Alot of people say that this man is a fox expert....never heard so much trollop in all my life...there is no such thing as a fox expert,sure the guy is a nice guy. I have always been taught and its true, if you think your an expert on foxes, your wrong there will always be another that will do something that confuses the hell out of you. always learning no matter how long you have been shooting them.
I met Robert on his lovely farm shoot yesterday and he is a very nice man, he is also a very knoweldgeable bloke when it comes to fox shooting, he has written several books on it too, so anyone that dosent appreciate his information dosent deserve to hear it, i wont hear a bad word said about him! Jack swan
@PietPassword No not really,you are just a complete&utter dickhead&judging by the comments left on your profile wall,well they sum you up completely,don't they?Oh and another thing,I find it hard to believe that you really are 70 years old.No 70 year old,Ive ever known or heard of,would belittle a country,working-man.70 going on 7,I think.
Meaning, I don't care whether it's legal, it's wrong! It's wrong to kill with no need for it. Some african tribes you've mentioned, are dependent on hunting as their only food resource; I can understand and accept that. But killing as hobby?! Killing for fun?! Gun isn't just a toy! It's KILLING we are talking about. WHY SHOULD ANYONE PAY FOR YOUR HOBBY WITH HIS LIFE? Think of it. And die rather than kill.
@ailysolveig These particular African tribes butcher each other,with AK47s,as they have little value on life.Yes they kill animals to eat them&there's nothing wrong with this,nor is there anything wrong with hunting animals in the UK,for their meat,which is what I agree with.I do not under any circumstances view the culling of a fox,as a hobby(As its not),as its an occupation done either by a lone farmer/landowner,or a professional pest-controller,to stop them from attacking poultry&crops.
@ailysolveigRather than reply to me directly,you've decided to just directly post on here.Afraid of the truth possibly?because you have immaturely steamed into things,by cursing Robert Bucknell(Who is only doing his job,as a legitimate pest controller&hunter:-)&wishing myself&other shooters dead..I know countryside professionals,who own guns for dispatch &for hunting&it gives them no pleasure in doing neither.READ THE WILDLIFE&COUNTRYSIDE ACT 1981&stop being ignorant.You'd never be a Ray Mears.
I wish more people were like Robert in the British Deer Society and in government,then we wouldn't have got semi-auto fullbores&pistols banned,by the stupid anti-gunners.We would of come out with only a bit of negative publicity,but it would ofdied down.A good lesson to us shooters in general:Always stick together& with each other,as if one lot,doesn't support the other,the antis attack with vengence.Shooting shouldn't be a class issue,with snots for snots.
@ailysolveig Meaning what exactly?If you disagree with legitimate gun ownership,then why the hell are you viewing this video then?Gun owners aren't like maurading African savages,that are found in Nigeria,the Congo or in Somalia,they are civilised people,especially those from Britain.When the guns I mentioned were legitimate,gun crime was very low.Jamacian Yardies&Africans have helped increase gun crime in Britain,along with some Latin Americans.Need I say more?Look up Operation Trident then.
@ailysolveig By the way,I know you are an anti-shooting/hunting person,from your previous comments&I'll say this:I believe in using ONLY with firearms,never dogs.A wild animal should be killed either,with the intention to EAT IT,to put it out of its misery,(like how wounded deer or horses are legitimately-despatched with pistols are:-)as it is so badly injured,it will die,or because certain species,need to be controlled,such as foxes,Coyotes,rabbits,etc.Even Left-Wing polititions agree withthis.
Great Britain won't let you have a semi-auto but they'll let you have a bolt action with military style accessories. In the US, you can have the semi-auto but some places won't let you have military style accessories. What a fucked up world thanks to the idiotic anti-gunners we live in.
@redlegagent Actually there are a few exceptions to it:Semi-auto centrefire rifles&all modern handguns are totally legal in northern Ireland,the Channel Islands&the Isle Of Man.I know this,as ive seen package holidays for UK mainland shooters to visit these venues as part of the deal.The mainland got strict cause the antis targeted it easily.They never thought of islands or of NI,as the government there would tell them to get lost.

