An outstanding effort Rod. The farm was absolutely infested with foxes. That Infiray is certainly an excellent bit of kit. Thanks for making the effort to produce another great video.
To be fair, if you consider the amount of invasive mice and rats in this country, especially in the proximity of fields and farms, I am pretty sure it won't be as many as you might think, since those are by far their dominant prey.
Hilarious 😂... You capped that itchy fox and I said out loud, "scratch that" - & then you said, "scratch that." hahahaha. I wish you could teach me to do what you do but I'm an indentured servant to the state of California for at least the next few years. I just found your channel and will now commence to binge watching and Liking 👍🏻 every video. God Bless and keep up the good work. - Mikey
If people hit the deck when you say GA DAY don't take it personally.😆 Brilliant exhibition of a true professional at work. Loved going along with you on that adventure. The high end optic just made it great viewing but we know you don't need it to get it done.
@@RJMHuntingAustralia Hi Rod, my max range was 345 meters using a Sauer 404 in .223 with Geco Express factory ammo and a Pulsar thermion XQ38 scope on top.
This is a marathon effort and must assuredly qualify for a Guinness World Record! Fabulous video footage and excellent marksmanship. Can’t wait for more
Well Rod, I would have to say this is your best production to date. A win for the viewer, a win for yourself ( they certainly look like Victorian foxes / scalp’s from my house ) and a huge win for the environment. Love ya work. Cheers
Awesome video Mate.. What a great life out in the Aussie country everyday.... Probley abit more interesting than my warehouse job in the city. Keep the vids rolling👍👍👍
Great video. I think gee that is clear what sort of thermal.....$23K !!!.......at 6.48 you can actually see the soul of the fox float off so I guess its worth it.
Great work Rod, whoa 27 foxes. You must be happy with that. I am certain the farmer will be pleased. I reckon you'll be back there soon. Watching those foxes drop like tenpins is just brilliant.
Your the man Rod, another meticulous hunt, your one hell of a fastidious man ( couldn't help but notice how clean your cruiser bullbar was) man after my own heart. Great video, yet again
Absolutely awesome shooting and footage. Shows how great the .223 is at long distance with that last shot. Making me very keen to get started into using thermal in the future, I'll start with a monocular and red light on the scope. Been following more after listening to to your chat on AHP podcast from a year ago. Love ya work 👍
I sure wish we would have had thermal or night vision scopes and spotters 50 or so years ago when I had free farm range to roam. It was all spot lights back then, but was just as much fun. Great shooting, and Cheers from Texas.
Mate awesome clean up. I know what it's like to lose your chooks just before they're ready for processing. I had one get into the finishing night shed for my free range meat chickens back on my old property years back and just went on a killing frenzy just because it could. All up I lost 110 out of just under 800, was a big kick in the guts and put a big dent in the return. Cheers Rod👍🏽
Interesting how the thermal optics display the "grey mist" from head-shots. I don't think I need to see them in "false-colour" thermal imaging. However: Excellent work!!. With all that "raw material", can your friendly local taxidermist set you up with "twin overhead foxtails" for the buggy? (Bob Hudson reference).
Great stuff. Just as well the pelts are not worth $50 anymore, you would be there for longer skinning them. A mate used to use compressed air back in the day . Secret was the 17 Hornet front on if possible so no big exit wound .
Made it up from several components found in my mates workshop. A company is sending me a new one to try. Once I get it I'll put all the info in a video providing it works well. It will have the ability to switch from white to red. Sounds like a winner
@@RJMHuntingAustralia yep so true back in Dalby area. Moolah got 3 silver foxes 🦊 SLR DAY'S. Miss the semi action day's lol 😂. Love ya work man it is spot on.
Another great video Rod I love your little red light I’ve been looking for one like that for ages If you don’t mind could you tell me the name of that product and possibly a part number and where you brought it from I do a lot of night shooting also and use a little white light on the bull bar I can turn on from inside and I can turn all my lights off too and have the light pointed at the ground just in front of me but I’ve often thought a red or orange would be better around light shy animals Cheers for sharing your videos and experience
Thanks for that mate. My light is just a standard white one with a red lens cover I found and zip ties it to it. I bolted a magnet to the base and happy days. Try some red cellophane or some thin red plastic mate.
Enjoy! Enjoy! It was bloody terrific Rod. More power to you for the great job you do for not only the farmers but all native animals that those pests would’ve had the chance to kill. Shame there wasn’t a dozen cats two, but I’m being greedy now. 👍🏻
27 on 900, I wonder how much you helped the surrounding area as well since many of the younger foxes are probably kicked out of the area of the chuuk sheds by the bigger ones.
@@RJMHuntingAustralia I'm pleased your reputation is bolstered by the recognition of your efforts. Short grass helped you too, so it came together well. You'll be able to afford the 23 gorillas for that scope in a jiffy at this rate. Rest of us just have to wait until the price inevitably comes down once they're produced in numbers.
385 metre kill shot sure took a steady pair of hands to execute . Love your channel and Nathan Stuart’s. Top shot 👍
Thanks heaps mate.
Appreciate it 👊
I looked that one up for Imperial units 385 m = a whopping 1,263.12 feet! A quarter of a mile.
@fgb3126 yeah, I was pretty chuffed 😀
That scope is so good you can see the sole drift away in the breeze
Not quite but almost. 😎
An outstanding effort Rod. The farm was absolutely infested with foxes. That Infiray is certainly an excellent bit of kit. Thanks for making the effort to produce another great video.
No worries mate. Thanks for watching
Just revisiting some of your past videos Rod and loving them. Great work as always, thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
27 foxes! Imagine how many native animals that lot would have killed over their lifetimes if you hadn't got them.
To be fair, if you consider the amount of invasive mice and rats in this country, especially in the proximity of fields and farms, I am pretty sure it won't be as many as you might think, since those are by far their dominant prey.
Regardless, they take their toll and Australian natives and young livestock.
So you justify this only because of what they hunt...? If you want to think about what humans do...

