XD I love all the people saying Steve is evil for killing foxes when they fail to realise that he is helping conserve animals that are supposed to be here and getting rid of pests

[@robclippo1161]

Tall KnowItAll, a very small percentage of Australia is from the also Saxons and only 40% of Australian are English

[@steveleeilikeguns]

Foxes are not native to Australia. They are a problem for farmers as they kill a lot of lambs but the main reason people hunt them is because they are responsible for killing alot of smaller native animals and birds. They are the reason some native species are extinct in parts of Australia.

[@lindsaycooper4784]

Good to see you have a 9422m. I was left one from my grandfather and love it if I had the money I would buy another one. Good video keep them coming.

[@steveleeilikeguns]

Its a 17 HMR. Great small game caliber.

[@crossbj]

I had no idea how many foxes were around, good shooting guys

[@sfpqld7431]

Nice work on the Foxes Steve. Silva seems to work a treat.

[@steveleeilikeguns]

I really like both calibers. If your shooting for pelts or whistling, I would say the .22mag is the best as it doesn't do much damage and it also isn't as noisy, if your shooting for pest eradication or an area where the foxes are under greater hunting presure, the .223 would be the pick of the two as you can take longer shots.

[@TheIbi1983]

I use the same whistle... it's freaking awesome. Grate video mate.

[@TheBlueCaterpillarStudio]

Good job guys, this vid has helped me heaps...I'm going to get a fox whistle now and have a go! They def are a pest and better cull them with a quick shot than let them starve to death...

[@TheF0X]

haha i went whistling and it was just like this, the fox actually got so close and looked me in the eye. It was brilliant :) Great video!

[@peteoburrito920]

Y are there 100 dislikes if you don't like hunting than don't fkn watch it simple as that I gave it a like

[@nitronugget01]

awesome fox whistle Steve Thanks. And you made another great Video of coarse!!!

[@nzsoutherman]

Great whistle and footage guys

[@elliptical29]

Good trick with that great whistle. Nice shooting boys!

[@steveleeilikeguns]

The .17HMR is my pick for foxes if you want to keep the pelts..22mag is good as well but the .17 is better. Shotguns tend to put to many holes in the pelts and you need to get pretty close for it to be effective.

[@teacheng3795]

I bought a couple of Silva Fox Whistles ( standard and mini size) from Ron Kiehne and they also work brilliantly. The whistle on this video sounds very similar though I think the Silva is perhaps slightly raspier. Hungry foxes come a-running!

[@DamzMoneyy]

Love your work Steve

[@poulo69]

good work there steve. i do a lot of lamping as we call it here. i use a bunch of different callers, some cheep and some expensive. but the best of them all is my mate moss. he can usually turn even the fox that has been shot at before. always good to have a few callers with you. would you do a video on the different ones you have. cheers poulo. ps. i love guns to

[@Waqas1Saeed]

you are doing a noble job mate... keep doing it.

[@gameshooter75]

Great video lads well done, they came right in to the call. good clean kills

[@robpinter5431]

It is amazing that the tree hugging greenies are against the eradication of introduced pest animals into Australia. Yes foxes are beautiful, but they are a pest that kills native animals, deer are also beautiful, but they are also a pest, pigs too need to be removed as well as the rabbits....but oh no yo can't shoot them as shooting is bad. Fishing is OK according to society....more cruel to the fish.....but shooting is bad. Good work Steve.

[@bartfenech8495]

100% Rob.

[@stevenosborne3515]

foxs are a pest in Australia love fox hunting i have 2 of those fox whistles get things they are

[@ArtisanTony]

Nice video!

[@ACCENTGROUP]

Splendid shooting, well done!!!

[@MickyDee67]

I don't think there's anything better than the tin from a jam tin lid made into a V and a nail hole through the same place as the one you have. The lighter the gauge of tin the better the squealing rabbit sound.

[@steveleeilikeguns]

No it;s not my property, Its a farm near Glen Innes.

[@Aydm]

Looked like a rabbit took of to the right at 1:13 ..!!... Ha Ha ...cool footage again Steve !!>>>>>

[@alexmckenzie6240]

great shooting boys and good humane kills, foxs look cute in story books but when you speak to farmers that loose live stock chickens ect, its a different story, they are indeed a real problem in Australia keep up the good work

[@Southwalesairsoft]

i am here to stop people saying first! nice video steve!

[@t.vanrossum3136]

"This is how I keep the poisons that are apparently driving T. Van Rossum crazy out of my home" And you're telling ME to grow up?

[@iratensubpros]

Because they were somewhat hidden and probably wearing camo clothes, and the fox whistle is a great tool...

