Hi, My sentiments entirely sincerely Simon You are a great ambassador for our sport and nature welfare in particular.!! Keep up the good work, stay safe and mind how you go¡ Cheers Ian J 😉😉🏴🏴
Nice shot on the first one. I know what you mean about being out. Our deer bow hunting season starts here in Michigan October 1st, can't wait to get out and enjoy Mother Nature. Two for two. The Scottish Master Sniper strikes again. 👍
Great video Simon and excellent shooting on the 2 fox . It's great seeing the respect that you have for the fox. And that is a great photo of Jack and the fox statue. Cheers brother
Good morning Simon many thanks for replying back to my message 😇 ,, it's true there are so many good air guns out there ,, but l've been told air guns that come from the country of Germany 🇩🇪 are good as well ,, l don't mind spending a little bit of money on an air gun ,, but not to much as ,, as long as its a good gun ,, I've got a bit of a rodent rat problem ..... Your videos are great ,, once again thanks simon for having the time to reply back to me ,,, all the best simon ,, keep safe 😇...... Glen
The rabbits look just like the ones that come into my yard. They must be related! 🙂 That is some pretty nice equipment. Makes me jealous. Thanks for sharing another fine video.
You are the man for humane removal of problems for the farms . Great work my friend. In my travels someday I would like to meet you in person. Stay safe and I love your perseverance and integrity
You make it look so easy, Si! Nice to hear Mr & Mrs Barn Owl calling over the fields too. With you on the hares as well. When I used to rough shoot, I pulled a shot on a hare many times. I preferred to watch them instead.
I think im not the only mug out doing this Simon when I watch your videos. I have a heap of newborn lambs here. Watching a ewe try mother a fox killed lamb gets me out with the Sako. Im getting more settled with the night vision scope and thermal. Put a big dog fox down behind the ear in the long grass of my lambing paddock other night. Cleaning up a few. Thanks for your video nice to see a different season in another part of the world.
Great video bud keep them coming. There is something about the peace and quiet when you're out and about. If you get a fox or 2 that's a bonus. Steady shooting and both out like a light. Stay safe
Hi Simon from the Catskills, to of the longest shots I made was with Pops 222 on foxes they we’re taking our free range birds. My younger brother went soft on some raccoons we paid for it later. Pop wasn’t happy. I believe as a good steward of the land our animals are trusting in us. Well done
HI Simon, Well done! I enjoy these outdoor adventures. Very beautiful opening shot on this vid! please say more about the fox problems this farmer is experiencing. Also, what becomes of the fur and meat from these foxes. Thank You Simon. Dave in the USA
Nice video again Simon playing the waiting game and paying off with 2 great shots. Loved the picture at the end with your bestie ❤. Keep up the great work 👍
just updated my foxpro from my 10 year old Spitfire to a Patriot. Seems an improvement but just a little more volume would have been nice. I usually call through the day and hit the mute button to try get a little control over them barging in. Had a thermal for a while now but yet to use the foxpro that much at night yet so once it warms up a bit here in Australia I will mix it in . Enjoy your vids thank you
Hi Simon, Could you tell me why some shooters take out Hares ? As a shooter myself I don’t understand it, they don’t do the damage rabbits do and they bred very slowly in comparison. Ps I got some Sierra 69 grains and my Anschultz loves them with RS40 2830 fps. Haven’t matched your 100m groups yet though. Keep up the good work protecting those moorland birds 👍🏻
Ye pal over here hares are still classed as game and can legally be shot in the day at the right time of year i am 99% mind ya as the law changes that much but i just don't shoot them personally as i used to watch them as a boy when there just wasn't as many about and have always enjoyed seeing them, in my next vid on soon Hartley my mate is literally 10 feet off me in the day and just knows i am no threat to him.
Another great vid Simon. On a more important note, how's your old mate going? Love it when he comes out with you. Even tho he's getting old, he just loves being with you. Cheers.
I'm sure I join all the others here on your channel when I say that we are all wishing him a long life. Simon without Jack is unthinkable!@@simon6ppc246
Hi. Are you part of a Curlew conservation project? Would be really interested to see the success/evidence of the importance of good keepering/predator control for a Curlew project I’m involved with.
Really enjoy and look forward to your videos. Haven`t shot night vision or thermals before. Are you able to range and dial elevation or are you choosing a zero distance and using hold offs?
As usual, nice video and a neat job. It’s a long time I dont see you using the 243 sako in the show. Do you completely cover that kind of shooting with the 6ppc?
Lol... not sure we're thinking the same thing here, so I'll clarify. Have you ever seen the film, 'Predator'? If not, then go have a listen to the sound the 'Predator' makes. It's uncanny timing, same noise and just at the time of the kill! I'd be checking behind the bales next time.
Hi there our simon brilliantbjobbdun lvly👍👍and clean 2problum foxs down world class my friend ngt picher fantastic amazing how you can read it simon that is some lvly shooting 👍👍untill next time my friend please stay👍👍safe for us all give our jack big hug lv out to you and family god🙏bless bro and happy pestcontrol my friend 👏😁
Great as usual Simon, can I ask you what volume is not too much, or too little for the caller, I know this is a tough one, but any advice would be appreciated! Thanks Simon!
No problem Tommy i never blast it out full volume as don't forget foxes they say have 200x better hearing than us also don't play it to long, that night i used mine 3 times in 4 hours and twice it worked.
Two things I noticed straight off in your video as a farmer standing on wrapped bales is a no no and walking past a sheep with it head through fence if it’s stuck or not you would have thought you might have knocked it back . But otherwise good video’s
I will say this on a positive comment, as soon as i put the camera off i went to the sheep and it backed away with its head nice and free, also i have shot off round bales for years and never ripped one but if i had i would tape up the patch with the tape the farmers use if they ever rip a bale so no harm at all done my friend. but i understand that some folk have to find fault or look on the negative side of life.,
Bales are usually quite comfortable to spend and few hours on so long as dew stays off👍. Finally got my R-12 air rifle in Fac format. Squirrel population will decline around the farm from now on.
Honesty, integrity, humane and professional. An animal lover protecting the environment.
Thank you my friend very very much appreciated.

