Was always a hero in my books. Loved everything he did in his life. That film reminded me of my youth. Was always off rabbiting with my friends dad.it was great in the country them days. Done a 180 now can hardly recognise where you are now.
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.
There's always going to be people like that. I go sea-fishing and I still get comments about my beloved pastime. Just continue doing what you enjoy. There will *always* be people like that and they're entitled to their opinions too, remember.
I knew these two lads and i was a member of the ferret club that they ran in the early 80s based in halifax ,They used to run the ferret show and racing at chatsworth game fair for several years and also at other shows in the yorkshire area.I can assure you that these gents knew the ferreting game inside out and they caught a large number of rabbits on the Bolton Abbey estate for many years.Sadly i heard that Ken had died at the early age of 49 from a heart attack
jack Charlton did it all.,A great video .Of course he's got a special place in Irelands people s hearts ,God rest him A true countryman of Yorkshire 👏👏 🇮🇪
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.
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.
John - England has always been changing as does the world in general. The 80's were shit; no jobs, Thatcher and greed is good, so don't tell us everything was brilliant back then, it wasn't.
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!
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
@@allmyhobbiesareexpensive2676 I'm from scotland. My dad was making dinner when I was young for our American relatives. One of the Americans said is that what you call potatoes here??? There so small. In America we have potatoes five times the size of those!!. My dad said each country makes them to fit the size of thier civilisations mouths!
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.
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!
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 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!
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.
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 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
I just found out that he died 10th July 2020 😔😭😭😭🥺 So I’m re-watching this 😘 R.I.P Jack Charlton 🙏 Legend!!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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.
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.
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 !
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.
That must indeed rank as a considerable achievement for someone whose intelligence level was roughly equal to that of the average rabbit whose suffering gave him so much enjoyment.
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
No, not fainting, just disgusted by perverted people with no respect for wildlife. Anyone who finds the abuse of defenceless animals "lovely" needs careful watching, particularly around children. That included Jack Charlton who always gave me the impression that the reason he did not like the animals he persecuted was because he saw them as a challenge to his intellectual prowess, and judging by that perpetually clueless look on his face, he was probably right.
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
Nice steady dogs, no yapping. I used to love rabbiting but wouldn't hunt now, the rabbit population has crashed. I used to coarse Hare too, but again would no longer do it. I'm anti hunt, fox hunting and pheasant shooting that is, but in favour of hunting for the table. Doubt there's many folk rabbiting and kids certainly don't get out in the countryside like our generation did, so guess it's a dying art. BTW, noticed him thumbing the rabbits @ 15:00 ish, that's to push out the piss so it doesn't taint the meat. Thanks for uploading.
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?
Sad to hear of the passing of Big Jack. A great man in all respects, much admired. RIP Jack.
RIP Jack .. a true legend

You're wrong this way of life is still going strong in a few my friend.
2019 and still excellent 👍🎣
Good country lads, a time gone forever, lovely countryside and great old video.
The countryside when it was healthier
Most of the countryside is the same as it has been for centuries, go into the hills and woods nothing has changed.
Way back when we were left to manage the countyside and before social media gave antis a platform
Agreed mate
Sod the bloody antis😀😀😀🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I remember watching the Jack's Game series on TV back in the day.
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.🍀

That countryside reminds me of ours here in Kentucky with the rock walls and hilly pasture, love it👍
This was when England was still England.
You profit to much from the E.U. already,Its time you'll pay back.
Your loss our gain bye bye.

Wouldn’t see programmes like this on tv no more sadly.
That’s not a problem because I never watch live tv no more anyway 😊
I still do this regularly here done since my Dad first took me ferreting when I was about five I’m 52 now 🥃
Where do you do it? Do you still have ferrets?
Very interesting.When I was young my dad used to cook baked rabbit with rice and baked potatoes and it was delicious.

What adventure what a great way for blokes to share there ideas,,,,and then there is the beautiful country side please give me more
Used to love watching this show with big Jack, rip big legend.
One of my favourite ferreting videos to watch simply because it’s old fashion
to see jackie charlton 1966 word cup winner and leeds star rabbit hunting is amazing
Jackie was one of the crown jewels of Anglosphere . RIP
This was a great series and we’ll miss Jack
Big Jack a LEEDS LEGEND just love the man.
What a pair of lovely lads.. RIP Jackie.

Exactly what I did and I feel exactly the same way... only I'm in Australia and the same thing happened here.
I had polecats in the 80s great video
Nothing survives the Jack Charlton Death Chop
Old school Countryside at its Best 👍
Sunday afternoons after hunting bliss.
Jack never forgot where he came from.
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!

Wow! I have hunted many different kinds of animals, but this is very clever and productive... I really enjoyed this film!
Forget the Cruyff turn...the Charlton chop rules:) beautiful footage.
Ferreting is a game of silence these 3 never shut up
Yeah to much talk amateurs
Not true rabbiting men at all
They are making tv, ffs lol
Top notch stuff great guys.

and little dogs...
and nets....
and radio recievers.....
Holy moley!
RIP JACK LUFC
Brilliant
Ferreted all my life but those dogs wouldnt be in my team ,one dog working silently and no talking .
@dave angel you better believe i wouldnt far to noisy for my liking 😁

just put it on the floor it would let go no need to torture the poor fucker with matches i kept ferrets for years .
proper Yorkshire lads
"The Englishmen" a dying breed.
Nothing like rabbit meat, virtually no fat. The rabbit only eats choice vegetation... superb in a winter stew...
I miss my Jack Russell
Credit to Jack - he can dispatch a rabbit
That must indeed rank as a considerable achievement for someone whose intelligence level was roughly equal to that of the average rabbit whose suffering gave him so much enjoyment.

Big Jack jumped when Rabbit popped out hole! Rip big jack
16.09 saw jack do that to peter Osgood once.lol.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I bed, as soon as the camera was shut off, they put the ferrets down their trowsers.
Is this the same Richard Saunders that makes the air gun videos I enjoy so much ?
Times have changed....but have they really changed for the better?
Dennis priestly , Jim Bowen and jack
Thanks for that Richard, big Jack will never die. Are you the same Richard who dabbles in airrifles?
8.04 mins in...Lol, Jack Charlton talking to Jimmy Hill.
They all sound like they have been on Bullseye 🤣
Proper Irish Music!
Now all those lovely landscapes are settled by Muslims and Indians Pakistanis:-(
at least the ferrit puts them in the net.
Imagine big jacks wife's face if he came home with pair of pole cats don't think she'd be amused
Didnt realise eddie the eagle was into ferriting
