Lamb Protection Part Two With A Sako 6ppc And Sako 223.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Hi every one, here in the UK Crows and Magpies can cause devastating damage to the rare nesting birds we have on our moors for example Curlews, lapwings meadow pipits and many many more, they also predate on the song bird population ,also around lambing time the crows will peck out the eyes of the new born lambs while they are vulnerable just after birth and even at times while the Ewe is giving birth crows will peck out the eyes and tongues of a lamb, so as a pest controller our laws let us control them all year round, here i am using a 223 rifle as the crows and magpies can wise up avoiding traps and keeping out of range of air rifles and shotguns at times. Any disbelievers please feel free to google and see the damage for your self. cheers
Simon you’ve raised the bar yet again, I was thinking your videos couldn’t get any better, and here we go, another huge leap forward. Keep your awesome content coming my mate. A great insight into the role you have in maintaining balance in the countryside. Great to see Jack looking fantastic too. Till next time bud, take care.
Thank you Jonathon and really appreciated my friend.
@@simon6ppc246 well earned, actually 👍
Great to see Jack looking so healthy and hay, who doesn't like Whatsits ? Another super video and lesson for the 'townies' about pest control in the country.
Thank you Harry.
Seeing Jack in your videos is great. Jack should be on every intro you make, he is a champ. Enjoying your video's, they open up the wild life to beautiful animals.
Thanks F B i may be want to make an intro but don't know how to 😂🐕🦺🦴
I like watching your videos, particularly the black Lab! I do not live in the countryside, but like to listen and learn from someone who does. We have an urban fox visit us every night. We put some food out for her and only yesterday she brought her pup with her. My wife and I get a great deal of enjoyment from her visits. Now understand and appreciate the difference between our urban visitors and those foxes who have a negative impact on those people trying to make a living in the countryside. Cheers Simon.
Tell all your friends about this, please!
@@mrsilbo6499 Sorry Hugh, I am like Billy No Mates! Just bewildered how these days people cannot agree to disagree, be willing to listen to someone or something they may not like, and accept that they may be wrong and willing to change their mind! I was raised in rural Ireland (middle of the "troubles) and now live in the city, so some things I may not like, but this is not my reality. Think I am just getting "more" grumpy in my old age!
We live by a state forest here in Florida. Been living in the country ever since I was born. I have cats that have since moved outside of the house due to a new puppy that they dislike. Now I'm indirectly feeding a juvenile opossum alongside the cats when I set the cat food out. My city dwelling mother in law swears that it will give the kids rabies and I have declined her desire to murder it. I feel in due time it will just move along like its other two juvenile opossum siblings. Just one of the things of living out in the country.
@@AstanaxKnight Top man, keep up the great work!
@@AstanaxKnight Wow, where you live must be amazing, your children have all that space and freedom to play. The opportunity to see wildlife indirectly is such a privilege. This opportunity has certainly changed how we look at our world. The thing to remember is that these visitors will, at heart always be wild. We watch our visitor from a distance and thank God (and our visitor) for this opportunity. The opportunity that your children have now is very rare, they can share their daily lives. Many years ago some feral kittens lived in our garden. We fed them daily and gradually they become more accepting. I knew that these kittens would never have a close relationship with a person, unfortunately, my young son did not realise this, and her tried to pick up one of those kittens. The cat scratched his leg badly, when a cat scratches someone this, its claw will go directly into the skin and then retract out the same path. The kitten claw deposited some germs under my son's skin, the infection was very serious and lasted for many months. I made the mistake of not emphasizing to my children the need to respect the kittens space and that any closeness or contact must be instigated by the kitten. Forgive my boldness but your mother-in-law cannot understand the simple joy of sharing your life even if only temporary with a wild animal. Your life sounds amazing, health and happiness to you and your family. Sláinte
My friend.... I take my hat off to you with your meticulous & attention to detail, careful planning.
Excellent Markmanship as always!
You live in a lovely area.... R 🇭🇲
Thank you so much
Don't worry about the 1%. Great video as always and Jack looking well.
Thanks you Paul 👍
That second shot. Chef’s kiss 🤌🏼. Brilliant.
Lol cheers Larry.
More good content, Simon. It's good to see your four-legged mate, Jack, doing so well. Keep well, both of you.
Thank you Russ.
Some people just don't get pest control and how vital it is. But we don't worry about those people. Thanks again, Simon!
Cheers Frank.
Totally agree Simon, it's a ballance between pest control and conservation. Fab shot of the crow😉👍♥️🇬🇧
Thanks Stephen.
Enjoyed watching. Good to see Jack doing well. Cheers!
