Fox Hunting 》Snakes & Guns 》Australia

Fox Hunting in Australia. You never know what you might cross paths with in the Aussie bush. This large black snake was only a few metres away from the track. I'm definitely not too keen on them. Was surprised to see one out as it's been wet and cold. Few foxes about. 3 seen and 3 down to the my trustee Sako chambered in 223 topped with the Pulsar Trail2 XP50 LRF. I was running the Icotec Outlaw electronic caller which brought in the 1st feral. Spotted with the Helion 2 Pro handheld monocular. Fox 2 was as dumb as they come. Wandered in from downwind of me and propped nicely when lip squeaked.

Thank you for saving Australian native wildlife 👍👍👍

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

My pleasure mate. Exactly why we do it. 👌

[@reddog5378]

Sounds like the powers that be in KZbin are living in a sheltered world of denial. Keep up the good work, the majority of us understand and appreciate what you and others are doing. Unfortunately because most of us stay silent and say nothing the vocal minority are usually the only ones heard. Support this and any other feral hunting videos before we lose them all.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks champion. Much appreciate the support buddy.

[@mattycoombes58]

Love it as always Rodney nice shooting mate and yes it sucks youtube is making it hard for the hunting family to enjoy what they love

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks Matty, we just have to stand together mate. 👌

[@michaelcauser474]

Good evening Rodney, slowly working through your back catalogue of videos. It is a pity that some of the most stupid videos have no problems, but someone doing a service for Australians, Aussie native wildlife and farm stock apparently has life made difficult for them. Anyone culling feral animals humanely is okay in my book, and I am not a shooter or a hunter. I couldn't hit the barn door with a shotgun even if I was standing inside the barn. Keep up the good work Sir.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks Michael, much appreciate the support mate 👊

Great shooting 💥💥💥 The long grass is killing me too, I can find them with the thermal monocular but can't pick them up with the NV! I think I'll have to resort to a bait station again to get them where I want them 👍🦊💥

Adapt and overcome mate. That's all we can do for now.

i'm the one to put his foot in every cow pat. wish it were mud instead. great vid. woke early today, 2.30am, to have a cat eye shine in paddock. took off while going for the rifle from the safe. i don't seem to have much luck with calling them back in. i think it's time to set up the trap again.

I think we've all have our fair share of run ins with cow turds. My nemesis is barbed wire. 🤣

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

It's such a shame that fox hunting is vilified by non-Australians and animal rights people who don't realise that foxes are an introduced and incredibly dangerous animal to our wildlife. I've never gone hunting, but I really wish I could. We need to bring back the fox fur trade!

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

At a bare minimum, a fox bounty in every state would be a good start mate 👍

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

@@RJMHuntingAustralia Absolutely agree. A fox bounty and a revival of the fox fur industry. After its collapse in the 80s, fox populations exploded. We need to encourage *more* people to hunt foxes, not discourage it!

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

💯% mate 👌

[@dinos8557]

What precautions do you take for snake avoidance? Snake boots, chaps etc?

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Generally just a good pair of boots and caution. Sometimes I wear gaiters but not often

[@paulfairbrass4424]

Good shooting Rodney. put your video's down as keeping fit and educational, that'll cover it.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks mate. If only it were that easy. 👍

@@RJMHuntingAustralia good work mate and they should pay bounties on exotic animals

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Really stinks that there is no bounty system in NSW. Both Vic and SA have one. NSW dragging the chain as usual. 🤬🤬

[@SunnieSnell]

@@RJMHuntingAustralia On a serious note what they need is old people like me to go out and wipe these pests. As an oldie we have no ego to boast about. My slogan is if ya do not know where the bullet will end then do not pull trigger. Just keep up the good work.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

That's a very important slogan. I also live by if you're not 1000% sure of ur target identification. DON'T SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER.

[@ezrabrook3993]

Was the snake a Red or Blue Belly? The Lil'Unit said the last one he saw was a Black one! He said he found it in a tool box! 😂🤣😂 Big Unit seems ur attracted to black color thing's! That cow just wanted a hug! 😂🤣😂 🐴❤️🤠🇨🇱

[@mooang17]

Do snakes come up in your night vision? Being cold blooded? They just come up black in the shape of a snake i guess.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Yes. They actually come up cold in the thermal mate.

[@chipsammich2078]

What call sequence are you using?

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

I don't run a set sequence mate. With foxes it really depends on time of year, what area they are in and what food sources are available to them.

[@bobfife9071]

Hello mate what tripod do you use in your vids im from the uk and I can’t find one like yours what make and model is yours and from where did you get it. Thanks in advance, great vids your making. Bob

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Hi Bob, I'm using a Bexin carbon fibre tripod with 40mm diameter legs. It's the same as the Innorel RT90C . The Innorel RT80C will more than do the job and is a bit lighter to carry. I got mine direct from China.

can i ask what range do you zero your 223 when using a thermal?

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Bang on at 50m or 3/4" high at 100m mate

[@rob45x]

Just a quick question. If you hunt various animals , do you also shoot the snakes ?

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

No mate. The snakes in the state where I live are protected as they are native animals and not introduced pests. It's actually against the law to shoot them.

[@rob45x]

@@RJMHuntingAustralia oh ok. Thanks for the info mate. I'm just starting off into hunting so I'm a beginner. I'm in nsw. So I'll look into some info on the snakes.

Where abouts in Australia is this?

[@ThePaulv12]

I'd guess NSW along the east side of the divide perhaps within about 200km north or south of Sydney possibly more south. Could be wrong, might be in Victoria, Tassie or even southern Queensland but all on the coast side where the rainfall has been insane in the last few months.

[@richardaustinaustin1890]

Are hunting channels not a considerable percentage of KZbin output? I’m puzzled by this, they’re alienating a big chunk of viewers. My opinion, for what it’s worth like,

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

It also comes down to advertisers not wanting their businesses associated with hunting related content because they're concerned some nufty may complain.

Playing catchup on your videos and on mr hollywood as well. Question? How do you bercome a professional hunter in NSW with the stupid firearms laws they now have in place, I cant even find a hunters licence, plenty of others on their police site, but all for collectors, corporations, and such.. Shouldn't have thrown my licence away back in 1985.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

It's a fairly complex and drawn out process mate.

[@Lex-Hawthorn]

@@RJMHuntingAustralia yes mate, too bloody complicated. Bow and arrows me thinks, for some food, and the odd feral. Actually mate it's easier to make your own explosives here in NSW, than it is to own a firearm. O.o
