Outstanding historical treatment, as always Desert Dog. I have a .40 S&W P229 made in West Germany, and to my taste and hand, it's flawless. Heavy piece of iron, though! It's perplexing that LE Agencies expend the time and effort to select a weapon, then a few years later maybe switch to something else, and then at a later date perhaps go back to their original choice. Makes one think that perhaps some "Consideration" changed hands, or maybe not.

Thanks for sharing the barrel cooler info.

What light and mount is that?

Perfect timing on a subject that needed to be covered. Thanks

Super blades, I bought one from Himalayan Imports several years ago, I was surprised by the quality of the blade considering the inexpensive price I paid, it was incredibly sharp when I received it. I was concerned the edge would chip or 'roll over' with heavy use. I had some small Mesquite trees in my yard that I wanted to remove so I went at them with my Khukuri I was surprise at how well it chopped considering the Mesquite is quite hard and there was no deformation of the edge at all, not even a single nick or chip. And the edge was still razor sharp when I was done.

Got my leupold VX-5HD cds-zl2 on sale for 1000 so far it's decent except the windage knob is pretty cheap and fell off

Why did you need a rail? Why not some Talley one piece bases / rings?

Good stuff ❤

You make some excellent points about hunting and hunting scopes. Your points about weight vs durability are especially important. I’m encouraged that you think Trijicon is a good choice. I reside and hunt in Virginia where the whitetail population is huge and tag limits are generous. Mostly I hunt hilly terrain. You might not be able to see deer from thirty yards if you’re in a tree stand; because the laurel thickets are very dense. Sometimes the opportunities are long; just seldom. I asked a salesman at a large retailer if they had Trijicon. I’ve used an AccuPoint often in a 1-4. He asked a good question about what I was putting it on. I told him 6 ARC; and then he was focused on the long range potential of the cartridge. Even though I said my shots are as close as twenty feet and out to two hundred fifty yards, he was excited to show me a 4-25 scope priced around $2,300. That scope meets the capabilities of the cartridge; but it’s not appropriate for the task at hand. My hunting just isn’t long range shooting.

Desert dog. Whats woth the weatherby 307. Is it not just a vanguard?

95% of my hunting is done with fixed parallax scopes. Run a Maven RS2 2-10x38 on my ultralight 25-06ai & 280ai rifles, and that scope has served me well out west in the midwest and back home in the southeast on both guns so cant complain.

Brilliant. Greetings from South Africa.

My go to bullets are the lighter ttsx ,and hornady interlock sst boat tail

Cold steel Bowie machete is the stoutest knife I have ever owned

I have a CVA Scout just like yours in .35 Whelen. I use it for Primitive whitetail deer hunting in Louisiana. I have been using the 180 Grain Barnes TTSX since it was new, and they have performed great at 2977 f.p.s. Edited to add: I know a 180-grain bullet isn't ideal in a .35 whelen. However, I only shoot out to 250 yards and the 180 grain Barnes is easy for me to find.

I must have well over 100 knives, yet still grab my Buck 110 that I have had for over 40 years for actual hunting applications. But hey, the rest look great in their sheaths. !

Great video. I have the now discontinued Remington 7600 35 Whelan Carbine that I use down here in Victoria Australia for hound hunting large sambar deer. I also have a Tikka T3X 9.3x62. But I like the compact and fast handling nature of the 7600. It's also ideal for pigs up North. For hound hunters after the 30/06 the 35 Whelan has always been popular on sambar deer. Although for the past 10 years the 9.3x62 has also become very popular. Thanks for sharing!

I remember the year 2000 I had bought my first sks.A full Russian with all matching numbers.Wished I still had it.Anyways.1000 rds of wolf ammo was $100!

Great finally a honest straight forward advice

What's a 'bowie knife'? Well, I dunno, but I know one when I see it... Many thanks to USSC Justice Potter Stewart in Jacobellis v Ohio 1964...🤣

Keep using the term “Utard”. It keeps people out of my state. Nothing to see here. Nothing to hunt here. Move along.

First time l read hunt camp mail,now I gotta read em all

Many thanks for your clear instructions! Very very useful!!!

In a saturated shilled media environment, this is one of the few video resources I can give unqualified praise; the combination of practical experience and historical reference is ace (the book recommendation videos remain my favorite and I hope you keep up with them periodically). A QRD on what a Newsom Presidential candidacy from a hunter/2A perspective might be helpful in these spheres if that materialized between now and November.

