Thermal Necessity: Skunk Kill Debrief! 

Well our clown world continues but I keep cranking out content you like. Thanks for coming out to the vid. This is where I post mostly b. this is where the audience has stayed. BTW this review would not exist without TNP Donors, please consider joining long term. I’m so dumb how I operate it I don’t even have TIER levels there; you can join for a $3 per creation (only 6 charged per month btw). You can now join up for FREE. But of course it’s the paying members that keep the show going. TNP Patreon is where the action is! www.patreon.com/Nutnfancy. "Todd Strelka 2d Nice video. The foxes are beneficial. I've heard that there are foxes at U42 South Valley Regional Airport to help keep the bird population down to prevent bird strikes by airplanes. 1 The Nutnfancy Project 2d I totally believe that 1 Sajak 2d Love the format and the undercurrent of this discussion. Long live Nutnfancy the Skunk Slayer! 3 The Nutnfancy Project 2d Thank you Sajak rediius 2d Missed opportunity to call this Operation Skunk Works as a tangential reference to your piloting career. The Nutnfancy Project 2d Never too late for that...maybe when I debrief the next one Load replies Moe Mansour 2d What's your thoughts on the S&W 432 or just .32 H&R mag snub noses in general? Wish snubies were legal where I am. The Nutnfancy Project 2d Too underpowered. If carrying a centerfire revolver, .30 Spcl +P would be my minimum. Now for undercover carry, the .22 MAg NAAs will get it done. Guy Actual 2d I'm right there with you on Killing. Had to kill a poisonous snake in our front yard just two days ago (Water Moccasin). And I know that snakes are damned to bruise the ankle of man, and such... but I still hate killing a lifeform that just doesn't know better. I have children, neighbors have pets, and the lady next door came home about 2 min after I dispatched it from the earth. She would have had a bad night most likely. The Nutnfancy Project 2d "...but I still hate killing a lifeform that just doesn't know better. " That seems like you Guy, a principaled varmint hunter. Indeed if they are not causing big probs like these critters they are free to live around us. 2 Derek W Tiller 2d That skunk never knew what hit it! The Nutnfancy Project 2d No suffering at all 2 The Late Boy Scout 2d Dude! I need a thermal! 1 The Nutnfancy Project 2d Yes you do 2 Aceman1126 2d Foxes are one of my favorite animals of all and I'm glad you are watching over them. Seems like the gear worked pretty good and you learned a lot about employment of said gear. Win win in my book. Thanks for sharing and as always thanks for the hard work that goes into the project! 1 The Nutnfancy Project 2d Thank you Ace and you bet 1 Dean 2d They both eat turkey poults. The Nutnfancy Project 2d Yep they do kawicheater 2d Sorry it came to killing the skunk in this case. That would have been great to watch the kits grow. Thanks for the humane kill. If you would like to watch some kits there is a great channel called ‘Save A Fox’. They rescue fur farm foxes etc and find them propper forever homes. High recommend for your fox watching fix. You and Save A Fox are my only Patreon donations. The Nutnfancy Project 2d Really cool you support them, foxes are awesome and always under attack it seems. Even in captivity they don't live that long. There's some good owners that take care of them and build habitats for them. 1 Lance L Black 2d I don't hesitate on taking out skunks in our area, rabies carrier and they repopulate quickly. Plenty of skunks, even 60 miles from Austin! Bernal 2d Skunk's gotta do what a Skunk's gotta do. Nutnfancy gotta do what he gotta do! Unlock codes, got it👍 Jonathon Palmieri 2d LOL! I love the kill marks on the ground squirrel Ruger American. maxmfs 2d That’s a design flaw on the Rattler. In addition to a raised guard/cover, every powered optic should have a time delay power switch, e.g., press and hold for three seconds to power on, press and hold to power off, etc. Michael B warner 2d I didn't know that skunks were predatory I always thought they were scavengers like possums and coon's. That's interesting learn something new everyday I'm with you with killing things although I am a annual deer hunter. I don't like killing things unless it's a last resort. I have an active death warrant out on red squirrel's specifically. They are incredibly destructive they chew holes in my barns and last winter chewed a hole in my boat cover. They got inside it and completely destroyed the interior of my Bass boat just chewed everything. It cost me almost a grand to fix everything so we're on a shoot on site basis. I have also employed traps as well although traps are only effective about 20% of the time however. My 10/22 has been getting the job done for me pretty well!!! Nate Berglund 2d That Colt is beautiful! I still haven't pulled the trigger on a thermal yet. After seeing this, I just might get one soon. sammy marchand 2d First shot was definitely a miss but the kill was clean and humane. I’ve shot 5-6 skunks with a PVS-14 & IR laser setup on a .22lr pistol and even on pellet and BB rifles. They can definitely be pests. 1 Mattimus 1d Great content here with pou and mc topics to flesh it out. More please:) Colostomybag 1d Honestly I've only killed one Deer. Felt kinda bad afterwards, it did taste pretty damn awesome though. Glad I know how to field dress one but I don't plan on doing that again. That being said I'm planning on getting nv before I get thermal. It seems to me that thermal is for observation and nv is for shooting. Bryan Hufstedler 11h Peppy had it coming! Loved the video. David Eslamizar 7h I have rats around my place. One day I shot a few with a BB gun (pest control) and I felt bad but moved on. Several days later I did more pest control and I ended up shooting a baby rat and it didn’t die right away and it suffered and I heard it before I finished it off. I love animals and the sounds are still stuck in my head, of the suffering rat. I have not been able to nor do I have the desire to do that again. Maybe I’m a puss or maybe I just care more than I should. Christopher B. 5h Grizzly... Have you considered a good ratting terrier? Lots of good videos of those dogs getting work done. Rob Miller 4h XLNT video and lesson. Anyone who has hunted game will likely have similar lessons of failure to prepare and practice. I have an endless list of personal blunders afield."

