richie 1 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 i reckon the last thing on a bolting rabbits mind is the colour of net hes gonna hit ! brighter colours are easier to notice when picking them up. rich Quote Link to post

fireman 10,930 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Start with pink ones and if the rabbits complane then change to a different colour,all the rabbit could see is a siloette of the net as the colour won't show from a dark hole.Try it with a bit of drain pipe with a net on the end look up it,see you can't see the colour just the net,now put a ferret up your arse and the colour don't come into it .Bright coloured nets help you find them again mate thats all.

The one 8,483 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I used to use hemp nets all the time but walking over a bury after my 14 year old i was picking up nets he had missed ,so i knitted 50 red spun nylon nets and he never leave's one lying now .if your ferrets right up the rabbits arse following it to the suruface i'm sure the colour of the nets the last thing on it's mind Quote Link to post
ferreter 0 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I've caught rabbits in bright orange nets. It don't matter one bit to the rabbit what colour the net is and it does make it easier when picking up the nets gives you a much better chance of seeing them. I love the new shades makes knitting nets much nicer having a bit of variation in colour. Quote Link to post
lamping-lad 160 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Rabbits are colour blind they cant see any colours if rabbits are coloure blind then why do people wear camo when hunting Quote Link to post
Guest bigredbusa Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 that was a clever rabbit who said he was colour blind i wont use them as i like traditional colours and not draw attention to myself while out as some of my ferreting is close to footpaths etc and i dont need the agro these days (unless they coming looking for it) each to there own , for me im straight and wont use the gay rainbow nets Quote Link to post
lamping-lad 160 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 when a rabbit is coming out of a dark hole into the light the net just looks black what ever colour it is. but ive seen when there out of the hole and youve got a bright colured long net they sometimes stop before hitting the net and run along side it.
