This extra large dho-gazza is 5 ft. high by any length from 15' to 30'
with 2" x 2" or 4" x 4" mesh (contact us if you need longer nets). The
fine thread size makes it almost invisible from the distance especially
when setup so that there are trees or some sort of vegetation in the
background so the approaching hawk could not detect the net....100% of
the hawks (I caught) that stooped at the bait never detected the nets
because of the grassy background.
This dho-gazza comes completely assembled and ready for use. It comes with our unique bases. However, to due the extra weight with the longer net, the bases will need to be weighed down (weight not included). I recommend using a concrete block or anything heavy enough to hold the poles upright.
Is This Extra Large Dho-Gazza Right For You?
My favorite set up is with two 30' long dg's. One in front of the bownet about 15' or far enough so that the fluttering pigeon can't get entangled in it and one about five feet behind the bownet. With this typical setup, I virtually catch anything that comes down on the pigeon. Most of these captures are with the front net, but there are some that do come in from behind or drop straight down onto the pigeon, but decided to pull up at the last second which in turn would be captured by the back dg.
*In technical terms, a dho-gazza is a one shelf/pocket mist net. A mist net usually has more than one shelf or pocket to retain the trapped birds. Mist nets for capturing larger birds similar size to hawks utilized this same netting, but have multiple panels to form multiple shelves. As far as effectiveness in capturing hawks, I have been trapping for many years and I firmly believe that dho-gazzas are better for catching hawks than mist nets. Mist nets are more suited for trapping small dicky birds. With the extra material required to form the shelves of a mist net, it makes it more detectable to the hawks so they are more likely able to avoid the nets.

This is the same style of dho-gazza I use on my permanent trapping station,
but slightly shorter. However, this dho-gazza is very portable. It
breaks down and folds to only approximately 28" long making it easy to
transport and easy to set up.
