    Mine was just good for latching onto my jack Russell who was actually a great worker

    I use the mesh boards from here http://www.agouti-nets.co.uk/category/41-mesh-boards 2 1/4 inch ones and the net I am making at the moment is 12 meshes but I will be adding a half a mesh either side for selvedge

    Maybe do a couple of purse nets to get started then start your longnet if you want a 100 yards set you need to knit 200 yards. I would do a couple of 50 yarders so thats a 100 yards. Hazel is fine for pegs You would need a tad over two spools of twine like this for a 100 yards of net to give you a 50 yarder http://www.agouti-ne...-long-net-twine I would make sure you are happy with your knots before starting the net though very frustrating to find your knots are rubbish 20 yards in oh and don't plan on using it this season unless you have loads of spare time. There will be much more ex

    Lol you don't want a terrier to go to ground for rabbits thats what a ferret is for. Did you bang your head or some thing

    Or just forget the hole and use a couple of cunningly placed 5 yard stop nets they are very handy to have in the bag and catch well

    Long Nets

    terryd replied to Karl Daw's topic in Longnetting

    The machine nets catch fine if they are made correctly like this one was and not by me but so do the home made ones But I do find the home made ones very nice to handle plus you have the satisfaction side of things. So my favourite net is the home made because it feels nice and I made it so I am slightly biased even if it is far from perfectly made But they both work fine

    I am double knotting a long net at the moment because for the life of me I have no luck with single knots and I want to be happy with the net when I finish in 2017

    Security

    terryd replied to Matt's topic in General Talk

    If some thing happens you need to know who it was and the only thing that will do that is cctv and a half tidy dvr and camera will about cost about 150 but it would be worth it. Other wise you wont have a clue who it was and there won't be sod all you can do or prove

    When I replace my cocker I was thinking of a terrier for ferreting as my best ferreting dog as a youngster was a jack Russell But in them days if he went to ground and you had to dig some thing out it wasn't the end of the world. But now a days I dont think I would get one because badgers are ever where and in some very public places so that would be a disaster waiting to happen

    If you make so there is no weakness she should just give in
  12. terryd
    same as ferrets really every time you pop them down a hole it could be the last time you see them but that's what they are for and enjoy

    I know which is the top and bottom well most of the time but when I go to peg the bottom line some times it is easy to get a mesh caught (at night) as well which gives you a tight spot Also your running lines should be in a big loop not separated

    Lamping is extremely risky for a dog lost my best luncher one night and if I ever get another I will be extremely careful where I go with the lamp

    I would agree with that makes it much more enjoyable if the ferret is happy to be handled by you and you work as a team rather than a ferret that is nervous of being handled and you have too watch your fingers all the time

    Hi Tom if you just use the search on this section of the forum with any topic you need to know about it should bring up plenty of reading

    Try cock tail sticks to pin the net on to the wood enough

    I would agree with that I am sure they have and do exist. But when you think what is required it would be one clever dog. It would have to nip around the edge of the field then quarter the field back to you and also not give chase or miss any ground and all in darkness. I could picture a sheep dog type being a good bet as that is they way they work sheep but a big ask. Unless you just meant for company in which case I would leave it at home. Stealth is key

    Sounds like a very good morning be very happy with that
  21. terryd
    Early days for me but I think I prefer the bigger stuff because it is easier too differentiate between the bottom line and netting when I am pegging the bottom line if that makes sense

    Fog and damp misty weather do not seem to work well for me
  23. terryd
    I don't hear people say that and it would not make sense any way. But people do seem too think its odd eating them like there is some thing unclean about them. But they are happy to eat chicken yet if they saw a chicken farm i think they would have a rethink if animal well fare bothered them at all
  24. terryd
    looks like it
  25. terryd
    Some thing else too consider is do you want some thing that could well drop to ground on a fox or worse a badger. Badgers are every where now a days and a tidy terrier may well decide to have a go which could be awkward