Your doing a great job !!!!
Thanks Allan 👊
Great shooting tex impressive numbers on the foxes . Looked like a lot of fun . Keep up the great content

Cheers mate.
Be back down there in a couple of weeks to clean up what's left.
Nice one Rod a cracking night, also i know what damage just one fox can do here on our moors so 27 i dread to think and nice shooting to pal.
Thanks buddy, the chickens are a magnet for foxes. I'd say it will be an ongoing control program
Essence upload mate! That is some tally of foxes. Great to see them getting hammered!😎
Thanks Jim. Action packed night for sure.
Never tire of your vid’s Rod! Always entertaining 👍

Wow what a night. Good stuff.
Thanks bud 👍
If you look closely @3:47 you can see his spirit walking away 😇
27 foxes in one night! Fantastic effort!! :) Most we ever got was 12 and we had a lot of people banging the bushes and about 10 or so shooters!
Surprised me a bit too mate. Was a cracking night especially flying solo.
Massive ! 28 foxes in 9 hours 😱well done, I think you did a record with it 🙏
Certainly was a very hectic night mate. 👌
Nice shooting with the 223 hits them hard must be a big load keep em coming
Just a standard factory load mate. Does the job well. 👊
epic shot that last one, not sure i would attempt that range, good work
Appreciate that, thanks mate 👊

All up I lost 110 out of just under 800, was a big kick in the guts and put a big dent in the return. Cheers Rod👍🏽
That must have cost you a but mate. Not uncommon for a fox to kill every chook in the pen if they find a way in. 🤦♂️
Most amazing fox shooting I've ever seen. Great work mate,
Thankyou 👊 👊
Awesome footage mate some wicked shots you made
Was a great night mate. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👊
385 not a bad shot mate, not bad at all.. I'm certain the chook farmer is stoked by the deceased foxes mate. Nicely done.
He was thrilled mate.
out standing ...... Great job

Appreciate it Craig. 👊
Verrrry nice long range shot that last one!👍🏼

@@RJMHuntingAustralia my personal best was a roo with a 22-250 on a bipod uphill at 330 yards. Smack bang centre back of the noggin.

These foxes are pretty cunning. Once they find a way in they're relentless.