Thank you
Hi Simon. Nice touch at the end. As an animal lover I to as you are aware shoot vermin. I often question how it’s possible to take a life but soon realise what you and I do is invaluable to the overall animal population. Many people never grasp the context and refuse point blank to accept it. Thank you for your demonstration and explanation. Not to many of us left. Frederick is lucky to have you on his patch. 😉
Thank you Lawrence ye i know 100% where you are coming from my friend.
Well said!! I have permissions that produce Lambs and Eggs they do not like foxes being around. I also have a permission that used to to do farmhouse B&B and had 20+ free range hens to help with eggs for visitors breakfasts. They are retired from B&B now and no longer have hens and we have delighted in the past few years watching Ma & Pa fox watching over the cubs while they play. They are no threat to the cows and cattle so we leave them be. As you said we are not blood thirsty killers.
Ye to right pal..
Another cracking video Simon great to show the piece at the end where you don’t have to take out a fox that’s not causing any problems 👍. Also great to see the old lad enjoying a Wotsit 😂😂
I'm one of your 99%. I understand and respect the service you provide. Enjoying your videos, looking forward to future adventures. Cheers 🇨🇦
Thank you greg.
My son visited Ireland and said it was the most beautiful place he’d ever been. Subbed, and liking your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
'...and he like Wotsits!' Made me LOL! Salutations fraternelles, my friend.
Lol cheers Paul.
Hello again from Downunder! Another outstanding video with great marksmanship and ethical shooting. You raise a great point at the end of the video - even here in Australia, where foxes, cats and rabbits are all introduced species; for me its not about shooting them for fun either. Its about pest control and trying to give the native species a fighting chance against the introduced competitors. Keep up the great work. Cheers John
Thanks JB ye 100% right my friend
So glad to see our old friend Jack is still getting along. Wish him many more years. That .223 is perfect for fox and crows.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏
Thanks David ye it is pal.
I have been watching your videos for a while and what outstanding professionalism. You are a true marksman. I am lucky to live on the edge of the North Yorkshire moors and what a privilege I feel to be so close to nature. Please give Jack a pat and again, it's great that he is so happy, even in his old age bless him.
Thank you Simon i have shot a few farms up in the Peak district only last year doing fox control..
Nicely said my friend, we are, mostly, custodians of the countryside, and pest control is a necessary tool we use to keep the balance, as can obviously be seen by anyone who wishes to look, the birdlife on your permissions are a glowing example, unfortunately, many can't see past their prejudices to appreciate the benefits.........they would certainly notice the differences if they get their own way and stop us from providing this "free" service!
100% right my friend with out a doubt.
Great job Great shooting as always Thanks Simon Thanks for bring Jack along Love seeing him Most of all Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks again Frank and much appreciated my friend.
Great work as always Simon. The work you carry out has a more positive affect on nature than most of the £millions that the RSPB wastes!
Thanks Rob..
I was going to say the bit at the end about Frederick was great, and then you go and say "and he also likes Wotsits" ... Brilliant!
Lol cheers Gerry.
Hi Simon. Must say it’s all about getting the right advantage point. You make it all look so easy. This is an old trick with the stress calling.
Thanks Mike ye cheers pal.
keep up the good work Simon. Our dwindling ground nesting birds need all the help we can give them by keeping down the ground and avian predators, we just need to get the likes of Wild Justice and similar blinkered conservation bodies on our side before its too late for Curlews, Lapwing etc
Ye David hope fully one day who knows.
You are a credit to us pest control shooters Simon we need more people like yourself to be on you tube to make people know we are not cold blooded killers we do it to protect wild life and rare birds give my love to Jack the four legged spotter.
Thank you Keith i sure will my friend.
Love your videos! Love seeing that Jack is still able to go along.
Thanks Kirk.
I give all your videos a thumb up before I ever watch them because I know that what will follow is always first rate viewing. Never disappointed one time either. It looked like those two rabbits were jumping for joy in celebration right after you shot that first fox LOL Love that Jack!
Lol cheers pal they sure were.
Such peaceful work, such grand solitude in your work. The dedication that yields the level of professionalism that you proffer are beyond reproach. Ah but the naysayers, well my friend they are born of ignorance. The choice to learn or remain naive is theirs. That you even try to educate them speaks volumes about your commitment. Peace to you and Jack
Thank you again Phil 👍
Simon you do a fantastic job! You don't have to explain yourself to anyone. I broke into a big smile when I saw Jack walking beside you on the road. Have a great day and looking forward to your next video. God bless.
