  7. advice

    in Longnetting

    Posted

    been scouting about local ground trying to figure out ways to net rabbits at night using my dogs to flush them.i reckon i only need a net about thirty feet long,something lightweight which can be set quickly and will hold the rabbits till i get there.

    i have never used a longnet/gatenet before,any advice appreciated,which type,where to purchase,etc. thanks

    no need for dogs long netting at night,buy the book longnetting from peg to peg by martin king,will tell you all you need to know to get started,and it's a good read,i bought my first net and this book around 5 mths ago,went up to the local playing field during the evening to practice setting it out,done this during daylight to get used to it,then after a while went out when it was getting dark,went out last week in a field where there were rabbits to try out for the first time and got 4,practice pays of,i bought the net from someone on this forum,but,you can buy them of a number of sites,jbs nets,brinded,net loft and many others,forgot to mention it's the quickset system i have,atb what ever you do,cheers......john :thumbs:

    thanks for reply John,what length doe,s the quickset come in

    dogmen/shooters need to stick together and stand up to the antis or we will all be fecked :gunsmilie:

     

    Never met a shooter who stood up for the dogmen when we were getting banned..... naa, I'm happy with what I'm allowed to hunt with my dogs and if the government deem that rearing birds for the sole purpose of shooting them for fun isn't really hunting....... Then they are on their own.

    whats going to happen if the government ban shooting as well,no pheasant rearing,no grouse moors no land management,then the countryside will be fecked.say goodbye to wildlife,build more housing estates,etc,etc

     

    Don't kid yourself. Farmers do more to the countryside than any shoot. How many shoots are around you?

    surrounded, except for the seaside

     

    Where that then

    not telling :tongue2:

    You will be able to tell them apart from simply handling them.. one may have a slightly longer tail than the other .. but the more you handle the more differences you will notice by feeling them :thumbs:

    cheers kay,i hope the wife doesn,t get jealous wi awe that feeling stuff :icon_redface:

    i think there is too much expectation from what people want from their dogs, just look at the topics,4 out of five hares, how big a bag in one night,you know feckall unless you,ve been on big lands,it,s all alot of shite and can,t be arsed with it. :wallbash:

    some people exspect to much,and the dogs get passed from pillar to post.alot of thesedogs would probably make good allround lurchers if time and patience was used in training them.not having ago at the coursing men/women, :notworthy: i enjoy a good chase,just my opinion.

    The more you handle them the easier it will become to tell them apart. Other than this if your having problems at a glance when working - try different color collars.

    don,t use collars,i,m a bit old fashioned lol,but i know what your saying about character,i got the impression yesterday ones going to be very determined and the others a bit less,but it was only first time so time will tell,cheers
