I also thought hunting with ferrets was illegal, but decided to do a search
on the web to verify this. Here's what I found:
Hunting with ferrets has been illegal in the U.S. since early this century.
The origin of putting a ferret down one's trousers seems to have developed
as a way of concealing them from the gamekeeper, and later evolved into the
"sport" of ferret legging, where the winner was the one whose ferret stayed
down longest.
I also found this interesting little tidbit from the Montana Wildlife
Federation:
Some hunters' organizations oppose the reintroduction of the black-footed
ferret. They worry that hunting for varmints such as prairie dogs would be
restricted because the ferrets need varmints as prey.
Ah, the mighty hunter. I hope they carry great big guns to hunt those
little prairie dogs.
