Ferreting, a Record Day
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Rabbits are a resourceful species. If they have a pocket of land on which to build a warren and there’s a consistent food source, then before you have time to turn into Mr McGregor, they quickly become self-sufficient. Add to that a little disturbance and predation, and bingo, you have the recipe for a flourishing rabbit utopia. These pockets are rare in southern England but every now and then I stumble across one. Last November, one such venue presented itself but it quickly became clear that an operation to remove the rabbits would be physically and mentally testing, involving long hours of hard graft in unforgiving weather and a lack of quality sleep.

Amazing, well trained team work with Humans, Dogs and Ferrets doing what comes naturally.
These dogs are amazingly well trained, cheers to the trainers!
I love that these guys just walk around with an armfull of fur noodles
That is one hell of a ferreting operation there! I have to say ferritin is one of the most amazing sports and methods of pest control I’ve ever been a part of
My late uncle used this method and described it, so it is wonderful to see the process in action. The dogs look like they are having the time of their life.
Lovely video!! I am Dutch and I really enjoyed it Awesome fast dogs you guys have I just subbed!!
superb vid Well done lads. love watching the videos. just hope that there is another SW waiting in the wings to take over in the future when Mr W retires. but looking at his pace in dungarees it's a long time yet, thankfully
Love those ferrets and dogs
Another great video! Keep the work up...
Beautiful Bella!

That's awesome. I know some falconers use too talk about using ferrets to flush out game for the hawks to catch
You earnt those rabbits lads!.

Love seeing vids like this were you can sit a watch the dogs and ferrets working and I also love working my own ferrets. My record is a 144 rabbits in one day off an old disused railway bank.

Excellent video. you are providing a valuable service. What do you do with all those rabbits?
What are the names of the dogs and the ferrets? How are the ferrets housed and are they vicious with people? In Queensland it is illegal to keep rabbits or ferrets. The introduced wild rabbit population was almost wiped out, but there are some about now.
Great to see 👍

B-b-but it's duck hunting season !

Все грамотно сделано, только я бы посоветовал для таких внештатных ситуаций приобрести "ручной земляной бур" - быстрее и легче откапывать будете.

Lovely video! Thanks for posting, can I please ask those more experienced than me a question? I've been into hunting for years now grew up around it. Air rifle and shotgun,but I'm thinking of getting a lurcher. I'm a smallish woman and any wounded rabbits (which is very rare thankfully only had a few in mainly with the .410 as I don't like taking anything but headshots with the airgun which is sub 12ft lb) have been dealt with by my shooting partner my dad, who has taught me the since I was 12 now I'm nearing 30! I've been wanting to get a lurcher for a while Ive been told lurchers, a lot of the time bring rabbits back alive ( my experience with dogs is limited to terriers ratting and spaniels flushing and fetching) I've been shown how to dispatch them by breaking the neck, but I'm worried I'll get it wrong, and hurt them not dispatch humanly. Would a 6ft lb air pistol do the job at close range? Or should Iearn to break the neck? Any advice throughout appreciated! And sorry for all the questions! Good luck hunting all!

Hi Bexs, just get someone to teach you how to nech or chin the rabbits. Once you've got the technique sorted, it really doesn't take much strength to do it. That said, not all lurchers retrieve live to hand.. 👍
