Pest controller Simon Grimmer is after rabbits and foxes at a livery yard in Surrey, close to the M25 motorway. The rabbits damage pasture and risk injuring the horses, while the foxes are creating a health hazard around the buildings. Simon is using two Sako rifles for the job: a .17HMR and a .223, both fitted with night vision. He shoots a few rabbits, then looks for a fox – and shoots one that’s retrieving one of his rabbits.
