is longnetting what i want?

[ROB.BOB 21]

on my permission there are a few places where there a long strait bits of fence with no cover on the field side.... but so thick on the other that its impossible to stalk the rabbits from with my air rifle.

 

im not even 40% sure of how to use longnets, and im not allowed ferrets or a corsing dog but is their some way of setting them up so the when the rabbits go out to feed you can make the net drop down and as they runn for their warren the run into the net?

 

or is this utter bullsh!t that i thought up out of desperation?

 

any help would be usefull

 

cheers rob

But instead of dummy nets use a header line with strings hanging from it to mimic the action of a net. A certain fine gent on here put me straight on that one in his book "Peg to Peg"

 

For a good read and stacks of useful information I would thoroughly recommend it.

 

If you pm Molecatcher on here, he may able to sell you a copy direct.

 

good luck.
