- Fox shooter Roy Lupton is expecting a bumper crop tonight. He is out in a customised Land Rover Discovery to make an impression on a fox population that is out of control. First shown in Fieldsports Britain episode 90, Roy reckons it's going to be a big night. How big, he does not yet know....

Why shoot foxes?
The British red fox is widespread across the whole of mainland Britain and Ireland. The best estimate of the current British fox population is 240,000 adults in spring, to which a production of 425,000 cubs is added annually. The fox has no natural predator and for the population to remain stable, 425,000 foxes must therefore die each year.
Fox numbers need to be managed and controlled to prevent the predation of lambs, piglets reared outdoors, free range and domestic poultry. Foxes can also have a significant impact on vulnerable species of ground nesting birds such as black grouse, partridge, lapwing and curlew (Bealey, Green, Robson, Taylor & Winspear, 1999).
In order to protect such species while they are breeding, conservators and gamekeepers aim to control fox numbers, particularly from late winter to early summer. Foxes are also controlled around pheasant and partridge rearing and release pens in late summer and autumn. Overall, the direct cost to UK agriculture from fox predation has been estimated at £12 million annually (UK Government figures)
thank you for taking the time to reply ,, i live in a very urban area and foxes are now a big problem and im starting to think that a cull is needed
Iv got fox problem on my farm at present, seeing you working is giving new hope. Cheers! Keep it up your good at it.
call them in? wow i wonder what they were thinking before their ending, I love foxes but i guess if there is a reason behind this I will watch and be educated
I like shooting through sunroof too. The factory one on my Patrol is huge, and I can stand up behind the front seats whilst my mate drives. Works a treat!
same here, i got pajero, with a lightforce roof lamp!easy peasy💪👍👍
Excellent. 21 in a night. Thanks for posting. Love the channel.
that's a lot of foxes, wow
did you hear him say that there was no other wildlife in the area as a result of the high population of the foxes!!!!
Jordan Harding no kill them stupid pests it’s what they get
That was a damn good night!
Good nights work Roy ,I bet its not the last time you shoot there.Just a little tip mate if the foxes are lamp shy try an LED lamp.they give off a different frequency of light making their eyes blue and we find it hepls a lot with lamp shy foxes.
I love reading the anti's comments. Some of them are just nuts.....pure nuts!! :-)
+HILUX CHAINSAW I kind of agree with this. They probably have chickens on the farm and the foxes need controlling. But I am anti hunting if it's not for a good reason!
and if it's cruel I'm against it.
@HILIX I agree ,they don't care how many chickens or lambs killed by fox. They just jerks.
HILUX CHAINSAW Same!!
Unbelievable, just shows how out of control they have become, it's not unusual for me to see 5 or 6 in a night, out with the lamp, they really do need to be controlled, keep up the good work lads
why is everyone so anti hunting these days? 100 years ago you would be laughed at for protecting a fox. Nice shooting, very good night out
MrSuperstacks liberals are messing everything us and give us crap for hunting
Ah, but does this video not illustrate the REDUNDANCY of packs of scenting hounds for the task of killing foxes? Given that it's possible to account for Reynard - or any other rural pest - HUMANELY using a high-powered rifle, what possible justification could there be for chasing him with a pack of dogs?
Right on! There is absolutely none.
Un-effing-believable!
Here in Arlington, VA (cross the river from D.C.) foxes are a rare sight. I go back about thirty-odd years here and rabbits moved in only recently. They are far bolder than squirrels. I simply cannot imagine foxes could be such a plague
I assure you that pigeon and rabbit pie is actually pretty good, more like red wine sauce with a bit of stock mixed in though for the sauce. I would happily choose this over a chicken pie. mind the bits of lead shot though ;) .And the fun you have is not from killing the animals, but the suspense up to it, knowing that your providing yourself with a meal after it, knowing your doing a service for the land owner and the social activity of it when you go with friends. Beats going to the cinema
The poultry association has granted Roy the title defender of the fowl!
@Francesca Treharne you really shouldn't watch thing your going to get offended by
Nice work chaps I love the Land Rover idea. I might have to remember that one.
If an envirorment is dominated by a predator it is not healthy, predators should be the least populated animal as determined by thier place on the food chain. Skylarks don't hurt crops, so how can we benefit from less songbirds?
Good work. Thanks for sharing!
Hello there! What a record....!!! Could you please let me know what brand and model of lamp/spot-light are you using in this video?
