Where to place my net

[byrney 2]

What distance from the bury should i be dropping my nets

[Rolfe 2]

You don't want to set them too close to the buries........you want the rabbits to hit them at speed really.....but sometimes you have no choice but to set them near. So you must judge each situation on its merits. But as a general rule i would set them a little way out if you can 10-15 yards or more is ideal. If you set them too far out you will have a lot of running about to do.

Thanks mate

Are you talking about when ferreting or are you taking about longnetting at night. I think that is the first question to ask?

Byrney, first rule of longnetting is to sort out your nets the night before, untangle them and put them in those two nice sacks to keep them straight for you.

 

Dont stand in a windy/rainy paddock with that dopey mate of yours trying to un-knot 50 yds of nylon

 

Hope the above helps

Dave !!!
