Thermal Necessity: Skunk Kill Debrief!

- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- A fresh type of video here in the Project. I talk about this skunk who killed our fox kits and moved it. I issued a death warrant on it in this review • Top Shelf Thermal Scop... and this is the fulfillment of that promise. I'll lay a foundation of what I call "proximity pests" and how sometimes they just need to be taken out. But it's more about lessons learned in these thermal/night vision systems and also the weapon system, ammo choice, and stability in shooting. Dial and the time will pass quick as I review how this was necessary and all this important system lessons.

"Todd Strelka 2d Nice video. The foxes are beneficial. I've heard that there are foxes at U42 South Valley Regional Airport to help keep the bird population down to prevent bird strikes by airplanes. 1 The Nutnfancy Project 2d I totally believe that 1 Sajak 2d Love the format and the undercurrent of this discussion. Long live Nutnfancy the Skunk Slayer! 3 The Nutnfancy Project 2d Thank you Sajak rediius 2d Missed opportunity to call this Operation Skunk Works as a tangential reference to your piloting career. The Nutnfancy Project 2d Never too late for that...maybe when I debrief the next one Load replies Moe Mansour 2d What's your thoughts on the S&W 432 or just .32 H&R mag snub noses in general? Wish snubies were legal where I am. The Nutnfancy Project 2d Too underpowered. If carrying a centerfire revolver, .30 Spcl +P would be my minimum. Now for undercover carry, the .22 MAg NAAs will get it done. Guy Actual 2d I'm right there with you on Killing. Had to kill a poisonous snake in our front yard just two days ago (Water Moccasin). And I know that snakes are damned to bruise the ankle of man, and such... but I still hate killing a lifeform that just doesn't know better. I have children, neighbors have pets, and the lady next door came home about 2 min after I dispatched it from the earth. She would have had a bad night most likely. The Nutnfancy Project 2d "...but I still hate killing a lifeform that just doesn't know better. " That seems like you Guy, a principaled varmint hunter. Indeed if they are not causing big probs like these critters they are free to live around us. 2 Derek W Tiller 2d That skunk never knew what hit it! The Nutnfancy Project 2d No suffering at all 2 The Late Boy Scout 2d Dude! I need a thermal! 1 The Nutnfancy Project 2d Yes you do 2 Aceman1126 2d Foxes are one of my favorite animals of all and I'm glad you are watching over them. Seems like the gear worked pretty good and you learned a lot about employment of said gear. Win win in my book. Thanks for sharing and as always thanks for the hard work that goes into the project! 1 The Nutnfancy Project 2d Thank you Ace and you bet 1 Dean 2d They both eat turkey poults. The Nutnfancy Project 2d Yep they do kawicheater 2d Sorry it came to killing the skunk in this case. That would have been great to watch the kits grow. Thanks for the humane kill. If you would like to watch some kits there is a great channel called ‘Save A Fox’. They rescue fur farm foxes etc and find them propper forever homes. High recommend for your fox watching fix. You and Save A Fox are my only Patreon donations. The Nutnfancy Project 2d Really cool you support them, foxes are awesome and always under attack it seems. Even in captivity they don't live that long. There's some good owners that take care of them and build habitats for them. 1 Lance L Black 2d I don't hesitate on taking out skunks in our area, rabies carrier and they repopulate quickly. Plenty of skunks, even 60 miles from Austin! Bernal 2d Skunk's gotta do what a Skunk's gotta do. Nutnfancy gotta do what he gotta do! Unlock codes, got it👍 Jonathon Palmieri 2d LOL! I love the kill marks on the ground squirrel Ruger American. maxmfs 2d That’s a design flaw on the Rattler. In addition to a raised guard/cover, every powered optic should have a time delay power switch, e.g., press and hold for three seconds to power on, press and hold to power off, etc. Michael B warner 2d I didn't know that skunks were predatory I always thought they were scavengers like possums and coon's. That's interesting learn something new everyday I'm with you with killing things although I am a annual deer hunter. I don't like killing things unless it's a last resort. I have an active death warrant out on red squirrel's specifically. They are incredibly destructive they chew holes in my barns and last winter chewed a hole in my boat cover. They got inside it and completely destroyed the interior of my Bass boat just chewed everything. It cost me almost a grand to fix everything so we're on a shoot on site basis. I have also employed traps as well although traps are only effective about 20% of the time however. My 10/22 has been getting the job done for me pretty well!!! Nate Berglund 2d That Colt is beautiful! I still haven't pulled the trigger on a thermal yet. After seeing this, I just might get one soon. sammy marchand 2d First shot was definitely a miss but the kill was clean and humane. I’ve shot 5-6 skunks with a PVS-14 & IR laser setup on a .22lr pistol and even on pellet and BB rifles. They can definitely be pests. 