Jack does tHe same to me... makes me smile
Thank you to you both 👍
Morning Ralph, morning Fred. Have to be older and have watched cartoons.
lol
Thank you Simon. You are a true professional on so many fronts. Keep up the great work and videos. Cheers from New Hampshire!
Thanks a lot Alan.
I once sat up on a hill overlooking a big flat marshland and watched low, fast moving clouds cast their shadows along the ground. That was amazing.
Ye smart Stuart.
Great videos, lovely to see farm management done so well. I’m loving Jack.
Thank you Mike.
It was good to watch you and Jack again,
Thank you Jimmie
Simon, great video again your marksmanship is superb mate, love the videos! Always had the same from people about shooting and trying to explain management of game and pests, been in the same position with a fox in my sights and just observing not shooting! Glad Jack is coming good.👍🇦🇺🇬🇧😎
Thanks Max ye with age this is happening may be a bit to often lol.
Lol brilliant Simon glad jacks doing ok always a great video love watching them and as always thanks for your time and effort making them brilliant mate👍🏻
Thanks Mark and very much appreciated pal.
This is one of your best Simon. Great seeing you again.
Thank you pal.
Greetings Simon to you and Jack. Thanks for the video
Cheers david.
Wow Simon great shooting! That was a little different from what you usually show us. Really nice to see Jack out and about with you again.
Thanks Kevin ye i don't really put much fox shooting on here but might do more of it in the future.
@@simon6ppc246 I think that would be great if you started to do that. Coyotes out here are a pain because of how they eat all of the young and new born animals. So keep on keepin on.
Nice to see the 4 legged spotter What a good life he’s had
Cheers Danny
The Pills are working - Jack looks Great !
Ye he seems ok for now Chris.
Fair play to you 🤪 on the last 🦊,it hadb enough problems!!! Brilliant video 👍
Thanks pal 👍
Hi Simon, I am an old Aussie Bushie and I found your end comment quite amazing. That you don't need to shoot the old fox that is not a threat. So many city folks and tree huggers do not understand, that responsible shooters have been around, far longer than their carbon credit rubbish and who mostly want to ban the ownership of any guns. 🤔
Thank you for showing the real shooter. Oh and of course, the star attraction, Jacko.😊
Thank you my friend.
Love your videos mate great to watch over here in NZ.. I use 7mm08 and .223 mainly for hunting be great to see a run down of your rifles etc ..
Thanks Scott i could do one day.
Lovely to see the hares boxing Simon….excellent video mate
Thanks 👍
Simon great video as always. I've commented before and I'll say it again...corvids are a pest problem in the U.S. as well. They may consume some harmful insects etc, but many people don't realize how smart, adaptable and opportunistic they are and are devastating to everything you are trying to protect and more.
Thanks for another great video demonstrating great shooting skill, safety, and the need for pest population control. I always enjoy the content with Jack, my last few dogs have been labs they're the best! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Kane.
Great Video as always, and I love the comments at the end , in the main people cannot understand we do what we do as we love the wildlife , and a little control helps the different species thrive … 👍
To right David.
Awesome video as always. I love the 6ppc round great cartridge. Your closing was so nice, also good to have a cameo appearance from your 4 legged spotter. 👏
Thanks Bob ye the 6ppc don't get me started un real lol...
Enjoyable, informed thoughtful content.
In Australia, fox not native, so...no Fredericks for people who want to help more preserve species from not becoming extinct.
Superb shooting.
Lovely to have some mellow music, instead of the usual "guns n heavy metal" style...😂
Always look forward to your videos..
Goodo
Cheers pal
A job well done as always. Nature is a wonderful thing but every now.and then it needs a helping hand. Thanks for your content brilliant as always.
To right Tony and thanks.
Great video as per usual, thanks. Terrific marksmanship. The long shot ending you altering the magnification - showing just how far it was amazed me. Great seeing yr sidekick helping you again. Keep up his meds.
Thank you my friend.
Great video Simon you an excellent job of pest control and watching the fox just enjoying it's day in the sun is an added bonus. The pills that you are giving Jack seem to be helping him a lot and he looks very happy. Cheers Brother
Thank you again Donald.
As always I am in awe of your accuracy and skill! You perform a necessary job and as always great to see Jack!
Thank you Larry.
Great video Si throughly enjoyed watching that , and your right sometimes even as a pest controller or game shooter there are times when we can still appreciate watching our wild life , like a fox doing what they do and as long as they aren’t doing harm to live stock , birds etc.. we can still have respect for them , oh and I don’t think I’ve ever met a dog who doesn’t enjoy a Wotsit …lol all the best G.
