bogwoppit 0 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 First outing this season on a bit of new permission, One huge set, between us we took 130 nets and covered only about half the holes, had a bit of success boltiing bunnies from clear holes and backnetting them into others, The ferrets all worked well and Patch the pointer was spot on as usual. Encountered some of the most vicious nettles in England and peter(birdman) came up with a novel way of stopping the pain all i can say is dont shake hands with him!! Quote Link to post

bogwoppit 0 Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 longnets were mentioned more than once didnt take any as it was first time there and didnt realise how big it was Quote Link to post
peterbirdman1 206 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 A cracking day had by all. Ferrets & dog working really well. As for long nets yes they could have added a few more to the total but the rabbits in general were just bolting from one hole to another & rarely headed for the open. The nettles were bad mate & the piss does work. Y I S Pete Quote Link to post

peterbirdman1 206 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 No pics mate, would have liked to have taken some as we had a lot of orange net in use that would have shown up well. Quote Link to post
The one 8,512 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Nice going mate Quote Link to post
Downunder_Sthn_Ferreter 16 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 130 hole warrens.... using purse nets is hard work hey. Over here in Aust there are plenty of those on larger overrun areas.. Takes ages to do even with a team of helpers.... This is my reason behind considering a couple of 50 yd or 25 yd quickset systems. Would be a boon for some of the ground i have in mind. Nice bag and a top day out by the sounds of it. Cheers, Shaun Quote Link to post
peterbirdman1 206 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi Shaun. Quick set nets are a great tool in the right places & are very efficient when you get good with them but i am a bit of a traditionalist & use the old long nets. We are planing the next attack we will use 100 yard nets and a 25 yard stop net to split the warren in two.Y I S Pete Quote Link to post