I can't believe someone with your level of attention to detail made so many mistakes. Thank you for your honesty and sharing this. it is time to get "tactically squared away".

You may think this guy is long winded but this 36 minute detailed explanation of experience could save you several days and many dollars.

I had no idea what I was walking into with this video, came out pleasantly surprised

In Kentucky we have what we call ground yellow jackets , if you have ever been mowing grass and pass over a nest they will light you up . I found out skunks will dig up the nests and eat the larva . While I am not a skunk fan they do good things

Lots of nuggets of wisdom in this video! So important to test our POU and our system to have it debugged prior to really needing to rely on it.

My father used to say: "Don't get into a pissin' contest with a skunk."

Love you nutn. I have 2 out of 4 of the hossom blades you reviewed like 10 years ago. I finally have money to buy them but they're hard to find. Hope you know you created a real problem in my life.

What did the fox say?

This needs to be more common for RU-vidrs. Making multi-part content about solving a specific problem.

Pellet gun point blank works for ours.... yours was a crazy saga!! Love hearing TNP tactics and analysis applied to IRL situation, thank you!!!

Sucks about the fox family. Sometimes we just can't have nice things.

My Dad and Grandfather both worked for the US Fish and Wildlife Service in the Dakotas. I was raised on a wildlife refuge and one of the few animals I had permission to kill on sight was a Skunk.

Man: The fox family can stay, that's cool. Skunk: The fox family must go. ::kills fox babies:: Man: This is war.

Ok, I had mentally pictured you all ghillied up in the prone and maybe dozing off while awaiting the shot. lol. Quite clear the Airforce is coming out in you NF.. (alarm sounds, you have to get ready and then respond to the pre planned ambush site?) Come on man! 🤣 Edit: being funny. Love the videos 🫡

Soft point would have taken just one shot. Fmj just zips through with no energy dump, some, but nothing like a soft point.

no milly yet,, dang bro you were my first sub back in like 2009 ish

I can't believe Magic Prepper would trespass like that...

Another good thing about thermal is the greater field of view over a night vision scope.

TNP in action. This 36 minute video as great. Real life testing in action.

The foxes are "all kitted out." Seems like a fun sticker or patch!

I have always admired Nutn' for his moral stance regarding the taking of animal life and human life. I hope the Foxes return. I am English but when I visited Northern California in 2018 I saw racoons, skunk, coyote and some kind of deer.

