Hi every one i go back to see my old friend Percy the Peacock for more Crow Magpie Control and end up having to sort a problem fox that has killed two of the Turkeys
Another cracking video and, as ever, your attitude towards what you do is spot on. I have always said to people i know that the right knowledgeable person with good marksmanship can solve a fox problem with no fuss or bother to anyone, unlike those in red coats!. Not wanting to sound envious but you have some beautiful land to shoot over 😜. Bravo to you and keep up your good work sir 👏😉
Good man for not shooting the Hares. Here in New Zealand everyone seems to shoot them. but I don't know why? Nice to watch them in your video. Thanks for the great videos you produce!
I've pulled so many shots on hares, I never used to take more than one per season. It's a crime to take more game than you need, IMO. Respect the countryside.
Interesting how that fox was running down turkeys when all of those rabbits are available, but I'm guessing the turkeys are easier to catch (and probably taste better).
I do like the old fox, such bonnie animals but when they start messing with the burdz, good night Vienna. A good crow is a dead crow. Great vid. Cheers. 👍
Great job, I know this is an older video but I watched 4 Hares while out squirrel shooting this afternoon, they are getting frisky already.........well it is March tomorrow! ;)
Simon6ppc have a go with the jsb hades pellets, mine bloody loves them and the energy transfer is incredible. I’v had all modern pcp’s over the years and they’ve all been sold on, theoben nailed just right nearly 30 years ago
Ye pal your right.i have tried the Hades but can't find any more at the moment. And ye I got a daystate 25 last year redwolf..its good but not my rapid hence why you keep seeing me use it
Unfortunately hares were shot on sight in the area where I used to live to keep the travellers off, I used to shoot a lot of rabbits on various ground I had and the game dealer wanted hares at £5 a pop I had just gone thru an expensive divorce and for a few years money was tight. I needed the money but not that badly, used to love to see them, but an old boy who was a great country man who got me into shooting as a kid liked the odd hare. Probably once or twice max I would get one for him, I bloody hated it in hindsight I should have bought one from the game dealer.
Great shooting. We have "turkeys" like that free roaming in the zoo where I work, but we call them peacocks. I've always thought they were very similar to our native turkeys in behavior and physicality to some extent, so it's neat that you call them turkeys there.
@@simon6ppc246 yeh I used to like seeing them ,my boss didn’t as they would rear and release pheasants but they really didn’t impact the population that much ,do you do the pest control as a full time job?
That clip from the drone could be used to show how realistic the call from the fox pro is....it actually went to bite the caller 😮👌🏻The drone pro is getting on in terms of the current technology but still one of the best nv scopes out there in my opinion...I wouldn’t be without mine
Thanks M ye the Drone is brilliant it has its faults but as yet still up there with the best, i am thinking of trying the Sightmart 4K very soon to be honest as it will be simpler to use and record will see
You may want to reconsider "I only kill problem foxes" b/c they will be a problem at some point. If you wait until they are a "problem fox" the farmer will have already lost some farm animals-seems best to simply shoot them when you see them. But, it's jmo. Great video as always. God bless.
Great way to start the week with a great hunting vid, way'da go, thank you!!….quality shooting and nothing better than seeing corvids taken out plus a rogue fox. Love the Hare footage too and 100% agree with not targeting them.
Hi Simon Great footage of the hares, id be of the same mind set buddy, hares are getting rarer by the season and are a pleasure to watch doing their own thing I think that a lot of senseless killing of foxes should be questioned, as they have a job to do in nature, scavenging taking ill and weak animals and birds If they are thinned to much, it in its self can create issues around decease and sickness within the environmental landscape, thats my take on it anyway Again, thanks for sharing Simon, your videos are always exellent and a good distraction from day to day mundane life Take care stay safe and keep it lit.👍 my friend
No David i don't shoot enough foxes to ever cause that to be honest as i only shoot the problem ones. In one of my last videos you will se me feeding the foxes as i do admire them.
Great work Simon! Is the pest control causing behavioral changes with the pests...like more lambs surviving being blinded at birth because now there's a deadly shepard nearby? You need a rapid fire rifle!!
That fox came into the call like an Express train 👍
To fast to be honest
Sorry bout Percy’s mates, hope he’s well, as this video is a year old. Enjoying what you’re doing, many thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Percy is a ponce, all those hares at the end, brilliant. Well done!
Lol poor Percy
Brilliant mate
Very good shot placement and so glad you got him
Spot on
Thanks Dave.
love your attitude towards wildlife.always enjoy your work.
Thank you very much! Jane
Another great video Simon, well done and thank you.
Geoff.
Many thanks again Geoff
It is wonderful to see Hares protected by you. The shooting is spot on. I wish I had your patients. Great video. Can't wait for th next one.
Thanks a lot FB ,i some times edit them and think is this worth putting on but comments like this make me glad i did
Or indeed his spelling ?
@@serenityinside1 I think Simon qualifies as a doctorate.

