ferrets ugly things
I would not be surprised if there are 20 or more rabbits still in that Warren Doug mate
I notice the dogs won't go near the rabbits in the long nets when the ferrets on on them in the net Doug mate
I’d run to if someone was gunna stick staples in me lol , nice to see them working bud , a few bunnies here and there good work. 👍
Hi Doug, I'm still new to ferreting, is there alot of difference between ratting line ferrets and rabbit line ferrets? Thanks
Not that I'm aware off
Thanks for the video
What a dog chace well done
He is really maturing well, hates those red dogs
@DougCraigTheFerretMan it's been awesome watching the dogs work and grow over the years mate oh and was that your misses with you
@@pelletandferretpestcontrol7367 yes mate it is should be seeing her a bit more soon.
@DougCraigTheFerretMan good luck two the pair of you and a happy future say hello to your mum
Congratulations
thz mate
The fur would be lovely and thickening up now to for the colder days ahead , get that skinning knife out mate and throw it in a tan , I made a Danial boon hat out fox skins years ago , looked awesome but the skin is really to thin to be using it , the skins make a nice rug though. Oh and good job with the dog , he did an awesome job well done to him.👍
I wouldn't mind a dollar for all of those I have skun over the years I don't bother anymore
What a dog
Bit slower to mature than the whippet types but worth the wait.
How about Sage for a name. 😃🤓
Hello mate I’m in the UK and want to make some cages like your timber ones. Can you let me know the dimensions or measurements. Length, width, and depth. Thank mate great videos
Where are the rabbits ?
Buenas Doug un fuerte abrazo desde España me han gustado mucho los nuevos hurones Que te parece si le llamas LOBITA
Noise ha ha I can tell ya if there are rabbits down there they ain't all going to stay down a couple might but most will bolt .when will these people learn they will never be any more experienced then the great doug Dundee
Noise was your issue and dogs all over the place good steady quiet dog and you should stand quiet, rabbits are built to survive
I never had an issue in my opinion after 50 + years of ferreting I think I know the pros and cons of noise, I haven't been about numbers for about 40 years just like to go out grab 1/2 dozen, watch the dogs and stinkers, enjoy the day and back home, usually do that 3 times a week weather permitting, Thanks for the addvice though it's the thought that counts 😆
Awesome session bloke been 40 years since I've been ferreting.. Great to watch thanx

