Foxes

Has anyone hunted foxes this way?
I've never seen it done like this and his weapon of choice to dispatch is pretty cool. Quick and painless.

Although i shoot foxes, wouldn't be into the whole digging with terrier thing.
Guns with well placed shots a lot more humane to me than nets and dogs
but each to their own!
a lot of work involved for the lads that do it and fare play.
plus, i wouldn't feel safe firing so close to my toes/ground :0

He seems to have it worked out though.
Looking at it again Jesus he is close to his feet isn't he but fox is dispatched on the dot so fair dues to him.
His dogs are on the button aswell. Despite being little ankle biters .
What gun is he using? .22 pistol?

Looks no more than 22 alright.
and no denying hes good at it
not that i have anything against it but i find no real desire for it.
not enough lying down in wet grass hoping and praying for my liking:)

We'll i've done a lot of fox digging over the years, but don't have the time for it these days! Using pistols to dispatch fox's, is getting very popular in the U.K, but haven't heard of anyone using them over here!

cant imagine it being allowed at all
poor feckers using target pistols on ranges atm are finding it difficult enough without new legislation coming in for hunting uses