1 Mattimus 1d Great content here with pou and mc topics to flesh it out. More please:) Colostomybag 1d Honestly I've only killed one Deer. Felt kinda bad afterwards, it did taste pretty damn awesome though. Glad I know how to field dress one but I don't plan on doing that again. That being said I'm planning on getting nv before I get thermal. It seems to me that thermal is for observation and nv is for shooting. Bryan Hufstedler 11h Peppy had it coming! Loved the video. David Eslamizar 7h I have rats around my place. One day I shot a few with a BB gun (pest control) and I felt bad but moved on. Several days later I did more pest control and I ended up shooting a baby rat and it didn’t die right away and it suffered and I heard it before I finished it off. I love animals and the sounds are still stuck in my head, of the suffering rat. I have not been able to nor do I have the desire to do that again. Maybe I’m a puss or maybe I just care more than I should. Christopher B. 5h Grizzly... Have you considered a good ratting terrier? Lots of good videos of those dogs getting work done. Rob Miller 4h XLNT video and lesson. Anyone who has hunted game will likely have similar lessons of failure to prepare and practice. I have an endless list of personal blunders afield."
I forget that not everyone grew up like me. I grew up out in the woods, and we had livestock and property we relied upon to live. It was nothing for us to dispatch whatever we needed to protect our food and property. We learned young what we needed to dispatch and hunt. There are numerous channels that show hunters dispatching critters that are nuisance animals to farmers and ranchers. Some are night critters, and the rest are day critters. It’s about survival. God takes care of everything, but in order to make our way in the world, we as humans must thin the populations of certain critters that prevent us from prospering. We don’t eradicate(unless it is an invasive species). We just keep the population down, and find a balance within the ecosystem.
We are good Shepards of God’s world. The clowns don’t understand this, nor do they care to understand this. They are Zombies of the propaganda and narrative that the evil ones are pushing. They are the Deceived, and unwilling to learn or change. God is the key, and He speaks to us with His Word, the Bible. Amen 🙏
You may think this guy is long winded but this 36 minute detailed explanation of experience could save you several days and many dollars.
I can't believe someone with your level of attention to detail made so many mistakes. Thank you for your honesty and sharing this. it is time to get "tactically squared away".
I had no idea what I was walking into with this video, came out pleasantly surprised
ha click bait
In Kentucky we have what we call ground yellow jackets , if you have ever been mowing grass and pass over a nest they will light you up . I found out skunks will dig up the nests and eat the larva . While I am not a skunk fan they do good things
Lots of nuggets of wisdom in this video! So important to test our POU and our system to have it debugged prior to really needing to rely on it.
This needs to be more common for CZcamsrs. Making multi-part content about solving a specific problem.
Pellet gun point blank works for ours.... yours was a crazy saga!! Love hearing TNP tactics and analysis applied to IRL situation, thank you!!!
My father used to say: "Don't get into a pissin' contest with a skunk."
Love you nutn. I have 2 out of 4 of the hossom blades you reviewed like 10 years ago. I finally have money to buy them but they're hard to find. Hope you know you created a real problem in my life.
My Dad and Grandfather both worked for the US Fish and Wildlife Service in the Dakotas. I was raised on a wildlife refuge and one of the few animals I had permission to kill on sight was a Skunk.
Another good thing about thermal is the greater field of view over a night vision scope.
The foxes are "all kitted out." Seems like a fun sticker or patch!
I have always admired Nutn' for his moral stance regarding the taking of animal life and human life. I hope the Foxes return.
I am English but when I visited Northern California in 2018 I saw racoons, skunk, coyote and some kind of deer.
Thank you for letting us in on your thought processes
Thank YOU
Sucks about the fox family. Sometimes we just can't have nice things.
Exactly, maybe they come back but so far nutn
RIP your sister, sir. I didn’t know about that. I’ve been a follower since 2008 or so and remember her responding to messages.
I've been eagerly awaiting the details of what happened to the skunk ever since the video when you brought it up. Glad we have closure :)
Great story, and an important philosophy discussion as well.
