  3. i get what you say tc. most of my netting is done on banks that are steep so can get away with little amounts of bag i do in fact have a couple of tight nets that i use just for this purpose as the rabbits are running down a bank and hitting a net that is laid back any how they are almost suspended in a hammock with out being too badly tangled in the "kill/bagging" i think a lot of nets are set too high and a net with only 50% bag will catch better if set with headlines like banjo strings and vertical bag as well as horizontal bag BUT in all honesty how many of us catch enugh rabbits in a