@NorStarReviews governments feels they can do anything to it subjects and good subject comply with the Crown's wishes, so when this man had to render to Cesar what which Cesar claimed as contraband " Robert's AR-15" he did, so shame on him and all that did.
We need you here in America also! Our population is so far removed from hunting as a sport or a necessity that our predators, fox, coyote ect are on the rise. Thank you for informing the public.
Would like to add to my last comment that the reason that I ask is that game keeping is literally none existent hear in Ireland and pests like fox, crows and magpie decimate a lot of other species not just game birds as there are only a dedicated few who try to control their numbers. I just want to know if my CZ would dispatch a fox quickly and humanely.
Hi just want to say am a big fan of Sporting Shooter! I've got a CZ .22lr and was wondering if it would be sufficient for fox hunting?? I wanna know if it'd get the job done with out having to worry about the fox dragging itself off and dying somewhere! Obviously it'd be at a much closer range than larger rifles but i'm used to calling them in close and finishing them with the shotgun! Do you take head or neck shots or put 1 in the engine room?
Your actions are unforgivable. You are a FILTHY abomination to humanity. How dare you earn the trust of such a beautiful animal and then betray it by killing it. does that make you feel big? you are pathetic.
You are a vile sadist. I hope you die a slow painful agonising death and you very last emotion is dire misery. Karma will get you...
Master of the statement of the bleeding obvious - and he sells a book to let you know all this as well! Pls learn to shoot on a range first and get good groups holding a lamp and rifle like he does, it an't easy. Shooting in the dark, red or white light it is difficult to judge distance not just for a clean kill but also a safe shot!
It's a shame they took all the semi autos off us in England only leaving us the .22 rim fire thanks government but he has some good advice for anyone just starting to lamp Charlies
@rigers0109 I bet the dead fox is abit upset also.And if there are other foxes they will be abit upset about losing 1000's of pheasants to some weekend warriors.I mourn the loss of all the wild apex preditors that once lived on these Isles.Anihilated by ......weekend warriors no doubt.
He's basically just someone who shoots a lot of foxes, but he wrote a book, does some talks at BASC meetings etc, and writes a monthly column in Sporting Shooter magazine. Knows his stuff, but one of those people who would hate to be called an 'expert'.
hi, i live in england and shoot and hunt in both south n north yorkshore, i use a . 22 for rabbit and a 222 for foxes i use the same lamping style as this bloke, that whats made me comment, who is he, ive never heard of mr robert bucknell ?? i hold my lamp exectly the same, got the dimmer and everything the same. who is this man plz ?, he,s prob never heard of me too, but he know what hes talking about ,can tell ya that. stay lucky big john.
Duh, that's what they're for. And shooting is not about some 'kick' that comes from killing - that's in your head, and it says more about you than it does about shooters.
@jamesmarchington Well then you dont know a lot about Americans. Your typical hunter is a sociopath in the US. He loves his guns, hs no resepct for life and kills for fun. It is differen tin Europe.
@funkybuck Well i lived in rural new york state as well as north carolina nad texas and can tell u frm personal experience the average moron with a rifle looking to shoot a squirrel/even a buck for its antlers is nothing more than a coward/sociopath.people who hunt for meat/tradition r one thing-the average yocal yank who shoots critters for fun starts by stomping on insects/frogs as a youngster.critter killing and killing non game animlas for fun is listed under sociopathic behavior.now go away
@newjerseydev - I am an Irishman living in North Carolina. My wife is from Texas and I have lived in new york. What you are saying is complete tripe. There are rednecks everywhere - including sunny england. your argument is completely circular, and obviously extremely biased. i can see from your other posts that you're a troll, a hateful bigot or both. clearly you are a simpleton.
@funkybuck Because i responded to some idiot Poles insults Im a troll?ha. dont make me laugh. And ur irish?Well the irish are vastly different from the americans. My grandparents are from ireland and Icant begin to tell u how much nicer and cultured rural life in ireland is than in the states. Yes there are rednecks everywhere but that violent hateful streak americans have doesnt exist tot he same degree in the UK.ireland. check the murder rates-8X higher rate in US than in ireland.ur in denial
@newjerseydev The UK has seen crime rates rocket since the ban of firearms. I hear pretty soon there won't be anymore glass pints in the pubs because of all the fighting and stabing. Well stabbings should drop since knives are next to be banned.
@funkybuck look ur right there are good and bad everywhere and there are obviously some moral hunters in the US who shoot game for sustenance etc but in gen the average yocal with a .22 that shoots critters for blood is a sociopath. thats why amercan kids bring guns to school, off one another for fun etc. look at the murder rates amongs even white populations in the US vs ireland and UK. americans are mad. sure i used some hyperbole but come on mate u r in denial bc ur wife is american
none of us would even be around today if it wasn't for people with weapons for hunting, and it just so happens to be that a rifle or shotgun is the most efficient way to do it.
@kingbradderz Are you stupid? You do know that there is shooting sports? Guns aren't just used for hunting. Their also used for compilation. And other games. Here, when the end of the world comes you don't have a gun and I will. Lets see who lives longer :)
@kingbradderz I own several guns, and have once killed an animal, I have actually killed more creatures just by walking, driving and sleeping than I have by using a weapon. Guns are inanimate and do not have free will, the users kill via the power of the gun, the gun just does what it's told.
nice gun and set up, seems to know what he is talking about, but i wouldnt handle a firearm as he does, not vey safe putting a gun over your shoulder with bolt and magazine in place even though there is no bullets in the rifle.
I always follow safety precautions always point gun towards the ground when not in use and never never hang it over your shoulder.
To be honest i think commmen sense would provale, obviously a vastly experianced shooter and has managed for more years than he cares to remember without killing himself or others!
i dont think you can lay down a set of protocals for stalking or shooting in general but like i said at the start Common sence should take care of things.
I shot a lovely fox on Saturday, good 10kgs nice winter coat using 264 that is 6.5x57mm Mauser. He was sprinting down hill and had just crossed a forestry road when I nailed him. Found him lay in the snow, after he had skidded a good one and half meters! Great shot, instant death! The coat was hardly damaged, point of impact slightly high around the midrift but still in the boiler room, just below the spine. I am using hand loaded Hornady round nose 160gr. Fast and flat shooting.
you would drop a fox with 22 rimfire but its not an ideal caliber for fox but if you have a centerfire rifle whats the point in 22lr even though i have both and i love the 22 rimfire
My target AR with an 11:1 twist using 45gr Barnes Varmint Grenades will take out fox and coyote at 300 with ease, my average is distance is 150 - 200 yards. I shoot them in the head so there's no followup shot needed to dispatch a hurt or injured animal.
In the UK, we are advised to use .222, .223 or 22-250 on Fox. .22 RF to be used on rabbit or Hare (Jack Rabbit). In Scotland you can use a .222 ect with 50gr + projectile on Roe Deer but not in England!
certain deer in england can be shot with a caliber less than 243 which is the advised minimum for roe,fallow, seeker deer etc muntjac can be shot in england with a 22 caliber
dude ive took deer with .22..lr you dumbasses. all you have to do is get a nice shot to the skull thats all quit bitching about numbers and what not until you actually try it
I was going to ask what caliber the rifle was, but it's .223 - is that legal to use off the range? I assume it is! I was aware that .22/250 and .22 hornet are legal to use, but I wasn't aware that 5.56mm was. Very interesting!
I'm not going to lie, we have used our .303 Lee Enfield No1. Mk3* on geese before, but that was with the farmer's permission, and with the knowledge that it would stay a secret!
go to a property in lambing season and see what the dirty bastards can do in one night not a preety sight ive lost thousands of dollars because of the dirty pricks the only good fox is a dead one
People like you, mad typer, are one of many people who are morally lazy. you take some high moral stance like anti fox hunting, so you don't have to make any difficult moral descisions. in Australia there is no problem for shooting foxes, because they are completely fucking up our native wild life. but you would say we shouldn't shoot foxes, but what about the native wildlife that becomes extinct because of them. life is about making agonizing moral descisions like kill this animal, save another
hey "madtyper" go and get fucked! if you are so against fox hunting, then why the fuck are you watching videos on fox hunting, you stupid tree huggin, peice of shit.
And we're back to insults again. Surely by your own reasoning your own existance is conributing to the 'human' problem, yet you're still here. And your reason for not ending it all can't be to 'fight the good fight' because you'd arm yourself with more facts than anecdotal assumptions. If you want to bring change, don't waste time ranting here and polarising people against your thinking. Lead by example and win people over with the benefits. My reality is an organic smallholding. What's yours?