Hi - carcases are rendered or buried - pelts are sold where there's a market for pelts. The least 'cruel' culling is probably with hounds - no chance of wounding and tends to take the weaker foxes - but shooting is the most effective
It's a sad fact but we do infact get killed by the thousands, we have wars, we die of old age, we get diseases etc etc..so our population fluctuates. And an animal dying instantly and humanely is not cruelty, in the case of foxes it helps protect some of our wild bird species, some farmed species also. In the case of other animals such as the pigeon, we shoot for crop protection (i'm sure even you vegans eat cereals!), but they aren't put to waste! I love pigeon and cook with it regularly.
Good video and a good point proven
21 is remarkable. I would be absolutely delighted with that 💯💯👍👍👌👌
The reason for changing the filter colour is that foxes will get use to one colour if lamped too much.. Another good trick is to change the call too.. Never use the same filter/call every time I vary twich every year! Seems to work shot 26 in three weeks and the crops ain't even cut yet ha
End of day would be ok if a fox came in and took the odd chicken but they dont they come in and kill everything inside and take one with them.
***** get a life
Even the RSPB cull foxes you stupid troll
***** ime not a fox shooting supporter but its true, the will kill every chicken in the roost
End of 'the' day.. It would NOT be okay if a fox took one of my chickens that I PAID FOR that provides me with eggs to give to my children for breakfast. How is that something I'll just 'have to live with'? These fuckwits who don't work hard for their money and property have no clue or appreciation of what it's like to support a household/family.
A direct consequence of the hunting ban. Nice one hunt sabs.
What so love if foxes were torn apart by abused dogs after being terrorised
@@prestons3400 🤣🤣🤣🤣 another example of internet 'research'.
Great video. Keep them coming. All the best for the future.
in W NY we have a coyote prolblem weve been gettin the uper hand since night vision is available some times 12 a night with my ol 17 rem bdl 700 40 years old now looks &shoots like new still
Well if you understood anything about what the farmers have to put up with, you would understand how much of a pest those animals are. The attack chickens and all other game birds even small goats and sheep. So yes they do plenty wrong
What difference does it make why one would want to improve the population of an animal? If someone were a wildlife photographer and wanted to improve the population of an animal, just to take pictures of them, then they don't really care about the animals do they?
If there is an abundant amount of partridge, then the population will be less affected by sportsmen. It's very simple.
Fantastic night out guys ! happy farmer !!
***** get a life
YAWN
***** No, YOU Fucktard :-)
Idiot
Would love a fox head & tail plaque if anyone has one for sale? Thanks.
Okay thanks alot!
wow what shooting! best I've done was three in a night, but that was in a lot less ground.
What calibre was the rifle?
Thanks - .223
Good job!
You know, this looks fun!
which one ammo do you use?
Thanks for sharing this fantastic video - keep them coming Ignore the comments from the ignorants below
Oh yeah? I heard of a guy that lost £2220 because of foxes killing lambs and chickens. £ 2 2 2 0
Congrats good job guys ,there are too meney foxes in the UK ,but there not a lone its in all the countries the same a lot off foxes every where
***** get a life
Was recomended this video because of my shooting hobby but clicked because I thought it was a cute fox video lol
Some grad student is passing up a great opportunity here. I'm sure there's valuable information to be gleaned through accompanying the hunters and analyzing their bag for age, sex, DNA, etc., for an accurate population survey over time.
I'm wondering if foxes were ever such a plague in past centuries?
"Watership Down" this ain't.
So a hunter cannot be an ecologist?
you are using what caliber?
we don't want no STINKING BADGERS
Town foxes, nurtured by the well-meaning but ill informed, are spreading into the countryside. No wonder our iconic birdlife has declined by 70% in just a few decades. These guys are trying to redress the balance.
thats why hunting with hounds is so much better when the dogs get them they kill them 100% of the time, surly you agree?
Nice shooting fellas
Nice shooting Roy keep up the good work m8
did you hear how many he shot theres just too many around they need this control 20 becomes 100 very soon
Beautiful shooting
Well i totally disagree with that. Most wildlife photographers tend to be ecologists aswell, your statement is wrong on so many levels. We do conserve nature to enjoy it, granted, but we do it also out of mutual respect. And to keep a natural biodiversity level. Sure if there are too many foxes for example pest control is needed if it's proven the foxes are predation and affecting native wild life.
what calibre is being use in the video i use 12 g ,22mag and recently started using a 204 Kimber on foxes in Australia
.223 Rem
***** Your name says it all
***** Nice grammar. Also what you just said is illegal.
0ppp
I’m a farmer. Never liked killing animals (personally), having an unreal problem with wild dogs and fox +€2200 worth of damage of dead sheep and lambs, I guess my outlook has changed when it’s costing me money, just put my deposit on my first rifle, just need the police back ground check. Great video on shooting
You poor soul :(
happy hunting!
guess you dont know much about foxes, thats understandable though, not many people do know that they kill for pleasure
Yeh, good night foxing. Well done!
