Another cracking video Simon. I admire your efforts in attempting to educate the “green city types”. In my country / state, the fox is an introduced species, public enemy number 1, and the government pays $10 AU for everyone I put on the ground. Your videos provide invaluable information / methodology on dealing with the problem. Cheers and thanks again.
There's a time and a place for all creatures but the fox isn't either in this case. I know for sure if there was another way to solve the problem you would take it on board. Now the sheep can get busy having their family without any worries. Thank you Simon once again an excellent job done to perfection.
Thanks for sharing Simon. Can see why you go the stainless barrels over there. Over 40 degrees C here and no rain for months. I had a pair killing lambs together here in my first thermal/ night gear season and got both like you have here. Never do that with a spotlight. I cant use a moderator here but they still don't know where the shot has come from.
Amazing as usual Simon! I saw the second fox run after the first shot, I didn't think you would be able to get that one! Silly me I will NEVER second guess Simon6ppc's abilities again! 💪💪💪💪👍👍😀😀
Great video - that Alpex is a great piece of kit we are all very jealous - if only people realised what damage foxes do ground nesting birds- keep the videos coming -
Good video, outstanding outcomes. As a bird-lover myself, I appreciate your efforts to offer protection, especially when nesting begins. Hope Jack is doing well. Footnote: I recently added a new 223 to my varmint rifle collection. ✅🎯
Well done Pal great video as always.....It would be interesting to see a little long range footage testing the capabilites of the lrf in conjunction with the ballistic calculator function......cheers Simon keep it up👍
Another great vid to add to the collection.....for anyone into shooting and field sports there's something for everyone. I hope I don't sound like I'm blowing smoke vertically somewhere but through your vids you are a great ambassador for the sport & vermin control and for what many people don't truly understand as being a necessity. You know me mate I'm always holding out for a corvid control vid (especially with the Sako's.....so there's no pressure lol) but I never cease to enjoy all of them. Best wishes and hope Jack's ok. .
Thank you Geoff i really appreciate your comment, also ye Spring is around the corner and i have the swarovski back on the 223 zeroed i just need to check it at range and its all go. Jack's ok just very old now and i don't think he will be with me this year as he is to weak now to walk to where i shoot from but ye i have lots planned for the coming year and keep safe my good friend.
Great video Simon and excellent shooting on the 2 foxes and considering the conditions I think that the video turned out pretty good. I just happened to catch the 2nd come running from the left side after you took the shot on the first one. Great shooting on the rat's as well. Cheers Simon and give Jack a pat for me
Curlew and skylarks had a noticeable resurgence on the certain permissionds once i started controlling foxes and crows. i noticed and so did the landowner and their neighbours. It does work.
Nice job bud..always akward when filming at same time..I have the same set up as you with the Drone Pro and the yukom mpr..lost count how many times I have missed my chance faffing turning everything on and getting comfy.
This is the best way and most humane way to eradicate problem foxes and I’ll leave it at that without getting into an argument. Cracking shots Simon buddy and excellent video description for why they need controlling. I’d love a new night vision but the funds won’t allow at the moment, hopefully when and if I can get at my pension in June I just might upgrade but I’ll have to wait and see. But as always Simon great video and always a pleasure to watch buddy.
@@simon6ppc246 it’s still me buddy Jonathan just changed my thumbnail from the two black labs, more fitting for my channel, with the pipe hanging out of my gob!😂
Hi Simon, Again, super shooting over such huge distances, and although fine animals, the devastation to wildlife just has to be controlled. If the moaners and do-gooders were affected in the same way as the Foxes affect the ground nesting birds or people who wake up one morning and find all their chickens dead but none eaten, they'd soon button it. Thank you for your insight and showing us what you do and your kit. Take care. Ps. One thing the film doesn't show is how cold it must be out there. Do you have handwarmers? The seemingly popular ones are Zippo, which burns lighter fuel. I thought the smell of the burnt fuel may give the game away, as animals have amazing senses and intuition. I have battery rechargeable ones that I find work really well with a good charge time on them.
Great job simon,some footage from the alpex 4k,hik micro should be giving you a few bob...😉just wondering though,not sure how long you have the 4k lrf but do you know if the lrf box always follow the splash of the rangefinder or does it have to be adjusted to have bith to line up.im curious to know this for when im selecting the different profiles when switching between rifles which would be zero'd to the set profile,sound 🇮🇪
Ye Richard different rifles have different zero settings but the splash always follows the tiny square box it being above the cross or below the cross depending on the zero of the rifle where it is at the time if that makes sense.
Fair play simon,thanks for the reply.It does make sense and being hones i was hopeing it would,it would be a disaster if not,at least then you would know exactly where the range distance is at all times especially during daylight .I have the pard DS35 and you have to manually adjust the lrf box to the splash,although the DS35 doesn't look a patch of the quality of the new Alpex 4k lrf.I think I shall have to he doing a bit more overtime for a new toy.Thanks again simon, your videos are savage,firstly you got me hooked on the .223 shooting now I think the fx king is after passing it out,👍🇮🇪
Lol ye the Alpex 4K is brilliant so far i just like every thing about it so i am getting another now to put on an air rifle as the LRF one is now on my 6ppc, and ye the King! that rifle i have not used it yet in anger come Spring on the crows it should be brilliant.
Great shooting again Simon, can I ask Simon when you zoom in with the Alpex across the fields is it as pixelated through the scope view as it seems to be with the recorded footage? Thanks for the video
Great shooting as always Simon,I know you use the pbir ir is it the best you’d recommend or is there money no object another compact one you would?I’m using the sniper hog coyote cannon but it weighs the same as a cannon 😂
Let's see.. it's night and 100+ to 200+ yard shots is not too shabby in my book. I would be lucky to do that in daylight with static targets. As always give the lad a pat on the head a treat.
Great filming again, like you I’m a drone pro 10x man I’ve had for over 10yrs. I’ve went to HIKMICRO sq50 a year ago and love it but for clarity at distance can’t beat drone. I’ve ordered a Alpex lrf before I left to come on holiday 4 week ago but almost over and straight back into lambing so my jet lag will help. What do you make of drone pro v alpex? I’m only getting it for ballistic turret/ rangefinder to try and eliminate something else I’m carrying
The Alpex beats the Drone in every way Cameron apart from one thing and that's picture quality at like 200 yards at night as the Drone is fixed at 10x and to be fair any NV which can zoom in or out i don't think will ever match it because of this, saying this the Alpex sees good enough though with all the modern up grades so for me makes a brilliant NV.
Simon - just curious - at 5:29 there's a large reflection at the top of that distant hill (top of scope frame) - is that a sign reflecting the IR torch beam? Great video as always - thanks for sharing!

