Purse Nets

[John Jackson 0]

Hi I'm new to this group and would like some advice on how to set my nets up as there has been sent occasions where the rabbit has slipped under the net and escaped what am I doing wrong

Thank you in advance

people set there nets different to each other and most swear there way is right. I personally like to leave the bottom of the net a little bit down the burrow few inch in and like to have the net slack so it dips into the burrow if that makes sense..dont worry about the odd rabbit getting away it happens to us all and he who says other wise is a liar. have a look on youtube see if that helps and if you still need any help give me a shout your not to far away from me could even give you a day out sometime atb ​

Have the draw cord and peg above the hole with no slack. As said, have the bottom of the net folded towards the burrow a little bit.

Lots of examples here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL61KCPh8ymANKOPWt4w-F1HYqudY2G7TP

As said i like as much net as i can down the burrow , spread ample round the hole a tight draw cord with the peg angled away and when the rabbit steps onto your net he should be your if no and he gets away hes breeding stock

Your clip is a perfect example why plenty of bagging is what you need, people think it's only a purse net for a rabbit. It still needs plenty of bagging and set correctly good clip bud

 

 

You are bang on I am a firm believer in showing the things that go wrong as well as right.

An example of not clearing round the hole but it was a hands and knees thorny old job lol. At normal play back speed this one you don't even see the rabbit its that quick
