We join Richard Saunders controlling grey squirrels in this week’s episode. Walkaround tactics don’t cut it but the action soon picks up when Richard moves into his hide to avoid the showery weather.
Also in this week’s show, Mat takes a look at the MTC King Cobra F2 in its 4-16x50 guise. With excellent optics and a sensible asking price, it looks set to be a big hit with airgun shooters looking for a quality gunsight.

I'm glad to see these videos. Aggressive grey squirrels, here in the Ozarks, are also a nuisance. They have decimamated the red squirrel, the fox squirrels, and the flying squirrels populations. Not to mention the bird nest and trees that they have destroyed. Don't get me started on the building damages! At least mydog and I can eat them. Great job of editing. You're videos are very well put together.
Great shooting by Richard , and a really nice scope by MTC ( got 3 ) so its a Merry Christmas and an happy and healthy new year , to everyone who's watching as well as Matt & Dick ..
Thanks and same to you Mark. All the best for Christmas and the new year.
Great video as ever Rich. Stalking through noisy leaf litter like that is so hard……..
Good effort and some good shots from the hide. Looking forward to more content in the New Year 👍👍
Thanks Jonny. Hope to see you soon...

It’s nice to have the first like, well done Matt superb show.
Great video and I’m a new subscriber
Thanks for that, and glad you enjoyed it. All the best for Christmas and the new year.
Excellent vid as always, really enjoyed it. Can you please tell what hide is used? It looks exactly what I'm after. Thanks.
Sorry for not replying sooner. Its a Bushwear TP hide.
@@richsaunders6515 Thanks, will be having a nosey round for one of those. Looks ideal for what I want.
Seems a bit baity to shoot em off feeders. I enjoy squirrel hunting very much, delicious meat great tail fur for tying flies for fishing. To each their own. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Michael. Nothing beats feeders when it comes to squirrel control. The trees in the woods are grown for their lumber value, so keeping the numbers in check has a direct benefit to the landowner's bottom line. And you saw how 'successful' I was when trying a roving approach!
is that the silencer that comes with the gun, mine seems a lot louder than yours. Cheers
Good shooting Richard,.,.. not a bad 'tally' for the time you had. I think this must be a 'target rich environment', especially with the peanuts to draw them in!
They do love a peanut. Who doesn't at Christmas! All the best for Christmas and the new year.
@@richsaunders6515 Cheers, in the real meaning of Christmas, and al the best of good health and happiness in the new year 2022!
Salam dari indonesia,senapannya keren ser
Another great pest control session there, but can I ask @Rich Saunders why you carry your rifle in your arms, why not use a sling for hands-free carry, especially with a heavier day & night scope on board?
Happy Christmas & all the best for a happy & healthy 2022. 👍🤞
Cheers. Russ
Hi Russ. Simply because its a relatively new rifle for me and I haven't got around to it yet. It does need one though. Happy Christmas and best wishes for the new year...
@@richsaunders6515 Ah no worries Rich, all the best to you too. 👍
Cheers. Russ
Remember these guys are often miles from anywhere on there own and are running the risk of getting wet and catching pneumonia, getting bitten by a wounded squirrel and all the time carrying a super dangerous weapon.
I know they carry 2 or 3 mobile phones on different networks to make sure they can call for help when needed and who can blame them.
We love you guys for putting your lives on the line to protect the nation's woods.
RIP to all the squirrels.
Hi bro what distance from your nest to target squirrel
Hey are you using a 177 or 22 you didn’t give that information at the start. I’m looking to buy one of these but having a massive debate I will be using it for the same purposes.
Hi James. Its a .22. I find that when shooting rats and squirrels most of my shots are between 8 and 20m. With a .22 rifle zeroed at 20m I can aim on for shots in that range with one mildot of holdover at 30m. By contrast, I find a .177 zeroed at 20m is on at 20 and 30 but requires aim off at less than 20. As a result, I prefer .22 for rat and squirrel shooting. I hope that helps.
What’s that little silver thing attached next to the feeder
Lee - its a spinner. I have one on most of my feeders just so I can check my zero at the start of a session...
What hide is he using on the squirrel feeder?
Hi Ian. Its a Bushwear TP. I put a link in but UA-cam took it out again. Easy enough to find if you search for it. About £75...Rich.
Geezers walking around with a 400 quid air rifle £1000 scope and a 2 grand thermal spotter lol
@Broad Side I just find it funny m8 I have a nice scope and thermal spotter as well 3k of kit on 400 quid rifle tiggles me thats it. I didn't abuse him or belittle him
I don't care what equipment he uses as long as the rifle is sub 12.
How do you get permission to shoot here
Now there's a question! Getting a permission can be difficult. This video might help you out: ua-cam.com/video/9h8UmSvjMlQ/v-deo.html Good luck!
Why do you shoot the squirrels is there a reason
Hi Phil. Thanks for the question as I neglected to explain that in the video. There are a number of reasons why I control them: 1) Grey squirrels strip bark from trees, damaging the wood and even killing limbs and entire trees. That might not be a problem in woods left to grow wild, but on the permission in the film the wood is grown for its lumber value, so scarred wood and dead trees costs money. 2) Grey squirrels are an invasive species introduced by the Victorians from north America to make London parks more interesting. That's not the squirrels' fault though, but as a result, they have decimated the native red squirrel population both by carrying a disease (squirrel pox) and by our out-competing them for food. 3) Grey squirrels are harmful to other native species; they predate on song bird eggs and chicks and they are also highly tolerant of tannins. As a result, they are able to eat fruit, nuts and berries before they are ripe, denying them to other species like the dormouse and field mouse that rely on them when they come out of hibernation. In fact, I understand that one of the main causes of the decline of field and dormice is the fact that grey squirrels eat all the hazel nuts before the mice wake up. Finally, all the squirrels I shoot are taken to a bird of prey centre to feed the hawks, eagle and owls. I hope that helps. Have a great Christmas.
Using that junk ATN scope they serine to close shop and go out of business. Worst customer service ever and all they sell is broken promises and over priced pieces of shit optics
Sorry to hear that. Mine works just fine. All the best for Christmas and the new year.
I THINK THAT KILLING ANIMALS IN THE WOODS IS TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER THEY ARE IN THEIR OWN HABITAT AND NOT HARMING ANYONE YOU ARE KILLING UNNECESSARY YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR SELF NOT ENTERTAIN AT ALL
