  1. Most beaver in this part of the country live in bank dens. Dens usually have an underwater opening as well as 1 or two holes above water level. I always thought it would be a sight to see a terrier bolt one into an oversized purse net!
  2. Thanks!. So does S or Z matter? Or is what is referred to as "spun" poly a completely different animal altogether? Just when I thought I had it sorted I'm more confused than ever HA! Looks like I need to do some more research This is the thread I was looking at http://eddingtonthread.com/polyester.html
  3. Ok I looked through some of my cordage stash and found a spool of military grade poly thread by eddington, I googled them and found they have a website. .7 mm = .027" They make an 8S poly thread .028" (.71mm) that has a 73 lb break strength. That seems like it may work? They also have an .033" (.83 mm) running at a 98 lb break strength. Your thoughts? Thanks for all the helpful responses gents.
  4. Thanks! They have spun nylon on thier site but the smallest diamter is .051", does that sound about right?. The spun polyester option is not accessible so not sure if they are still making it?
  5. Oh, I just like making nets Where legal here it is done much like you all do, although rabbits here only take to holes occasionally in harsh weather during the winter months. It would be quite nice if they burrowed year 'round like you all's variety! I think most people who work ferrets in this country use them on rats and other unrestricted "pests"
  6. Hello all, I am from the U.S, I was a member here (under a now forgotten user id and password) several years ago before the place got an overhaul and have just rejoined. I used to post a lot on the catapult forum. Regardless, thought I'd join back up and pick your brains on some subjects that are new to me but not so new to many of you all! Thanks for having me
  7. Hello All, I am interested in constructing a long net and have been doing some research. I have seen reference to 20/12 spun polyester multiple times; particularly that of engel sold by fourteenacre. My problem is I am in the U.S. I cannot seem to find a supplier of this sort of twine on this side of the ocean and was wondering if anyone knew of a supplier or knew of an acceptable alternative to the 20/12 poly that was common in my country. I can get my hands on any description of twisted(spun?) nylon of various weights and colors. I was considering this product http://www.memphisnet.net/
