One thing is for certain, you will never know untill you try. There are so many factors that could influence the out come. How hungry the rabbit are, how far the stray from home when it is well lit by the moon, how mutch rain we have had in the last few days. The list is endless. I don't think anyone can work it all out, but just by going out you can learn enough to give yourself an edge.

 

Every area is different, what works for me may not work for you and vice versa. There is only one way to find out, get out and give it a go.

If you can find a spot where there is a drop down too the rabbits retreat so your hidden from view as you lay the net ( I think the term is blind set not sure though ) that would be handy. Or a spot where the rabbits go through a small field into a bigger one so you have a hedge between you.

I had a tidy night the other night when conditions were far from perfect with clear sky and no wind and I thought it would be a waste of time but it wasn't

Its all well and good saying get out & give it a go but you've got to do your homework if you want to avoid a disaster or a blank.....can't really comment too much as I don't know the area your in but looking at the local weather forecast your best have a night in front of the tv if yours is anything like it is here....torrential rain & gale force winds with expected flooding....just keep an eye on the weather before deciding if tonight's the night
