Welcome to the seventh episode of our fox shooting series on Shooting & Country TV! Foxing with Mark Ripley (aka 260RIPS) is a monthly series based around fox control using predominantly thermal imaging and night vision kit.
For a nice change, and to try and bag some venison for the larder, Mark first heads out on the hunt for a roe or fallow buck, then switches to "fox mode" as darkness falls, heading to another farm where some chickens have been taken on a regular basis by some problem Charlies.
The farmer will be VERY happy with the result!

Spot on Rippers 👍💥👌

[@THLR]

Nice film, you explain very well Mark!

[@260rips]

Thanks Mate 👍 glad you like the channel, hope your keeping well😉

[@bruiser6479]

Lovely shooting. The thermal spotter and IR scope combination is very effective. Hopefully the chicken numbers stay steady for a while. The .243 certainly hits hard.

[@stephenlewis195]

Great video mark. Who needs a foxpro when you can call like that ? The 243 made light work of those foxes thought you might of seen a deer but there we go , Can’t have all, Keep the videos coming mark made great viewing. 👍

[@ianspicer3885]

Great shooting 😊👍

[@edwardsheridan6874]

Great video as always wear you using copper rounds

[@260rips]

Hi no still using the acutips, copper is a bit hard to get hold of at the moment!

[@johnpatton3904]

Hi Mark, great video but could you do sopme videos with kit the average joe can afford. Good old fashioned lamping etc.

[@shanegibb997]

Excellent video Mark , I've not long bought a Sightmark Wrath , is the it that comes with it any good or do I have to upgrade ???

[@paulhoward3999]

Hi mark love the content you give out and the knowledge you give. Question do you take any people out on a shoot if you do would love the opportunity to go with as an observer

[@richardofoz2167]

Letting you act as observer is what these videos are for!

[@liamriley8378]

Your scope off to right bud liam

[@adl2005]

Why doe's the camera man keep focusing on your wellies, has he got a rubber fetish.

[@ShootingCountryTV]

😂 not to our knowledge

[@teameliteuk2023]

Unreal shooting again Mark. What do you make of the sightmark wraith 4k max?

[@260rips]

I prefer the hd 👍

[@stephencarroll6014]

@@260rips Why?

[@260rips]

@@stephencarroll6014 I find it’s more user friendly and needs less messing around with than the 4K. The 4K seems to constantly need the ir adjusted to suit different distances. The hd is also a fair bit cheaper and the ir can be mounted on top rather than on the left of the 4K which for me as a left hander fouls the bolt lift!

[@davepeters4251]

What ir torch do you use please?

[@matthewnobby6789]

What torch mount is that

[@260rips]

It’s the wicked lights one from scott country 👍

[@Johnny7mm]

Shooting animals with thermal and nv isnt much sport i hunt plenty myself but give them a chance use a lamp

[@260rips]

Foxes are still pretty smart creatures and even using such modern techniques can still be challenging! I do still on occasion use a lamp but there’s no doubt about it if you want to effectively control foxes then thermal and nv is a game changer.
