bobcullen79 1,495 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Thanks for the replies. I'll hold off getting one, for now at least. That's the first time if felt the need for one. I usually can get the head through a hole and job done but came a bit stuck (was out alone and feeling rushed too). Tomo, How do you chin it when its head/chest is balled up tight together? I can't think how, I need to be able to free it's head for a chin or stretch. Helps if you use nets with the bigger meshes. I usually just force/wiggle my forefinger and thumb through the meshes and under its chin, then once you have it round the neck secure you can let go with your other hand 8 times out of 10 the rabbit will straighten out now the net isnt under tension and you pull the ring. Got a nice manky scratch now on the inside of my finger from one that wasnt having any of it... Its chinning them balled up in longnets I find a pain in the arse. 1 Quote Link to post
GreyRake 108 Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Thanks Bob. Was a longnet on this particular occasion, had a few threads tight over its face holding its head down. Quote Link to post

krawnden 1,036 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 One sharp rap on the back of the head doesn't come anywhere close to 'smashing the head in'. Can't see what all the song and dance is about. Quote Link to post
pie-eater 377 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I know exactly what the op means they can be tricky to chin in the longnet especialy when they've rolled around and gotten into a tight tangle. I don't use a priest but if used properly Id imagine they would be just as humane as chinning. Suprising how deep them bunny kicks can cut your hands, I was chinning a rabbit in a purse net last season and it kicked out and put a deep gash in the palm of my hand. Quote Link to post