You are definitely a city slicker dude. I thought you were a country boy for so long…had me fooled. If you were a real prepper,(country boy) then you would know that you must kill any and all predators near you and your “livestock”. City slickers don’t even know what are predators and what aren’t. Country folk are merely protecting their livestock and property. However, you are admitting your mistakes…and learning. And you admit this. Bravo Zulu to you. You can admit you are wrong, change your mind, and the way you work a solution to problems! This is what we call the spiritual Way, because this is the same thing we do as Christians. Most country folk are Christians in case you didn’t know…especially here in America. God bless you Nutnfancy. Keep up the good work! You just showed everyone the Glory of God without even realizing it! 🤠🙏
Point taken. Gear ready, area of responsibility, methodology, positive identification…very cool
What did the fox say?
The skunks took my baby
No
The skunk said fuk Joe Biden
Oh no!!!!😮
Yiff ?
Thank you for another great review with your captivating no frills humorous delivery!
If any follow up skunks show up, it would be kool to see you use the new Rock River Arms AR-15 in .17HMR to dispatch it
Really enjoyed this one. All the false starts and mistakes are just part of hunting.
I missed the news about your fox friends previously. It is sad to hear. Good video about lessons learned in the field.
Hearing you say fucker startled me. Love the video
Pepe le Pew 0 : Nutn le Pew Pew 1. Clean shots Sir.
Thank you sir
Great Video ! Had a skunk walking toward me and I said "NO !" and the skunk did a 180 and walked away ! Also the Coyotes would visit the fields for a snack ! Hope the deer hunters do not mistake your yellow shirt for a deer ! tjl
That was informative. Thanks for the nudge, there are lots of aspects to consider. Maybe, now that the skunk and his odor are gone the foxes will return. Or another set of foxes will use your property in the future.
This is one of my favorite videos from you Nutn. Loved it !
I have a v2 rattler and fold the lens cap over the power button. It keeps me from accidentally hitting the power button. Works on the ts25-256 & ts19-256
I never knew that about skunks. Thanks for the info.
TNP in action. This 36 minute video as great. Real life testing in action.
You whipped out a Gold Cup, well done Nutn!!
I would have hot melt a sliver of plastic between the power and the record button. Then you have a tactile gate between the two buttons. Thanks for the message.
I can't believe Magic Prepper would trespass like that...
With the proper permit from IF&G, quality thermals with suppressors are changing the game in wolf management in Idaho. Don't underestimate the capabilities of an experienced thermal hunter in the field during an airsoft confrontation - particularly those equipped with an AGM Fuzion monocular. You boys just running just night vision are DRT.
You, are protector, a guardian
So sorry about your sister. I chatted with her many times back in the day when she would respond to comments.
Ok, I had mentally pictured you all ghillied up in the prone and maybe dozing off while awaiting the shot. lol. Quite clear the Airforce is coming out in you NF.. (alarm sounds, you have to get ready and then respond to the pre planned ambush site?) Come on man! 🤣
Edit: being funny. Love the videos 🫡
Good work! Still loving all this stuff. Take care.
I like my Christianson arms 22, with a infrared scope, does a fine job of varmint Killin, tipped with a Q erector, sweet rig, and very light
Skunk had to go. You’re a braver man than I to consider messing with a trapped skunk! I come across skunks often while hunting, my buddies dog even got sprayed a few years ago. I gotta say though, FMJ? There is a HUGE difference in lethality between a fmj and a vmax, ballistic tip or TNT hollow point! Use whatever you want but I think you would be surprised what that “Pee shooter” is capable of with expanding bullets.
I was just training with my RH25 clip on tonight. Thermal is the real deal. I can hit a torso target at 400 yards on 6power.
Great video Nutn! Unfortunately the skunk had to go, I feel the same way about animals as you. Another great lesson for the air soft community!
Thanks Nutn. Great job. Good info. God bless. Happy trails.
I thought you lived in Utah and that raccoons were evasive there I miss quite a bit of content I spent almost a year and a half in the hospital just curious sir but still it's good to be back watching the channel in the past I've always asked you about Mrs nutnfancy it was good to see her in that last garden video as always keep up the great work brother
Please do a video on the cameras you are using, that would be really helpful information.
Thanks for making this video, good job
One thing that helpful with thermal, you know you got a hit, with that warm blood splash, on cold dirt.
As soon as you started speaking about the fox kids in the conditional grammatical form, I said “oh, no”.
More content on thermal. Extremely interesting product line
Ballot box and soap box first, cartridge box as a last resort when no other way is present
I’d like to see you review the Arken zulus night vision scope.
