when I first went ferreting in the early 50s my grandfather always used short nets either side of the set cutting through the hedge , if they ran out into the field they could get away but they seldom did that choosing to run down the hedge to the next set , sometimes I went out with an old chap from a place called Bunny and we did the boundary hedges together [ my job was to keep a tally on what was caught ] he always used purse nets , my grand farther was a keeper and Mr Walker from Bunny was an outlaw and probably used purse nets to keep the job tighter to the hedge.

I know bunny well Micky,,,lived in the village next door for two years,,,,this was over 10 year ago,,,, not many bunnys round bunny these days mate....lol

You set nets at night and leave them till the morning the rabbits will have chewed out of them mate

You tend to set them walk round in a large semi circle and chase the rabbits back into the net mate but give it a try and see if it works for you watch you dont end up with the dog balled up in the net
