      How exactly is it merciless? The rabbits get a quick death! If it was a fox the rabbit would likely be eaten alive and as for the meat it depends how many you have to feed. All children should be taught how to do this kind of thing.

    Wow, that is a fascinating hunting method I'd never seen! Now I understand what it means to literally "ferret something out."
    I wonder if we could adapt it to control the Prairie Dog colonies in the Great Plains? Like the rabbit warrens in your video, the Prairie Dogs create colonies strewn with holes that are deadly for livestock. The little buggers are fast! I wonder how small lurchers would fare hunting them?

      They do stumble though, one did during the film, didn't you notice. lucky it didn't break it's neck let alone a leg. They get injured it's just part of it. But if too serious and too expensive to fix it's game over. But never the less the dogs and ferrets have a great time while they live.

      Thank you for your kind words. It was the hardest film i have ever produced in many aspects. The wind made holding a camera a nightmare, the wind was hindering the dogs and over our shoulders was the rain. That being said both dogs and the ferrets worked tremendously well in harsh conditions both underfoot and around them.
