You can only shoot them once and when you have that's it.

Yeah, with all the buttons I think Bernard thought it was a video game and he was going to get an extra life. 

That's probably why he didn't get along with it.

He was walking up to the gate and pressing the "jump" button and he wasn't jumping. 

He was pressing the sprint button and wasn't sprinting.

He was pressing the fire button and wasn't firing....

But the Aliens still came down and took the fox....or was that the car headlights and his eyesight...


(sorry Bernard, couldn't resist. In the same boat mate.)

Find a fox I know what you mean , they are now extinct on my grounds due to thermal and nv use. I used to go out with a guy for about 5 years using this combination on my grounds and we were out every other night hammering foxes consequently I am now regretting it as after 2 years the population still hasn't recovered. I can safely say I will not be buying thermal or nv, they have had a devastating impact on foxes round me , they are now an endangered species

theres still a fair few knocking about round this way but I know what you mean!

the sheep farm on the moor near me only lost one lamb this year because I got on top of them,

getting a few a night isn't going to happen any more but it got me a free rein for the deer that are plentiful not that I shoot a lot of them.

Seeing them through thermal or NV doesn't kill them.... 

Yep but why even go out and find foxes if your not going to shoot them , you might as well stay in the house and watch Coronation street  Also why spend a fortune on that gear only to not use it

You might as well stay in the house and shoot your self instead of watching that depressing sh*t

Haha you've got my head in a spin mate! You complain you can't find any foxes, but then say you won't go thermal even though you think it helps find more foxes on a night!! 

[FOXHUNTER 5,021]

Your missing the point mate , it's not I cant find any foxes there arent any to find so thermal wont make any difference . I mentioned thermal and nv as we used to use it and it decimated the population so would rather not use it now so the fox population can hopefully recover. I was an avid fox shooter up until the last couple of years but enthusiasm has waned now due to the lack of foxes. Glad I never bought all that expensive gear now as it would be up for sale Thermal and nv do have their place dont get me wrong just not for me because as a fox shooter I want foxes on the ground instead of a fox desert. 

[FOXHUNTER 5,021]

Good times , no thermal or NV required

Well no need to worry about that. You haven't bought any because you are tighter than f*****g cramp!

No mate , a very wise decision as would be redundant now. Also I don't like it , I like being more traditional

This is where your argument/opinion falls down. 

The problem isn't whether thermal/n/v is used, the problem is shooting five foxes in a night. 

Whatever method is used, shooting big numbers in areas where the vacant territories aren't repopulated quickly can only lead to one conclusion.

Foxes only have one litter a year and eventually the pressure of year round shooting will show in the lack of foxes.

Some places i go to seem to have a never ending supply, usually adjacent to a town or in the middle of several big villages. Other more rural places it would be easy to wipe them out.
