Cheers very much for that Snareman. The difficulty with these ‘hedge top runs’ is that the rabbits seem to push their way along rather than hop, and consequently there isn’t a regular series of beats to accurately set a snare to. When I’ve watched them move along these routes, they scramble along with their bellies literally dragging the ground. Can you explain a little more about twine length please?