[@o.w.i.m]

Totally insane amounts of fox. Think you can hold fox hunting vacations for every avid fox hunter in England all year round for years and years..

[@Ianreason68]

Hi Steve good shooting. The Silva wistle is being marketed here in the uk as the hot new fox call but did you know that one of your fellow Aussies called Andre Georgescu from Adalade made that kind of wistle well over a decade age and sounds exactly the same. I bought one in 2000. He also made some realy good videos one called Wistling with foxes, which he made when you were still allowed semi-auto shotguns were he used a preproduction wistle to the one I have. Like your songs and your vids.

[@steveleeilikeguns]

No we dont have concealed or open carry laws at all with the exception of police and a few security jobs.

[@steveleeilikeguns]

Yeah..... it's not for sport, its for pest control. I still dont get how you think hunting crows and other pests is different from hunting feral foxes??? but whatever makes you sleep at night.

[@emgex]

Nice shot!

[@Farmer2492]

Love your videos

[@ArtisanTony]

I have always wanted to hunt with the 17 HMR. Thanks!

[@steveleeilikeguns]

Not in NSW but they do have a $10 bounty in Victoria.

[@coleo781]

that looked like in came within 10 ft thats insane nice work

[@padman921]

Great Video mate!!! The foxes are everywhere down here in the riverland in SA at the moment we have been shooting heaps!! we take Atleast two calls when we Go out to keep them guessing... Currently using the Tenterfield whistle and the scotch Predator call which both work great, might have to pick up one of these bad boys also, not sure if you are aware but the SA government are planning on bringing in a fox bounty to match Victoria also

[@NINOMONTELEONE]

Bel video complimenti!

[@Foxsniper]

Hi Guys, how did you attach the camcorder to the scope, great video keep them coming.

[@Paphosmentos]

How close were those!!! awesome!!

[@steveleeilikeguns]

i dont do a lot of fox hunting in Vic but i know there are a lot of great areas with high numbers. Google search hunting clubs and go from there. hope this helps

[@auzhunter1593]

Nice video ... How do you guys have the video camera mounted on the gun and where do i get one lol

[@Hapharzardly]

Fantastic video. I'd hate to be a fox in your territory. Going to test one of those whistle here. I suspect it might pull in a few cats too.

[@steveleeilikeguns]

Just a standard winchester SX3. Not sure as it was a gift from my wife.

[@kylerluo115]

These foxes are so cute.

[@Spicoli1Bilek]

Steve made a wonderful second shot on his first fox. Just as it jumped he hit it dead.

[@Zoza15]

Ya'll have been Playing Sniper Elite 4 by chance? :P

[@533watts]

I looked up baby foxes. After watching the movie the fox and the hound. Thought I would remind myself of a little nature after watching a silly movie like that. This was one of the first responses for my search and I didn't read the topic well enough. If I see you walking down the street. Well, lets just leave it at that.

[@cronulla70]

+533watts grow up, foxes are an invasive introduced animal that decimate native species, unfortunately they have to be killed

[@thegoodboy1998]

would a 243. be ok or overkill

[@NathanChisholm041]

luke curnuttee Way to much for pelt use but for eradication why not! But it would be expensive

[@kenthead2757]

luke curnuttee bloody oath i use 243 no worries out to 400 yards no dramas cz 550 varmint arguably best rifle made in last twenty years

[@aaronescamilla8220]

i was watching this on my phone, i put it down to serve myself a drink n while i was pouring my water he whistled. scared the crap out of me

[@MRxr400]

I'm new to the fox shooting. I assume you can whistle one in on your own, just easier with two is it? Did that fox smell you with you guys being down wind? by the way, that was a top shot, 200M. Nice work guys.

[@chrisp3677]

wow nice video. need to seriously cut the numbers of foxes in Australia.

[@takitezy7]

Where was the fox hit the 1st time at 7:14 ? Also why did it run around like a headless chook for?

[@TheMick18]

Name of gun.?? Awsome vid lads

[@williammackley935]

Steve, what do you clean your guns with. I just purchased a silva fox whistle, I might take it out in the spotlight

[@gmcd1987]

Well done, I have only just gotten into fox hunting this year after a local farmer was complaining that he's lost over 50 lambs to the devils this year alone. Invasive species in Australia that does too much damage to farmers and to native wildlife - kill them where you see them.

[@aussiestumpy]

Nice work steve. How much did the whistle set you back?

[@BobcatSchneidermann]

Haha, you could do that with your S&W 686! Wow, that is an effective whistle.

[@tom7601]

Good shots!

[@T.J-and-Soul]

tom7601 the worst footage ever. Ffs if you go on KZbin practise your camera work first.

