Thoroughly enjoyable video Rod. Those foxes are a real menace on new lambs. Glad you were able to do control them. Your .223 - Panther combo works a treat. Great stuff!
Bloody gobsmacked how many of them you have over there. When you think of the damage just one of them will do in a lambing park that's some saving in one night's shooting. Another great video mate.
@@RJMHuntingAustralia I had a wee Google about it and 'we' introduced them into your country for sport...!!! Unbelievable when you look back at that with hindsight. Even over here you wonder where they all keep coming from. They're amazing survivors.
I live in Gippsland on a milk farming property. I’m sure you know that what you do in keeping fox numbers down is greatly appreciated, but something that is rarely thought about is the actual damage that they can do to livestock. They will literally eat the soft hooves of a calf as it is being born, that is coming out of the mother. They will kill all the chickens in a coop and not eat one. Hard as I might I cannot keep their numbers down. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you do. I would dearly love to come along with you one night!
Yes. I've seen all that and more mate, not to mention also spreading diseases like neospora . Terrible bloody things. Really appreciate the kind words David. Thankyou 👊
Good to see you making a big impact on the fox numbers. That many tells me they are almost at plague proportions. I always thought getting three or four a night was a great result, but man . . . Blessings from the Central West NSW.
as someone who came off the land this never gets old completely satisfying to see your work I tell you what that Fox looks like it's crossed with a dog almost can't believe the size of it ❤👁👃👁
I remember everyone lobbing into the local gun shop on a Monday morning to sell their Fox furs to the fur buyers. After a while you had troubles finding foxes but the furs where put to good use. Now because some inner city latte sipping flips had a sook a great resource has gone to waste. Now their trying to ban leather. How about we ban those that complain?
Great work getting rid of these abominations, I'm into my 60's now but grew up on a farm in the western district of Victoria where the foxes were out of control in the 70' & 80's. My mate and myself were burning the candle at both ends as 15, 16 year olds shooting foxes at night and going to school next morning. Different times, in those days before the do gooders banned fox fur we were getting between $20-$30 for a good grey pelt and $40 for a red. We made great money and made the farmers happy until the do gooders banned fox fur. I managed to buy a top custom made Sako 220 swift and my mate a custom mate Sako 223. We also bought all the reloading gear neccessary. Of course we only used spotlights and whistles in those days. Have your gear then would have made us rich and gamers very profitable.
The fox is an evil creature, unlike most predators that kill for food, a fox will kill for pleasure, so in times of abundance during lambing season they kill new born lambs and only take the the heart and tail for some reason. We had seen 30 - 40 lambs lost in a single night, just heart breaking for a farmer that truly cares for his animals. So for any do gooders out there, get out in the rain and cold in June and July with a sheep farmer and witness the fox carnage first hand,
Feral bastards of things the foxs my old boss shot 6 in a row drop one wait a bit whistle and another would show up to this carcass. Great work love your work
Hi, Rod. Haven’t been able to watch your videos for a while as I’ve been so busy but it’s great to see you enjoying getting out and about. If you’re ever in Japan please give me a shout. All the best!
Legendary stuff mate. Thanks for getting me into the habit! 😅 Been using thermal with a 17 HMR for my job out on ADL airport. 61 foxes so far on the airfield this year!
Nice mate way to clean them up great shooting as always many lambs thank you and I’m sure the farmers are more than happy with your efforts cheers mate keep it up
I think I can almost match you shot for shot. I’m old, but I’m dedicated. I’ll supply my own gear and will work for free! Your work is impressive and necessary! Shoot big! Miss small. Love your channel.
In my experience, guardian animals are pretty hit and miss. Some do a great job while others are absolutely useless. They're an expensive deterrent when they they don't work.
Austrailia seems to be the perfect environment for invasives... I live in Texas & we certainly have our issues with invasives . Pigs top the list ... Its estimated Texas alone has over 1 million ferral pigs . And most of those are in the eastern half of the state.. But, ranchers in west Texas have their issues too.. Its guys like you that trim the numbers of invasives, but I think they're always going to be a threat to crops & livestock.
G'day mate. Love your set up. So no shooting from the back of the ute? The rifle and scope is an amazing bit of gear. Gone are the days of having just a plain scope and guessing how far way they are. What is the projectile your using and do you load your own?
In Adelaide, every morning I'd have my coffee at the drop off of our property (10 Acres). We had 2 Red Fox that would come and watch the sunrise and then leave. They never worried the horses nor did they go after the ducks or our goat but I sat with a .22 just in case. They would sit about 20-30mts in front of me facing away yet they knew I was there until one day they stopped coming.
Howdy from west Texas! It's an absolute damn shame that fox pelts don't bring anything. Back in the 70s and 80s the local boys could drum up some decent scratch hunting these boogers. Same with coyote, raccoon and bobcat. The Progressive tit-babies have ruined such things. Keep on keepin on man and protect the flocks!
I've been watching for a while I love the content you're obviously a professional looks like you're a hell of a shot where are all the foxes coming from
As I told you before you are an outstanding marksman, just think your videos are great. Also you should have shown the dead lamb so the do the bleeding heart who loves the feral pest what they do.

