Another Walk Out With The Webs

Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago I was feeling rough as hell from a very bad chest and knew a trip to the hospital was probably coming sooner rather than later so decided i'll chance it and go for a walk out with the webs. With a big moon and barely a breath of wind, I grabbed my gear and set off in the motor. This place I was going to isnt ideal to say the least, there's only 1 way in and plenty of light pollution but its always had a good head of rabbits.

 

I Parked the motor up and walked the short distance to the entrance of the field, I had to move very slowly and keep as low as possible as there's little foliage behind to cover my movement. I eventually got to my drop point, ran out a 50 yarder from the small basket, then moved along to the next set and dropped a 50 yard traditional net in place. I made my way a good few hundred meters up the field and began to walk back towards my waiting nets. I had to stop a few times to catch my breath, hands on knees, head spinning, thinking WTF am i doing :laugh:

 

Eventually i had cleared the field, so starting on my right, killed off the net. This time i had my phone in my pocket and managed to take a couple of photos as i was cleaning the nets. by the time i had both the nets up i was almost belly up myself, so a quick photo then made my way back to the motor for a cuppa tea and drive home.

7 clean rabbits in total, 2 in the traditional net and 5 in the quickset.
