FOXES LOVE A NEW SOUND
FOXES LOVE A NEW SOUND.
In this video, I'm out over 3 nights and trying out two new fox calls. They certainly seem to do the job on the Foxes I call in for dinner.
More from Jethrow, the Cornish Foxing Supremo too, and I'm continuing to use and love the Ludicrous Lumens Wraith ESL torch.

Nice video again David. 🦊👌🏼
Hello Bart, Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍
What is the fox caller you use
BestFoxCall GC500, there’s a link to the website in the description chap
hi david nice video as always. where did you get the new sounds from i've checked the icotec web site but can't find them. found one called ico squealing pup but thats in coyote pup distress bit.
It’s the standard calls on the GC500. Just go by the numbers shown, the squealing one works well
Another excellent video David, well done. Geoff.
Thanks very much Geoff👍👍
Squirrel is an invasive, but what's the point of killing birds? Not good, man.
The birds that get shot are Corvids, these are the main offenders for robbing songbirds nests and killing chicks. Big problem where I live, I’ve not seen a Song Thrush for years
You keep knocking them down David well done we’re starting to get some harvest in though bits here and there so still plenty of cover so hopefully start catching up lol 🤣
Good luck Pete 👍
IM IN NORTH CORNWALL foxes here VERY WARY
Hi Brian, those ones I’ve shown aren’t far from you chap, it’s in the kiss I think 🤔😉
You doing some bragging, you got a mate with you and another mate out after another fox 😂😂 It's called the cornish kiss mate I call as many in daylight as I do in the dark buddy. Another great video pard 👍 Got a can of wd40 here for you pal 😂
I’ll see you in four weeks and you can give me a kiss then 🥰🥰
Only as long as you don't grow that beard again pard 😂 I would take you out after foxes but you would have to use my 243 with a pard 007 fitted and I know how much you like them 😉
@KernowPestControl 😉👍
@@KernowPestControl Nothing wrong with pards, I've got an alpex and Zulus now after a bit of a splurge earlier in the year but wouldn't get rid of the 007, I'd swap it for a 12 mm version though to get a wider fov if anyone's keen. 👍
Great video as always mate. But are you sure it was a sqeaky door? Could have been your wallet 😂 keep up the good work 👍
Busted !! Ok you’ve got me there 👍😄 Remember I know where you live 🫵
@@predatorprotectionuk and I know where you live. You might just have to remind of your address again 😂😂
Well done, David. I can't wait for the next one! Thanks.
Cheers Mick, I think you’ll have to unfortunately 😂😂
It's great when we show our odd little discrepancies. It shows we're human. LOL I enjoyed this one mate. 🙂
Well that’s exactly what I try to get across on my videos. OK, they don’t get millions of views but if I can show the viewer what actually goes on, squeaky doors and all, then I think it’s as real as it gets
Nice work there David!! Ive found exactly the same thing if going for that type of awkward shot, the controls are just too awkward to get to. Made for supported shooting! Nicely shot though especially without a tripod or bipod etc!!!
Cheers matey, that’s as real as it gets I think, but I’m patiently waiting for an expert to tell me how to do it better 😂😂
@@predatorprotectionuk I'm sure you won't need to wait too long 🤣
Get in never won any thing before ever 😊
Nice work ,you should get Jeftho to record his call for you and try that 😊
He’s blowing it kisses, that’s all
@@predatorprotectionuk still reckon you should give it a go for giggles
Kiss of death 😂
U ever try a call that the foxes are killin'an eatin'? Like a 🐔
Yes we do, the pheasant in distress is usually a good one
U still using an IR 850?
Yes, I’ve got a 940 but not tried it yet
Good deal 🦊🎯 👍🏼🤠✌🏻
First
You win two tickets to last weekends game fair Davy 🫵👍👍👍
Does the Wraith illuminator have a remote switch lead option?
Hello Chris, The torch I’ve been asked to use does not, but I’ll contact Andy at the company and ask him if he can make those 👍
I’ve been speaking to Andy, and he said he can’t make a remote switch for a torch with a dimmer switch on it, it’s either on or off 🤷🏼♂️
Number 12 is the best shot
Thanks Michael, but that competition ended last August 👍😄
nice
The image looks ok but the rangefinder is about as much use as tits on a fish!! They'd be better off with the rangefinding tech and the NETD rating from their monoculars. It would be some scope then.
You’re right chap , that’s old technology and an old video. Things have moved on drastically now, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future
Good video that young man. Pleased you didn’t show us your white bits from holiday.
