Just subbed pal I shoot; but I'm getting drawn into this ferret and terrier stuff, looks really interesting. There's another channel 'Fur Feather & Fin' that I've also started to watch, a young bloke out with his old fella a lot. He flys the birds too, a hawk. Lol... reading the comments, you've got plenty of 'experts' telling you what you 'need' to do... it's the same with shooting 😂 always somebody sat in a chair at home telling the lad in the field what he's doing wrong 😂. Take care fella.👍

@@ruralpestcontrol Yea ferrets are more docile whereas minks were never domesticated as pets. Definitely not for the uncommitted but I think they can be just as fulfilling as a hunting companion maybe even more so because they're a more efficient hunter than a ferret, being that they're still wild animals but yea if you're just wanting a pet the ferret is definitely the way to go, they're much easier to handle and a lot less work. I had a cutie when I was a kid and she was a wonderful pet, shame she only lived for 7 yrs but that's pretty normal for them 😞, never took her hunting tho. Very interesting. I'd definitely think about getting another ferret. I love all the mustelids really, always have. Fascinating creatures.

enjoyed the video, not trying to tell you how to do your job but i would of split that 100yds of long net with a few stop nets ,stops the rabbits running the full length of the hedge hole hopping

Does anyone eat the rabbits? Having watched some videos I see the ferrets seem to get the killing done quickly. It looked so barbaric to me, but poison must be pretty awful.

@@gabbirae7274 ferrets don't tend to kill them. They basically scare the rabbit out of it warren into a net. Once caught in the net the rabbit is dispatched by either it's neck broke or a blow to the back of its head. If a ferret does kill a rabbit it's usually because the rabbit refuses to leave the warren and I don't dig it out in time. All rabbits that are caught, are eaten by my ferrets or sold to a butcher, none are wasted. I have a large chest freezer to keep them in.

Add a couple of gate nets in the hedge to catch the ones hole hoping
