definitely need to practice running out and picking up your nets in daylight, find a nice flat grass field to do it. try it with a breeze as well, running out the net across the wind direction and parellel with the wind direction. it will help you get a feel of what could happen if the wind changes during the setting of your net when your'e doing it for real in the dark. to push the rabbits in i use a small baccy tin with dried peas in just keep shaking it as i slowly walk the field,some people just clap their hands.
