Axe Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) Cords, hooks, bags, how do you carry your rabbits in the field? A mate of mine gave me a large length of starter cord for chainsaws etc. Its very strong and certainly ties well. But i was getting fed up having to tie knots and then spend ages trying to undo them. So ive come up with a solution. At work we have thousands of spare key sets that come with equipment we supply. So I raided a box and removed all the rings which are 16mm in diameter. I then tied them on to the starter cord at intervals of 200mm with no more than 5 on each cord. This was ended with a larger ring of 30mm. Now all I have to do is thread the bare cord through the ring to make a loop which then goes over the legs and is pulled tight, quick and simple. Release is just as quick too. Also with the large ring on one end, I can loop over branches and over the larger ring which holds the cord in place, like a toggle. No more knots. The best thing is they didnt cost a penny and the rabbits stiffen uniformly. Thought i'd share this with others as it works really well for me in the field. Regards, Axe.

Axe Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Heres a pic of a 3 ring/rabbit string I made out of the remaining starter cord. Hope you all find it as useful as I have. Regards, Axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidsalmon Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Or you could hock them and thread the same cord through their legs without the need of the rings and knots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 That has since been suggested but this way I dont have to fuss about cutting between tendons in the middle of my shoot and it is far quicker. What does everyone else do? Regards, Axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackthorn Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 try missing or get someone else to carry them that aviator is posh in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Why use the rings (in the picture) as I`m sure most of us can tie a slip knot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
