Excellent as usual. What separates this site from other pest control sites is simons care for the environment and compassion for the animal shot. No glory there. Excellent environment maintainable that a fellow countryman appreciates
Soon as that light starts fading it's not for the faint hearted this time of year !! We have taken a couple of foxes in the middle of the day last week, trying to get in the coupe.The farmer had a nice result, great shooting.
As always Simon another cracking video and nice shooting buddy. I started a channel at the beginning of the year, totally different to this but an interest I share with many from around the globe, pipe smoking! With the odd tale chucked in and I’ve only been going a month and I’m nearing 300 subs, yeh we are a minority but the group I’ve joined is just a great bunch of like minded lads and even lasses! But one thing I didn’t realise was just how much time it takes up preparing and editing then it’s responding to all the comments left as I feel if they have taken the time to watch them it’s only right I reply. But yeh I’m enjoying the journey buddy, I should have taken up the pipe years ago!
Brilliant pal nice one and ye i always think the same about replying to a comment and to be fair i do usually keep to my word but with out sounding a bit clever at times i get like over a 1000 comments to just one video and to be honest it gets bloody hard work😂👍
Hi mate, as far as I'm concerned the dictionary definition of the word 'consistent' should have a reference to your vids as they are all great and just so enjoyable and this was no exception plus the fact that you take the time whilst braving the elements to film your shoots is so appreciated for my part and I'm sure others would agree. Must admit I'd not heard of the make Sako until I started watching your vids, they are nice bits of kit...just wish they made air rifles lol. Probably showing my age now but like the reference to the A-Team with a plan coming together. Best wishes and glad to hear that Jack is ok.
Hey Simon another great video , I also use the the 58 gr V Max on coyotes with the 243 and 6mm x 223 ( 6 x 45 ) it works good but with the 243 it’s a little explosive and does some pellet damage if not hit solid . Please give Jack a treat for me . Stay well and strong my friend !…..
I'm sure Jack is much happier curled up in front of the fire at his age. Also the extreme cold isn't going to do his joints much good. Best left at home. We've got an older dog and sometimes they forget they are not a puppy any more lol
Hi Simon, I like your videos, you are a good shooter :) I would like to ask what kind of illuminator (IR) you use? With my TD50L, I don't have a chance at such a distance, I probably have a weak light... Thanks! Greetings from Slovakia
"Minus 5 and I've forgotten me gloves" 😂😂😂 Lol... honestly... I'm going to treat you to a pair of military surplus, blizzard mittens. Warm as toast and with a separate trigger finger.
Hi simon👍👍wow thermle amazing picher thats it bro norther 2problum foxs out the way lvly clean job dun by the best in the job got to be dun👍👍and like we always say if they wasant a problum with foxs you wouldant need to do eneythink aboght it its pestcontrol 👍👍thank you so much for your time simon give our jack big hug lv out to you and family god🙏bless you bro please be safe and happy pestcontrol bro👏👌👍
Hey up buddy. Your comment about Jack slowing you down made me smile. I wonder how many times he has thought that about you back at his peak of fitness. Great video ATB.
FairPlay Simon, your dedication to pest control can’t be faulted, two cracking specimens in great condition, but as we know they need to be kept under control for obvious reasons .
Good old Drone pro does the Buissnes again..on thease damp cold nights I use a heated band with a usb that plugs into a small battery pack and it keeps it from misting up got the idea from the camera boys when they use tele photo lense .
Great shooting again Simon, can’t beat the crisp cold nights out. Makes the fire feel warmer when you get back, give jack a scratch round the lug from me👍🏼
Brilliant video 💯, and I love your respect to 🦊like you say a shame they course problems, I work in the farming industry and live in a town OMG the amount of 🦊 I have cross my garden is amazing, use the same path across my lawn, some times I have gone outside and confronted one didn't bat an eyelid at me about 5ft away 😮 glad you left Jack home o🐕👍on that frosty night
I’m always amazed at the work, effort, time and talent put into these videos, walking, carrying equipment, photography, working out drop, wind, etc I can hardly work my iPad lol 😅
Hey at 6:23 your wearing a night buddy head lamp!! those things work really nice. What a great vid, lots of foxes hitting the ground! Simon was a pleasure watching this one!!
Good work Simon, As you said Foxes are usually quite predictable, but i’ve been out 5 nights before I got the one on my pals farm, every night it came from a different direction, one time it walk right past my car but i couldn’t get a safe shot at it. Last night it just turned up in the Horse field and i managed to knock it over, I’m glad they’re not all as difficult as that 🙈🏴.
Thanks as always Simon... I, like you, have great respect for wildlife but a hunter/pest controller has to do what must be done. I shoot what I have to only when I have to... there is no "just for the fun of it" on my watch... respect! 👍🏻
Always good to see someone who knows whats got to be done,but still has respect for the foe...unlike idiots on facebook groups for hunting who go bragging and making stupid jokes about how many they've in a night.But there are some who are like Simon and only goes out to dispatch problem foxes.Some even say it's just sport shooting and not controlling,they have a big point..cos not all are problems,only some of the idiots with the guns
Ye Jonny i think you know now i have big respect for the fox but i also know what damage they can do as i have seen it first hand but ye i try to keep things real and as yet 30 plus years down the line things seem to be just right 👌
37 degrees Celsius here today in Australia Simon. I won't complain so much about my winter lamb protection after seeing this. I don't know why someone like Zeiss who makes cameras and great scopes can't make at least an 8X optical base mag night vision scope. Nice and humane as usual my friend.
Thanks for posting, Simon. Like you say, it is a shame that the Foxes instinct to survive - causes so many problems for Farmers and Rare-species Ground-nesting Birds, that their numbers have to be controlled.
yet again great video pal, Jack is better off at home now a days the cold will get to him no doubt. I'm still having trouble with the Crows but slowly they are dwindling. all the best Pal ''As always'' 👍👍👍👍
Great performance out of the bullet . The 45 gr. V-Max has been excellent on the crow and rabbit size pest control. Took a little tinkering with powder and seating depth to get the accuracy needed, but that’s half the fun.
The drone pro gave a great image for that range! And..like your beanie...😊
Ye cracking NV is the drone my friend
Excellent as usual. What separates this site from other pest control sites is simons care for the environment and compassion for the animal shot. No glory there. Excellent environment maintainable that a fellow countryman appreciates
Thank you really appreciated my friend.
Soon as that light starts fading it's not for the faint hearted this time of year !! We have taken a couple of foxes in the middle of the day last week, trying to get in the coupe.The farmer had a nice result, great shooting.
Ye cheers pal hope fully Spring is around the corner.
Another excellent video. Same for the filming and shooting. really enjoyed it. Sucks to be laying in the wet, especially when it is cold out.
Lol ye Ridin for some strange reason when i am out there i never really feel un till i watch the video 😂
Well done Simon.
Thanks Bill.
Great shooting in the cold! It was 9F this morning here in the NH mountains.
Big hug and pat to Jack please!
100% i will my friend.
Great video and good marksmanship Simon. Nothing more to add.
Thumbs up and greetings from Norway 🇧🇻
Thank you.