As a serious comment to your point, Madtyper, it's an unfortunate fact of life that anything classed as vermin has to be controlled. The reason for this is they will continue to breed around a food source until that is exhausted and they starve to death, or their numbers get so high that mother nature steps in and cuts the numbers with disease.
Shooting them is the most humane way of maintaining a balance, especially when you have an experienced professional behind the rifle.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Humans are the vermin!, we had a natural balance until human intervention, so
left alone nature will sort it self out!.
What gives you the right to take another life!, Tell me whats the most humane way of keeping the human numbers down?, By shooting the old, the weak, or are the people at the top not doing that already by poisoning you and alike, or are you a Reptilion?!.
Oh you poor, deluded fellow. Have you ever seen 'natural balance' up close and personal? Have you any idea how long a diseased animal takes to die? If you like, I'll let you know next time the farm is hit by mixy and you can help me put 100+ blind rabbits, too sick to move, out of their misery. Better still, try actually living your vegetarian utopia without pest control. You'll lose 50% of your crop, and the average life expectancy of a laying chicken is a couple of weeks.
(Yawn) Hiding behind 'insults' you've copied from elsewhere on YT is a pretty poor way of avoiding a legitimate question, considering you posed it.
So, I'll try again: Have you ever seen 'natural balance' up close and personal? Do you know how long a diseased animal takes to die, taking mixy as an example?
Come on, I'm sure you're capable of adult debate. Prove to everyone your not just some clueless twerp having a rant.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
YAWN!!!.....NO!, I have not seen natural balance up close and personal and neither have you!, This is because of human interferance over many hundreds of years!,
Mixymatosis is down to humans as is many other
diseases. NO! I do not like to see animals suffer but humans have caused most of it and it's still going on. All you see is a target, and most of the targets are heathy!with families! so how would you like me to come along and shoot you and your family?!.There's no difference!!.........
That's better. Dealing with here and now, you agree it's cruel to let nature step in and let animals suffer. The ONLY way to achieve that is to keep the numbers down and maintain a healthy population, correct?
Your options are now poisoning or hunting. The latter is more humane with less envirmental impact. Vast majority of hunters use the meat or re-introduce into the food chain, taking rabbits as an example - no different from an animal takin them in the first place, but keeping pop healthy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dude, your head is so far up your arse! Animals suffer more in the hands of you effing hunters. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND! HUMANS WERE THE LAST TO BE ADDED TO THIS PLANET, AND HUMANS WILL BEE THE FIRST TO GO!, BECAUSE HUMANS HAVE FUCKED IT ALL UP BY INTERFERING.
Are you a farmer?, My brother-in-law is a pig farmer, He's a BASTARD TO.
bloody nice rifle bolt action ar15 bet there ent many custom rifle like that out there, you shud get a gun lamp to go on top of ur scope thats wot i got on me airgun
what's with this glazlad tosser, he seems just to be out to piss shooting people off!! plus he lives north of he border in scoootland which makes it doubly worse!!
For anyone that doesn't know, Robert Bucknell has a book out "Foxing with Lamp and Rifle", it's an excellent read for any fox shooter. Very good video, I enjoyed that a lot.
Alot of people say that this man is a fox expert....never heard so much trollop in all my life...there is no such thing as a fox expert,sure the guy is a nice guy. I have always been taught and its true, if you think your an expert on foxes, your wrong there will always be another that will do something that confuses the hell out of you. always learning no matter how long you have been shooting them.

