beany01 223 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hello all, Has anyone got much experience using donk boards? Ive got some paddocks with large, well established hedgerows with stock fencing both sides. Its a bloody nightmare having to get the secateurs out, cut my way through, then thread the longnets through, using bits of branches etc twiddled through the lines around the fencing to keep them up. I was wondering if donk boards could make my life fair easier?? Slide them through, so it will push the bunnies in to the longnets? Quote Link to post
beany01 223 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I was thinking the hedgerows are about 8ft wide, if I got two 4ft boards and put them through the hedge in a v shape, there would be more chance they would push out the hedge, rather than have a straight board and then turning back 2 Quote Link to post

beany01 223 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Well I haven’t got a dog, it’s not fair for me to leave it on it’s own while I’m at work. The rabbits all bolt really hard at this permission, one hit the long net a few days ago and done a somersault and flipped over the net. Low flying rabbit! Quote Link to post
