Hey Rob, Loved the film matey, I think I’d have highlighted in very BOLD LETTERING, the amount of times we go out and don’t shoot a thing! I’ve got a fox currently killing Guinea Fowl at a stables I shooters rabbits on, and have been there 3 nights and not seen it. It’s taken baited bones the last two nights, so I’m back tonight with my Lithgow .22 rimfire, as there will be horses nearby that don’t need scaring. Perseverance is what’s needed more than any fancy kit 👍😁 David

I started with an air rifle with iron sights, I think you learn more with basic kit. I'm now more hi tec though it's the old rifles that made me a decent shot.

I love rabbiting on a night, just the challenge of creeping up on to them, is just satisfying and getting that first shot off and it connecting. I also can remember my old man giving me an air rifle when I was a lad, the front iron sight was bent and I had to stick the rifle nose down in the ground just to cock the dam thing, brilliant tho, me and my mate loved it punching holes in old paint tins.

Great video Robin some great points there for anyone looking at getting into foxing, or any type of shooting. Your cured fox tails Robin, do you pull them off the bone as I do before curing, or do you chop the tail off leaving the bone in? I've seen it done both ways but have never tried the bone in method.

“Fox Hunting” in its traditional sense is on horse back with a pack of fox hounds. What I do is perfectly legal humane vermin control. In essence it’s the hunting with dogs that was the banned part and made illegal with the revised hunting act.

Thank you for replying, I realise Its a controversial subject, I grew up in the country side and I"ve seen the damage a fox can do, my best school friend lived on a farm, his dad spent money they didnt really have to try to farm rabbit's !! One Fox destroyed that one night!! It wasnt happy to take One rabbit it killed the lot , for shear blood lust. I just dont understand why Foxhunting is banned but Shooting is. OK.

If I may also chip in here? A well placed ballistic tipped bullet, travelling at 3500ft/sec will kill a fox instantly, without it even knowing it. Whereas a pack of dogs will chase the fox, aided by groups of onlookers in cars , to the pint of exhaustion, and then proceed to be ripped to pieces by the dogs. All that lit go round making loads of noise, blocking roads etc, whilst the likes of us, move around late at night unseen or heard by anyone.

Another good video. It’s unsurprising to hear you started out with an air rifle in the back yard. That’s how I started as a 14 year old boy back in 1978 here in Australia. Foxing is a very absorbing past time and it really gets you in. I have found that you really have to pay your dues to become successful. Like you I started with a spotlight, progressed to an IR add on, and now run a thermal spotter and a thermal scope. When I first started With a spotlight I hardly ever saw a fox. Once I really decided to target them, I realised they were there all along. I just didn’t realise what I was looking at. I became a lot more attuned to what I should be looking for, the more I was out there specifically targeting foxes. Over time I have become a lot more successful because I have really tried to target foxes specifically. For example, I went out on two nights in a row last weekend. One property is a 4000 acre farm, the other a 100 acre hobby farm. I shot 3 foxes on the big property on the first night, and one on the small property on the second night. Not huge numbers, but very satisfying nonetheless. So I started out never seeing a fox, to now getting them very regularly. If you can secure your permissions, put the time in, learn how to find the foxes, you will become successful.

Great video, I think it is more about connections then “the kit” . To find ground and build up trust in you is in my opinion the most challenging thing. After all you’ll hunt you ground of which you only have permission not owning the ground.I find there are some want to be foxers out who don’t realise how many hours you actually you have to put in to get a fox.

Great video Robin, I've only been foxing here in Australia for a few years and kinda started out the same way. I've now spent a fortune 😂 and i still love it! The thing i like the most about foxes is that you never stop learning. Just when you think you've got it sussed out, they go and do something totally unpredictable 🙄 Also we have a bounty here and get $10 per scalp. Collection day can be nice when you cash in a hundred or more scalps. Its not much but helps towards new kit and ammonium 👍🦊💥

Brilliant film Robbin , Like you I started early in life with a pellet gun and matches and a competition between me and my cousin. Now I'm game keeping so doing all sorts of shooting, I would love to get my self a thermal scope but the budget is not large enough so Ill just stick with it. Keep the films coming they are very use full and interesting ,spot on

I have slightly more hair, but only by a strand or two 😂😂 you have really told it how it is in the real world in this one ! Practice, get permission through word of mouth and put in the time, the rewards are great, you have a great experience with people and a brilliant escape when you just want to go out and do your own thing, spot on and every day is a learning day 👍👍👍