Great story, and an important philosophy discussion as well.

You should do a whole video on “unlock codes”, and really make an effort to influence people more towards that mentality, rather than the lone wolf, walking dead mentality that has become pervasive.

That was informative. Thanks for the nudge, there are lots of aspects to consider. Maybe, now that the skunk and his odor are gone the foxes will return. Or another set of foxes will use your property in the future.

Message received Thanks

So sorry about your sister. I chatted with her many times back in the day when she would respond to comments.

I’ve followed you for probably you for over 14 years (cleaning your Glock video) but your subscribers number have been stuck at the same level for a really long time!!! I’m assuming you want to grow your channel. If so, how about making real time (RU-vid world @ 1-2 weeks old) on equipment? Also….you’ve become a grumpy old man. Just watch one of your videos from ten years ago and then watch one from the last year. I hope your personal/family life is ok because you don’t sound like a very happy person.

Point taken. Gear ready, area of responsibility, methodology, positive identification…very cool

I have a v2 rattler and fold the lens cap over the power button. It keeps me from accidentally hitting the power button. Works on the ts25-256 & ts19-256

Thank you for letting us in on your thought processes

Great review. Thermal is pretty cool. Still too much money for the average guys budget unfortunately

RIP your sister, sir. I didn’t know about that. I’ve been a follower since 2008 or so and remember her responding to messages.

Good work! Still loving all this stuff. Take care.

I know of a place that has lots of skunks. They are the worst kind of skunks you could imagine. I'm really sick and tired of these skunks, my patience is wearing thin with them.

Skunks are members of the weasel family. They can raise havoc on domestic chickens, ducks, plus anything that lays eggs in your animal husbandry attempts. I've ended a couple that found and continually raided the coop, eating eggs and killing baby chicks and ducklings. The "leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone" policy applies.

Pepe le Pew 0 : Nutn le Pew Pew 1. Clean shots Sir.

Guaranteed the foxes won't come back due to the scent left by ex skunk. Maybe not till after a few hard rains I guess?

Nutn you killed him with the first shot. And the 5.56 went right through him only because he was so small.

One thing that helpful with thermal, you know you got a hit, with that warm blood splash, on cold dirt.

Awwww, I didn't know your sister is gone :( Damn that's hard to identify with the digital.

Skunk sitting in that trap in the sun will die from heat in a few hours during the day

A Nutnfancy revenge story 😂

I’m not sure if you have chosen that lipstick shade on purpose but it does kind of give away your position

A V-Max would have given you a much more dramatic terminal effect.

reminds me of that famous Joe McCarthy speech 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I video about a skunk that wasn't about a skunk. :)

I never knew that about skunks. Thanks for the info.

Hearing you say fucker startled me. Love the video

Ballot box and soap box first, cartridge box as a last resort when no other way is present

Do you still sell tnp knives? Seen patches hats n shirts but no blades

You are definitely a city slicker dude. I thought you were a country boy for so long…had me fooled. If you were a real prepper,(country boy) then you would know that you must kill any and all predators near you and your “livestock”. City slickers don’t even know what are predators and what aren’t. Country folk are merely protecting their livestock and property. However, you are admitting your mistakes…and learning. And you admit this. Bravo Zulu to you. You can admit you are wrong, change your mind, and the way you work a solution to problems! This is what we call the spiritual Way, because this is the same thing we do as Christians. Most country folk are Christians in case you didn’t know…especially here in America. God bless you Nutnfancy. Keep up the good work! You just showed everyone the Glory of God without even realizing it! 🤠🙏

Remote detonation , Total Caddyshack....

Did you say you were doing a cam set up video? 🤞🏽

Did you say you were doing a cam system video? 🤞🏻

So has the fox family come back yet?

Alternate video title, 'Naked Fingers'.