[@jyefy]

Hey i think you should try to find and shoot the lathe 20mm anti thank gun and make it into a video or something that would be really cool just a suggestion tho

[@noisyvoyur4459]

hey steve have you ever heard or tried the fox whistle app on an iphone ? friends of mine use it to good use .

[@Mattfordmilestone]

well done... nice shooting. do you think a 17hmr would be sufficient for fox hunting at 75yd and under? and what gun are you using??

[@theoprice721]

Sub 177 or 22 air gun will drop a fox at 20m but 177 is better penetration

[@theoprice721]

17hmr is lethal to foxes about 120m away

[@wilddaysofnoirinspiredbyja8407]

Love your work :)

[@ulbee06]

awesome, im buying one of those whistles on monday

[@dcrewslax33]

did you use that .17hmr on that 150 yard shot?... i currently hut fox with a shotgun using #4 shot and that works great but only out to 20-30 yards and if they hang up im screwed.. im looking to buy a low cal. for this i hunt for pelts.. any advise. what kind of scope is it

[@Mrjonrc88]

That was a good kill it looked at first like a miss as the way it dropped! I have never seen one drop like that!10/10!

[@MrBrentles]

What a beautiful place, wheres that?

[@MrYiacouta]

put links in the description of all your gear would be helpful thanks

[@LARPeratorsAnonymous]

hey steve I know this is kind of s stretch but is there concealed carry in AU? Im guessing not but im just curious

[@nathanconway1380]

dont ban fox hunting

[@patrickwilliamson29]

Fox hunting won't be banned in Australia, they're pests which decimate local wildlife. In the UK, they're native and have an important part of the ecosystem

[@phoenix1916]

It replicates an animal in distress, usually a rabbit which attracts the foxes instinct!

[@flysubcompact]

Steve, Like the whistle...small, simple. Bet it would work on coyotes here in the US. I have to ask...are the foxes a native species in OZ? Or were they imported? Thanks..

[@alexanderkolodziej4808]

That was a close one!

[@mmatt]

Great video Steve! And pass along a "good shooting" to Jared for me too. :-)

[@tomasGM11]

hey steve.what is your opinion of a .22 winchester Magnum rimfire as a foxing gun?or would it be better to get a .223? Thanks mate

[@aris777sexyman]

Hey what is the name of the whistle? And nice video

[@markkyriakou534]

Hey im getting into hunting and I was wondering what caliber you would recommend as a first gun as im 15 and im looking to go hunting for rabbits and foxes

[@DJdeadlyDALEK]

Yeah, I'd love to know the same thing. Did you pick it up while visiting the Great White North or down there in Australia???

[@Hbue84]

"Nice haircut" NOOT!

[@stuntmansyd]

Hey Steve I saw a Remington 7600 in the background in the beginning. I'm thinking of picking one up in .308 how do you rate them? Thanx mate

[@WaznGuy]

An interesting video, but im just curious as a person who has never really had to hunt pests, are foxes really pests?

[@MacHelpManHD]

Get a Marlin 17Hmr around 400 in australia, great gun.

[@hillbillyhansforlife2763]

wow. a fox down there must be much less intelligent than here. I shot one today. suppressed .22lr.

[@ManApe64]

I love seeing the comment section of hunting videos.

[@DukeOfMarshall]

I love the video, but you should invest in a better tripod or at least put some grease on that one. It'll eliminate the cracking noise on the video every time you move the tripod.

[@jab653499]

@flysubcompact foxes were bought to Australia

[@stefanlauster4877]

7:06 What a shot !!!

[@SpartanB257]

Such a beautiful animal.

[@dazza2449]

But such a pest

[@SpartanB257]

Dan Mccall Indeed.

[@lpsfox7894]

He is a ass

[@BullrockMcHammergeil]

that first fox was damn close.

[@camerl2009]

yep and i think they where introduced into AUS. i hunt them here in ontario canada but here you have to skin them and have there hides tanned(its illegal not too this is the same for coyotes and wolves and even some types squirrels) because they're furbearers

[@eatwatukill]

great video good job

[@ArtisanTony]

What caliber was the Ruger? .308?

[@budbuddy7720]

Good clean shot no brain splatter which is a mess to take the fox carcass

[@CookieMunch3r]

The fox is soo adorableee D:

[@calebchristensen900]

What rifle were you using? I'm always curious on the caliber. i've heard and seen everything from a .22 magnum to a .38 special through a long arm.

[@801OutdoorAdventures]

This would be perfect I live in the us and where I'm from we have coyotes in the desert as well as jack rabbits
