went out last night , just me and one of the collies, we cast out 3 times 67 rabbits, it took less time catching them than it did doing nine trips back to the van with the catch and the nets, total time out 2hrs 50mins, cant imagine how many we would have had if I'd had a net man,
btw best night ever out on my own, but it was a buggar setting the nets in wind that strong

What do you do with the rabbits? Are they sold locally or used by yourself. I would have thought they would be ideal table food as there's no lead in them.

some are sold locally to various pubs/restuarants(£2.50ea) and I save a few for ourselves

Good price Darren. They are 4 for £10 or 2.99 each at our butchers.
