much the same but gate nets are more for hares and stop ones for likes of when doing a hedge with 2 long nets either side put stop nets through gaps in hedges stops bunnys running the lenght of the net but i might be wrong

WELL FELLAS ,

 

THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ....... BUT BOTH CAN BE UTILISED IN SIMILAR WAYS FOR HARES AND RABBITS ........

 

THE NETS SHOWN ON HERE RECENTLY AND CALLED HARE NETS ARE NOTHING OF THE SORT ... JUST STOP NETS ,

THE GATE NET IS A FINE TOOL FOR TAKING HARES ...... BUT WITHOUT FIELDCRAFT , KNOWLEDGE AND A DECENT DOG ....... THEY WILL HANG IN SHEDS UP AND DOWN THE COUNTRY GIVEN UP AS A BAD JOB LIKE 99 % OF OTHERS ......

 

ALL THE BEST

i was told today that a gate net is like a big purse net and as sliders to catch the hare,and a stop net is as you say a small long net for putting in gaps in hedgers.Do you need end pins for a stop net?

yes you need poles for a stop net only 2

end [PINS] for the top and bottom lines as in a traditonal long net. NOT POLES

I use end pins on my stopnets to keep the top line up,NOT running like a longnet though more of an anchor

A stop net is a long net usual placed threw a hedge from one long net on one side of the hedge to the long net on the other side of the hedge.Or across a bury that has been surrounded by long nets.

It is called a stop net because it STOPS the rabbits running along the hedge or across the bury from hole to hole.

A gate net is set along the bottom of a gate (hence the name) to catch hairs leaving the field under the gate.

Hope this helps P1
