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.

Sad to hear of the passing of Big Jack. A great man in all respects, much admired. RIP Jack.

This was when England was still England.

Way back when we were left to manage the countyside and before social media gave antis a platform

Brings tears to your eyes the great English countryside thank you so much.

2019 and still excellent 👍🎣

love those old Russell's .. memory lane , big jack made a good presenter , great series

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!

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.

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.

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.

I still do this regularly here done since my Dad first took me ferreting when I was about five I’m 52 now 🥃

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.

Love them lads, they don't make them like that anymore

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!

Nothing survives the Jack Charlton Death Chop

Good country lads, a time gone forever, lovely countryside and great old video.

Great video 👍last of the old school Men what a legend Jack Charlton is he will allways have a place in our irish hearts RIP Big jack.🍀

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

Used to love watching this show with big Jack, rip big legend.

Big Jack a LEEDS LEGEND just love the man.

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 was a young buck when this video was shown on tv. Still love watching it, can’t beat ferreting. RIP Jack

Sunday afternoons after hunting bliss.

What a pair of lovely lads.. RIP Jackie.

to see jackie charlton 1966 word cup winner and leeds star rabbit hunting is amazing

Old school Countryside at its Best 👍

This was a great series and we’ll miss Jack

Jack choppin em 🤣 my preferred method😎 bless ya jack .rest well😉

Jackie was one of the crown jewels of Anglosphere . RIP

One of my favourite ferreting videos to watch simply because it’s old fashion

proud to be yorkshire...! proud to be leeds...

That countryside reminds me of ours here in Kentucky with the rock walls and hilly pasture, love it👍

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 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!

Ferreting is a game of silence these 3 never shut up

good old days

Wow! I have hunted many different kinds of animals, but this is very clever and productive... I really enjoyed this film!

Top notch stuff great guys.

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

Great memories for me 👍🇬🇧

What adventure what a great way for blokes to share there ideas,,,,and then there is the beautiful country side please give me more

Forget the Cruyff turn...the Charlton chop rules:) beautiful footage.

Brilliant

I just found out that he died 10th July 2020 😔😭😭😭🥺 So I’m re-watching this 😘 R.I.P Jack Charlton 🙏 Legend!!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

great job guys

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.

Great video Yorkshire folk...salt a earth

Great stuff

Ferreted all my life but those dogs wouldnt be in my team ,one dog working silently and no talking .

Great, just great !!!

proper Yorkshire lads

Rabbit hunting with ferrets... and little dogs... and nets.... and radio recievers..... Holy moley!

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.

I miss my Jack Russell

Credit to Jack - he can dispatch a rabbit

Mint footage

This is brilliant true England not some pc bullshit

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.

Nothing like rabbit meat, virtually no fat. The rabbit only eats choice vegetation... superb in a winter stew...

It won’t bite ye lol famous last words 😂😂😂

This is some Brill TV I'm well enjoying all this

still working dogs the same way today

Is this the same Richard Saunders that makes the air gun videos I enjoy so much ?

Correct first line, ferrits are an obligate carnivore so you feed em' meat.

16.09 saw jack do that to peter Osgood once.lol.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

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

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 !

I bed, as soon as the camera was shut off, they put the ferrets down their trowsers.

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

Brilliant stuff, refreshing in corona times 😀

Sick

Big Jack jumped when Rabbit popped out hole! Rip big jack

Dennis priestly , Jim Bowen and jack

Thanks for that Richard, big Jack will never die. Are you the same Richard who dabbles in airrifles?

Times have changed....but have they really changed for the better?

8.04 mins in...Lol, Jack Charlton talking to Jimmy Hill.

They R not the only ones

Jack got scared at 16 minutes 😆

White Rose !

Go on jack just finger the ferret

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?

Proper Irish Music!

Now you can’t walk freely anywhere thanx all you controllers.

They all sound like they have been on Bullseye 🤣

What happened to Ken and Jim hope there still around .

Loved the vid. Would have been much better if I could understand what they were saying....lol

Looks like Jim Bowen lol

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

Making far too much noise talking and dogs heads down holes , the rabbits are not supposed to know your there.

Lovely, lovely video. You'd never get that on TV these days. The snowflakes and animal rights activists would be fainting right , left and centre.

Imagine big jacks wife's face if he came home with pair of pole cats don't think she'd be amused

Does anybody know what the soundtrack is called at the start of the videos? Cheers

"\"(^ ͜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

no rabbits in this part of the world mid wales

He could have picked some better ferreters

jack didnt want to stick his finger in that ferrets mouth lol.good old days

I remember my ferret being like a lion! bit me all the time and always wanted to shoot some poo at me from the cage!

Now all those lovely landscapes are settled by Muslims and Indians Pakistanis:-(

Do the boyz ever catch anything a lot of work . adam
