    auld salmon your dead right ,it saves putting using stops nets and prevents the rabbits running the length of the hedge to then re enter the warren ,and ocasionley refuses to bolt the second time resulting in a lay up.i hate digging lol whin the start of my net was like you said ,ran out in a 'L' shape through a clearing in the hedge so stop the rabbits getting into the next section of hedge we were ferreting.on another warren we did the same but the net was snagged on a branch and the rabbit bounced out of the net will make sure the ground is free from any possible snaggs. pic below ,like

    i had another look with the lamp last night as the wind was up .the first field produced a good run for fly which she picked up on the run ,her next run was also a very good run on a big rabbit with alot of turning ,striking and missing but it couldnt get into the hedge as fly preasured and then bowled it over on some plough.the ground was solid and im surprised she didnt do any damage to her feet .she had a few more runs on one more bigger rabbit but failed to keep hold of it as she thumbled and lost it through a hedge.she had another three runs on rabbits which i thought she would of nailed