@rigers0109 Are pheasants not a wild bird? Surely then they are for anyone to take?
kaeso100 1 year ago
@rigers0109 I bet the dead fox is abit upset also.And if there are other foxes they will be abit upset about losing 1000's of pheasants to some weekend warriors.I mourn the loss of all the wild apex preditors that once lived on these Isles.Anihilated by ......weekend warriors no doubt.

He's basically just someone who shoots a lot of foxes, but he wrote a book, does some talks at BASC meetings etc, and writes a monthly column in Sporting Shooter magazine. Knows his stuff, but one of those people who would hate to be called an 'expert'.

@funkybuck Well i lived in rural new york state as well as north carolina nad texas and can tell u frm personal experience the average moron with a rifle looking to shoot a squirrel/even a buck for its antlers is nothing more than a coward/sociopath.people who hunt for meat/tradition r one thing-the average yocal yank who shoots critters for fun starts by stomping on insects/frogs as a youngster.critter killing and killing non game animlas for fun is listed under sociopathic behavior.now go away

@funkybuck look ur right there are good and bad everywhere and there are obviously some moral hunters in the US who shoot game for sustenance etc but in gen the average yocal with a .22 that shoots critters for blood is a sociopath. thats why amercan kids bring guns to school, off one another for fun etc. look at the murder rates amongs even white populations in the US vs ireland and UK. americans are mad. sure i used some hyperbole but come on mate u r in denial bc ur wife is american

@kingbradderz I own several guns, and have once killed an animal, I have actually killed more creatures just by walking, driving and sleeping than I have by using a weapon. Guns are inanimate and do not have free will, the users kill via the power of the gun, the gun just does what it's told.
For future reference, it's Karma.

nice gun and set up, seems to know what he is talking about, but i wouldnt handle a firearm as he does, not vey safe putting a gun over your shoulder with bolt and magazine in place even though there is no bullets in the rifle.
I always follow safety precautions always point gun towards the ground when not in use and never never hang it over your shoulder.
what do others tink, or am i being to cautious.

