    Hi mate I posted A similar question,around my 7month old,wippet x gryhoung cattle dog mix,only got one reply,its a mine feild mine he is very quick and well grown,some people at home are saying ok over ferrets, where if I am honest all 99% of his work is going to be anyway,real dilema I am afraid will keep mine away from an open run, till he is 18 month and maybe use him to man the nets where no run will be more than 10 /15 yds I cant attach pictures neither pain in arse

    I have seen em made out of canvas tent elastics, the bit where you put the peg through very strong,readily availabe from caravan shops,would imagine hard on the fingers after a while,

    Hazel is very good better if seasoned well,ie cutt the year before and dried in the green house,ideal for loose nets,I have a quick set and like the fibreglass poles on it, but never used one on a loose net,and think you would have to really get the top line tight, to stop it collapsing to the bottom of the poles when first rabbit strikes,unless you use the grommets/castrator bands, in a nut shell both have benefits,I think hazel though for a loose net would be my choice,you can buy small green garden stakes from B+Q but they are crap unless the ground is soft and in the dark will knack up on

    Thanks for that what do you think about over nets, I have some rabbits to do next week,very thin fields no more than 80yds across with thick hedges,I will be bolting to longnets,and do you know anything about the cattle dog side of things I am told its becoming popular, I got the dog very cheap,and the dog and bitch were the size I wanted,well happy with him at moment

    Cheers for that,Islipped up and put 18yds like a muppet when I should have said 18 feet with two pegs,any way got 100mtr of net from bridport nets last yr, so think I will have to experiment a bit,Many thanks for the info on trammel net,I too have heard they are hard to detangle rabbits from but might give one a go,my pup is only 7month old so trying to engineer he only gets very short dashes,this winter

    Hi I am new to forums,something I have never done before I have Rabbited and shot since early childhood,I have allways made my own purse nets and longnets,I recently bought a young lurcher pup,to help with the rabbiting its 26 yrs since I had lurchers,since then I have concentrated on gun dogs,to cut the drabble,can anyone tell me the recipe for stop nets,in my longnets I always use 50% bagging,and they work well and as stopnets in the past I have worked a short longnet through the hedge,but I have seen 18yd nets sold with 2 poles on either end???do they work and do they have 50% in them ie 36
