A Ferreter Of The Old School
I saw this video by Will Halfacree on James Marchington's blog. It reminded me of our day ferreting, only Frank, 90, is a lot fitter!
Frank, a legend from East Budleigh, still continues to use the traditional method of Ferrets to catch rabbits in the Devon hedgerows.
Enjoy

Last time I checked, ferreting wasn't legal here in West Virginia, but there's still a few people that do it, I've heard.
Pretty cool, thanks SBW. I notice he doesn't use all that ferret detector collars & stuff - which always struck me as a bit of a pain in the bum.
Cheers,

I guess that goes for quite a few things

Really? James and I had to do a fair bit of digging, even with the collars.

That is pretty cool!

We might even say 'there's no cool like the olds cool'

Love this guy! And I watched how he killed that fryer twice and still can't figure it out - whatever it is, damn, he's good at it!
"A fryer",whats that,a rabbit that`s small and fits in a frying pan.
The vid reminds me of when I was a yoof,me and my pal used to course hares and rabbits with my lurchers,Tigger and Tess,they`re dead now bless em,Tess caught a low flying pheasant once,she leaped like a gazzele and plucked it out of the air.

as a wise man once told me
"there'll always be another woman, you'd never get another dog like that though"
