I was going make a gate net for rabbits but to behonest the rabbit population down here is on its arse and I don't realy like taking them now unless it's from old places that are due to be developed on,,there a couple place near me where they built some new industrial estates on which were coverd in rabbits all the time but now u see the odd 1 or two ....times ...they are changing

They close up the same as a big poke net does with a rabbit in it , the more they bounce around and try to push forward the more the net closes up, The key is a good depth on the net and the right mesh size , I've used 3" mesh board so will give a 6 inch full mesh so as the hare comes through his feet are on the net befor his nose touches the net so once they hit it they will push the head through 1 of the meshes and try to push through picking up the depth of the net with there feet tangling them self's more ,there also easier to get out of these nets that the square mesh types, H

So the gates nets mainly used now are like giant poke nets as apposed to the old sqare meshed nets that were just draped over the bottom rail of the gate , the older type net would be draped over the hare comes through gets tangled rolls over and ends up 10 foot away from the gate , these types used now ate like a big poke net set about a foot back from the gate on two Hazlehead pegs , the hare hits the net and purse up , I dont think many people use the square mesh type anymore realy

Thanks again @netrigger

So had another go at making gate net number 2 with some diffrent twine this time. Still not as good as I want it to be but practice makes perfect and good to get some practice nets nicked up befor buying more expensive better quality twine, end goal is to make couple gate nets for hares and couple for rabbits out of the 0.75 braided nylon but as I'm going have to dye it as it comes white and a lot of work will be going jn to them I want make sure I'm 100% happy with the quality of my nitting

He wants be carefully if he's got nosey neighbours, I'm biased as I love birds of prey kept birds of prey and will be doing again in the future , however I had a bird aviary wich canary and finches in and didn't have 1 attack but I put that down to me having my own birds of prey peged out in the garden on the lawn infront of the aviary , I wouldn't kill any bird of prey but my old man on the other hand hates them with a passion due to him been a pigeon racer , he would have them all dead if it was his way so I can understand lads not liking them when there killing there pride and joy...me per

So after watching multiple videos on YouTube I decided to have a go at knitting my first ever net , I whent for a gate net as I don't realy have an use for a long net as rabbits are so thin on the ground round by me now so I watched some videos and sent acouple of pms to find out wich was the best twine to use, I then was giffeted some twine off my mate who had some left over twine from when he tried to make some purse nets but gave up and just bought some up so I thought I'd have a couple practice runs first and after 2 days I finaly finished my first ever gate net , still got to put the dra