Tip for you I always use to give mine a drink of milk at night . BUT use a tuna tin / cat food tap on the tin then give milk !!! I then took the tin with me if I got stuck up I would tap on the tin . They think there getting a drink and come out
you need to understand Ferrets are Lactose Intolerant , read this before you give advice - holisticferretforum.com/natural-diet/diet-files-continued/why-ferrets-should-not-get-milk-of-any-kind/
@@DougCraigTheFerretMan ya right I’m 68 and I was brought up with them I use them from 1991 as a pro rabbit shooter for 15 years 4 days a week 10 ferrets never had a problem in training my kids with this they never got gallons !!!! Only 1 tin aweek None of them ever got sick each to their own then !!!
@@smokeingcrowswithrobbo995 Yea I used to feed mine bread and milk too as a kid until I found out better, it does cause a host of problems in ferrets diarrhoea is the least of these, compromises their immune system and shortens their life a varied 100% whole prey raw diet is about as good as it gets for them.
How do you know they wernt sick and you didnt know it? How can an animal that needs a high protein diet be at optimal health on bread and milk, just because you where a pro rabbit shooter doesnt meen you know what your talking about it means you know how to point a gun at a rabbit not raise and keep ferrets how they should be. Clown...
Glad to see you water ya dogs & ferrets .. hate how folks work them all day with out a drink
Doug, Good vid would be how you assemble your long nets and how you then set around a Warren. Poll distances, tension on cord, etc Great video as always.
Packing into basket....
Love it when I see a Doug dundee episode! I'm waiting on my first litter of kits 🥰 I hunt rats ( where I live in northern france there are literally no rabbits left) and absolutely love it so di my ferrets and malinois 😊
Have you ever listened to your self in slow motion
Have the dogs ever bit you by accident?
yes a few times
Doug on the cost of your ferrets mate ,there are cheap skates everywhere even on market place on face book ,no matter what you sell at a good price ridiculous people offer a few bucks that is insulting to say the least . Stand your ground as you do , working ferrets are worth every dollar and even if they wanted them just as pets at a pet shop they sell for $100 so I think that person was trying to take the piss out of you , tell him to get knotted and bugger off.
loI just blocked him 😆
@@DougCraigTheFerretMan …Awesome buddy , don’t need dickheads like him on your channel mate . The ferreting community is pretty good but there is always one drop kick out there or more lol . 👍
Yet again the great Doug down under fails to disappoint . its fantastic to see the kits working hard the dogs are on form to mate iv just got myself another dog 3 year old ex racing greyhound love watching me dogs run the bunnies don't stand a chance. And your right about prices i let my go for £20 but the work we put in with the breeding and the time you hit the nail right on the head there mate i wont be letting any my kits go cheap anymore .keep the content coming mate love watching you do your thing 👌 👍
Will do Cheers buddy
The good breeding and bloodline of ferrets. I believe is priceless so like pedigree dogs, ferrets can be worth a lot more than 100 $ or pounds that you ask. A hunting man or woman would know this and would be prepared to pay the asking price whatever that would be because they know about good quality animals. I've had dumb ferrets and I've had brilliant hunting ferrets there's a vast difference. I'd pay for quality and good breeding anyday. You get what you pay for. Keep the videos coming my friend it is good to watch a professional hunter with fine animals at work. You know your stuff so don't let anyone tell you different. Your an outstanding hunter with excellent working animals.
Cheers Steve thz for your kind words GB
Doug, has Dash reached his full growth? He shows a good turn of speed, handsome fellow. howdy from Texas
Yes mate he won't get any bigger now he is no super star but handy enough.
Had the exact same argument with my pig dogs pups. I’d sell for $300 each. At 8 weeks of age. Yes you can pick up mungrel bread town dog for $50. But is it guaranteed to work or their money back 20 yrs of breeding hunting in my line not 1 pup I ever got return on
Some people just want everything for nothing, THEY WONT BE GETTING MINE THATS FOR SURE
Well done Doug I enjoyed that cheers.
Thz mate.
Great videos. 👍 nice to met you from . The great white north. If ontario Canada. So how everything across the pond.
No complaints mate life is good. Cheers
I was wondering if you have baby ferrets for sale if so reply to this comment and we can work something out
Good stuff Doug, i met you at Freshwater Lake, Dunkeld, great video mate Cheers Mick.
Cheers Mick, good onya buddy take care
Those rabbits will never bolt they can year you walking and talking you'll have more killing,s. if you stand on top of the bank and keep quiet they will run into the long nets and the dogs are all over the holes whitch will make the rabbits run backin
Thz Craig I think I would after 50+ years have a rough idea about noise and ferreting, If your rabbits aren't bolting all that well with noise try more aggressive ferrets Ha Ha Cheers
Doug what became of Fleet

Great work mate, really enjoyed this one.
Cheers mate.
Ha ha the sheep think you’re going to feed them.
Bloody dumb sheep can't even tell the difference between a ferreter and a farmer 😁
Terry boy / Margo girl
the blue grey brindle whippet reminds me of my old whippet. He worked great with the ferrets.
Zip is a 3/4 whippet x Deerhound Greyhound, old now and has always been average at best but handy enough around the nets and she is family.
Ive got a buck called Balloo
I do ferreting my self not so much now not to Mary rabbits around so watch all your video’s so good to watch l come from a little place called guernsey in the Channel Islands .
The rabbits are just a bonus realy just good to be out.
gday doug, i used to ferret back in the 60s 70s 80s we used string nets not those long nets you use, we always caught heaps i mean like 40 pair a day easy. btw we call them warrens not burrows, burrow is one hole , have you tried using the string nets?
It was nothing to get a couple of hundred over a weekend back then between ferreting and spotlighting with the dog's, the good old days
Do you have any trouble with ferrets not coming back up out of the burrows ?
Occasionally I do don't lose many though I wait, leave traps and keep going back usually I get them back.
I am going to do same today take Does out
Good luck
Great video Doug what about( ACE ) for the young buck ferret sandy for female
I like Ace
Cheyenne. Kai. Shadow. Goone

Bruce for the male Doug

G'day Dundee wow mate that's a great day out good on ya babies and dogs working wellso happy to hear about your resent engagement brother after some turbulent times things are going well for you
