Ferreting, evicting rabbits from some old Suffolk Oaks

  • Опубликовано: 5 сен 2013
  • Evicting stubborn rabbits from Oak trees would either be straightforward or the hardest few hours' ferreting of the year, and I was armed with just my ageing lurcher Millie, some over-summered ferrets and a few long-nets.
    Rabbits aren't stupid, and they haven't bred survivors for more than 900 years by pure chance; their DNA is ingrained with an unnerving ability to know instinctively where to build a fortress-like home. And one problem with ferreting trees in the middle of a large field is that the area may not necessarily be their main residence; it may be just a safe sanctuary halfway between a food source and their home.
    As this was my first outing for a while, I fitted my ferret finder with new batteries - both in the receiver and the transmitter collars. Once I had fixed the collars on the ferrets, which were keeping cool in an air-conditioned carrying box, I set about encircling the warren with a few small stop-nets joined together. I soon had the area around the large tree surrounded by a sea of orange-and-yellow netting. One hole stuck out among the roots, so I also placed a purse-net, just in case.
    This time-honoured method of ferreting is hard to beat. Being at one with nature, morphing into one's surroundings and pitting one's wits against one of Mother Nature's greatest survivors.
    After quickly checking that their collars were switched on, I placed a solitary albino under the roots and stood back. Minutes passed without movement, but not wanting to dive in prematurely with a spade, I entered a smallish sandy jill ferret to help out. This did the trick, as almost immediately a bolting rabbit careered into the bright yellow net.

    WELL DONE VERY PROFESSIONAL, you showed me that you know exactly what you are doing and finished the rabbits off quickly and cleanly without any suffering.
    Keep up the good work and lets see more videos on ferreting with long nets and purse nets.

    Same as the Yorkshire video. The twitching is the nervous system shutting down after being humanely and efficiently despatched. Thanks for watching I hope this clears the issue up.

      i love the concept of "humanely dispatching"
      would you like to be humanely dispatched ?
      stop sugar coating it. He's killing pests. Death isn't wrong. death is life. all living things kill to stay alive. there's no good or bad way to die. just death.
      do you want to be humanely dispatched ? if no, then there's no such thing as "humanely dispatching" someone (and animals, just as you are, are someone)

    im literally sick of all the bad comments, if your vegetarian don't watch these vids, if you eat meat and don't like it then quite frankly you should be ashamed, at least the rabbits have had a free natural life, and they are pests, better being put to use then just gassed in their holes. I suppose most of the comments are from people who live in city's or towns who have no idea about were their meat comes from. sorry for the moaning guys :(

    Not exactly something I'd get a kick out of, but hey, from the rabbit's perspective it's no worse than being killed by a fox. That, and ferrets are just plain cool..

    • @sheep1ewe
      @sheep1ewe 3 года назад

      Yes, it is in fact more humane than the foxes usualy do.

    • @davidbass6780
      @davidbass6780 3 года назад

      No worse? Sure the rabbits may keep kicking for a bit after the kill but their spines being snapped they are essentially braindead. At least it looks like he snapped the spines.
      It's about as human as you see in movies where undercover agents snap peoples neck from behind. I don't know how realistic that is on people, but the effect is same when done to rabbits. Very quick death and minimal suffering.

    • @sheep1ewe
      @sheep1ewe 3 года назад

      Yes, Ferrets are usualy "clean killers" i think that's what happened when he had to dig it up from the soil. It's my rabbit, and i will keep it! ha ha.
      In fact foxes often play with their pray, especialy the younger ones, they are far from always being clean killers.
      I know ermines does not work in the same way as ferrets, but if they had it had been supercool to hawe a tame ermine to hunt rodents in my walls, ha ha

  • @craigcooper8593
    @craigcooper8593 3 года назад

    I used to ferret in my youth.
    When a rabbit hits the net shove your foot in the entrance as frequently another is also on the way out, and quickly reset the net.
    Occasionally the ferret would catch one underground, then have a feed and go to sleep. The only solution was to block all entrances (if they got out and wandered off would be lost forever and probably die) and come back that night with some water, splash a bit near the entrance and wait 5 minutes, presently the thirsty critter appears so you can both go home. Female ferrets much better as the males just want yo sleep and fight.

    great video. I had a big albino ferret when I was 12-13. it was to big and it use to kill and eat the rabbits down the hole. i'd have to wait for hours for it to eat and have a sleep. I soon sussed on about using small bitch ferrets. the rabbits would run out with it on their backs, sometimes. I miss this sort of hunting for truly free range food.

      Pretty sure a hundred year old tree that produces a lot of oxygen for the Earth is more important for EVERYONE's welfare than 2 or 3 rabbits that can easily be replaced by another breeding pair of rabbits that live a few thousand feet away. And they will be replaced. We aren't running low on rabbits, that I know of.

    • @kungfucow547
      @kungfucow547 9 лет назад +7

      Saphire Blue Rabbits are hardly "sentient" and even if they are somewhat what difference does it make to them in the wild? Their place in the ecosystem is to be eaten and their lives aren't worth spit. There's probably no more expendable animal among the vertebrates. They're hunted and eaten by every predator and this is why they breed rapidly."You take away their lives and "new" rabbits do not give it back." Actually in the ecosystem that's part of the equation and life is cheap, and like I previously said a rabbit exist to be eaten. Stop anthropomorphizing animals, it's crazy and has the exact opposite effect to what you're trying to achieve.
      *Myxomatosis* bitch. That's a virus intentionally spread to exterminate rabbits. It was developed because human life, commerce and survival *and* that of other animals and plants (biodiversity) comes way before an animal that is classified as vermin in many parts of the world.
      Like it or not but we humans are also part of the ecosystem so what we decide is beneficial for an ecosystem will be a priority. Rabbits are expendable and won't be.

      It could have been a practise session for shuto technique, the 'rabbit' chop, but he just wrung their necks instead. So fairly humane. Innumerable Chickens have died like this over millenia, more have enjoyed the fowl meal than those that did suffer humane remorse. If an animal had died instantly from beheading, only it was a bloody sight, the complaints would still arrive. Its like people who complain about trivial sexual content of mass media, random beach nudity, maintaining paleolithic public dress codes, shaming breastfeeding mothers, or decrying television violence. Instead of just changing the channel, or ignoring like anyone else. Virtue signalling is a massive pain.
