I SHOT IT: Rare European Black Fox || 17HMR || HIKMICRO TQ50

The European red fox was introduced into Australia in 1870s for recreational hunting. Fast forward to 2022 and they are one of our worst invasive pest species. Foxes have contributed to regional declines and extinctions of a wide range of native animals, particularly among medium-sized ground-dwelling and semi-arboreal mammals, ground-nesting birds and freshwater turtles. As a result they are a targeted animal for a vertebrate pest control contract shooter such as myself.

The black fox shot in this video is a European red fox. But they can revert to a trait of the silver fox this being a 0.1% chance. It is not a cross breed with a domestic dog or anything odd like that. This is just a very rare genetic throwback making the animal black.

This is an educational video displaying the effectiveness of thermal hunting equipment used during professional night hunting on controlled private property.

On this particular night I'm running my Lithgow LA101 chambered in 17HMR, 20gr Hornady XTP ammo. The device on the rig is a HIKMICRO TQ50 👌
