In episode 23 of our monthly foxing series with 260RIPS (Mark Ripley), Mark is having a bit of a nightmare! Nothing seems to be going right for the fox shooting legend as an early start fails to gain the result he's hoping for (although he still doesn't go home empty handed!)... never one to give up easily, Mark refuses to give up. A solid plan turns into a pure battle of wills, and the question is: who is more determined, Mark of the fox!? Find out in this month's episode!

Nearly 19 minutes just for a crow and a fox, but that is why I like to watch these types of videos. It’s not just “bang bang bang”, it’s a story of a whole hunt from start to finish showing the effort that sometimes goes in to getting what you’re hunting.
Looking forward to the next one.
Excellent shooting Mr, 2 helpings of Mark Ripley in one evening 🤓
Spot on 👌
You can't beat a nice n quiet farm gate either 😅👍
This is a great video, many videos show trophy moments and make it all look easy, i think truth is, a lot of outings are carried out without seeing mr fox at all. Ive found it recently, see him, when totally unprepared, go out looking, and it goes like this: sqeek, scan, wait, repeat (over and over)....shoot an odd rabbit if I'm licky and go home to bed. Joys of foxing.
Love the hares mark,, fantastic beautiful animals😊👌🇬🇧❤️love the programme👊
Another Great Video 💯 Thanks Mark 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Hey, you Drive in the wrong side😅.
Always like to see your videos and I appreciate the time and loss of sleep that went into this one. Watching you sitting in the high seat and listening to the wind made me feel the cold and I was indoors!
Great video once again Mark
Nice shooting Mark.
The governor's in town 👌🦊
Old faithful out again.
Being hon est I probably have more no shoot outings than shoot one every time...seeing them is almost as good as nailing one...or more... Good night's and bad night's but its great to get out there..
Exactly that mate 😉
What I've found recently as trying to get back into the groove is; go out with an airgun for rats or the like, and I'll see a fox, go out with a rifle, looking for the fox and only see rabbits. Frustrating but it's all good practice and good to just get out when you can even if you don't fire a shot. One day....🤞, Also while waiting for my .233, I'm using a 17hmr, advantage is, when I give up on fox, I can pop a few rabbits to practice shooting off the sticks etc. Getting ready for Charlie!
Which ballistic calculator do you use Mark ?. And, patience really is a virtue mate. 🙂
Got one in the end well done🦊👌🎯 what’s happened to the truck🤔
Hopefully will be back in action this week! Would you believe I’ve been waiting on a part from Toyota for 9 weeks 😡! They still can’t say when it will come in so hoping to adapt a different part instead now!
Sorry only just seen this, that’s bad news then! Think you have it back now in latest video 😂👍
Mark,
I watched a video of yours recently that showed a radar chronograph, but I can's find it now. What product is that? It's like the Labradar but quite a bit cheaper.
Yes it’s the Fx true ballistics chrono available from sportsman gun centre 👍
When you say your different scopes return to zero do you have to put them back in the same place on your scope rail great video
Yes provided they are dropped back into the same slot 👍 I either mark the slot on the rail or note where the mount is in relation to the rail (ir flush with the end or one slot on the rail forward etc)
👌
Can I ask what do you do with the shot foxes? When I was young, the pelts were worth money.
Unfortunately the pelts are now worthless so I’m afraid to say they usually end up in the bottom of the slurry pit 🥴
