highdowns hunter Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Well I have never been a pegger :*) but used to be a tailer Used to make tails out of brasing rod and hessian rope then attach it to some of the miners belts (coal mines) Funny to see coal miners with 2ft long bushy tails B) :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbus Polumbus Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 For a second there YP......................... I followed the link and couldn't believe it. I really thought you needed to get out more or stop drinking or both B) I have ferreted in my time with the great Leicestershire Wildfowlers ferret section............ I know don't ask ok they had a ferret section. But never long netted :wacko: Would love to give it a go tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new to the flock Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 I bet you could set up a swap with someone for a days long netting, learning the art of pegging, for say a afternoon shoot on the farm,....or in exchange for a day learning some craft you know YP.....Drinking and womenizing are not considered crafts.

Pigeon Pieman Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Yep, my brother's basement is full of long netting. Usually gets a good work out in the winter. Set up in the day, dropped in the dark. Lots of running about follows!!!! B) :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooktrout Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Fifty years on since the introduction of myxomotosis and were still talking about longnetting. Great stuff, and a victory for the humble coney that has beaten the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimm Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Piggy pie what method doe`s your brother use then when long netting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Pieman Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Hi Vimm, Bro's basement is just to keep 'em dry and tidy! We usually set them out around lunchtime, sometimes two or three days in advance. Bro developed a clip thing that allows the nets to be gathered at the top of the poles, then dropped by pulling a series of pins all attached to a long chord. This allows the nets to be dropped long after setting them up, once Mr Bunny has got used to them. Drop them in the late evening (after dark) and walk Mr Bunny and family off the fields into the net! Hey presto!! Lots of bunnies! B) :wacko: He also found some odourless spray that waterproofs the netting (although most is man made now anyway) so leaving them out isn't a major issue. This process works well in our area - near the South Downs with acres and acres of grassland. Sometimes we use them as stop nets to stop bunnies running from one bury to another if the areas of holes are vast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiercel Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 If you look in the photo section under" pegging the tools" there is a photo of the tools that you need to go pegging. Its not the only meathod by any means but it works well enough. And you can do it single handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimm Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 So your bro uses the drop nett method then. No need for the waterproof spray and god would you need some tins for a 100 yard net,lol. Just wondering doe`s he also use the traditional drop method and also the ready sett method?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