First round deffinately connected.
Nice !
Correct
excellent video sir. please fok what others think who cares if it takes you time to make a video and only one person watches it. that's awesome. move along at ur pace and keep them coming Nutn.
no milly yet,, dang bro you were my first sub back in like 2009 ish
Great review. Thermal is pretty cool. Still too much money for the average guys budget unfortunately
Did you say you were doing a cam set up video? 🤞🏽
Great vid nutn.
Any chance you can review some other thermal brands? I’ve heard good things about pulsar but I’m still learning a lot about thermals. Thanks for the great reviews and POU vids.
Awsome vid nutnfancy!
Did you say you were doing a cam system video? 🤞🏻
This was an enlightening video. Thank you Sir.
Great video Nut'n, stellar content as usual...can we expect to a skunk skin cap in the future?
I shoot 77 an 75 grn almost exclusively, going to light stuff is absolutely a huge zero shift, if ur used to precise shooting ull know right away, this is different, even recoil is waay more, neither is of course much at sll but theres a clear difference between the two
Skunks are members of the weasel family. They can raise havoc on domestic chickens, ducks, plus anything that lays eggs in your animal husbandry attempts. I've ended a couple that found and continually raided the coop, eating eggs and killing baby chicks and ducklings. The "leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone" policy applies.
A Nutnfancy revenge story 😂
Nuttin your a good guy..I love your content,you are a benefit to mankind
I’m not sure if you have chosen that lipstick shade on purpose but it does kind of give away your position
We gonna see more of that Gold Cup?
Sure hope we do!!
IrayUSA is where it’s at. Have a problem, call and an American dude who knows his stuff is right there. 5 year warranty. Awesome awesome thermals.
I wonder how skunks do indoors? My place smells, I need to freshen it up!
You should do a whole video on “unlock codes”, and really make an effort to influence people more towards that mentality, rather than the lone wolf, walking dead mentality that has become pervasive.
A V-Max would have given you a much more dramatic terminal effect.
Message received
Thanks
I know of a place that has lots of skunks. They are the worst kind of skunks you
could imagine. I'm really sick and tired of these skunks, my patience is wearing thin with them.
I think the first shot went through the neck, but I doubt he really felt any of that. He was pretty clearly stunned by the first shot. Didn't even turn around to bite it.
Love it!
Job well done! Thumbs up ~John
I have also found foxes and skunks living together in the same den. Skunks are members of the weasel family
Skunks will cohabitate with groundhogs as well
Awwww, I didn't know your sister is gone :(
Damn that's hard to identify with the digital.
Guaranteed the foxes won't come back due to the scent left by ex skunk.
Maybe not till after a few hard rains I guess?
Soft point would have taken just one shot. Fmj just zips through with no energy dump, some, but nothing like a soft point.
Nice vid, Nutn.
Thank you sir
Do you still sell tnp knives? Seen patches hats n shirts but no blades
Man: The fox family can stay, that's cool.
Skunk: The fox family must go. ::kills fox babies::
Man: This is war.
Nice shirt Nut’n
Thermal is the future.
EdGun Leshy ... great content about the same. I see you never watched Pe'pe LePew?
So has the fox family come back yet?
The rolling death
Savage
Skunk sitting in that trap in the sun will die from heat in a few hours during the day
VENTILATED
reminds me of that famous Joe McCarthy speech 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The fox are awesome Critters. I have a family near my house and the Kitts will steal my dogs toys and they actually play with the dogs toys at night
Oh that sounds awesome, so glad you have them as neighbors, we are hoping they return
@@nutnfancy if you leave some dog toys out by the den if they do come back watch the little ones play. It’s a riot! 😂
How did you warm those targets in the range shot?
Residual heat from the Sun heating it during the day time
Just goes to prove your understanding of wild life. The fox's wouldn't have move there if their food supply wasn't all destroyed.
That I understand too. It is great to see ecology co-existing ...Rock on... 👍✌
I play as a dmr scout in airsoft and i use a vector optics with 6 to 24x zoom, i mainly scout and relay the location to my buddies in my line and what they have and how many, but yeah the optic makes the difference, even though i cant shoot as far as i can see (wich is in perfect weather 90m) the information is more important than a kill.
Ps. I always try to go center mass because especially in airsoft, the grain of your pellet and the wind can make the ballistics finnicky, i also reccomend a bubble level on your optic
Lockheed not happy
