Why are people criticising? This was from a time before the internet and social media, a time before self-titled “experts” felt the need to criticise. These blokes were out to have a good to time and maybe take a few rabbits, not raping the countryside for all it’s worth. Their ferrets may have been a bit chunky along with their dogs but who gives a toss? They still worked. Sorry but it really pisses me off! There is a lot to learn from people like this, especially if people weren’t so quick to judge and criticise.
There's always going to be people like that. I go sea-fishing and I still get comments about my beloved pastime. Just continue doing what you enjoy. There will *always* be people like that and they're entitled to their opinions too, remember.
I knew these two lads and i was a member of the ferret club that they ran in the early 80s based in halifax ,They used to run the ferret show and racing at chatsworth game fair for several years and also at other shows in the yorkshire area.I can assure you that these gents knew the ferreting game inside out and they caught a large number of rabbits on the Bolton Abbey estate for many years.Sadly i heard that Ken had died at the early age of 49 from a heart attack
John - England has always been changing as does the world in general. The 80's were shit; no jobs, Thatcher and greed is good, so don't tell us everything was brilliant back then, it wasn't.
My dad took me ferreting when I was about five and I was hooked. Ive had ferrets most of my life but not anymore but still have the odd day out with my mate. Its not just about catching rabbits but being out in the countryside seeing the wildlife.
Glorious Yorkshire in a time we'll never see again unfortunately,, simple times. Not like today where everyone is in a rush and they don't take the time to relax and appreciate life. Thanks for sharing this video.
Over here in South Africa we hunt rabbits at night with a 4x4 with very bright spotlights and double barreled shotguns, and with Jack Russell's and Fox Terriers... so if anyone would love to criticize anyone let them criticize us over here - each one to him/herself - if you don't like the heat then stay out of the kitchen... Que Sera!... Regards Dirk!
Used to ferret with a friend in the South of England growing up before Mixy was introduced. Rabbits are not a native species to Britain, introduced by the Romans. They were everywhere, dangerous for livestock and the landowner would pay a bounty of a penny an ear. Could buy a lot with a penny, in those days! We kept the carcass. Great show!
A fascinating insight into the proper way of ferret hunting and the passion involved. I remember clearly having rabbit frequently on our table and once on holiday we were given a hare. Largely disappeared off the table these days.
The one that got away lives to breed another day, love this video I remember rushing home from a days pigeon shooting to watch this video 3 great lads, Jack makes me laugh when the rabbit startled him bolting out of his home all good fun, and yes the English country side is beautiful love it.
Richard thanks for these great films, he was a true country gentleman and sportsman, I so appreciated what he said when after the geese " a brace is plenty no need to shoot more" a shame more people don't shoot with this motto in mind. (particularly the Americans!) Thanks again Nick
@@allmyhobbiesareexpensive2676 I'm from scotland. My dad was making dinner when I was young for our American relatives. One of the Americans said is that what you call potatoes here??? There so small. In America we have potatoes five times the size of those!!. My dad said each country makes them to fit the size of thier civilisations mouths!
Spent many many an hour with ferrets down the hole, on rabbit and rat. Remember watching these shows the time they were first on tele. Big Jack always did have a liking for country pursuits. What today's kids, and today's generation of adults don't realise, is when people from my era were growing up, there were no computers, Xboxes or Play Stations. Kids past time in bird nesting, ferreting, lamping, coursing, fishing and a load of other free, and abundant pleasures. Jesus, what the hell happened to this country, where its now illegal to hunt with a dog.
I just love it. as a GI brat my dad was stationed in England with the Air Force and once in a while I used to be able to go on the rabbit and pheasant hunts with his lordship and the other GIs. Now that's hunting!
Top man was Jack, gets in there amongst it, in my area we have 2 ponds named after him " Charlton's ponds " lovely place back when I used to fish it, the big pond for he bigger carp, great times, I've done many a winter weekend on that lake, and many a long weekend in the summers too.
I like it, it makes me feel relaxed watching this. It relates to my own background in northern England where this was and still is normal. I did also in my youth with my terrier some rats n the odd rabbit. Im older now though and see all life in a different light. On a separate note the guy in the middle looks like Ross from Friends
