My Dad was the shepherd on an estate in Devon, and when we checked the ewes one night, this ewe with twins, was fighting off 6 of the buggers, cracking video, keep them coming 🤓
Great video Steve, that first one you shot had a bit of a dodgy back leg but you done it a big favour mate. And that fox at the end wanting them lambs , it must of been hungry to be doing that but fair play Steve you had the bugger . Well done. 👍
Great job, im an Irish sheep fatmer and know the distress of having lambs snatched by foxes, it takes time and patience on behalf of the shootet, congrats, humañe job done
Brother, in 30 odd years of shooting I have never seen such a crazy video. I've used nv for years now, seen a few things, but that was amazing . I'm using the Apex 4k ,great bit of gear also on a death grip. More vids , stay safe.
That was ace!! Ive been keeping an eye on my father in laws ewes and lambs recently now theyre out in the fields but not been any fox showing yet. Almost waiting to catch something like that in my scope though. Certainly had quite a few though in the area over the last few months so on top of it i guess. Thats a beauty bit if footage though!!
Why didn't you wait for the fox to give the lambs a kiss on the lips mate. Crikie, the shot was there and you just stand by wait for the fox to pounce. Crikie.
What range is most of these shots take n? Want to buy a thermal scope but budget is tight but if i purchase a NV scope and IR light i need to be able to have adequate sight picture to take up to 250 metre + shots on foxes.
To be fair he captured video footage that no one else got,as a shooter my self,I know this guy could have dropped the fox at any moment and the lambs were well protected Only for this fottage, most people think of foxes as cuddly harmless animals and of no danger to farmers, this video footage proves different
I’ guessing you are using some licence restricted firearm by the sound (I don’t have much clue so excuse my ty pe tools I would need for efficacy and ideally ) I was thinking of getting a pellet rifle and scope to manage rodents on my allotment any suggestions for the best for a clean despatched - much appreciated from Neath
I would go for a second hand pcp or a good quality springer air rifle if you didn't want to pump it up,and a second hand scope if your only plinking out a allotment, probably go to your local gun shop and they will have a cheap setup for your needs.
