went ferreting saturday where i saw a few rabbits whilst longnetting the other night.i met nottzhunter about 8ish with all the gear which we split between us and carried on with the 20 min bike ride.the first hedgerow we netted was about 10 holes but not long after entering the ferret the landowner came over.As we hadnt got permission he was abit annoyed with us poaching his land but needed someone to get rid of his rabbits and we were soon given permission and he showed us some warrens he wanted us to tackle.there was plenty of damage around his farm and we soon got to work on a huge warren b

ellir i think the quickset i have cost me £120 from jbsnets mate and the hat i got a few year back now probabley from a dog show but im after one the gamekeeper sort dont know what there called . Rolfe i have two 50yrd 4z traditional long nets im going to start using ,will probabley make things abit easier when travelling that distance when im on my bike.yes tomo your right i will pick better conditions next time if i dont decide to take dog out instead lol.yes mate i can see it being addictive.all the best good hunting rew

Decided to have a go at longnetting last night ,weather conditions were poor not very windy and light due to the moon but i couldnt resist going out.Only used the 50yrd quickset as i needed to travel light becuase i had a good half hour bike ride ,which was still very uncomfortable with the basket digging into my back.i stashed my bike behind a hedge on a country lane and walked into the field next to it where i saw plenty of rabbits already on the move.i dropepd the net out 4 times and only managed two rabbits,one which i could see not tangle up the first time he hit the net but but gave it a

we never really trained them to hold the rabbits ,im sure it can be done but they would mouth the rabbit in the net but they started to do it less after we had told them NO,i dont know what they will be like now as they havent worked with the nets for about a year now.well im out tonight with the longnets but the dog staying at home ,got a few small orders for rabbits so it will be nice to have between 10 and 15 from a few drops.hopefully will have a thread up tomorrow . good hunting rew

my lurcher (fly) is predominantly whippet x greyhound with a pinch of collie and deerhound.flys only done a little bit of work with the nets during daytime last season ,but she learns reasonably quick so i can see there being problems at first but hopefully she will click on.today i have just knitted one 20ft hemp and spun nylon gate net and a 10ft ish heavy spun nylon square meshed gate net just using up some old materials.so hopefully will start getting some use out of these, got a few small bridges hares regularly use so shall give it a go. good hunting rew

i honestly dont think there will be a problem getting a lurcher to work to the long net or gate net during the day aswell as at night.if you get that dog out regulary working with the nets i believe they will start to work around or with you and will soon pick it up what is required.if you can gain a partnership between you and your dog theres alot of things you can do imo it will require alot of experiance though.was out myself the other night with no lamp just letting my dog work the fields ,she had a couple of runs and if i had a few gate nets set i think we would have had dinner in our bag

Thanks georgia that bitch of yours is a corker aswell,keep up the good work . thank you Tomo you have helped me see what she is capable of by getting me out with you on some of your land and it is much appreciated mate. that bitch of yours was some stunning animal and it looks and sounds like she was some dog in the field aswell .i can remember you putting a couple pics up of her when i asked about grews a few year back and it was probabley just the looks of her that made me want to get one.hopefully when i can start getting out again we shall have another run out before the season ends.

i dont think you can go wrong with a well bred whippet greyhound ,i have only heard good things about the cross so a couple year back me and my dad got a pup each which were nearly whippet greyhound but had a very small percentage of collie and deerhound in there.my little bitch (fly) caught her first rabbit at 16 weeks by luck and we were lucky enough to catch it on video.ever since both pups have turned into great dogs.we really couldnt ask for better ,both are like missiles and are like most grews up and at there game very quick and both are exciting to watch run even if they dont catch an
