i like the idea of not loosing nets but dont u think when the rabbit sees souch bright colours he will turn back? i think it would be much better if you had high vis pegs or just the draw cords. whats your thaughts on this????

Personally i do not think the colour would make too much difference, im not talking from experience as ive only just started ferreting but this is my view. Rabbits would not be expecting a net to be covering the hole in the first place so would not be looking for one, and with a ferret behind them they would only want to do one thing and that is get out the burrow and fast. Also they would be emerging from a very dark burrow and the opening of the hole im sure would just look like a bright light, i think by the time their eyes had adjusted to the difference in brightness they would be pursed in your net, whatever colour it may be.

 

What do others think??

I've just ordered some, and not a bad price , so thanks again NRigger!

 

Buggsbunny . Think about it .A rabbit emerging from a burrow is probably only going to see a net of any colour as a silouhette against the light. Then there is the fact that rabbits are probably colour-blind or certainly don't see colour as we do and are defintly are more attuned to detect movement than colour. The number of times that rabbits back-net into nets of all colours is the real indicater that the rabbits are not put off by bright colours .

good points fair play but i think i"ll stick to the good old green and black nets i think;] if rabbits are colour blind why use red filters on lamp shy rabbits? and another thing when your ferreting wha colour clothing do you ware? realtree? why bother to buy expensive realtree just ware hi vis coat an trousers dont worry the rabbits wont see and as far vas the ferret bein [bANNED TEXT] behind them it dont always work like that he might still be turning 1 on a block end. what would i know only been doin it for about 16/17 years hey an i"m still only 25

MMMM, a seemingly genuine post followed by a seemingly idiotic comment, after 16 years, if you count your chidhood, i'm sure you wouldn't need any advice, maybe you should write a book

maybe i will one day no all jokes aside its down to the indeviual wha colour nets they use if it works for you then carry on doin it i say but as we all know you always get rabbits come an sit on the hole looking to bolt i just think with bright colour nets it might put them off a bit thats all. But then again i have never used hi vis nets so i wouldnt know its all down to personal prefferances
