Ferrets and Ferreting - With Simon Whitehead

[doom705]

i love ferreting with my jill :)

[kennykenzo]

if the ferret didn't want the man to shake him i am sure he would let him know by trying to bite, they are a very confident animal.

[Mralibaba48]

You are treating it like an object not a living being you twat, shaking it around !

[G1ngerFox]

@Mralibaba48 >> Ahah! That ferret being badly treated?? Ferrets just -LOVE- being rolled around, and played with. They love contact and play with each other that way (but with a bonus of teeth!) I have 2 girls and 1 boy, and they are fantastic friends and hunters too... kennykenzo's right: a ferret knows veeeeery well how to show you he/she's not happy. XD They have a very strong avec "piercing" bite (I'm french and miss the word XD)

Do hunters that use ferrets view them as pets or merely hunting tools like a gun or a knife? Doesn't look like this guy really views them as a personal pet like his dog or something.

[EdTheBadass]

I am thinking of bigger prey.

Rabbits are too small.

I am thiniking of using badgers. How much would a fat hunting badger run and what wouls be the biggest prey I could catch?

you the chap who banned buying ferrets in welsh game fair? you where blamed

[bummer2k9]

im tinking of buying a few ferrets..wat sort of ones should i buy????do i need a ferret finder cause ive seen a video where a ferret finder wasnt used.mail me back please

[SecondSightTrailers]

@bummer2k9

Its difficult to recommend what 'sort' of ferret you should buy as this will depend on your circumstances and what you intend to use them for. A ferret finder is normally a wise purchase though. The DVD Ferrets & Ferreting with Simon Whitehead covers pretty much all you need to know to get you started with helpful hints & advice. It is available by going to Second Sight Productions website in the countryside & wildlife section of the catalogue

Thanks for you comment Hope this helps

@bummer2k9 You should always have a ferret finder, it is so easy to lose a ferret when working, and in my opinion, the number one rule of ferreting is that every trip lasts as long as it has to in order to bring all your ferrets home. And unless you want to have a hard time of it, invest in a ferret finder.

As to what kind of ferrets, males will work for a long period of time, females tend to be better in short bursts.

Coat colour preference is really down to you!

[facebookcarazy123]

@bummer2k9 you dont really need locater in small sets but in larger ones you mite need one because the ferret mite get the rabbit and eat it down the hole so thats always good to get a locater.

Simon Weisskopf,

SICK!

Makes me throw up.

Who needs this shit?

Only sick people and Simon.

Nature is brutal enough. Why to profit from it?

Ohhhhh, money! I almost forgot.

Simons like it!

[genderbenderphile]

@wotansrevenge Well, if you want to be overrun with rabbits dying a slow, 14-day long death of myxomatosis, which involves blindness, swelling of the face and genitals and the slow breakdown of lung tissue, which, incidentally, is incredibly easy to pass on to pet rabbits, and has no cure, be my guest.

Personally, I think a quick snap of the neck is how I'd rather go.

ferretkings you are mistaken about ferrets the most true color yes is white but they do come in the sable you see and also a silver and black foot

[ferretkings]

how wrong you are you are holding a polcat not a ferret ferrets are white pol cat is a pol cat ferret is a ferret and white

[ferretfeller]

@ferretkings hes not wrong ferretkings, polecat coloured ferrets are just another colouration of ferret, ferrets are domesticated polecats and have been for thousands of years.

they come in dark sable which is dark polecat through too light polecat through too silver through too sandy or champage, through too black eyed white through too albino, there are thousands of variations of there colour, but as two seperate specises the yare different. althrough you can interbreed between specise.

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@ferretfeller Wrong. Polecats aren't the common ferrets. Although, scientists have a theory that ferrets are descendants of polecats. You're just a plain retard. :)

[edtri19]

@ferretkings no

[genderbenderphile]

@ferretkings Polecat is a colour that ferrets come in, very similar to the colouration of the wild polecat, white ferrets come from a recessive gene in the background of the polecat and... well, just happen now and again, I have two ferrets, brother and sister, and the girl is a polecat coloured ferret, while her brother is pure snow white, and both their parents were polecat coloured.

Simon - When was this filmed? looks quite 'summery'. Wouldn't you suggest hunting in winter to avoid the ferret killing a young rabbit in the set. Or is that why you have the spade?