I’ll save that for when we’re in Cozy Korner next time 🥰🥰👍 Did you bring me any chopsticks back 🤷🏼♂️
Very interesting, David. I was impressed by that one fox that just sat there, as though in a theatre waiting for the action to start. Clever mount for the thermal, too.Well done. It is quite good to see you getting around so well these days, too. Malta, huh? All the best, Jim
Hi Jim, Well we were waiting for a ticket to South Carolina, but jet2 don’t go there 😉😂😂
Hi mate another awesome vid as always , any news wen the update is out for the colour change on the alpex cross hair
Hello and thank you 👍 No I’ve not heard anything from my little contact at HikMicro yet but I know they’ve been very busy with an international conference they held, Robin will have a video out soon with Fieldsports Britain about that soon. Just keep checking your app for a red update alert, I look every day 👍
@@predatorprotectionuk OK thx mate , I'm always checking to lol
@@fxking.25 I’ve just WhatsApped my contact in the technical team at HikMicro asking for an update, so standby 👍🫵
@@predatorprotectionuk do well thx very much 👍
Nice to see you back pard. Still not done nothing myself with the videos but think I am making headway at last. Did upload one using the program you use but when uploaded there was lots missing from it so deleted it, I hate moder technology 😅😅. Those rounds are making some thump pard, they won't run far from that.
Call me later mate, I’ll be home by 16:10
Great as usual! Thank you.
Cheers Mick, although I see someone wasn’t happy with Fox number 2 🤔🫢 Naughty Step for me
@predatorprotectionuk unfortunately it isn't an exact science, these things happen! Hope you had a good time away. Regards Mick
@mickibbett2120 great thanks matey, very hot though 🥵🥵
Magnifique vidéo 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏 avec de très jolis tirs 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏 !!🤗🤗
Merci Bien 👍👍
Great video Dave with plenty of action. And that looks a decent ir touch as well. Certainly worked with the Alpex and didn't white or anything
I’d buy one Jim 👍
Hello , love the video as always , lots of interesting information , you said you wold be driving round with no lights on as you have a thermal spotter on the roof ? have you found away of turning the day time running lights off on your car as i would like to switch them of on mine when im off road shooting . keep the videos coming great work
Hi Kevin, Yes, I spent almost 3 years building vehicles for the military and law enforcement, so I’ve got a switch that cuts off all the lights, reversing camera, bells , keys left in gongs, you name it, it off. Just put back on the seatbelt and it returns the car to road use. It’s very useful for creeping around unnoticed
I've found that a cheap green laser, 18650 battery with on off switch..not just momentary .has been wonderful to find foxes..mounted with a figure 8 clamp to the scope. Does the alpex have an option for a finer reticle? Like the thermal driving picture.... apparently some people eig up a reversing camera to the front of car.. Good shooting Dave. Thanks.
Hi Sam, Yes there are some very fine reticle choices, but sometimes a viewer would struggle to see them, look at the clip from Jethrow, you’ll see what I mean
@@predatorprotectionuk jethrow?
@misterlewgee8874 on the video
You are in 'fine form' in this video David. Interesting viewing as always, Thanks.
Thanks Reg, what’s the weather like in Canada?🇨🇦
@@predatorprotectionuk Today sunny, and forecast high of 24C / 75F, in my little part of this country. :)
@regsparkes6507 it was 40 every day and 26 at night in Malta 🥵🥵🥵
A wouldnt say fine form after second one.
@bengrain4986 oh to be 100% perfect all the time eh ? It must be great
Another cracking video 😊
Thank very much for watching matey 👍
@predatorprotectionuk could I please ask for your advice, I was talking to a m8 today. He's looking for a pair binoculars, something he can look at the moon and stars and wildlife, and record, and night vision, his budget is around £500 ,he's not a shooter but lives in the country, any ideas, I've gone down the rabbit hole of looking then though "I know a man that knows his stuff lol" ???
