Synopsis
The prolific rabbit is a listed pest species whose numbers are increasing to levels that have not been seen since pre-myxomatosis days. Rabbit numbers need to be reduced and long netting is both a high effective method of pest control and an exciting and enjoyable sport. This detailed book tells you everything you need to know about long netting, including the quarry and where to find it; the types of nets and equipment that are available; the different ways of setting nets both during day and night; the use of dogs; how to use traps; how to craft long nets and purse nets by hand ; and the advantages of handmade nets over manufactured nets.
