Technically if you hit it in the right place it will go down. Should you take the shot? No way. If it ran off injured (which it would more than half the time) you could be letting yourself in for a load of animal cruelty issues. 

As grey foxes aren't native to the UK, the video probably wasn't taken in this country so the air rifle might have been way over the 12ft/lb limit here. 

Even then whoever posted it needs a kick up the arse as it's irresponsible and doesn't show the quarry the respect it deserves.

Right tool for the right job - and that isn't.

I watched a video on YouTube they took down a grey fox with 22 pcp air rifle with a heart shot 

That means nothing, plenty of FAC .22PCP and some VERY powerful.

Just the same, I get enough flack from many saying a .22LR isn't up to the job and you need a centrefire (they don't have a clue though).

Yes, it will :yes:

 

But, your camo has to be very good.

 ......... You have to rub fox shit on your boots and, sit very still in a bush and make very quiet chicken noises. When the fox comes along, you whack him over the head with the stock end of the rifle.

For obvious reasons, you're better off not using a rifle that has a floating barrel.

 

It's actually cheaper than shooting rabbits because you can leave your pellets at home :thumbs:

Would you say the .25 gun is heavier than the .177 ??