Lol cheers Gianni thanks very much and guess what pal i think the barrel is fried on my 223 its shoots any Vmax spot on but just won't behave now with the 69 TMKs for some reason, i say won't behave like just an inch at 100 yards damn it.
@@simon6ppc246
Hi Si , so does it shoot the other ammo tightly but not the 69grainers ? how far off the lands are you now and is there room to set the bullet out further to see if that has any effect, it could be a little throat sensitive , how many rounds have you had down it?
@@GianniG55 Ye the 50 Vmax and 60 Vmax both shoot like .3 to.4 of an inch at 130 yards only this week but 69s are just hit and miss just when i think they are right the next range day i struggle to get an inch, i have slowed them down even speeded them up seated them 20 to 30 thou longer and even the same shorter its very frustrating, i am going back tomorrow for another try but like i say the 50 and 60s are just like nothing is wrong.
@@simon6ppc246
That’s definitely weird, I would say having a look down the bore might show something but like you say the others are shooting fine so can’t think what would be causing the issue with a round that was shooting good but not now do you think it could be the condition of the bore that has caused them to not group?
@@GianniG55 Ye i think the barrel is on its way out and with the 69s being quite a long bullet with a longish boat tail they are usually the first to suffer but i could be wrong but gonna try again tomorrow as i do kind of like playing with it.
Simon just a comment from your avid viewer in Belfast at least the bales are warmer than lying on the ground. I've still got lots of magpies in my garden gets worse every year. Keep up the good work.
Ye to right David, spent all my life lying on the ground and now at 55 i have to keep it real lol.
Great commentary on Fredrick, “for the past two years he watches me n I watch him”.
Thank you my friend
Commendable efforts continue. Good shooting as usual.
Thank you Shoaib.
Wow, the slow motion bullet shot was awsome. Been subbed a few weeks now and enjoying your content. Fascinating stuff.
Thank you my friend
Once again, I'm impressed with your eye for video composition and editing. And again, I love the pace of your videos, a product of your editing talent.
Thank you Brian and really appreciated.
Have to say Simon, your videos are brilliant, really enjoy watching them and they wouldn’t be the same without your wee man Jack. Many a farmer must be super happy with your efforts. Amazing shooting as always, great stuff.
Thank you James ye they do appreciate me but may be think i have lost the plot when they see Frederick in this video lol as i kept him quiet for year lol..
Love watching this I used to do lots of pest control sadly a deiese in me stomach I can't do much now but this kind of gets me out in a way thamk you for sharing and all the best to you and jack
Thank you Paul and hope your fine my friend.
Doing ok thanks mate keep up the good work
Ah Simon...I can truly understand the farmers wanting to protect their stock...(I live on a sheep farm myself so I do know what's at stake)...but those foxes are doing what we do...providing for their families...really good shots Simon...and I'm pleased to see Jack has a healthy (?!) diet and enjoying the warmer weather...
Thank you mother 👍
Little does Fredrik know you could take his life at any moment good on you for sparing him but on the other hand ✋ well done for getting rid of the pest foxes fine shooting again the farm u shoot on looks the same terrain as where I live the land of song Wales
Thank you my friend.
There's definitely a sparkle in Jack's eyes when he copped sight of those Whatsits🤩
Lol
They are big health looking foxes the farmers will be very happy with your work mate well done cheers Yogi Australia and ol mate is looking great he’s a rippa 🇦🇺🤙🤙
Thank you Yogi.
Thank you for another very relaxing video! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Pest control is hard for some people to understand. Great job.
Thanks Billy.
Thanks for another great video Simon 👍
Thanks pal👍
Great video as ever. Always a good mix of info and action and great to see you taking time out to show other wildlife that is flourishing because of your efforts. Good call with the fox at the end, not causing an issue, no action required. Always good to look over your uploads and nice to see your 4 legged wingman with you. Take it easy buddy 😉
Thank you Matt and much appreciated my friend.
03.55 that brought some painful memories back 🤪
Another good vid keep them coming
Lol cheers Jason.
It's been a while since I got to watch your video.been on the road.but they are better than ever and you are a superb marksman.great shooting sir.
Thank you Rudy.
Looked like those two Hares were jumping for joy; one less Fox.
Lol ye may be
Simon if I didn't know any better I'd swear those rabbits were jumping for joy after you shot that fox PS thanks and keep up the good work
Lol cheers William.
Great video Simon it's good to see the birds numbers increasing
Thanks Ian ye it sure is pal they are every where this year just brilliant.
Hi Simon, great job mate and video too. As you said in the footage some people think it’s all kill kill kill but it could not be further from the truth could it mate. Anyway hope your keeping well and staying safe take care ATVB.
