Can we catch sandgrouse by a net?

Hello Everybody,

 

Can we catch sandgrouse by a net? If not, what is the best method by which sandgrouse can be caught? I don't like using shotguns. I hope I can hear from you. Thank you very much.

I reckon you cant,

Im not the greatest at legislation, but looking at the wildlife and countryside act 1981, section 16, mist nets are not aliowed unless under license, now I know a longnet isi'nt a mist net, but your wanting to use it in the same principal

Many thanks everybody for your reply. In fact, I am asking from the technical point of view if we can catch sand grouse by a net. At my place there are no legal restrictions. We have a bundance of these birds. I hope to hear from you. Any method of catching sand grouse without the use of shotguns or airguns.

 

Many thanks again.