Last thing you want to hear in a paddock in the middle of the night is “G’day”.
Only if you've got a bushy red tail mate. 😉
Hey buddy can you please tell me your name? Just in case I hear g’day. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've used G'Day a few times while bagging coyotes in the states and it cracks me up every time I drop one!
Yeah, yer bowels would deffo evacuate 🤣
Haha, video please or it didn't happen 😅
I've been waking up at night in a sweat after having dreams of walking through a paddock and then suddenly hearing, "G'Day"!
Haha. Just make sure you answer back mate. 🤣
@@RJMHuntingAustralia "Don't shoot! Don't Shoot!"

Love these videos, you sir, have an unerring eye for disposing these predators.
Some of the shots are tremendous.
Great work.
Thanks champion 👊
19 & 14 ! That’s taking out a lot of lamb killers. Good shooting as usual. Loved the triple.
Haha. So did I mate.
Thanks 👊
Nice work Rod. Some cracking shots and more lamb chops for us. cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it mate 👍
Every time I hear G'day now I duck, thanks Rod. Job well done cobber.🤠

My pleasure mate 👍

Hard to believe that a handful of foxes introduced in 1855 for recreational hunting has turned into what it is now. 🤷♂️

Generally higher numbers on these bigger properties especially around lambing time.
Nothing wrong with getting 3 or 4 mate. 👌

Just love how some of them just flop over with legs sticking up in the air.😂 Great shooting!
Instant lights out. Just the way I like it. 👌

Thanks mate. Appreciate the offer 👊
How do they have any lambs left with the number of foxes in that area? Lousy with them. Love it when the fur flies. G'day! Boom. Never gets old.
Makes you wonder ay. Always an ongoing battle mate
Great shooting as always, love your work 🍻
Thank you mate 👊

Much appreciated mate. Thankyou 👊
The money back in the 80s for fox skins makes this shooting think of what could havs been
Absolutely mate. How things have changed 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Was great times, used to pay for fuel,food & ammo.
Good mate of mine bought his first car with the money he made selling fox pelts
Nice mate way to clean them up great shooting as always many lambs thank you and I’m sure the farmers are more than happy with your efforts cheers mate keep it up
Thanks Michael 👊
Great work!👍

Nice work on the red skins from here in the UK 🇬🇧 keep the vids coming mate 🦊💥👍
Will do mate. Thankyou 👊
The lamb owner needs your help because they eat the lambs which the lamb owes lively hood
They're farming them mate. That's how they generate an income.
@@RJMHuntingAustralia yes👍😎
Excellent shooting Rodney, especially the triple, I've tried the Gday, to stop a fox, but the bugger just legged it fast 🤓🦊

Must be in the delivery 😉
On the money 👌 great work 👍

Thanks mate, will do! 👊
doing a great job keep on shooting
