long net , would it work ??

[scouse 0]

heres my problem , where i take my russell theres a track then a strip of undergrowth about 10- 20 mters wide which holds rabbits . then another track on other side then really dense bush which i cant get through . as i approach rabbits bolt, dog gets a quick chase then rabbits get to safety in thick stuff on right side . so would a long net work on the right side track if dog approaches from left track and pushes them towards ???? would i get to set it up before they've done the off anyway ??? i've never used nets as you can probably tell so any help is appreciated. by the way no gun, no ferret , no lurcher !!!! just me and dog !!!!

Yep dont see why not, tie the dog up run the net out quietly, then let the dog bush up. I have a spot that i do something similar with, using a 12ft gate net over a gap in some rabbit fencing....

Just make sure the dog knows what the net is, otherwise it gets a bit messy

What do you mean? The time taken to actually put the net in place? I imagine it should only take a couple of minutes

[Guest Bigbob]

Aye say about 5 mins

to set a little 25 yard net on 4 poles should take 10 seconds , i can run a 100 yard net in under 2 mins. just practice son and you will do it no problem .snareman

or if you mean to add the poles onto the net then that is different if you nave never done it before it will take you longer, if you know anyone that uses a long net ask for assistance as its easy enough .
