I have only set out a quick set long net in the day (hay cutting) but i would imagine the principles are the same. always do a rekie so you know where to set your net and take note or remove any obsticles so to avoid unwanted embarresment and a field lacking in rabbits.

Now for the real work. assumin wind and weather are suitable set out the net in positions and then as silently as possible (may need to give the rabbits a wide berth) so not to push them the opposite way to the net get behind them to work the feild. to drive the rabbits in to the net a long piece of string (called a "dead dog") held between 2 people so to brush along the grass or make a "whoosh" noise. Note: just like beating- the objective is not one big flush but to trickle them ino the waitin gun or in this case waiting net.

 

hope it all goes well:D and good luck

pretty well summed up Sterry. For someone unsure, you're spot on , ian, least near as makes no difference