What a great sport ferreting, had many a trip to Settle ferreting. My little Jack Russel would sniff the hole then look up to you to let you know bunny was at home. Happy days. Made my own nets to while working nights at GEC.
I just found out that he died 10th July 2020 😔😭😭😭🥺 So I’m re-watching this 😘 R.I.P Jack Charlton 🙏 Legend!!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I loved my ferrets, used them for rabbiting, I used sell the rabbits for a £1 each, cleaned and ready for the pot, it was a good source for pocket money when I was a kid.
The first encounter I had with a ferret it grabbed my finger and would not let go the game keeper had to light a match under its chin before it released.
That must indeed rank as a considerable achievement for someone whose intelligence level was roughly equal to that of the average rabbit whose suffering gave him so much enjoyment.
most blokes too busy playing with imaginary other on computers now to even understand this, I know a few that still do this (used to live next door to them) and there the real salt of the rural earth types, Ferrets stunk too !
wish i had one of those trackers so many time smoked or had to dig the buggars out ,had pole cats , the good days are gone now the greens and others rule ,just look at our bush fires here in AU 2019/ 2020 the rule of the PC brigade and the Vegans, ,you can bet never had a feed of under ground mutton
RIP ...he has the same name as my grandfather had ...jack.... had a polecat in the 90s did a lot of rabbiting ... back then ...when i was 21 ... got my first .22 rifle... brno ..i was getting 50 to 70p a rabbit .before it was all stop by the animal rights gang...😢.. hear in ireland haft to be 21 for licence
I'm interested in hunting rabbits (air rifle)but don't know much about how to identify the ones with myxomatosis . can anyone give me some advice on the subject?
No, not fainting, just disgusted by perverted people with no respect for wildlife. Anyone who finds the abuse of defenceless animals "lovely" needs careful watching, particularly around children. That included Jack Charlton who always gave me the impression that the reason he did not like the animals he persecuted was because he saw them as a challenge to his intellectual prowess, and judging by that perpetually clueless look on his face, he was probably right.
"\"(^ ͜ʖ^)"/" Ow do... great content but what's the Irish music all about then? its England for FSK... I'm surprised the PC YT allowing the rabbit punch being metered out (expertly) by Jack. thanks for sharing
I can remeber in late 1980 s yearly 1990 s mixi wiped the rabbits out aswell near where I am as 1 year their was many many 100 s lots of them we would end up going and killing the bad ones some days 30 odd maybe more a and in 2 years the lot were wiped out. And it was still about in early 2000 as me n my mate found 1 on its last back legs
Tom Wilshaw Hi Tom,, I would like to know myself what soundtrack it was but after tirelessness searching couldn’t find it anywhere I even pressed Shazam on the phone and it couldn’t identify the tune either,,,, Shazam is an app to identify music in case you were wondering what Shazam was?? all you do is hold the phone up to the speaker when a song is playing and press the Shazam button on your phone and it will identify the song and artist simply as that but not in Jack’s Game tune unfortunately.
Nice steady dogs, no yapping. I used to love rabbiting but wouldn't hunt now, the rabbit population has crashed. I used to coarse Hare too, but again would no longer do it. I'm anti hunt, fox hunting and pheasant shooting that is, but in favour of hunting for the table. Doubt there's many folk rabbiting and kids certainly don't get out in the countryside like our generation did, so guess it's a dying art. BTW, noticed him thumbing the rabbits @ 15:00 ish, that's to push out the piss so it doesn't taint the meat. Thanks for uploading.

Very interesting.When I was young my dad used to cook baked rabbit with rice and baked potatoes and it was delicious.
Love them lads, they don't make them like that anymore
yeah theres still some around
I still do this regularly here done since my Dad first took me ferreting when I was about five I’m 52 now 🥃
Where do you do it? Do you still have ferrets?
Used to love watching this show with big Jack, rip big legend.

Exactly what I did and I feel exactly the same way... only I'm in Australia and the same thing happened here.
This was a great series and we’ll miss Jack
That countryside reminds me of ours here in Kentucky with the rock walls and hilly pasture, love it👍

Rabbit hunting with ferrets...
and little dogs...
and nets....
and radio recievers.....
Holy moley!
Is this the same Richard Saunders that makes the air gun videos I enjoy so much ?
The first encounter I had with a ferret it grabbed my finger and would not let go the game keeper had to light a match under its chin before it released.
just put it on the floor it would let go no need to torture the poor fucker with matches i kept ferrets for years .
Mint footage
Nothing like rabbit meat, virtually no fat. The rabbit only eats choice vegetation... superb in a winter stew...
This is brilliant true England not some pc bullshit
proper Yorkshire lads
I miss my Jack Russell
Credit to Jack - he can dispatch a rabbit