@@crazycressy7986 not for £500. There’s not a lot that will be much good at that number unfortunately
@predatorprotectionuk just spoken to him again, he just wants them for watching wildlife in the fields
Well done David knocking them down again holiday must have done you good lol 👍 started harvest up here so be out myself soon 👍
Cheers Pete, first time I’d been away since Christmas 2021 . Bloody hips 🫢🤷🏼♂️
@@predatorprotectionuk sorted now then no holding you back lol 😆
Good to see you back on the air 👍, Good work on the foxes, that ir light seems to have a good range of adjustment. Could you go from full screen to tight square beam with just the front head adjument? Cheers
Hello Stephen, just screw the back portion in and out to go from flood to spot. I’m still getting used to it but it’s excellent 👍
@@predatorprotectionuk Ah yes, I think from what I heard from another chap on a forum, the rear adjustment may cause a slight shift in the alignment of the light (within the field of view) whereas if you can do your "on the night" adjustment with the front, it will stay exactly where you set it (on screen) just a thought for when your next testing 👍👍 So when setting up, keep the front one at the widest, then tighten the beam with the rear adjustment so it just fills the screen then don't touch the rear one anymore. Use the front to adjust in the field when magnifying etc. Be interesting to see how that goes. # And maybe like you said, when setting it up, adjust to a fairly tight beam and align the mount so it's just above the reticle, might help with grass reflection etc. I know it all sounds anal but nothing worse than having to fiddle to get torch aligned when your on a fox🤣
@stephenoshea1166 oh you can fiddle around for hours matey to get exactly what you need, I don’t think an hour of me doing that would have been appreciated 😄
@@predatorprotectionuk no not on video, 🤣
What was wrong with your condor spotter? Just brought one starting to worry about all the horror storys with them
Think it was just on loan for demonstration to viewers 👍 I shouldn't worry, from reading the forums, the issues have been resolved and they give a decent warranty anyway.
@stephenoshea1166 Thanks mate hoping I'm one of the lucky ones 👍
@@Shhooottteeerrr I was looking into it quite a bit as a condor was on my short list, ended up going for the habroks in the end, which Im very pleased with, although on some occasions I'd feel the monocular would be the the better choice, be good to have both if they weren't so expensive.🤣
Nothing wrong with it at all !! It was on loan demo. Treat all technical scopes like a new car or phone, sometimes they go wrong 🤷🏼♂️👍
Thanks Stephen, I think there may be some folks that have missed videos where I’ve stated that some of the kit I use is on loan. But thanks for explaining for me 👍👍
For measuring I use google earth. It has a measuring function on it that’s smack on, I’ve tested it against rangefinder and there’s not even a meter in it.
Wish the foxes around me were that quite
It just goes to show how different they are in other counties
I'm in Cornwall too, for me there's no rhyme or reason to it, depends on the fox and the night, maybe even the time of year.... ? , sometimes they'll come to the squeak like a well behaved pet, but more often, not so obliging, in fact sometimes a call sends them off in the other direction and you wish you just took the long shot 😂
@stephenoshea1166 they think it’s a ginsters pasty wrapper they can hear opening 😂😂
Were you using the 850 or 940nm David ?. Looks a decent bit of kit. And you did the poor old bugger a favour there too.
Hello chum, I’m sorry I failed to mention I was using the 850, I have been sent a 940 too, but will try that on rats, as the 850 didn’t seem to bother anything this weekend
Well done for getting skippy old chap 🤓
@ 7:36 only a kid from the 80's would fully understand 🤣🤣
Ah ! It’s detective lieutenant Frank Dreben 😀😀 I love all your films 👍👍 Thanks for watching mine
What a flog 👎
Hey mate, whats scope is that?
Alpex 4k non LRF
@@predatorprotectionuk Thanks for that, looking at the LRF option. How do you find the scope?
It’s very good during daylight and terrific at night. I think if you want a scope where you can change the image settings, then I’d recommend using the Sightmark Wraith 4k Max.
Excellent video. 👌. Got all the info I needed. Love the idea of the door buffers on the mk1, gonna nick that. 😂👌👌.
You help yourself chum, you won’t miss that button ever again 👍
Well done, lost count of how many you got!
14 that night in total, one technical error, I deleted a shot before I downloaded it 🤷🏼♂️🫢😁
What make lad
Ludicrous Lumens .
Looks great! Love the flashing accesories too 😂😂
Thanks Gary, They were a secret Santa present about 15 years ago, and I found them a while back and was amazed they still worked on the original batteries 😂
Glad to see the "disability" mods working chap
Ah ! My manbily clamp and ball mount has just arrived, and I’m hoping it’ll make a massive difference to the setup 🤞🏼 It certainly feels more solid now than the original did. Disabled, indeed 🫵😉
@@predatorprotectionuk
Simply top stuff
Thanks Sam
The thump of satisfaction, those rounds don’t half hit with a thud eh! Proper job two less to worry about. Great video as always fella.
Thanks very much chum, I’ve got some new ammo being built for me that does not exit the other side, but detonates inside turning the insides to jelly . They should be fun to use
