if you take him keep him calm and as stedy as posible............make sure if any bolt and miss the net dont let go of him as running at 5month old is not going do anything other than ruin him mate.when the rabbit hits the net let him have a hold of it but dispatch it instantly in the net and repeat to him the comand HOLD then take it of him and reset the nets.have him sitting in between your legs and kep stroking his sides tio keep him calm.this is waht i do on there first couple of ferreting trips anyway..