Ye to right pal.
Easily the most satisfying and soothing videos on RUclips. Your voice, music and Jack is perfect viewing.
In my day to day life though, I now expect every crow and magpie I see to explode 😂
Thank you so much my friend and ye when i see Magies and such all over the place i think all sorts in my head lol
Another great video and great shooting / not shooting Simon, thanks for this. 👏
The Pulsar C50 looks an awesome scope, the scope we all hoped the Digex would be when it first appeared.
I can't afford a C50 myself and for now am going to use my Discovery HD34 3-18x50 dayscope with a rear add-on, but am definitely considering getting a C50 for my 17HMR for rimfire use by day and night.
Cheers. Russ
Thanks Russ ye it would be perfect on the HMR to be honest i do like it on my 6ppc its never lost zero ya know in the 5 months ive had it which for me is just unreal for a NV
I like watching the birds pester Fredrick; he's funny.
Hey, sorry to say but you can never make everyone happy.
Haters gonna hate, trolls gonna troll.
99% approval is what I'm talking about; doesn't get much better. Excellent job!
Thank you Greg
Another great clip…….wise words…..hope the anti’s understand…..thanks a million and good luck 👍
Thank you.
Hi their simon nice to see you out my friend you make it look so easy buddy fantastic shooting👍👍their is our jack looking well lol in frount the fire lol for get the snow flakes simon if was on the orther hand it be difrent buddy give our jack big hug for us as always my friend lv out to you your family godbless you please stay safe and happy pestcontrol thank you so much for your time 👍👍untill the next time keep the faith my friend🛸
Thank you again Darren👍
I got about halfway watching. And getting to the edge of watching something else. And then the “trusted 4 legged legend” came up. Honestly! I love your content. But most of us are here for him.. ❤️
Lol thank you Louis
Nice shooting Si, I thought that first fox was gonna get away he or she was very fidgety. Nice bit of footage of the fox being harassed by the Crow and magpie.
Ye thanks Matt.
Another smashing video showing the benefits of pest control done conscientiously.
Thanks John.
Great to see the hares boxing too. 🙂
Ye smart to watch pal.
As always great job. Beautiful country and give Jack a extra hug
Thanks Peter i sure will.
at 5:30 the real star shows up .. love your dog
Lol thanks Maxine some times these days i can't always take Jack as he can't just walk the distance any more but he will be back next time..
Awesome as always mate! If I’m honest I didn’t expect to see the friendly fox in the scope! The two Maggie’s definitely would have been chewing lead one of them was even trying to have a go at the fox,I know it’s nature but look at all the song birds eggs & chicks they have & that’s why I help nature out whenever one pops up in my cross hairs! Anyway outstanding pal as always,nice to see your buddy as well 👍keep them coming.
Thank you Captain Miller, ye you are right about Frederick but he's just one fox out of thousands i have had a truce with that's all.
Great watching keep them coming nice shooting 🦊👍
Thanks Chris.
" E also likes Wotsits" brilliant! Marksman and a Comic!
Lol cheers Gourd.
Great video as always Simon, love your narration too and as you said no need to take out Fredrick though personally l would of had either the crow or a magpie.
Nice to see the star of the show doing well on those pills.
Keep up with your great work Simon look forward to the next one.
Thanks Gary to be honest i was just zeroing my rifle when he showed up other wise ye i could had.
should have called Fredrick the fox....Reynard.......Reynard The Fox was the hero of several medieval European cycles of versified animal tales that satirize contemporary human society. Though Reynard is sly, amoral, cowardly, and self-seeking, he is still a sympathetic hero, whose cunning is a necessity for survival. He symbolizes the triumph of craft over brute strength,
there are even songs about him......my favourite being on an album Ballads and Songs (1970) by Nic Jones ...... its on YT
Lol thanks Willy.
Im one of the 99% and think you do a necessary ,job, keep it up ,ive seen devastation those flying vermin do
Thank you Pat.
great post Simon as usual ATB
Thanks Stephen 👍
Marvelous job as always!
Are you sure those two rabbits aren't the ones from my yard?
Hi Jack! Enjoying the fireplace as only us older folks do.
Lol ye i to enjoy it DED 😂🦴
Hi mate that was your best video by far and everything you said is just 100% the truth love the pure honesty and way of life ,I'd not change it for nothing.
Thank you very much Derrick.
G'Day Simon,,,I Hear Ya ,,"If In It Ain't Broke,Don't need Fixing,"
These animal that cause No Threat,Should be let Be,,
Nice Job When required,,Just Not Required all the Time,
Ye to right Ian.
Great shooting, sir!
Thanks horse.
