Fox net

[rolly 0]

I got a fox net sent with my new locator and not sure how they are to be used. It's a 1.8m net with green mesh and white rope running thru it. Has 2 silver rings on each end. I believe I need to buy stakes to hold it down but is it suppose to allow the fox out of the den or just block the exit? Pics would be helpful for the proper set up. Any and all help appreiciated in advance.

You are gonna have to be real quiet and stealthy, and when the time is right, throw that net at the fox.

Good luck.

Thanks to those who helped (EMC and HH). I think it's called a purse net, not a long net, from pics I have seen. In the past we just blocked up the other holes and let the dogs bolt or draw them out. First timer with a net though. I'm sure I could figure it out thru trial and error, but would rather not lose a fox if I was so lucky to actually find one home. We don't have ton of them where I live.

 

Would have put it in the net forum, but it looks as though it is for the long netters and I figured those who HUNT fox maybe be able to help.

 

David2363 and jart: I'm sure you guys have actual knowledge of how to use these, but somehow couldn't muster up the energy to come to the table with anything useful. You guys take care.

it should have string through it from one ring to another,u should have two lose strings at one end comeing through the ring at the top,put a peg or stake on this,so that when the fox bolts into it the net will purse and the fox cant get away,the ring withe the peg goes to the top of the hole and the other ring at the bottom,the net should cover the full hole,put your peg into the ground firm so it doesnt cum out when the fox hits it,make sure there is no tangles in the net so it can purse...

[Guest bakes]

to set the net bud place the net over the hole opening the net up then the bottom ring through in toward the hole then peg so when the fox bolts its got to step on the net to escape and you got more chance of catching him fully in the net this way if you just lay the net over the hole when the fox bolts he will flip the net and get away hope this helped you bud all the best

no offence intended mate but when they asked what net they might have and how they should use it i had to think, who would ask a question like this, now i know its someone who is still learning like me (point taken) eating humble pie as i write this
