2134]

Brilliant video went on Sunday 27 rabbits some butchers can't get rabbits

[@HOMESTEAD_AUS]

hey mate where did you get uor live cage from?

[@butcherbennytee1983]

Picked them up at a garage sale.

[@robinboucherwonderfulflight]

Amazing, thank you for posting this. Do ferrets naturally not get along with rabbits? Thanks again

[@butcherbennytee1983]

Thanks. Yes it's just natural instinct for ferrets to want to hunt rabbits.

[@cainobaggins]

You haven't moved that fast since under 18s footy. Good vid Benny - hard to find good apprentices these days :)

[@butcherbennytee1983]

😂 Cheers mate

[@alienscientist8893]

So many questions mate,, like I've only got 1 ferret,, is that going to work,, also how do you get the ferrets back?? Thanks mate really good vid..

[@armandofrancogarcia1217]

Buenos días. Muy interesante su video, jamás había visto algo así. Me gustaría tener la oportunidad de hacerlo y comerlo, nunca he comido conejo. Muchas gracias. ¿Que hace con la piel del conejo?

[@AcousticKitty]

I WAS LOOKING FOR THE VIDEOS OF THE CUTE FERRET IN THE CHEFS HAT FROM TIKTOK

Checking the eyes and organs for mixamatosis.

[@MrCites1]

We don’t get rabbits like that anymore in the south east. In the 80’s and 90’s you could ferret 100 easy, now there’s not even warrens.

[@butcherbennytee1983]

They're pretty patchy these days, they come and go pretty fast.
