This week, Mark Ripley heads out after foxes armed with his trusty .223 and the TH50V2 from Scott Country. In a couple of outings, before and after dark, Mark manages to drop foxes quickly and make a good start on his pest control mission. Then Richard Negus reports from the Game Fair. He talks to exhibitors about what the future holds for fieldsports and how we can make difference.

  1. 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

  2. whatever happened to abit of old school lamping actually with a spotlight instead of all this night vision shooting

  3. 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

  4. 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…

  5. I always wonder how many foxes there are where I hunt…several locations..they just keep on coming!…. Australia

  6. 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 .

  7. 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 ??

  8. 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.

  9. 3 dead foxes, they don’t always drop on the spot, try filming and shooting at the same time 🤷🏻‍♂️