I shot a lovely fox on Saturday, good 10kgs nice winter coat using 264 that is 6.5x57mm Mauser. He was sprinting down hill and had just crossed a forestry road when I nailed him. Found him lay in the snow, after he had skidded a good one and half meters! Great shot, instant death! The coat was hardly damaged, point of impact slightly high around the midrift but still in the boiler room, just below the spine. I am using hand loaded Hornady round nose 160gr. Fast and flat shooting.

My target AR with an 11:1 twist using 45gr Barnes Varmint Grenades will take out fox and coyote at 300 with ease, my average is distance is 150 - 200 yards. I shoot them in the head so there's no followup shot needed to dispatch a hurt or injured animal.

cheezeeatingborg 3 years ago
In the UK, we are advised to use .222, .223 or 22-250 on Fox. .22 RF to be used on rabbit or Hare (Jack Rabbit). In Scotland you can use a .222 ect with 50gr + projectile on Roe Deer but not in England!
mrspenn1611 3 years ago
certain deer in england can be shot with a caliber less than 243 which is the advised minimum for roe,fallow, seeker deer etc muntjac can be shot in england with a 22 caliber
jnewton177 2 years ago
I would never use .22LR on fox. It simply is not powerful enough unless you're shooting at very close range. The minimum I would use is .17 HMR.

I was going to ask what caliber the rifle was, but it's .223 - is that legal to use off the range? I assume it is! I was aware that .22/250 and .22 hornet are legal to use, but I wasn't aware that 5.56mm was. Very interesting!
I'm not going to lie, we have used our .303 Lee Enfield No1. Mk3* on geese before, but that was with the farmer's permission, and with the knowledge that it would stay a secret!

People like you, mad typer, are one of many people who are morally lazy. you take some high moral stance like anti fox hunting, so you don't have to make any difficult moral descisions. in Australia there is no problem for shooting foxes, because they are completely fucking up our native wild life. but you would say we shouldn't shoot foxes, but what about the native wildlife that becomes extinct because of them. life is about making agonizing moral descisions like kill this animal, save another

And your reason for not ending it all can't be to 'fight the good fight' because you'd arm yourself with more facts than anecdotal assumptions. If you want to bring change, don't waste time ranting here and polarising people against your thinking. Lead by example and win people over with the benefits. My reality is an organic smallholding.

As a serious comment to your point, Madtyper, it's an unfortunate fact of life that anything classed as vermin has to be controlled. The reason for this is they will continue to breed around a food source until that is exhausted and they starve to death, or their numbers get so high that mother nature steps in and cuts the numbers with disease.
Shooting them is the most humane way of maintaining a balance, especially when you have an experienced professional behind the rifle.

Humans are the vermin!, we had a natural balance until human intervention, so
left alone nature will sort it self out!.
What gives you the right to take another life!, Tell me whats the most humane way of keeping the human numbers down?, By shooting the old, the weak, or are the people at the top not doing that already by poisoning you and alike, or are you a Reptilion?!.

madtyper 3 years ago
Oh you poor, deluded fellow. Have you ever seen 'natural balance' up close and personal? Have you any idea how long a diseased animal takes to die? If you like, I'll let you know next time the farm is hit by mixy and you can help me put 100+ blind rabbits, too sick to move, out of their misery. Better still, try actually living your vegetarian utopia without pest control. You'll lose 50% of your crop, and the average life expectancy of a laying chicken is a couple of weeks.

madtyper 3 years ago
That's better. Dealing with here and now, you agree it's cruel to let nature step in and let animals suffer. The ONLY way to achieve that is to keep the numbers down and maintain a healthy population, correct?
Your options are now poisoning or hunting. The latter is more humane with less envirmental impact. Vast majority of hunters use the meat or re-introduce into the food chain, taking rabbits as an example - no different from an animal takin them in the first place, but keeping pop healthy.