It’s the little things I like to see in your videos. This one shows how people should climb over farm gates, close to the hinges
Too right pal.

Thanks Hatter 98
Get your pyjamas and slippers on. Ambulance is on it's way for you. Won't be long . Hospital bed booked 😢
Mr ivor fixed my drone so no more getting stripped for bits 😊 and you right nothing compares to the drone distance and clarity
You make it look so easy, Si! Nice to hear Mr & Mrs Barn Owl calling over the fields too. With you on the hares as well. When I used to rough shoot, I pulled a shot on a hare many times. I preferred to watch them instead.
Ye too right pal and thanks
Nice work simon on the red skins mate 🦊🦊💥👍
Cheers pal.
Good job done Simon and nice clear footage from the drone Pro 👍
Thanks Jim ye it does take some beating to be honest.
I think im not the only mug out doing this Simon when I watch your videos. I have a heap of newborn lambs here. Watching a ewe try mother a fox killed lamb gets me out with the Sako.

Two nice shots there Simon keep them coming 👍
Thanks Russ
Good shooting Simon really enjoyed the video cheers mate 👍
Thanks David
Good shooting Simon. That footage from that Drone Pro is exceptional. Greetings from Oz.
Cheers mate
Good man Simon, wouldn't want to be Bassil Brush in your neck of the woods 👍
Well no John folk often say this.
Great shooting. My local foxes seem indifferent to a fox pro caller.
Mine can be the same pal i just got kind of lucky that night
I was lucky too the other evening. I don't like those close ones either, but when needs must.@@simon6ppc246
Top shooting as always
Thank you.
Hello Simon,
Good shooting as usual
Cheers pal.

Nice one Simon. I recognise the skyline.
Shush lol.

@@simon6ppc246 One of our donkeys got a fox last week. We have four that are with our sheep. Best guards out there , along with the geese.

Hi Simon, Could you tell me why some shooters take out Hares ?
As a shooter myself I don’t understand it, they don’t do the damage rabbits do and they bred very slowly in comparison.
Ps I got some Sierra 69 grains and my Anschultz loves them with RS40 2830 fps. Haven’t matched your 100m groups yet though.
Keep up the good work protecting those moorland birds 👍🏻
Ye pal over here hares are still classed as game and can legally be shot in the day at the right time of year i am 99% mind ya as the law changes that much but i just don't shoot them personally as i used to watch them as a boy when there just wasn't as many about and have always enjoyed seeing them, in my next vid on soon Hartley my mate is literally 10 feet off me in the day and just knows i am no threat to him.
Nice one Simon 👍🏼
Thanks Paul.
The drone pro is still king of the hill when it comes to digital NV imo....never part with mine..it lives on top of my .22BR
Nice one Nigel ye it be deadly on a BR.
Well done Simon! I miss Jack!!
Thanks Dirk he be back soon
Another great vid Simon. On a more important note, how's your old mate going? Love it when he comes out with you. Even tho he's getting old, he just loves being with you. Cheers.
Thanks Tim, ye he's ok getting stiff mind ya but fine pal.

