hi I made up one a few years ago using a car central locking system connected to a small 12v battery.I mounted a solenoid on every 4th pole so that each one pulled out 3 pins that way there was not to much pressure required. then dropped the net using the remote that came with the system I know this is a bit hard to follow so if I can find any photos I will put them on but it was a few years ago.system worked well where there was no cover & could be dropped from a distance

Got my first ferret at 8 yrs old ,came home from school & mum said see had a surprise for me.She had found a ferret in her hen house & had put a drum over it ,bloody thing bie hell out of me.But I got a cage made ,a carry box out of an old banana case, & Dad showed me how to make nets out of any old twine I could find.I am now73yrs old & have never been without a ferret in the back yard.I have 10 at the moment but because of health problems they would not know what a rabbit looks like,but hope that changes soon

hope you know that it gets into your blood .I got my first ferret when 8 years old am now 73 & have 14 working ferrets

If you are able to build a cage ,you would be ok making a carry box, then if you check on the netting section you will find a net making pinned section.then to start all you need are the ferrets & shovel ,a locater can come later
-
I have found the rabbits will run over the net with no trouble at all,it is ideal in orchards where a drop net can get caught on the trees.also can be set & left without being to visable.easy to makeup give it a go

Have known Brian for quiet a while,He has stayed with me twice while holidaying in Australia.He introduced me to the quickset method also the dropnet & last time over helped me make up the lift system which I find very usefull in an area that has little cover, as you can lift from a long distance away . I also use his longnets that he brings over for me to try & have found them to be of good quality, Kevi

I Made up a drop net system triggered by a car central locking system working off a 12 v battery, set it up left it up for a couple of days, to let the rabbits get used to it. Went back in the night to drop it & found a bloody Kangaroo had hit full on and ripped a great hole in it. I also have made up a lift net designed by Brian Brinded which works like a charm set it up in the day go back in the night pull the cord & up it stands, then just walk the rabbits into it.
