XD I love all the people saying Steve is evil for killing foxes when they fail to realise that he is helping conserve animals that are supposed to be here and getting rid of pests

Tall KnowItAll, a very small percentage of Australia is from the also Saxons and only 40% of Australian are English

Its a 17 HMR. Great small game caliber.

Foxes are not native to Australia. They are a problem for farmers as they kill a lot of lambs but the main reason people hunt them is because they are responsible for killing alot of smaller native animals and birds. They are the reason some native species are extinct in parts of Australia.

I had no idea how many foxes were around, good shooting guys

Good to see you have a 9422m. I was left one from my grandfather and love it if I had the money I would buy another one. Good video keep them coming.

I use the same whistle... it's freaking awesome. Grate video mate.

Love your work Steve

I really like both calibers. If your shooting for pelts or whistling, I would say the .22mag is the best as it doesn't do much damage and it also isn't as noisy, if your shooting for pest eradication or an area where the foxes are under greater hunting presure, the .223 would be the pick of the two as you can take longer shots.

Y are there 100 dislikes if you don't like hunting than don't fkn watch it simple as that I gave it a like

awesome fox whistle Steve Thanks. And you made another great Video of coarse!!!

Nice work on the Foxes Steve. Silva seems to work a treat.

Great whistle and footage guys

The .17HMR is my pick for foxes if you want to keep the pelts..22mag is good as well but the .17 is better. Shotguns tend to put to many holes in the pelts and you need to get pretty close for it to be effective.

foxs are a pest in Australia love fox hunting i have 2 of those fox whistles get things they are

Because they were somewhat hidden and probably wearing camo clothes, and the fox whistle is a great tool...

No it;s not my property, Its a farm near Glen Innes.

haha i went whistling and it was just like this, the fox actually got so close and looked me in the eye. It was brilliant :) Great video!

Good job guys, this vid has helped me heaps...I'm going to get a fox whistle now and have a go! They def are a pest and better cull them with a quick shot than let them starve to death...

I bought a couple of Silva Fox Whistles ( standard and mini size) from Ron Kiehne and they also work brilliantly. The whistle on this video sounds very similar though I think the Silva is perhaps slightly raspier. Hungry foxes come a-running!

I don't think there's anything better than the tin from a jam tin lid made into a V and a nail hole through the same place as the one you have. The lighter the gauge of tin the better the squealing rabbit sound.

good work there steve. i do a lot of lamping as we call it here. i use a bunch of different callers, some cheep and some expensive. but the best of them all is my mate moss. he can usually turn even the fox that has been shot at before. always good to have a few callers with you. would you do a video on the different ones you have. cheers poulo. ps. i love guns to

Nice video!

you are doing a noble job mate... keep doing it.

Great video lads well done, they came right in to the call. good clean kills

Splendid shooting, well done!!!

Love your videos

Love your work :)

These foxes are so cute.

What rifle were you using? I'm always curious on the caliber. i've heard and seen everything from a .22 magnum to a .38 special through a long arm.

Yeah..... it's not for sport, its for pest control. I still dont get how you think hunting crows and other pests is different from hunting feral foxes??? but whatever makes you sleep at night.

Nice shot!

Man I've got a serious fox problem right now, but unfortunately by the time this whistle would get to me from Australia my duck season will be over. I'm getting one for next year

make one. just punch two holes in a tin, or jam jar lid, cost nothing

Good trick with that great whistle. Nice shooting boys!

Hey Steve I saw a Remington 7600 in the background in the beginning. I'm thinking of picking one up in .308 how do you rate them? Thanx mate

No we dont have concealed or open carry laws at all with the exception of police and a few security jobs.

I looked up baby foxes. After watching the movie the fox and the hound. Thought I would remind myself of a little nature after watching a silly movie like that. This was one of the first responses for my search and I didn't read the topic well enough. If I see you walking down the street. Well, lets just leave it at that.

+533watts grow up, foxes are an invasive introduced animal that decimate native species, unfortunately they have to be killed

Just a standard winchester SX3. Not sure as it was a gift from my wife.

Yeah, I'd love to know the same thing. Did you pick it up while visiting the Great White North or down there in Australia???

Hey im getting into hunting and I was wondering what caliber you would recommend as a first gun as im 15 and im looking to go hunting for rabbits and foxes

well done... nice shooting. do you think a 17hmr would be sufficient for fox hunting at 75yd and under? and what gun are you using??

Sub 177 or 22 air gun will drop a fox at 20m but 177 is better penetration

17hmr is lethal to foxes about 120m away

hey steve have you ever heard or tried the fox whistle app on an iphone ? friends of mine use it to good use .

hey steve I know this is kind of s stretch but is there concealed carry in AU? Im guessing not but im just curious

I have always wanted to hunt with the 17 HMR. Thanks!

