Had a call off a farmer who's small shoot is having problems with foxes and the keeper is having a hard time getting on top of them, so we went in to help
Hi Phil it's because someone has shot at them and mist with some form of red light in the past and to foxes the 850nm IR light is visible so they soon learn red light mean danger mate 👍
@@keithjones13 interesting thanks. I’m relatively new to the game and can’t afford thermal yet so I purchased the Pard ir scope originally to shoot rabbits with my 22LR but also recently purchased a 22-250 for foxes and I use the scope on both. I haven’t had any issues with foxes being scared of the ir YET and hope it doesn’t happen anytime soon lol 👍
Great video, do you use the muzzle velocity from the box for your ballistics calculator? Or did you invest in a chrono? Your 5cm bullet drop is similar to mine for that distance, I'm assuming you're using a 223.
Thanks Ronan , I home load my own bullets, I find them better than factory loads in my rifle , it's a .243 I use on the Foxes I find it has a bit more dropping power and gives you less runners, saying that I've had 2 run lately 🤦🤣🤣👍
You are using a 850nm illuminator... foxes in my area did the same until i bought the nightfox illuminator which allows you to switch between white, 850 and 940.... i leave it on 940 and they dont see it.
@@keithjones13 wicked lights 940 nm had it 3 mnths now used for foxes good for 250 yds never had a fox run from it good piece of kit bought from ian hodges £120
