Thanks for sharing Simon. I disturbed 3 new born hares getting the tractor out a month ago and then learnt the sheep dog got an adult hare soon after. But just last night I came across something odd with the thermal - three one month old hares drinking milk from mum. Thermal really is a game changer.
I have watched all of your uploads now and must admit that I've become a bit of a ‘backseat-driver’ or that I’m taking the shots for you! I must leave it to the professional and you are a professional! Thanks for the time and effort you put in here mate.
Ye cheers Speed i did it longer just to see the result just usually in my analytics it says when every one turns off and its usually after 10 minutes lol.
Nice one again. Good to hear some of the back story about not so successful nights on the fox. Makes us realise it happens to the best of us. Sometimes on TH-cam it just makes it look like every time someone's out it's a success story but they're just cherry picked moments in reality. Nice job on the rats too!!
Ye 100% pal obviously if i filmed all the blanks i think folk would get sick of watching but ye that one fox no lies took 4 nights and around 12 hours of waiting and calling in total why i didn't take the long shot and waited for an easier one
The slugs certainly sound like they hit harder than the standard pellets Simon. And unless I’m imagining it, there seems to be less kicking around from nerves after they’re down too. Cracking job as always 👍
At approximately 12:08 ish you missed, at 12:11ish you reloaded, eyes on target and fired a perfect kill! Speed, accuracy and patience! Well done Simon!
@@simon6ppc246 I had a great evening out ratting last week, had about 60. Using Pard 007sp lrf, not totally happy with it tbh, very narrow field of view. I’m really impressed with the footage I’ve seen from the Alpex 4k
Another really enjoyable vid and love that their getting longer = more time to enjoy your shooting. I'm conscious that I jibba jabba on a bit in the comments but I just wanted to say that the FX King is growing on me too and I don't even have one.....yet! And also wanted to say thank you as always for sharing mate and all the best to you and Jack.
Hyia Geoff you jibbi jabba as much as you want pal and ye i did this longer on purpose just to see how it performed in the Analytics also hope your well mate 👍
Hi simon, great video on fox and rats. I was wondering, do you skin the foxes and keep the pelts? You probably have enough to get a fox coat made for your wife. Such lovely foxes , i really like the red foxes. We have both red and gray ones, don't see the gray ones often. Take care. 🦊🦊🦊🐭🐭
Great vid simon, i run zans in 25 and 30 fac, i have used the zans since they were first available i relube with imperial sizing die wax.. it closed the groups from ab 2in ,to slug on slug, clean barrel ab 20 fouling shots and that was that, i will.try the 177,s zans in my sub 12 wolverine, with and without lube,. Rgds stevej
Ye Steve in my FX King i tried the Zans and they shoot very well but not as good as the H/Ns for some reason the H/Ns on paper almost one hole at 50 yards around 950 ftps.
how far from Padi are you Simon I employed a lad from Burnley he told me all about the days of the hares and the number of rabbits about he is now 76 @@simon6ppc246
Hey up Simon, I watched this the other day and forgot to leave a comment and I’ve just realised, I’m going to try some Wildman slugs and see how they shoot in the HW100kt and a couple of others as he only lives not far from here and I’ve heard some good reports about them. I was out the other night foe two hours and only saw one rat in all that time, a tad boring really.
Well it happens Piper i don't always shoot loads in fact i have more bad nights than good nights just i film the good nights as the bad ones would be boring lol.
Ye i use the Dirty Bird jacket and they are good just the latest model which i have has very small pockets which need to be back like they used to be other wise a top jacket.
Simon, absolutely love all your videos and appreciate all the hard work you put into to them. By the way how is your retired side kick Jack getting on. Hope he's well. I have last month put my dog down and it was bloody heart breaking. Any way sorry about that. Keep up the good work Simon.
Thanks Ken and Jack, ye he is ok but not just as ok as i am writing as he is very old now this last 6 months of his life he has aged like 3 years but seems to be taking no harm.
5:30 Awesome job .. Nice one Simon. Remember that fox I told you about that was being the "Scarlet Pimpernel"... One of the donkeys that was out with Alpacas got it ... Probably wishes it had got shot.

Great video as usual. What times at night are usually best for rats? One of my permissions is teeming with rats during the day which makes me think that after dark must be even busier, but I have been at different times and it’s been absolutely dead. I think the barn owl is making them too scared to come out at night? At another permission which is closer to the suburbs I get followed around the farm by a cat, and I see plenty of others wandering about on the thermal, but that doesn’t seem to deter them coming out.
Hi Simon, another excellent video, I always look forward to seeing your videos. Just a quick question what do you and other rat shooters do with them once you have picked them up? I only really do squirrel, however I would love to get a farm or two here in shropshire. ATB Ken

Just learned about the hole in the lense cap from a mate at northwest guncentre Bolton going to do it myself
Ye it was me that told them lol
It's an old trick I used on a Photon. Turns it into a decent day scope, and flip up the cap for low light.
Super shooting, Simon. Those slugs certainly hit with a good thump. Big Steve.
Ye they seem to Stephen.

Thank you Peter
Brilliant as ever buddy . I use the 10 grain Zan slugs in sub 12 and I agree , they work brilliantly.
Thanks Roger
Fantastic image on the scope you were ratting with, possibly some of the best and clearest NV footage I’ve seen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks pal ye the Alpex is a good scope i honestly think the best for ratting
Great stuff! 👍🏻 😊
Thanks! 🙂