Before you shot the first fox you could clearly see the mist rolling through the area through the scope. Impressive. When you shot the first fox, one ran off in the background. Is that the second one you shot or was the second one a different fox a little later?
Hi Simon. I'm hoping to upgrade my night vision scope soon. What would you prefer or recommend between the Hikmicro Apex 4k and the infra TD70l v2, Now that you have used both. Thanks
What’s the mod you’ve got on the .223? I’m looking for a new one for my Winchester xpr .223 and I like the look of the one you’ve got. Great video btw👌

People may not agree, but foxes are plentiful, ground nesting birds are not. You're doing a great job Simon 👍
100% pal you hit the nail right on the head
No trembling with Simon, on, bang, dead,that dog fox is a Crufts Champion!
Brilliant as usual, Thanks mate!
Thank you Bobby much appreciated pal.

Thank you Thomas
It is a shame this has to be done but if you didn't do this we would soon loose a lot of these beautiful birds Well done Simon for the work you do 👍👍

It’s amazing seeing the conditions that Simon works under, quite the contrast to 28c at 2.00am in the morning. Lol
@davesmall5392 WA or SA I'm guessing?
Ye cheers Dave its always windy, rainy or foggy here lol.
As soon as you hear ‘Nice one’ you know it’s a kill shot. Great shooting Simon

Well done Pal great video as always.....It would be interesting to see a little long range footage testing the capabilites of the lrf in conjunction with the ballistic calculator function......cheers Simon keep it up👍
Ye that could be happening over the next few week pal.
you see the second one run after the first one is shot.
6:05 he was suddenly in a hurry !
Ye i had to move sharpish why i didn't have time to really adjust any thing picture wise.

Ye thanks David,
Crackin job Simon
Thank you,
Good job Simon best out the way 👍
Cheers Pete
Thanks for the video Simon, 6ppc and alpex great combo. Alpex on the king with ballistic app will be interesting on the crows.
Ye its crossed my mind to be fair as well
Again Simon thanks for posting!
My pleasure!
Curlew and skylarks had a noticeable resurgence on the certain permissionds once i started controlling foxes and crows. i noticed and so did the landowner and their neighbours. It does work.
Sure does my friend.
Great work young fella, nice to see, keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Top shooting Simon… I know that feeling of having to go collect over and under fences 😉👍
Lol ye its bad new 😂
Superb Simon nuff said....

Love it when a plan comes together! Great shooting as always mate, the birds round there must love you?? ;)
They did in my teens lol ye we have a good balance here at the moment just right and i hope it keeps that way pal.
Great video again si hard to beat lambing
Absolutely
Cracking video as usual Simon
After you shot the first fox was that the second one that ran past top of the screen
Grand job fella 👌
Ye it was pal 👌
Cracking vid Si
Cheers mate.
Wish I could get my rifles to shoot that good. Past 100 wind is always high gust. It can drive you crazy most days off a tripod. 😊
Ye it can be hard work at times Jay but if you learn the wind and what it can do you can get around it pal.
Both down, got to get your priorities right 👍🏼🏴
Thanks John.
Fab video as usual! Beautiful foxes, but as you say in the wrong place sadly. Thanks again!
You are right!

To be fair they do pixelate but that night the fog and mist and such did make it worse pal.
@@simon6ppc246 that would be interesting to see then in a early summer morning fog
Great shooting as always Simon,I know you use the pbir ir is it the best you’d recommend or is there money no object another compact one you would?I’m using the sniper hog coyote cannon but it weighs the same as a cannon 😂
Truthful Simon the PBiR X is the cleanest beam in a IR i have ever come across, you can use a laser which will see a tad further just not as clean.
👍👍💥💥
Cheers pal.
Let's see.. it's night and 100+ to 200+ yard shots is not too shabby in my book. I would be lucky to do that in daylight with static targets.