Thanks, will do!

Excellent As Always simon and brilliant shooting thanks for your time

Great vid Simon really enjoyed that one. Now the cabinets full again im looking forward in doing the same. Farmer starts lambing in April.
Ye nice one Bob i have to put the Swarovski back on the 223 soon for Spring but saying that i might use a different scope this year will see.
Nice shooting Si we've had very little snow yet but the bloody rain has been relentless keep the videos coming catch you next time .👍🦊
Ye its been dismal here now for the last few months John
Nicely done!
Cheers pal.
Thats not the first time you forgot your gloves i think, bit cold to be forgetting them.😮
So glad you always show your respect for the fox.
Lol my age of 31 is showing 😂👌👍

Good shooting- as always. Nice film
Cheers
Thank you.
Those bullets don't mess about do they ! Down and out straight away. Cheers Simon 👍🏴
Pretty much what I was about to say.

Good old Drone pro does the Buissnes again..on thease damp cold nights I use a heated band with a usb that plugs into a small battery pack and it keeps it from misting up got the idea from the camera boys when they use tele photo lense .
Ye good idea that Dave to be fair
brilliant again Simon, I'm still going through your back catalogue, as a retired "keeper", i enjoy your plain speaking, no nonsense approach...
G
Ye thanks again Gary bet you see some action being a keeper
Great shooting Simon as always keep the videos coming Thanks for sharing
Thanks Bruce i sure will.
Great shooting again Simon, can’t beat the crisp cold nights out. Makes the fire feel warmer when you get back, give jack a scratch round the lug from me👍🏼
Hey from the Catskills Simon. Well done nip it in the bud. An extra biscuit for Jack!
Ye cheers chaps
Simon what was the pills you were giving jack gir his atheritis.
Did they work?
I cannot find the video.
Cheers mate.
To be honest William I have forgot what they were called
I've watched many hunting videos and I've never heard anyone talk as loud as you while hunting. Some people just don't know how to whisper
When I whisper you can't hear me 😅
Great result Simon farmers are so lucky that they can count on you to get out all weather to sort them out 👏🏻
Absolutely mate ye your right
you need to make a check list of items to take with you
number 1..the gun
number 2..a pair of gloves
Lol your right 100%
Great Post Simon pure dedication stay safe ATB 🤫👍
Thanks, you too!
I've lived in England and now Canada and I'd rather be outside in a Canadian -20c than an English -5c, dampness is the difference
Ye i know what you mean there
Great video, take an old towel with you to throw over the scope and ir, keep’s condensation and frost off until you’re ready to shoot.
Ye i usually stick my gloves over them but i forgot them 😂
Brilliant video 💯, and I love your respect to 🦊like you say a shame they course problems, I work in the farming industry and live in a town OMG the amount of 🦊 I have cross my garden is amazing, use the same path across my lawn, some times I have gone outside and confronted one didn't bat an eyelid at me about 5ft away 😮 glad you left Jack home o🐕👍on that frosty night
Nicely done.
Weather in the Scottish Borders has been awful
Ye same here pal
I’m always amazed at the work, effort, time and talent put into these videos, walking, carrying equipment, photography, working out drop, wind, etc I can hardly work my iPad lol 😅
Lol cheers John and to be fair it does take some doing
Nice shooting Simon. Now go warm yourself up!
I sure did lol
Thank you for the video Simon they are not going to coarse any trouble, give Jack the Spotter a big hug from me please.

curious as to what you do with the dead foxes.
The odd few get stuffed but usually just get buried pal.
Great video. Where in Uk are you
I would like to tell you but in all fairness I am better not saying.
