Welcome to the third episode of our new 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.
This time, we have a mixture of daytime foxing and nighttime foxing, as Mark spends a morning and a late evening at a farm with a fox problem on a mission to clear it of the pesky predators.
It's a seriously successful exercise, and the farmer's wife - and her chickens - can relax for now, safe in the knowledge that this particular band of Charlies has been dealt with, swiftly and humanely.

Nice shooting, the drone footage is coming on. When are you going to satisfy your viewers with some more 600-800m crows and magpies.

[@260rips]

Thank you 👍 Currently doing load development with the 260 after the eu banned the powder I was using 😤!

[@richardharvey1637]

@@260rips I've found reloader 16 and 17 to be good for the 6.5creedmoor also been told reloader 26, slower burn for more speed and all readily available down here.

[@260rips]

@@richardharvey1637 getting pretty good results with the n160 at the minute 👍

[@richardharvey1637]

@@260rips looking at 6.5creedmoor it's quite slow, using reloader 17 I'm getting nearly 2700fps with a 147eldm and not up to max charge yet. Pretty happy with that.

[@kevinsmith7274]

Love your videos keep up the great work I am after buying a plusa 2 xp 50 some pice of kit I am using 95 grm 243 bullets for foxing what grain would recommend mark cheers

[@260rips]

If your rifle shoots them well then stick with them 👍 for foxing in a 243 I generally like either the 58 grain or 75 grain stuff but my mate uses 105 grainers in his 243 and it works really well for him 😉

[@stephengunrunnerhanson3550]

This the only way to get them I am not against fox hunting but this is times better the rifle man can see he takes the shot and it's done some will say poor fox 🦊 but they need controlling and this way it done

[@duopkik]

What camcorder do you use for the night recording?

[@260rips]

Hi mate we are using a Panasonic hc-vx980

[@duopkik]

@@260rips thanks, much appreciated.

[@neiledwards8931]

I alway found on the farms I cover : if I shot the young foxes it was a negative reaction later in the seasons less-foxes or a long span of time for them to return to higher numbers 🦊

[@lilsteve1979]

Did you see the one run behind the first one

[@260rips]

Yes we spotted that one, there were a few there!

[@nickravenhill723]

What happens to the dead foxes?
