wrong way round buddy.

 

you let the rabbits get out and feed then quietly set the net between the feeding rabbits and the safety of ther burrow. take a long walk around them so you dont spook them then walk them in towards their burrows where they get caught in the net.

 

i would strongly advise you to get hold of a dvd or 2 that show night time long netting.

Try to wait until you have a strong wind blowing into your proposed set. Weigh up how you can get into position without any noise or skylining, and practice setting and lifting your net with your eyes closed. Buy the art of longnetting by Harold Wyman. Good luck mate, ian.

remember not to set to close to hedges check ground in daylight remove any thing likely to tangle

your nets check your route

bring the last 3_4mts of net back on its self toward the centre approx 45deg to form an end stopper

it goes without saying keep it quiet and if possible drive rabbits down hill

very best of luck if it works for you it becomes addictive

practice make make perfect

but none are that not yet any way