Nice video ... How do you guys have the video camera mounted on the gun and where do i get one lol

Not in NSW but they do have a $10 bounty in Victoria.

tom7601 the worst footage ever. Ffs if you go on KZread practise your camera work first.

Ya'll have been Playing Sniper Elite 4 by chance? :P

Looked like a rabbit took of to the right at 1:13 ..!!... Ha Ha ...cool footage again Steve !!>>>>>

It replicates an animal in distress, usually a rabbit which attracts the foxes instinct!

Nice work steve. How much did the whistle set you back?

i dont do a lot of fox hunting in Vic but i know there are a lot of great areas with high numbers. Google search hunting clubs and go from there. hope this helps

Steve, what do you clean your guns with. I just purchased a silva fox whistle, I might take it out in the spotlight

Hi Guys, how did you attach the camcorder to the scope, great video keep them coming.

great video good job

Hey Steve, quick question, are the rifles you's are using a .22 or .17HMR or something else i havent mentioned?

Bel video complimenti!

wow nice video. need to seriously cut the numbers of foxes in Australia.

hey steve.what is your opinion of a .22 winchester Magnum rimfire as a foxing gun?or would it be better to get a .223? Thanks mate

dont ban fox hunting

Fox hunting won't be banned in Australia, they're pests which decimate local wildlife. In the UK, they're native and have an important part of the ecosystem

Totally insane amounts of fox. Think you can hold fox hunting vacations for every avid fox hunter in England all year round for years and years..

Nice shooting, love the vids steve

What caliber was the Ruger? .308?

great vid

Steve, Like the whistle...small, simple. Bet it would work on coyotes here in the US. I have to ask...are the foxes a native species in OZ? Or were they imported? Thanks..

did you use that .17hmr on that 150 yard shot?... i currently hut fox with a shotgun using #4 shot and that works great but only out to 20-30 yards and if they hang up im screwed.. im looking to buy a low cal. for this i hunt for pelts.. any advise. what kind of scope is it

Awesome stuff

great shooting boys and good humane kills, foxs look cute in story books but when you speak to farmers that loose live stock chickens ect, its a different story, they are indeed a real problem in Australia keep up the good work

How close were those!!! awesome!!

i am here to stop people saying first! nice video steve!

hi. how was the camera mounted on your scope?

that first fox was damn close.

Steve made a wonderful second shot on his first fox. Just as it jumped he hit it dead.

Love the hunting room

Great vid! GOD BLESS!

i was watching this on my phone, i put it down to serve myself a drink n while i was pouring my water he whistled. scared the crap out of me

An interesting video, but im just curious as a person who has never really had to hunt pests, are foxes really pests?

The fox is soo adorableee D:

Hey what is the name of the whistle? And nice video

awesome, im buying one of those whistles on monday

Hi Steve good shooting. The Silva wistle is being marketed here in the uk as the hot new fox call but did you know that one of your fellow Aussies called Andre Georgescu from Adalade made that kind of wistle well over a decade age and sounds exactly the same. I bought one in 2000. He also made some realy good videos one called Wistling with foxes, which he made when you were still allowed semi-auto shotguns were he used a preproduction wistle to the one I have. Like your songs and your vids.

"This is how I keep the poisons that are apparently driving T. Van Rossum crazy out of my home" And you're telling ME to grow up?

"Nice haircut" NOOT!

That was a close one!

Get a Marlin 17Hmr around 400 in australia, great gun.

do you like the .222 on the foxes?

Where was the fox hit the 1st time at 7:14 ? Also why did it run around like a headless chook for?

cool vid well done

cool post well done

Thanks jab

Great Video mate!!! The foxes are everywhere down here in the riverland in SA at the moment we have been shooting heaps!! we take Atleast two calls when we Go out to keep them guessing... Currently using the Tenterfield whistle and the scotch Predator call which both work great, might have to pick up one of these bad boys also, not sure if you are aware but the SA government are planning on bringing in a fox bounty to match Victoria also

can you tell me were you can get them fos wistles

Well said mate.

What a beautiful place, wheres that?

Haha, you could do that with your S&W 686! Wow, that is an effective whistle.

That was a good kill it looked at first like a miss as the way it dropped! I have never seen one drop like that!10/10!

Fantastic video. I'd hate to be a fox in your territory. Going to test one of those whistle here. I suspect it might pull in a few cats too.

Name of gun.?? Awsome vid lads

@flysubcompact foxes were bought to Australia

Good calling. ATB Roe Stalker
