Hello Chris, The torch I’ve been asked to use does not, but I’ll contact Andy at the company and ask him if he can make those 👍

I’ve been speaking to Andy, and he said he can’t make a remote switch for a torch with a dimmer switch on it, it’s either on or off 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks Michael, but that competition ended last August 👍😄

You’re right chap , that’s old technology and an old video. Things have moved on drastically now, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future

I’ll save that for when we’re in Cozy Korner next time 🥰🥰👍 Did you bring me any chopsticks back 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hi Jim, Well we were waiting for a ticket to South Carolina, but jet2 don’t go there 😉😂😂

Hello and thank you 👍 No I’ve not heard anything from my little contact at HikMicro yet but I know they’ve been very busy with an international conference they held, Robin will have a video out soon with Fieldsports Britain about that soon. Just keep checking your app for a red update alert, I look every day 👍

@@predatorprotectionuk OK thx mate , I'm always checking to lol

@@fxking.25 I’ve just WhatsApped my contact in the technical team at HikMicro asking for an update, so standby 👍🫵

@@predatorprotectionuk do well thx very much 👍

Call me later mate, I’ll be home by 16:10

Cheers Mick, although I see someone wasn’t happy with Fox number 2 🤔🫢 Naughty Step for me

@predatorprotectionuk unfortunately it isn't an exact science, these things happen! Hope you had a good time away. Regards Mick

@mickibbett2120 great thanks matey, very hot though 🥵🥵

Merci Bien 👍👍

I’d buy one Jim 👍

Hi Kevin, Yes, I spent almost 3 years building vehicles for the military and law enforcement, so I’ve got a switch that cuts off all the lights, reversing camera, bells , keys left in gongs, you name it, it off. Just put back on the seatbelt and it returns the car to road use. It’s very useful for creeping around unnoticed

Hi Sam, Yes there are some very fine reticle choices, but sometimes a viewer would struggle to see them, look at the clip from Jethrow, you’ll see what I mean

@@predatorprotectionuk jethrow?

@misterlewgee8874 on the video

Thanks Reg, what’s the weather like in Canada?🇨🇦

@@predatorprotectionuk Today sunny, and forecast high of 24C / 75F, in my little part of this country. :)

@regsparkes6507 it was 40 every day and 26 at night in Malta 🥵🥵🥵

A wouldnt say fine form after second one.

@bengrain4986 oh to be 100% perfect all the time eh ? It must be great

Thank very much for watching matey 👍

@predatorprotectionuk could I please ask for your advice, I was talking to a m8 today. He's looking for a pair binoculars, something he can look at the moon and stars and wildlife, and record, and night vision, his budget is around £500 ,he's not a shooter but lives in the country, any ideas, I've gone down the rabbit hole of looking then though "I know a man that knows his stuff lol" ???

@@crazycressy7986 not for £500. There’s not a lot that will be much good at that number unfortunately

@predatorprotectionuk just spoken to him again, he just wants them for watching wildlife in the fields

Cheers Pete, first time I’d been away since Christmas 2021 . Bloody hips 🫢🤷🏼‍♂️

@@predatorprotectionuk sorted now then no holding you back lol 😆

Hello Stephen, just screw the back portion in and out to go from flood to spot. I’m still getting used to it but it’s excellent 👍

@@predatorprotectionuk Ah yes, I think from what I heard from another chap on a forum, the rear adjustment may cause a slight shift in the alignment of the light (within the field of view) whereas if you can do your "on the night" adjustment with the front, it will stay exactly where you set it (on screen) just a thought for when your next testing 👍👍 So when setting up, keep the front one at the widest, then tighten the beam with the rear adjustment so it just fills the screen then don't touch the rear one anymore. Use the front to adjust in the field when magnifying etc. Be interesting to see how that goes. # And maybe like you said, when setting it up, adjust to a fairly tight beam and align the mount so it's just above the reticle, might help with grass reflection etc. I know it all sounds anal but nothing worse than having to fiddle to get torch aligned when your on a fox🤣

@stephenoshea1166 oh you can fiddle around for hours matey to get exactly what you need, I don’t think an hour of me doing that would have been appreciated 😄

@@predatorprotectionuk no not on video, 🤣

Think it was just on loan for demonstration to viewers 👍 I shouldn't worry, from reading the forums, the issues have been resolved and they give a decent warranty anyway.

