Gate net

[JordKil 0]

I recently bought an 18 yard gate net and Im confused as how to set it up as I cannot find instructions anywhere.

Does anyone have any pics of one set up? or advice on how to set it up?

 

Thanks

Go to the back of the gate throw your bottom line under the gate (so your choosen prey runs on your net ) and put your top line along the bottom or second bottom spar of the gate and you can use small stones to hold it there .Or use it as a short long net on a couple of poles or nettle stalks etc to hold it up .Thats the basics mate theres loads of other ways

just put a couple poles on it mate, for just a couple poles, it might be an idea to buy some fibreglass ones from magnum traps or Molecatcher. they are expensive but not so when all you need is about 3 poles. good luck mate and you might be able to fix it on poles. makes it easy and easier to carry aswell.

gate netting is mainly designed at hare's, so the mesh size needs to be 3" the lenght needs to be over 14yds as most gates are that size. depth I work with 25-30 squares to give a good belly. use to sticks one each at the gate posts, tightly pushed in at a 45 degree angle. reason for this is when the hare hits the net slips of the pegs and purses.

If you bought it fron Ebay or suchlike, they are rigged like miniature long nets, so should be used the same, but if it is one of those there isn't enough depth in the net for use for hares really.

WELL LADS ,

 

 

OVER THE YRS ..............

 

IVE CAUGHT MANY HARES IN THE GATE NET ................ BUT TO BE HONEST

 

MORE BY GOOD LUCK THAN ANYTHING ELSE ,.............. UNTIL I GOT HOLD OF A COPY OF GLEN WATERS VIDEO ON GATENETTING ........IMO ............... THERES NOTHING ELSE WRITTEN OR FILMED TO EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE KNOWLEDGE ON IT ............ AFTER THAT I CONTACTED GW AND NOW IAM PROUD TO CALL HIM A GOOD MATE , SINCE THAT TIME IVE LEARNT MUCH MORE ON THE SMALL BUT IMPORTANT POINTS WHICH CAN MAKE OR BREAK A MAN IN THE GAME OF GATENETTING

Only gates I've seen that size are on railway crossings

honestly mate do your home work see were hares are running look for runs under gates even breaks in hedges after having years hunting the old hare a vidoe is good but feild expierence better , look for runs snare them and gate net your gate, can be done in daylite nite time i can mind as 12 year old and 14 year old boys useing two brush poles and takeing our coats of as decoys so the hare thought it a person 16 yrd of salmon net and catching hares but we new were they were going and had a slo mongrel dog to chase them , i laugh at get this vidoe and that video feching use [bANNED TEXT] coming sense or go out and trail and error , or go out with lads who like that sort of thing it makees me laugh the minute somethings not right get a video to show u no wonder this country i grew up in has went pair shaped ,look for hares especailly when thye start boxing youll see fluff youll see runs ,we had no videos years ago we learned and we got results but nothing wrong with an educaitional video , cheers

ps you can by salmon nets cheap 4 z 6z and whatever depth you want , and make enough nets for a fraction of the price and better , by the mesh and put top line and bottom line on them , i would say a day with a knlowlegble guy is worth ten videos

[DUCKWING 302]

WHIN ,

 

OVERS THE YEARS IVE HEARD MANY , MANY MEN SAY THEY CAN GATENET ..... IVE TRAVELLED MANY MILES TO SEE THESE LADS AND THEIR STYLE ................. NONE ................ AND I MEAN NONE WERE ANY GOOD AT IT UNTIL I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO MEET G.W. ...........

ALL TALKED A VERY GOOD GAME .. TILL .... YOU KNEW THE GAME ...........

YOUR " KNOWLEDGE " IS QUESTIONED . IN MY MIND AND EXPERIENCES WHEN YOU MENTIONED THE SLOW MONGREL DOG

ALSO WHEN YOU SAY A BETTER NETS MADE FROM SALMON NETTING ......... AGAIN ........ MY MIND QUESTIONS

 

YOU OBVIOUSLY CONSIDER YOURSELF A KNOWLEDGEABLE MAN ....... YET

 

ARE YOU THE SAME GUY THAT SPENT TIME IN DURHAM HUNTING WITH CHIPPER AND FRIENDS ? AND THE SAME GUY WHO OLD NIGHTMAN TOOK TO TASK ON THIS VERY BOARD ???

 

 

ALL THE BEST

Many years ago when i first started ferreting i bought a couple of gate nets but did'nt know how to use them, this particular day we saw a couple of rabbits behind an old pig sty so i set up the gate net while my mate went round the other side to drive the rabbits, as said i did'nt really know how to set them, one of the rabbits came steaming round the back of the sty and hit the net but, i had set it tight between the two poles and as the rabbit hit the net it just catapulted back where it came from must have wondered what happened, i could hardly stand for laughing.

asked nite man up years ago when i had old lana in her prime looking for to see a decent mate for her , duck wing what did you think the miners localy in eastlothain did in the sixties seventies were i stay, it is all hares and roe they neve r had the lamps ,never had [bANNED TEXT] good daytime hare dogs, plus hares were more plentiful so they gate netted snared , we done snares as youngsters and done well , and when i go over to new mexico there guys who snare trap for a living fur bearing animals been out with them and enjoyed i could make a vidoe easy as im lucky to stay were it happens , but i wouldnt sell my self to strangers ye im the same guy who xchips noes and the same guy who makes knives etc no dummy and never bought an eductianal vid but then , i tell u what i have got a years worth of game tickets from billinsgate market with all the game my old mates caught, and salmon net makes good nets maybe not as good as home made ones , but if you havenyt the skill can catch game , now its all vids comps and realy i respect people who go out there on there own steam and try and get there and go out with like wise knowledgble types of guys , not those buy a video then well no it all , any body can by a video watch it and go out and do it whats hard about that , i respect guys who grew up in the game like old g w and others as i was brought up with guys like that , all the best

This should help you mate

The first 1 is like a small stop net which i use all the time

This net is like a big poke net which i use for hare's

pull the bottom of the net towards the fence like this

 

Hope this helps you out mate if you need any more help just ask