The fox looked a bit perplexed when he reached the call ,that’s when he knew he messed up!
Ye shame for him really North but he had been a problem
@@simon6ppc246 yeh I used to like seeing them ,my boss didn’t as they would rear and release pheasants but they really didn’t impact the population that much ,do you do the pest control as a full time job?
Awsome again fella!!
Thanks a lot Derrick
Great video Simon nice shooting and Charlie fox got his well deserved dessert lead for his head. Cheers Brother
Ye he sure did mate
Wonderful job pal. No more fox problem for the moment” cheers from California mate”
Thanks a lot pal
Nice video mate I used to keep pea fowl and the foxes used to come from miles to get them
Ye pal they do draw them in
Simon, brilliant video and attitude, cheers man 👌🏻
Thanks Bert.
Good lad!💪👍👍👍
Thanks Juzzy.
To many rabbits, time for rabbit drumsticks & some blackstrap
Lol they were Hares pal
That clip from the drone could be used to show how realistic the call from the fox pro is....it actually went to bite the caller 😮👌🏻The drone pro is getting on in terms of the current technology but still one of the best nv scopes out there in my opinion...I wouldn’t be without mine
Thanks M ye the Drone is brilliant it has its faults but as yet still up there with the best, i am thinking of trying the Sightmart 4K very soon to be honest as it will be simpler to use and record will see
I got lucky with mine it was always set firmly well supported in the mounts so never gave any zero issues in the 5 years I’ve had it👍🏼
👍👍👍
Thanks Mac
Good job, please keep the great vids coming !
Thanks, will do!
Great as always mate!
Thanks again! pal
You may want to reconsider "I only kill problem foxes" b/c they will be a problem at some point. If you wait until they are a
"problem fox" the farmer will have already lost some farm animals-seems best to simply shoot them when you see them.
But, it's jmo. Great video as always. God bless.
Cheers mate
Dead on shot. Keep them coming. Wild life around you.
Thanks F B will do
If you don't mind my asking, what part of this world are you in. My guess is Ireland, but not sure what part? Am I close?
UK Ben.
Good vidéo
Thank you Jean.
Nice one simon.keep it up pal
Thanks, will do!
Great way to start the week with a great hunting vid, way'da go, thank you!!….quality shooting and nothing better than seeing corvids taken out plus a rogue fox. Love the Hare footage too and 100% agree with not targeting them.

Didn’t wait around on that fox
No mate he had been naughty
Poor Percy's tail feathers looked stressed out !
Ye he had a bad time Larry lol
Glad you went back for the Charlie.
BTW have you tried the JSB Hades pellet?
Cheers Mark, i can,t find any Hades as yet but have gone on to H/N slugs which have been awsum

RABBIT BARBECUE IT SOUNDS GREAT 🤣😂🤔

Thanks a lot Andrew,i have spent my entire life shooting to be honest in Competitions and vermin control...
One up for Percy......👍👍👍
Thanks Dave he wasn,t just his self that day lol

Why the fk dislike move on people. 🍁👍 Simon 72+ Manitoba hunter yorkshire expat ps: are you allowed A 22lr that would takeout Basil brush ?
I am Derek ye but would sooner use the 6ppc.
@@simon6ppc246 great! I jus got back from grouse hunting had a great day. Better than KFC 🍁🐻
@@dereklonewolf9011 Brilliant we shoot grouse on the moors here to but the numbers are not just the same as they were 50 years ago.
Does shooting foxes create a rabbit over population problem?
No David i don't shoot enough foxes to ever cause that to be honest as i only shoot the problem ones. In one of my last videos you will se me feeding the foxes as i do admire them.
@@simon6ppc246 cool, Simon. I admire predatory animals. But, I understand the need to protect livestock. Absolutely.
Did Percy get new friends?
Not really pal the farmer sold Percy because he kept chasing his sheep lol and i think he still has two turkey's left.lol
I like explosive kills, not flapping death, I realize you are restricted by location,
Ye thanks David you are right
The fox when . You film she have a egg in her mouth
No Jose

Thanks
Great work Simon! Is the pest control causing behavioral changes with the pests...like more lambs surviving being blinded at birth because now there's a deadly shepard nearby?