Hi. Are you part of a Curlew conservation project? Would be really interested to see the success/evidence of the importance of good keepering/predator control for a Curlew project I’m involved with.
No i am not to be honest pal but i do pest control for most of the moorlands where i live👌👍
Cracking video very clean shoots
Thank you.
Excellent shooting Si. Has to be done mate.
Thanks Dougie.
Really enjoy and look forward to your videos. Haven`t shot night vision or thermals before. Are you able to range and dial elevation or
are you choosing a zero distance and using hold offs?
Thanks pal, i just zero then use hold over for distance to be fair
As usual, nice video and a neat job. It’s a long time I dont see you using the 243 sako in the show. Do you completely cover that kind of shooting with the 6ppc?
Ye pal the 6ppc is my mainly my fox calibre to be fair but i do still use the 243 at times.
Great stuff! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Simon, do you agree on your shooting position(s) beforehand , with your clients? Like sitting on top of the hay bales?
Ye the farmers really really want the foxes shooting pal so they don't bother where i sit to be fair but i never damage the bales either.
@@simon6ppc246 let the professional do his thing. Thank you for answering!
5:18 and 6:31 don't tell me I'm the only one hearing this! 😂 Very subtle Simon.
😂🤣 Ye think it was the round bale bag blowing in the wind but i thought the same as you😂🤣
Lol... not sure we're thinking the same thing here, so I'll clarify.
Have you ever seen the film, 'Predator'? If not, then go have a listen to the sound the 'Predator' makes. It's uncanny timing, same noise and just at the time of the kill!
I'd be checking behind the bales next time.
Nice shooting Si as always, very efficient setup do you hand load for all your calibres.
Thanks Matt ye i do pal
Evening Simon as always another great video I really enjoy your films, quick question which foxpro model do you use regards nick.
Thanks Nick its the fox pro fusion..
Cheers Simon I'll have a look
Great video again. Little windy, but it's the action that I enjoy. How's Jack?
Thanks Pal
Belter vid as always Simon, do you follow Danum Outdoors over in Rotherham? Alan makes some great knives and has a good channel.
Thanks Kev will look pal.
Hi there our simon brilliantbjobbdun lvly👍👍and clean 2problum foxs down world class my friend ngt picher fantastic amazing how you can read it simon that is some lvly shooting 👍👍untill next time my friend please stay👍👍safe for us all give our jack big hug lv out to you and family god🙏bless bro and happy pestcontrol my friend 👏😁
Thank you again Darren you stay safe mate
Nice couple of Basils them, if only they would learn to leave the fowl alone!
Well ye shame really pal
Excellent work. I'm guessing that was the fox cub in distress on the FoxPro, is that a sound you particularly favour this time of year?
Ye it was Ben,, and ye it seems to work for me right up till Christmas then i use the vixen on heat
@@simon6ppc246 that's useful to know, much appreciated 👍
Very nice video as always. What is the name of the music you use as a theme? Cheers
Thanks Eric its called Rolling Hills pal.
@@simon6ppc246 thanks! Really like it
Not bad. Hovis kid...
Heeee thanks again Bob
Nice one Simon what call did you use for the foxes? Great channel 👍
Thanks Chris i used the Cub In Distress pal.
@@simon6ppc246 thanks mate 🦊
As always pal 👍👍👍👍
Thank you.
Class pal
Thanks Dave
Do you or the farmer make use of the fox fur for coats?
No Nick unfortunately
Great as usual Simon, can I ask you what volume is not too much, or too little for the caller, I know this is a tough one, but any advice would be appreciated! Thanks Simon!

I know they have to go but always a bit sad to see the cunning adversary go to the chicken coop in the sky !
Well done! Would you give Jack a scratch for me? Thanks! 👍
I sure will my friend
Looks like the lamb was stuck in the fence
It wasn't Michael i walked up to after and it just walked off
Bales are usually quite comfortable to spend and few hours on so long as dew stays off👍.
Finally got my R-12 air rifle in Fac format. Squirrel population will decline around the farm from now on.
Nice one Phil let me know how you get on with it, and ye bales with ice don't eve go there lol
0:03 Get your fleece, you’ve pulled.
Heeee i love Baaarrrber
Surprised you didn’t help the ewe get her head out the fence!
I didn't have to because she did it her self
👍👍👍
Thanks Big Mac
