It all started with the hunting ban. If we would of all stood together instead of defending our own sport’s but we didn’t there were people disapproving of each other sports instead of all standing together. You had fishermen saying they didn’t like hunting with dogs. The same with some of the shooting fraternity. And these people didn’t see the bigger picture we are all under attack from the animals rights groups .
Conservation has a lot to do with it but also diseases in animals that are not controlled, but most people think that their food comes from the store not from farmers,shooting sports is major discipline teachings
70% of game shot in the UK is exported if we don't change away from lead, we will loose this market then we will our shooting. This is driven by the food market, it simple, change or we loose our shooting.!!
@@topfoxsniper Around my area, creatures shot are eaten by shooters and friends/family or buried because they are pests. No reason to let others dictate my shooting, especially as 95% of the time I shoot paper..
No 1.....As a old time fox shooter..I can for the life of me think why fox shooters want to film a fox being shot and then showing photos with half its insides hanging out..To me this gives the Anti brigade all the ammunition they need to lobby their MPs...No 2 No offence meant do you honestly think some one getting free bees or sponsorship or being paid are going to give a honest opinion on products they are promoting...As if they are going to say this product is rubbish...Just my opinion chaps...As a shoot community we are getting smaller and smaller...
I can only speak for myself, if I use something and I’m saying it’s good it’s because I honestly think it is. My opinion isn’t for sale. If I don’t like something I won’t use or review it I’ll simply send it back with a thanks but no thanks rather than giving it a bad review. In fairness competition is rife with manufacturers and there’s not much from the up markets brands that isn’t any good these days 🤷🏻♂️
I hunt bunnies with my CZ457 .22 using CCI 1050 FPS hollow points and MX38 thermal scope. Bunnies seem to be able to see without photons as they can see me coming.. Anyway, sensible question.. I shoot bunnies and am happy to take the bodies to a pal who feeds his ferrets. (and I get paid). I am extremely reluctant to shoot foxes with anything less than my .223 (which is F-LOUD even with a moderator), despite getting lots of hate from those who tell me I am wrong as THEY shoot foxes with ,22 HP subsonics ... but what do you do with dead foxes? IF I had to dispatch a fox on one of my many permissions, what do I do with a dead fox? Bunnies, ferret food.. Foxes ??
I wonder what would haopen if foxes were not controlled at all. I mean not trapped, shot or any other killing method. Would the farmer make a net loss due too inventory disapearence? like with many usa stores closing due to bad government policies and crime out of control. Theft from shops makes the business go out of business. It would be interesting to see what would happen.
Iv been lamping foxes a long time now, but even I see alot more people are going down the thermal route even here in Ireland. Very expensive kit all this thermal gear
Why shoot the foxes when they aren't a problem ? Im all for pest control but when they become an issue IMO. Leave the poor devil's to have some life until they start sneaking around poults or lambs etc.

You got Louisa Clutterbuck and Jodie Case mixed up.
Nothing about BASC or other organisations failing to put up a fight against a possible lead ammunition ban?

You seem to have switch the names and organizations of two of the women you interviewed.
You seemed to hit that fox a bit high going on him flipping upwards 👍
3 dead foxes, they don’t always drop on the spot, try filming and shooting at the same time 🤷🏻♂️
I always wonder how many foxes there are where I hunt...several locations..they just keep on coming!.... Australia
👍

I think some folks are shooting us all in the foot with some of these marketing & packaging videos, IMHO.

I prefer the sharks with lasers, if you think being a sportsman is blasting big holes in the animals, you should let them fight back in the same way
Foxes can’t use riffles
You been watching too much Austin powers 🤷🏻♂️
whatever happened to abit of old school lamping actually with a spotlight instead of all this night vision shooting

Times change, technology improves. You're there to do a job as quickly and efficiently as possible. Why live in the past.
Nice shoting mark i could do with you on my land for a night
Same thing that happened to the penny farthing, phone boxes and sensible people, gone with the times pretty much my friend!

When it's too late and the damage has been done you mean?
Run along and leave controlling foxes to people who know what they are doing 😔
It’s a sheep farm so they are a problem at lambing and I think I mentioned in the video they had been taking chickens from the farm 🤔
Bad shots on the first and the last fox. Way to triggerhappy 👎
