    Christ I hate those "BIG" drops. big to me is 400yrd..too much time running the nets out and the 1st fifty will (most of the time) already caught, and then the big walk in to find holes chewn in that fifty....AARRGGH NEVER AGAIN. Im spoilt in that most of "our" drops don't go over 75yrd and im more than happy with that.

    Every plot should have a flower bed like that..beautiful.

    IMO I would team up with a like minded chap and approach in between the warrens and one of you peg/net to the right and the other to the left..you never know in this game it just might work.

    Hold the duckling on its back with its vent away from you, holding its tail push it down, if its a drake out will pop a little willie and not if its a duck...or wait till they call ...squeak for a drake , kwack for a duck.

    Tell you summat guys, this netting game sure gets you thinking. I must admit this slack bottom line/wheel rut "thing" was something smithie told me about (hed tried it out on the rare occasions we didnt manage to meet up) . and it didnt sound right but seeing is believing and ive seen it work on numerous occasions.. never say never in this game .. it does get fecking cold waiting for him to get it "just right " but hey he catches and thats what were there for.

    Baz are you sure they didnt have mixey ? i have had rabbits hit the net and shave fur off and even had the mesh marks on the meat when skinned (bruising), but never bulging eyes ...

    The net in that pic smithie is 20/15 spun poly (engels) double knit, 5 1/4 full mesh and 15 mesh deep, its set on hazel pegs with groves on top to sit in and anchored down with mini end pins, and as youve seen the hares push there head through and wrap up nicely. At the back end of the season i made a few permi-set gate nets on hazel pegs with 8z nylon 4" mesh, these nets are various sizes and all have 50 percent extra running kill . i can leave these with the land owner should he surprise me whilst working his land. these net work brilliantly ill show you this coming season (on permissi

    Lifelong cumbrian you have a pm. edited to say...glad you got it sorted joe

    Get some 4 or 6z and cut holes in it then practice mending the holes. All you need to remember is you have to cut away some meshes to make the repair easier for yourself. If you look at the drawings in the link no matter what shape the break is they alway cut away meshes so that you can complete the repair in one go. I have an old net here that is in drastic need of repair, when I get round to doing it I will take photos.