Thank you :), Will be thinking of you when I next tuck into the pigeons that are in my fridge :D
if something is causing you £1000's in damages you wouldn't want a permanent solution to solve it
I think Roy uses sako's in 22.250 and .243 caliber
what rifles were used please??? i mean calibre? thanks ... from Australia
I watched this cause a fox killed my 6 year old friend
So you think every fox deserves to be killed
21 in a night see what happens when you ban hunting with dogs
Banning fox hunting has nothing to do with this
I would love a pack of hounds in that field
Me too
I would be delighted with 21 in 1 WEEK never mind just one NIGHT 👍👍👌👌🇬🇧🇬🇧
Can't say I've tried hedgehog, don't tend to go for road kill, I like my meat fresh. A lot of people probably wouldn't bother replying to this sort of thing and would find it a waste of time. But people like you intrigue me as there seems to be no valid point behind what you're saying and you're simply 'trolling'. Makes no difference to me but you still probably buy certain meats from the supermarket, which have been through a high level of cruelty in comparison to this way about it...lol
What calibre are you using?
What a great night
get on love the sound of the smack of the bullet
Perhaps anyone who thinks this is cruel or barbaric should go and watch something else.................................???
What area is this you were lamping the foxes? That place was living with them !!
Love the video that's insane fox levels
Love it!
Nah i prefer to cook: Curries, stir-frys, pies, stews, pitta bread and humous pockets, salads. Absolutely beautiful if i don't say so myself. Gunna get myself some bunnies lamping on Saturday night, garlic and chillie marinade I'm thinking.
Looks like a sako 85.. Either 223 or 243 not sure!
what rifle is used it the video ?
I removed it as i thought it would be viewed as offensive (such as you apparently viewed it) and not viewed in the way i intended it to be viewed. Which was not meant as holocaust joke but as a joke aimed at you as you are intent on thinking I'm a nazi apparently. The idea being, you can think want you want to and i no longer care. I intend on removing nothing else, just as i intend never to stop shooting :) much love
Please provide a refence for this information. I dont agree with you. My uncle had several chicken coops place a far distance from the house. In one night a fox killed off a whole coop consisting of 150+ chickens. The fox ate 1 of the birds.
Foxes don’t waste he’s not going to eat them all in one night he’ll be back
hunt sabs just make us more sport in other fields ha ha
Nice job
Nice shooting, 21 in one night.
So hunting barerhanded + knife is something you regularly do? I put it to you that if you tried to hunt foxes by yourself with just a knife your sucess rate would be zero. Even primitive tribes that are experts at hunting would use traps and snares.
Remembering that part of the reason to use modern equipment is to control pest species. If I hunted with primitive method my farm would be overrun with foxes rabbits foxes and pigs.
ever tried pig wrestling,
What rounds was Roy using were they tracers
Looks a good conversion on the Land Rover, and a good nights work well done. Thanks for sharing, Graham.
What rifle were you using?
These critters are a pest and a nuecense. 🐺
but if your uncle had not found the dead birds or if he had left them and waited ,i gaurantee the fox would have come back over a period of time untill all the bird were removed for consumtion.
Can anybody tell me what gun he was using?
What caliber was that?
es evidente que los amantes de los animales desconocen el daño que especies como el zorro causan al resto cuando estan fuera de control, tampoco quieren reconocer que son vectores de enfermedades como la sarna y la rabia que entre otras especies se puede contagiar a los humano, que son la causa de grandes perdidas en granjas avicolas y de conejos cuando entran incluso atacan a corderos pequeños, digo esto por que vivo en un pueblo y salgo todos los dias al monte y lo veo.
Hmm gives me a great reason for buying an ex army snatch Land Rover, they have a hole in the back roof meaning it would just what these lads did with their Land Rover.
are the pelts still valuable
if you get a headshot
Whats the reason for the Amber coloured spotlight?
G'day. That is some great work. What sort of fox whistle does Roy have around his neck? Could you please let me know and also where to buy one?
This is wicked!!
what type a scope is he using for the night hunting anyone know?
yeh a night hunting scope,
not hunters,just gun happy,good old roy the great hunter LOL
Anything done with the fur?
No. The market for fox fur dried up in the 1980s. / Charlie
what rifle did u use
were is this place what state and or continent
What did you use?
So what happens when u shoot so many foxes that the rabbits then overtake the area?
Thanks for this. It's up to us to maintain a balance. / Charlie
You seriously think there would be a rabbit plague when you shoot that many foxes in ONE night. Last time I checked, rabbits allowed for natural predators to clean it up. Foxes would rather invade your chicken shed than hunt for rabbits.
brian may says foxes have to be bred to hunt. Brian you are a silly rhymes with hunt .LOL
