It was a wet one.

Wet and windy tonight so my eldest son Dylan and I headed out with the longnets. We decided to net both sides of a wood, on the first drop of the two 50 yarders we only got 6 rabbits.

 

We picked the nets and headed off to the other side and soon had them pegged out again. Once again I went out to shove the rabbits towards the net, when I got back to them I found Dylan busy necking the rabbits that were balled up in the webs.

 

We ended with 11 rabbits from this drop and no doubt missed a few as the net was flat in places when two or three rabbits had hit it in close proximity. The rain never let up for the night, we ended with 17 rabbits and a right soaking.

Good night there tote, well done . I see your using a quickset with hazel pegs, my own set up is on hazel with double half hitch and a inner tube band stretched tightly over. However at times i still find the head and foot lines slipping out. What method have you used tote ? Pics would be good mate ? Cheers Atb

I've used the rubber rings that are used on lambs tails, not had any bother with slipping.
