Ferreting 13 (5 ferrets, 100 yard long net, and a crazy spaniel 😂)

- A morning out on a new permission.
Decided to try the longnets down one side of a hedge and a few purse nets down the other side where there was rabbit wire.
Bramble was with us again and for the first time off lead the whole morning. Which was great to see her actually concentrate on what we were doing and what I want her to do.
It makes it more special now that I can trust her not to disappear over the hill chasing some bird or other scent 😂😂
She really is starting to come into her own.
It was also great to give a couple of the young ferrets a go and just to let them wander round a big warren without a lot of nets to disturb.
If you are interested in buying a long net setup from Mark, who I bought mine from, here is a link to his ebay shop. He also sells purse nets, carry boxes, game bags and a whole host of other gear.

She use to hate being in the car, now she can't get enough 🤣🤣
Great video mate. Loved brambles camera work . We need a few frosts to kill the nettles
Cheers mate, yeah we could do with a decent winter for once 👍
Another cracking video mate keep up the good work
Thanks 👍
Love the video
Thanks 👍
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.👍
Thanks, yeah 90% of the comments are all good but there's always someone that knows better 😂
Aww the ferrets are so cute, they do a good job. I do like hunting with mink just a little bit more tho, the mink are brutal but ferrets are good too. Cool vid
Thanks 👍
Yeah mink are like a bigger version of a ferret. Certainly wouldn't want to be bit by one 😂
@@ruralpestcontrol yea I'm in the states so the mink hunting is more a thing here but yea their bites are no joke and I also would not like to be on the biting end lol
@@karynsztabaluk1479 let's stick to ferrets then 👍
@@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.
Les Nelson is your main man for nets much better than mark bell and a lot more knowledgeable been at it probably 40+ years top guy 👍 love your uploads keep up the great work and your dog is a beaut 👌
Thanks 👍 I've never bought anything from Les so I wouldn't know. I mentioned mark cause thats who I bought this setup from.
@@ruralpestcontrol I've heard good and bad reviews about rabbit fever but then again you will get that with them all, all that matters your happy with the product your buying and its quality 👍 I might nip out later as am of work today if not I'll be definitely out at the weekend 😁 post up on the Facebook page ferreting its our way of life top lads 👍
@@rsturb01984 enjoy if you do get out 👍
Just mentioned you in a comment on the holistic ferret Facebook page because someone posted a ferreting haul and I’m so jealous of you all for being able to do this. 😭 My inbred Marshall ferrets (I’m from the US) could never. 😩 (I love them dearly though.)
I won't be able to see it on Facebook unless it's an open group.
I know what you mean about Marshall ferrets I've heard and read a lot about them 😔
@@ruralpestcontrol Yeah it’s a closed group but with your feeding you should be able to fit in no problem. 💛 But Marshall’s is sad. I love my boys so much. But I’m just waiting for inevitable adrenal problems. :( Will get the implant as soon and we can commit financially. Xx
@@MegannnM7 I've had no Facebook notifications so I guess I won't see any of it on there. Good luck with your stinkers 👍
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
I would if I had any 👍
Add a couple of gate nets in the hedge to catch the ones hole hoping
I need to get some stop nets 👍
So I love critters and I'm here to learn about this style of pest control in hopes I'm not so bothered by it.
What would you like to know ?
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.
👍😊
Just subscribed buddy👌
Welcome aboard!
Where did you get the spade from bud looks to have a long shaft
yeah its about 3 or 4 foot long. I've had it about 20 years lol I bought it from a agriculture hardware store in malton called yates. best spade I've ever had 👍
I'm looking a MK3 battery cover can you help
No sorry, only thing I can suggest is eBay
Paul Coxon pest control over and out
Keep talking to a minimum strict policy when I'm ferreting 👍
Makes no difference 👍
Hi mate got 2 hobs 1 16 month silver called Spirit 1 17 months old Albino called Ghost been down hole not bolted anything i need them to work and be looked after was wondering if you would take them on they are freindley and castrated my health as just gone bad
Sorry to hear about your health, but I don't have the space for two more hob's.
@@ruralpestcontrol ok mate thanks anyway all the best
Awh, lazy little guy wasn't interested in hunting 😂, just out of curiosity are ferret trackers any good for distance or just straight down?
They will search up to 16 feet in all directions.
@@ruralpestcontrol ah OK, what make is it?
@@hatz5125 it's a Deben MK3m
@@ruralpestcontrolthanks a million👍
@@hatz5125 no worries 👍
What's the rabbit population up your end..this vh disease deadly.been hit hard down south..hardly see a dead one on the road
There's very little rabbits around here, more hares now. We have a lot more buzzards and kites than there's ever been to. I've packed in with the ferrets now. Not been out with them for 3 years this December.
@@ruralpestcontrol IAM the same probably the last 8years not had ferrets..over run with fallow deer herds of 200strong and ring neck parakeet's..walk the fields and there baron..just nothing about..never seen it so bad
@@petergates8570 they'll come back they always do. Too many apex predators. Typical food chain scenario 🤷♂️
@@ruralpestcontrol like I've said in the last 8to 10years it's just been getting worse.you use to get a bubblyng of baby rabbits in the summer and I'd think gonna hav better season then come winter time nothing around..you don't even see many youngsters around..I don't understand this new disease..how these rabbits contract the disease dead in 24 to 48hours but die underground..
@@petergates8570 yeah it's some sort of virus thats come over here from the continent. They'll become immune to it eventually like they did with mixy
Ur hair got all dirty after that dig 🙈
If only 😂😂
Waste of time long netting hedge rows mate they just run along the hedge and go back down another hole most of the time so i always purse net hedges
It certainly looks that way mate, will need some cold weather to knock the growth back a bit first before I purse net all that 👍
@@ruralpestcontrol didnt look to bad get the strimmer out on it or buy a nettle wacker stick
@@motohunter2390 I'll let the land owners do that 😂
How do you bolt anything with all the shouting and talking going on!
It's up to the rabbits if they want to bolt
