unusual colour for a first cross. mate had 1 same colour but it was a genuine 1same.glover says i his book you only get black,blue or brindle.also you never get a smooth first cross. load of boxxxxcks on both
-
i have a first cross she is 18 1/2 inches. 11 months old just caught her first rabbit. where she excels is nose etc working cover and marking. very quick over 50 yards but lacks a gear on longer runs.i certainly wouldn't buy 1 as a running dog but then again i don't lamp.daytime mooching & ferreting she suits me fine.
-
last drop i did a small spinney close to home.i had hard ground pegs mate was using hazel. after a short bant his net was empty & down so it had obviously been hit mine had half a dozen well balled up the pegs had done their job. had better nights but many times had worse.
-
apparently the world ended in 1953 for the humble rabbit lets hope they can bounce back the same
-
its same here there are pockets of rabbits in places & a good summer behind them who knows?.some probably wouldn't think its worth running nets out for a few. but if i get a few its worth it to me its the enjoyment of being out
-
all this talk about nets has got me itching to go again.first nice weather we getting & i am longing for Autumn nights you couldn't make it up.??
-
i only ever used 4z not tried anything else.must be set in my ways

-
there was one old chap in the 80s i was a young man keen to learn. he wouldn't use anything other than 4" he had been netting since the 1930s

just back into things after 15 years. always used traditional nets taught by the old timers.middleaged (old fart) myself now.have a 70 yard & 50yard & just ordered a new 50 from nelson
-
cheers mate will give it some daytime practice.do you think this is a lot better than backpgging?
-
cheers mate i have done quite a bit of night netting & had decent catches but only ever in pairs never worked alone. how do keep tension when you peg as you go
-