Thanks for making this video, good job

The fox are awesome Critters. I have a family near my house and the Kitts will steal my dogs toys and they actually play with the dogs toys at night

Skunk had to go. You’re a braver man than I to consider messing with a trapped skunk! I come across skunks often while hunting, my buddies dog even got sprayed a few years ago. I gotta say though, FMJ? There is a HUGE difference in lethality between a fmj and a vmax, ballistic tip or TNT hollow point! Use whatever you want but I think you would be surprised what that “Pee shooter” is capable of with expanding bullets.

Thank you for another great review with your captivating no frills humorous delivery! If any follow up skunks show up, it would be kool to see you use the new Rock River Arms AR-15 in .17HMR to dispatch it

With the proper permit from IF&G, quality thermals with suppressors are changing the game in wolf management in Idaho. Don't underestimate the capabilities of an experienced thermal hunter in the field during an airsoft confrontation - particularly those equipped with an AGM Fuzion monocular. You boys just running just night vision are DRT.

IrayUSA is where it’s at. Have a problem, call and an American dude who knows his stuff is right there. 5 year warranty. Awesome awesome thermals.

Great vid nutn. Any chance you can review some other thermal brands? I’ve heard good things about pulsar but I’m still learning a lot about thermals. Thanks for the great reviews and POU vids.

Awsome vid nutnfancy!

Great video Nut'n, stellar content as usual...can we expect to a skunk skin cap in the future?

Great video Nutn! Unfortunately the skunk had to go, I feel the same way about animals as you. Another great lesson for the air soft community!

Thermal is the future.

As soon as you started speaking about the fox kids in the conditional grammatical form, I said “oh, no”.

I like my Christianson arms 22, with a infrared scope, does a fine job of varmint Killin, tipped with a Q erector, sweet rig, and very light

I shoot 77 an 75 grn almost exclusively, going to light stuff is absolutely a huge zero shift, if ur used to precise shooting ull know right away, this is different, even recoil is waay more, neither is of course much at sll but theres a clear difference between the two

I've been eagerly awaiting the details of what happened to the skunk ever since the video when you brought it up. Glad we have closure :)

I thought you lived in Utah and that raccoons were evasive there I miss quite a bit of content I spent almost a year and a half in the hospital just curious sir but still it's good to be back watching the channel in the past I've always asked you about Mrs nutnfancy it was good to see her in that last garden video as always keep up the great work brother

I was just training with my RH25 clip on tonight. Thermal is the real deal. I can hit a torso target at 400 yards on 6power.

I think the first shot went through the neck, but I doubt he really felt any of that. He was pretty clearly stunned by the first shot. Didn't even turn around to bite it.

Great Video ! Had a skunk walking toward me and I said "NO !" and the skunk did a 180 and walked away ! Also the Coyotes would visit the fields for a snack ! Hope the deer hunters do not mistake your yellow shirt for a deer ! tjl

excellent video sir. please fok what others think who cares if it takes you time to make a video and only one person watches it. that's awesome. move along at ur pace and keep them coming Nutn.

I missed the news about your fox friends previously. It is sad to hear. Good video about lessons learned in the field.

How did you warm those targets in the range shot?

This was an enlightening video. Thank you Sir.

EdGun Leshy ... great content about the same. I see you never watched Pe'pe LePew?

I would have hot melt a sliver of plastic between the power and the record button. Then you have a tactile gate between the two buttons. Thanks for the message.

Please do a video on the cameras you are using, that would be really helpful information.

Thanks Nutn. Great job. Good info. God bless. Happy trails.

Really enjoyed this one. All the false starts and mistakes are just part of hunting.

I wonder how skunks do indoors? My place smells, I need to freshen it up!

I’d like to see you review the Arken zulus night vision scope.

You, are protector, a guardian

Nice shirt Nut’n

Nuttin your a good guy..I love your content,you are a benefit to mankind

Yo who stole your neck bro😂

I think the hit makes the kill, theres a spot when hit, that bastard doesnt spray its bad smell

More content on thermal. Extremely interesting product line

I have also found foxes and skunks living together in the same den. Skunks are members of the weasel family

VENTILATED

This is one of my favorite videos from you Nutn. Loved it !

Lockheed not happy

We gonna see more of that Gold Cup?

I wish I had a nice thermal system or a digitalnv. I have raccoons harass my chickens at night and that would be BALLER.
