Shooting Foxes @ the Dairy Farm

Out tonight shooting foxes @ a local dairy. The farmer called to say there's a few foxes hanging around the poddy calf paddock. These foxes annoy the mothers as they are in labor. Foxes sometimes chew off the lips, nose and tongue of the little calf while it's being born.
Due to the property being too wet to drive around. I positioned myself on a hill overlooking the poddy calf pen. Ended up being quite productive with 6 foxes being dispatched in a couple of hours.

Nice one mate, I've also had good luck with the 'g'day mate' stopper and also the 'oi dickhead' fox stopper both work very well.

G’day from Texas USA.. Nice work chap!

Thank you mate 👍

Nice work as always Rodney. Good to see you including the reality of the ones that don't immediately drop on the spot.

Beautifully done . You are a credit to our passion. I wish every hunter could project them selves as well as you do and we might just get a bit more credibility.

came across this 9 months later. Great video indeed. My favorite part by far is when he yelled " Good day mate" and proceeded to just hole punch the predator. I was definitely taken back and had a good laugh still even while I'm writing this.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed 😉

[@garyvee6023]

Looooved my .223. I sooo miss my rifles. I sold them all many many years ago before coming back to WA, (I had them in SA) I knew it was just going to be too hard to get the permits for them back in the 80's. I am too old now. 😆

That's a shame mate. 223 certainly is a fantastic calibre Gary 👌

[@Type1on2wheels]

Hi Rod, I’m not a hunter but do enjoy the pest control vids! Noticed you’re wearing Hunters Element clothing. What are your go to jackets when it’s the middle of winter?

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

No brand in particular mate. I swear by 100% merino thermals and then several layers and a wind proof jacket. Most of the major clothing brands make great gear and it all looks pretty good too. Hunters Element, Ridgeline and Spika 👍👍👍

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Fox v Cat. 🤔 Much prefer to shoot the feral cats 🐈

[@DriveCarToBar]

@@RJMHuntingAustralia sadly, we in the USA are still trying to convince state legislatures to let us clean up our feral cat problems. Some of them have been a little receptive, but the animal rights folks would rather a million native birds get eaten rather than see one feral, escaped kitty cat be harmed. But they seem to forget that here, we have natural predators who aren't concerned with quick, clean kills. It only takes one time hearing a cat scream as it gets ripped apart by a pack of coyotes to realize that's a horrible way to die. Maybe I should go out into the desert near my home and set up a hide, but with a microphone. Let them hear how savage nature is compared to a hunter.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Hard to watch the predator kills in some of the nature shows. Long slow drawn out death. As you said, much more ethical with a rifle.

[@jasoncarretino1121]

Any cats??

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Not on this shoot buddy 😭

[@jaysanders7472]

Why don’t the foxes focus on the rabbits. I would figure they would be rich for the taking

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Even though they're all pests, the foxes are priority on this property due to the diseases they spread and potelntial damage to livestock

great video, just wondering what you have sighted your 223 into? cheers

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

3/4" high at 100m Tyler

[@stuarth43]

surprised some of those calves can weigh 70 lbs, do not often see you use two rounds, which is understandable given the cost of ammo, ammo seems costly in gun crazy USA too tell me, you have kills at 150 and kills way out, do you need reset the sights or does your 223 shoot flat for 500, dunno much abt that yes never thought of foxes hanging around the birth, bastards you should skin em out and sell the hides

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

No need for a second round when the first one does the job mate. The 223 shoots flat enough out to 200m. Need to start holding over after that. 👌