@stephenoshea1166 Thanks mate hoping I'm one of the lucky ones 👍

@@Shhooottteeerrr I was looking into it quite a bit as a condor was on my short list, ended up going for the habroks in the end, which Im very pleased with, although on some occasions I'd feel the monocular would be the the better choice, be good to have both if they weren't so expensive.🤣

Nothing wrong with it at all !! It was on loan demo. Treat all technical scopes like a new car or phone, sometimes they go wrong 🤷🏼‍♂️👍

Thanks Stephen, I think there may be some folks that have missed videos where I’ve stated that some of the kit I use is on loan. But thanks for explaining for me 👍👍

It just goes to show how different they are in other counties

I'm in Cornwall too, for me there's no rhyme or reason to it, depends on the fox and the night, maybe even the time of year.... ? , sometimes they'll come to the squeak like a well behaved pet, but more often, not so obliging, in fact sometimes a call sends them off in the other direction and you wish you just took the long shot 😂

@stephenoshea1166 they think it’s a ginsters pasty wrapper they can hear opening 😂😂

Hello chum, I’m sorry I failed to mention I was using the 850, I have been sent a 940 too, but will try that on rats, as the 850 didn’t seem to bother anything this weekend

Ah ! It’s detective lieutenant Frank Dreben 😀😀 I love all your films 👍👍 Thanks for watching mine

Alpex 4k non LRF

@@predatorprotectionuk Thanks for that, looking at the LRF option. How do you find the scope?

It’s very good during daylight and terrific at night. I think if you want a scope where you can change the image settings, then I’d recommend using the Sightmark Wraith 4k Max.

You help yourself chum, you won’t miss that button ever again 👍

14 that night in total, one technical error, I deleted a shot before I downloaded it 🤷🏼‍♂️🫢😁

Ludicrous Lumens .

Thanks Gary, They were a secret Santa present about 15 years ago, and I found them a while back and was amazed they still worked on the original batteries 😂

Ah ! My manbily clamp and ball mount has just arrived, and I’m hoping it’ll make a massive difference to the setup 🤞🏼 It certainly feels more solid now than the original did. Disabled, indeed 🫵😉

@@predatorprotectionuk

Thanks Sam

Thanks very much chum, I’ve got some new ammo being built for me that does not exit the other side, but detonates inside turning the insides to jelly . They should be fun to use

It is, but I’m still looking at things to improve, somewhere to put the caller remote for instance, and one viewer suggested a flask holder 😀👍

@@predatorprotectionuk lol and a fishing umbrella so you can shoot in the rain lol

@crazycressy7986 ah ! Let’s not go too mad here OK 😀😀

@predatorprotectionuk give it a few weeks and you will have a turret on your truck tub 😆

Hello Stephen, adults too, I was expecting to see youngsters as I’d not been over to that farm since last August, the week before my first hip was done

They'll be there for another time I expect.

Oh if only we lived in the perfect world. I’m always happy to take along someone to show me how to do it. Feel free to contact me chap, and I’ll sit and watch.

@@predatorprotectionuk just trying to offer a bit of friendly advice to help out that’s all. I used to miss A LOT! From rushing and flinching and someone told me to slow it way down and get steadier it helped out no end.

Yes I know chap, but I try to include the viewer into the actual event, so sometimes you will get shaky cameras and the occasional miss, but it’s as real as it gets. Most folks won’t show that, because they never miss, do they 🤔😉 Don’t give up, is what I’m trying to get across to folks new to shooting. Thanks for your support and the message though, hopefully folks will see the comments

@@predatorprotectionuk that’s fair enough. At least you have plenty to go at, the place looks absolutely riddled with foxes!

@@predatorprotectionuk Totally agree, I like watching several RUclipsrs, take 260 rips for example, seems a nice chap and fantastic at the long range shots, very entertaining. I notice recently starting to include the odd miss but only at a magpie or stone that's hundreds of yards away, but that's new. Maybe he never does miss a fox, but it sometimes seems a world apart from the up and coming shooter, I think the truth is , everyone does miss at times, I do, I can have a few cracking shots and then fluff up an easy one🤷. David keeps it real and relatable and has some cracking shots along the way too. There is definitely logic in taking your time, but then again there's plenty of times when foxes won't stand still for more than an odd second. If it's lambing season especially, you ask yourself do I take that split second chance or let it go to potentially take lambs after I've called it a night.

You obviously know where I am chap, and what’s making up the surrounding area 👍 Good point well made. Answer None.

Oops

That’s the clever thing, you can easily remove the bit you don’t need, they’re so light too

I certainly wouldn’t say they were heavy David, not something you’d cart around over your shoulder like they suggested though

Thermal on the roof, so I don’t have to keep driving round in circles to get a view of the left side. It’s only on Hollywood films where thermal can see through glass 😀😎👍

Hi George, still got time to watch videos, I thought you were on holiday 😎 Have a great time

Cheers matey

Hi Bruvva, Yes all good matey thanks 👍

@@predatorprotectionuk Sweet.. Glad you're 'ealin' & don't 'av' 'ackney. sorry, cockney humour.

I’ll tell you when I see you 😉

Hi Chris, So you’ve got to guess which one said that ? 🫵😀

If you say so, 😀👍

Hey ! I never thought of that .. What a FAB idea 👍

You’re very welcome Reg, nice to hear from a Canadian viewer too 👍👍👍
