It tells you in a very clear and easily digested way how to set and pick a net up. The rest is up to you as you are a person who is willing to think for himself and not afraid to fail, as we all have done at sometime or other. You will make a success of longnetting as by those failiers we learn. The only real way to learn is to try things, if it works brilliant if it does'nt then we have learnt something. As a lot of people on here will know, you can give advice till your blue in the face, and most of it even very good advice is ignored. I would say to the OP try and work out how to net the warrens and if at first it fails then try something else that way you will learn, what works for you. TC Quote Link to post

mole catcher 1 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 [The second rabbit down looks like its been shot If you look at both rabbits they have blood on their noses, this happens when you use a priest on rabbits in the net with a little bit of a heavy hand. Thais i can say has happend to me on many nights out when getting tired or being a little over inthusiastic. ( now wait for the debate about not chinning them) Woz i can assure you is as a true a sportsman you will ever meet, if he wasnt he wouldnt have spent 2 days at my home being shown longnets. And yes i did take the pi$$ out of him for being heavy handed but im sure woz wouldnt stoop so low as to shoot a rabbit and say it was netted. Quote Link to post
