    Banter..i understand your going for hares..will you be walking in the field by yourself when you've placed the net ?.

    Banter , why 6"mesh ?. Hot meat, do you seriously carry stones around with you ?.
  7. If it was youd be doing me outa a job ... ..lovely looking net by the way...but it would look a lot nicer hanked up on pins
  8. Same happened to me a few year ago, I was given permission from our local junior school to shoot the rabbits with airgun . not 10 minutes into action I had a copper chopper hovering overhead ready to land on the fecking field. so ups I get and walks over to the caretakers bungalow only to be stopped by two armed police and a very embarrassed caretaker...who said "sorry pal I forgot to let them know"... ..a resident had phoned them saying shed seen a masked man with a big gun !
  9. Sold for £36.50....anyone we know ?....foxtails ?
  10. Cmon guys aint there no-one got any questions for pete ?.. Another for you pete, im a long netter/netsman and we use different types of twine and mesh sizes for different situations/species does this also apply to mist netting or any other style of net to catch birds for ringing ?.
  11. The worst ones for me are those that ask advice ...they then read your reply and never acknowledge you.
  12. Pete, do the traps you use have to be approved by the bto or could you make your own ?.
  13. Not boring anyone mate keep em coming. that little bitch is coming along nicely.
  14. Feck me im going to use up all my "likes" on this thread.. cheers pete im getting a list together of bird ringing questions
  15. Another question pete, do you get allocated a certain amount of rings per year ? do you have to pay for the rings or does the bto pay ?.
  16. Cheers pete, Another question for you.....do you have to have a permit before you can buy the "Gear" ?... id like to think I payed my way on the long journey.
  17. Pete, who actually assesses you in obtaining theses permits is it your mentor/trainer or a independent person ?.
  18. @ foxails....dig deep mate itll be worth it
  19. Difficult one....personally id have stuck it up in a bush/tree as high as I could, on saying that i did the same with I linnet chick but the bugger kept jumping to the ground so I left him to his own devises.
  20. I wonder just how many nets there are around the country just lying around? Mr Goodcat Far too many...imo most people buy them with good intentions but lack the knowledge/skill to use them. if were all honest we messed up and got it wrong in the beginning but perseverance pays..i must admit I was very privileged to have been taught by( imo) one of the countrys top longnetters/netsman, and owe him a great deal of gratitude.
