In episode 18 of our series with Mark Ripley (260RIPS) on S&C TV, Mark is out and trying to catch up with a few foxes in advance of the lambing season...
It's a chilly morning as Mark settles in on the snow-covered hill to scan, but it's not long before he finds his target!
After that, it's out to another couple of farms who have reported unwanted visitors, where Mark makes good use of the Mauser M12 and HikMicro Alpex NV scope...
Enjoy the last foxing episode of the year!

nice to see you doing what your best at ..hunting vids and not thinly disguised adverts and yes i know they bring in the money

@260rips Жыл бұрын

Thanks, although nothing is disguised, gear that is used in the videos is supplied by sponsors mostly and is what pays for the production of the videos. Without them we wouldn’t be able to produce these videos 🤷🏻‍♂️😉

That was a strange sounding rabbit distress call! No wonder you pulled in an Heron it sounded like some kind of crazy flying Dinosaur

@260rips Жыл бұрын

It’s the screaming rabbit distress call and the baby rabbit distress call on the foxpro! I’ve actually called in loads of foxes with these calls 👍

I wonder how many pub stories of ghosts and creatures out in the woods, are just because of a lad out foxing.

I have seen heron's waiting for young rabbits before. Could possibly be hungry as the ponds and rivers are frozen.

Great video as always what night vision scope would you recommend for a 243

@260rips Жыл бұрын

The sightmark wraith hd or 4k ultra, or the Hik Alpex are both pretty decent with an aftermarket ir 👍

So pleased I’m subscribed to your channel it’s one of the best on KZfaq. Can you tell me what’s the difference from sports match mounts to other mounts thanks and please keep the videos coming

They are made in Britain and to extremely high tolerances to ensure perfect quality. These mounts are also supplied to military and police units around the world 😉

Hi Mark. With the quick detach picatinny mounts you use on your riflescopes to you have to re-zero when you change over scopes from your element scopes to nightvision type or do they usually hold zero?

@260rips Жыл бұрын

Yes they hold zero 😉👍

@leegorman8322 Жыл бұрын

Guess you wouldn't be going with the vixen in heat, that would confuse them? 🤔

@260rips Жыл бұрын

Anything is worth a try you never know what will entice them in! When the ground is frozen it makes it harder for foxes to find earth worms, insects and other small food sources so most prey calls work well in such conditions. Foxes will be pairing soon so vixen in heat might well work, however, I know a lot of people seem to have a lot of luck with this call, I’m still yet to pull in a fox with it!

@stephenball6229 Жыл бұрын

Mark where do you get your one piece mounts from as no where seems to have the quick release picatinny/weaver in the uk

I still don't get it...Foxes eat mice, rats and so on Why pest control on rats and than "foxing"?

@260rips Жыл бұрын

Foxes do indeed prey on rodents which is a good thing although their main diet is insects, however foxes are also very much opportunists and will also kill song birds, gamebirds and poultry. They will also take lambs during the spring which is the main reason they are controlled on these farms 👍
