    Thanks Simon. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. I especially like that you take life with a purpose - you don't just blast away "because something's there." We do the same thing when we go for ground squirrels. Pests only.
    By the way. Congratulations on Jack trusting you to solo! 🙂

    Thank-you Simon, you almost bought a tear to my eye.
    Being on wrong side of 50, and long before thermal, night vision and electronic callers, I owned a Sako 75 Deluxe in 22-250.
    That rifle, together with it’s predecessor ( Sako L461 Vixen ) payed half the deposit in fox pelts on my first new car.
    Cheers, and thanks for your efforts.

Gets a bit scary on your Todd sometimes late at night or early morning. Just you and maybe a badger for example facing off just yards apart. Was that a big cat I just saw.

    Hi Simon we are near 40 degrees here in Australia I should be out after the teenage foxes now would be a bit more pleasant at night than what you have there. Do you ever take a pelt ? I tried once and it turned out much better than I could have thought. A tough job though. A shearer lent me his night vision binoculars so I'm having a bit of a look at what you are seeing. Quality lasts happy to see night vision still working after paying for itself. I expect my Sako to keep going my whole life.
