59.36 <-- Really really near the city :)! Got my first 3 from the first 3 mobs i killed:)
It does not matter whether they have used net during the fight or not. In fact during an extended fight involving multiple mobs, the poacher used net twice and I still got the drop.

Description
Pardon me, but I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with Chawn. I'd like to help. I'm studying the Blackwing Coven, and helping the druids in their dealings with them. I am very interested in acquiring a few of their dragon whelps; it would help us to gauge exactly what we're up against by understanding that which they revere. But first, we're going to need to acquire some nets. I noticed that the wyrmcult poachers out in the Ruuan Weald have an abundance of them.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- ...and a Time for Action
We will not stand idly by while they decimate the Ruuan Weald around us. Our first priority must be to the trees. <class>, I want you to go back out into the Weald and deliver a very different message for us. I want you to slay every one of their hewers that you come into contact with!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Whelps of the Wyrmcult
I need to examine the whelps that they are raising at the Blackwing Coven. There should be an abundance of them flying around inside their cavernous base, as well as a number of eggs, which if you get close to them will likely hatch.
