When we are dealing with injured waterfowl, raptors, or stressed wildlife, the net matters. The Frabill Conservation Series 20 x 23 inch landing net uses a rubber, knotless bag that is far safer for feathers and toes than traditional nylon nets. The reinforced camlock handle holds firm during capture, which reduces second attempts and stress on the animal. This is the kind of net we would actually grab for a goose in a parking lot or a hawk pinned against fencing.
