@Chippychow

What is the problem with a rectangular net? It seems an advantage to have a rectangular net when shooting it from ground level -- just make sure the short sides are to your right right and left! I'd try and find orange netting, what with colour blind animals still being spooked by seeing white, saves you hassle trying to hide the net behind those orange flaps.

Here is a link with some net guns. Useful cones to hold the net safe within. See also the suspended net capture device - useful with bait perhaps for your goats even though it would be a shame to abandon the project.
