My thoughts exactly. Now i am in no way a good netter but through the nineties i did mess around with gate nets and the like. I tried the 'noted' way with stones and pieces of wood, but it just wasn't right. In the end, after a little thought, i used a short 8-10 yard long net and three hazels. This was set tight to the gate on both sides with the middle of the net being out from the gate in a triangular pattern. Hares and rabbits would run under the gate and be on their way when they hit the net and were tangled. Like i say, i didnt use this much, but it did work better than the old fashioned
