lksopener 105 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hello mate normally a gate net in the traditional sense was a mini longnet that would be stretched across a gate. Normally 3-5 yards or so. You don't need them to start matey just stick with your purse nets and get a year or so experience before you start worrying about long and gate nets. All the best, Liam 1 Quote Link to post
tomano1 80 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 If u are ferreting mate no need to have gate or long nets just need some good quality puss nets that can obtained on her if your just starting off you will be wonting to purchase spunpolly as the are very affective and real easy to use u should be contsantrateing on how to kill how to net ?

NEWKID 27,143 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi mate If you look at the top of this ( general ferreting) page you will see a guide to buying nets pinned this should be of help to you. As the lads have said about gate/stop nets they're not essential, but can be useful, not just for gates. We use them staked along a hedge at a right angle to the way the hedge runs ( around 15 yards apart), when a rabbit bolts from the hedge they usually try to run along the hedge and back in, if you stake a gate net out it will catch the rabbits as they run the hedge. I think they're around £15 each from Bridport nets 3 or 4 a side on hedge can be as useful as a long net ( especially if you have a running dog to pick up anything that try to run the field) and very quick to set and move, as the ferrets move along the hedge pick up the last 1 and put it to the front. You can just see the nets below coming away from the hedge into the field Quote Link to post
