DVD Review

The Ole Hedge Creeper was asked could I cast my eye over 4 DVD 's sent over from www.onelife-productions.com entitled The Knowledge Of Hunting. Now I am not one for watching TV or listening to the radio or even reading a newspaper as its all pretty much the same rubbish all the time. There for if I do spend time in front of the TV I do like to watch something either field sports, conservation related or possibly cooking related.

DVD 1 - The Knowlage Of Hunting part 1

This DVD is entitled The Knowlage Of Hunting part 1 and it covers a vast range of traditional skills from Air Rifle Hunting both day and night to Ferreting. It even shows ratting with Plumber Terriers. It follows a day on a chicken farm when they catch well over 500 rats with these Tenacious little Plumbers. One thing that really caught my eye in this heart stopping DVD was something I had never seen done before?

Well that was using ferrets to bolt squirrels to the gun, I was on the edge of my seat as my hunting genes kicked. In fact the whole DVD had me right there with them. The squirrelling was fast action and really got my adrenalin pumping.

This is an awesome DVD and I must have watched this 20 times now and love it every time.

DVD 2 - The Knowledge Of Snaring And Ferreting

This DVD is entitled The Knowledge Of Snaring And Ferreting. I couldn’t wait to see this one if it was as good as other DVD's from these guys.

It covers traditional rabbit control which is a real passion for me above every other field sport. I love Traditional ferreting the most and I was not disappointed with this DVD. Although it was a little slow to start the action soon kicked in and again had me out there in the field with them. I could see myself running the long nets, laying the purse nets, running the the dogs as well as laying and checking the snares. I must admit I really did enjoy this one as it took me back to my child hood hunting with my Pappy (Granddad) and the rest of my family.

DVD 3 - The Knowledge Of Ratting

This DVD is entitled The Knowledge Of Ratting and again with the tenacious Plumber Terriers and as the title says its action packed ratting mania. As the rats bolt the terriers fly in like bolts of lightening dispatching rat after rat. The DVD shows both day and night hunting with the terriers on the lamp. This was a new one on me and I am now excited to give that a go myself. Actually the more I watch these Plumbers in action the more I want a pair in my kennels as they really have caught my eye in a big way. The hooking out of rats out of walls with a special tool was awesome. I wont tell you anymore as I don’t want to tell you the best bits, but what I will say is “GET THIS DVD” and see for yourself. I am now looking into a fine pair of Plumber pups as I write


This is one of the best ratting DVDs I have seen to date.

DVD 4- The Knowledge Of Chickens Cobs And Running Dogs

This DVD is entitled The Knowledge Of Chickens Cobs And Running Dogs. This DVD took me back to my youth when I would help my uncle on his farm with the Gypsy Cobs Game Cocks. During these trips he instilled a passion for the running dog and those of you that have read my article about Running Dogs rabbits and Romani's will know what I mean.

This DVD really passes on some knowledge as well as some of the finest animals I have ever seen with some proper characters too.




This DVD should grace the collection of every true countryman who loves tradition in its purest sense, with some amazing interviews and real life characters that are now a dying breed.

My Final words are that this set of DVDs has The Ole Hedge Creepers seal of approval together with a massive thumbs up. They quite simply do what it says on the tin boys and in fact I am going to get a gallon of cider, light the log fire and watch the set all over again.

Its a proper job I telle boys.
