Some great footage mate. Loved the lamb on the ewe's back 😂

verry god job,wounderful video,and verry god shooting.

Fantastic shooting and footage great video presentation foxy🦊 wasn’t as sly as they thought 💭😂😂😂😂😂🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊👍

Again.. awesome shooting 👍👍

Could watch this for hours You are such a respectful shooter and so good at your craft Wish i had land just so i could employ you for the night Those red dogs don't stand a chance

Another quality video Mark. The sheep farmers are no doubt very relieved that they can call you to help keep their flocks safe. It is really interesting to see how you time the shots as well. You appear to be shooting off sticks for a number of the night shots. Not mucking around trying to get absolutely still and then timing your shot seems to be the go. Excellent shooting. With all those long nights it’s not surprising that your knackered.

Impressive as always, Mark.

Good job rips thanks for sharing

Another well produced and informative video. Thanks Mark Atb Marc

The wonderer returns with quality, well delivered vid. Thought my notification bell was broken. You're a master at work, but now you've opened the teasers with a bit of day time dogging also. Nice one Mark keep on banging

great videos always enjoy them from Western Australia keep them coming

Thank you for another great video Mark. Geoff.

Thanks again Mark, it`s good to see the Terriers getting a good `rag` at the dead Fox, they enjoy the day as much as we enjoy getting the job done.

Last fall, after the harvest, I went hunting for wild rabbits at a friend's field. We were in place as the Sun peaked over the horizon. First thing I saw, a red fox in the field. Brought up my Ruger bolt action .22lr. First shot, first kill. Nailed 3 rabbits that morning. Both my wife and daughter received a nice set of rabbit fur lined gloves with fox fur trim for Christmas.

Great video 👍 Mark love watching your hunts you're a crack shot mate awesome stuff cheers from down under

Excellent shooting, fantastic footage 😎👍🏻

Excellent video as usual Mark.

Fantastic film on Fox control, well done.

Excellent footage, great detail in how you do stuff and why. Loved the explanation of different firearms used, and why. Enjoyed that Mark. Stay safe! 👍

Good pest control and very good shooting chaps.

You are excellent at what you do Sir. Well done

Fantastic work...

Well done Rip top class shooting look forward to more.

Last fox cracking shot keep it up

Brilliant footage

Top shooting mate as always ;-)

Loveing the long range shots.we need more videos

Having grown up on a farm, I know all about foxes. I wish we'd had those thermal scopes. Foxes are smart and I especially enjoy when the shooter gets them to stop by making that "hooo" sound.

15:11 Peter Rabbit had no idea how lucky he was. Been enjoying your videos for years now, brings back happy memories of several years when I lived in Nottinghamshire in the 70s. Nice head shot at the end, but I am surprised you took a shot before he got below the horizon with a safe background. I am sure you had safe procedures covered, you are too much of a pro not to know "what is behind the target." Cheers!

Ah yes there is a bank behind him, he is in a slight dip in the hillside which is just enough to hide his body so yes a safe shot 😉

That last shot man love it!! I hunt jackal for farmers here in south africa and its fun to see you doing basically the same over there. Great vids keep them up. All the best and remember happiness is a slow steady squeeze

Nice shooting guys just got all guille suits and Ammo nets and red light for night time can't wait to get out bunny hunting heard so much about which lights do wit but thinking thermal is the way to go now not much night hunting just dusk and dawn nice one guys keep safe .....bless...

Great video mate well done nice shooting, happy hunting 👍👍

Can't do thumbs up again! Just watched for second time. Great shooting. Last one cracking - patience

You saved that rabbits life haha

Amazing well done!

I'm from the states and we have a similar problem here with coyotes. You all may already be familiar with this method but a lot farmers here with a cattle herd will employee some donkeys. They will incorporate four or five donkeys in with the herd and the donkeys hate anything of a canine persuasion. They will literally run them down and stomp them to death. A coyote doesn't stand a chance .

Well done! 👍

Good to se those vermin being eradicated from the area,..as much as can be ! Most enjoyable to watch those great shots, and I like the length of the video too. Thank you.

Good work mark had a tough enough time my self since January day and night shot 186 foxes on my ground lots of text messages long haul up to 10 hours some nights but I love doing it all part of it

Was that the clip with the rabbit in? If so it looks like a miss as the rabbit darts into the hedge but the fox goes down if you watch again! That’s not to say I don’t miss as I do and they are usually the easy ones 🤦🏻‍♂️!

When I lived in Alberta, I used to take coyotes with a single shot Harrington & Richardson .223, but the best I used gun was a New England Firearms Handy Rifle single shot in .243. A real tack driver. It was sighted in at 150 yds and I'd aim dead on between 50 and 250 yds. I used handloads with 58 grain Hornady molly-coated V-Max backed by 42 grs of IMR 3031, producing a muzzle velocity of over 3600 fps.Nice and flat trajectory. Most shots were at around the 150 yd mark, but some were longer. Once, jsut after midnight, my dog was barking outside on my farm and I knew something was out there, so I grabbed my gun. It was snowing and as I zapped the big T-handle spot light in the direction my do was facing, I saw the familiar green ayes looking back at me. It was a much longer shot than usual, but I rested the light on a fence post and rested the rifle on the T-handle of the light. I zapped that dog again with the light and he didn't stop for a look like coyotes usually do, He just kept trotting right-to-left. I gave him a little lead and fired. I saw the head go up and he fell over backwards. Next morning, I took the dog and clicked my GPS by the fence post I'd fired from and walked in a straight line to the dead animal, that actually turned out to be fox, not a coyote. The fox was not much bigger than a large cat; maybe 20 pounds at most. Whereas a decent-sized coyote would be 40 pounds or more and the size of a collie. I checked the distance at the dead fox. It showed 298 meters (326 yds). I was pretty happy with that shot. I'd given slightly too much lead and hit him in the neck, when it joined the head. The neck was completely opened up and the jaw was gone. The hydrostatic shock alone would have meant instant lights out, so I didn't feel bad at all. I usually go for a boiler room shot, but this also did the trick. The toughest part was keeping my dog away from that flea-infested creature. It was seething in them.

Excellent shooting. absolutely love watching you take care of the baby lamb's. Plus Well Done with the Shotgun. That was class. I would love to help you control the vermin. I would take out the birds with my rifle's. Good Job 👍😉

Using my 223 I would keep it to around 300 yards as it’s not really set up for long range it’s really just my night shooting rifle. With the 260 I would stretch the range, furthest I’ve shot was either 840 or 860 I can’t remember now but it’s on one of the other videos! 👍