Your content is more than worthy for my subscription. Honestly my favorite firearms channel. No tactical BS , no talking out of your butt … its from actual hunting experience. I appreciate you also being honest and speaking out against long-distance target shooting at animals. God bless you and yours.

The comparison is helpful, thanks. But Accraglass is hardly ever used anymore? Really?

Looking forward to the reloading video. Good man

Sound advice……Hammer makes an awesome bullet too !!!

Good morning, I know you don't like sharing reload data. But what powder were you using? When you loaded your 250 grain TTSx's. ?

That is some sound advice !

Hi there DD is there and email address that Hunt Camp Mail goodies can be sent to ?

I see that Ron Spomer got a new Weatherby rifle and was shooting groups. He got, and most of us get flyers. What's with the 'flyer' business? What causes that? Music for the memes was good.

Lol Desert Dog made Brian from Texas sound worse then Joe Biden during the debates 🤣🤣🤣

Excellent video knowledge is power listen and learn.. 👍😉

Call me ignorant but what are 805's?

Awesome video! Desert dog you had so many excellent answers for a lot of great questions. I really enjoyed you, discussing the incompetence, of the DNR and how they misappropriate funds. I live in Kansas, and wildlife, and Parks is absolutely destroying our wildlife populations. All they want to do is receive more money so they can blow it on stupid shit. And I absolutely loved your comments and bringing to light the weaknesses of the crappy model 700 chambered in the 416 Remington magnum. A great rifle when chambered for a 308 but It’s hard to believe that such an awesome cartridge was born and paired with such an inferior rifle. It makes you wonder what would’ve happened if Winchester hadn’t chambered the model 70 for it? It’s almost like those two were made for each other.

Thank you very much for this episode… very informative on a variety of topics.. I must obtain some of these African hunting books by the men you mentioned…. Be safe and stay away from the woke molasses 🤦‍♂️… it’s worse than covid. New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦

Leupold VX-5HD 2-10x40 on Talley rings fits this rifle, just.

The only magnum I own is a pre 64 model 70 in .300 H&H. I bought it in Newfoundland years ago when a “.300 magnum” was advertised in a local paper. It was a late 1950s rifle that reportedly was bought by a Bell Island ferry captain. It came with two boxes of Winchester Western cartridges that were bought with the rifle, of which only 8 were fired. It had never had a scope mounted, but I mounted a fixed Leopold 6X in Weaver rings to be period accurate. I’ve shot two NL moose with 190 grain Hornady bullets as that what I had. Bang / flop. I don’t use it often as I don’t need the power and range often but it is a beauty when I need it, or just decide to use it. It is the best handling and shooting pre-64 model 70 that I’ve owned and I’ve owned a few. I tend to favour 180 grain Nosler partitions now @2900 fps which is a moderate load but it shoots amazing and just plain works. Long live the Super .30!!

In the last handful of years there are a lot of new powders that have come to my attention. Since I can't get some of the powders I've used in the past I've had to renew my library of reloading books which list the newer powders.

Pump your brakes bashing chronographs Dog.

Best way to mitigate recoil is to never pull the trigger

I’m very curious as to what D Zone you were hunting that you harvested a Mule Deer Blacktail hybrid? Seems like you were around D6-D8 Zones and I never heard of Blacktail Deer that far inland. Regardless, helluva a buck! Huge fork by any State’s standards.

Would love to hear more about the optic (Aimpoint 9000?) on the .505; how it's holding up to recoil, what range are you comfortable with, etc, etc. Also would like to see a "History & Relevance" vid on the 505. Thanks again for the time and effort you put into your vids

Hunt camp mail just gets better and better. Triple bullshit button, excellent. 😂😂😂

Well done

Great video, DD. I have a son in Colorado doing load development on a couple of new rifles and I told him to check out your video on the barrel cooler build and he has the items for the build on order. Thank you!

I like that this video is set up as tips here and there instead of a how-to video. Perfect for the novice reloader.

🤔 The Kiss Rule Applies to Government Too (Less is More)! The "Bureaucrats" Look at My Hunting and Fishing Lisences as Just Another "Revenue Stream" and Keep Raising The Price of These, But The Quality of These Continues to Decline! They Legalized Marijuana and Gambling, But My Property Taxes Still Keep Going Up Significantly (Which is Not What They Promised, Is It?)! They Continue To Divert Money Into a Growing "General Fund" (Where They "Self Audit", Use The Money For Their "Pet Projects", and This Portion of The State Budget Keeps Growing Bigger and Has No Real "Oversight"/"Direct Accountability") and The Funding is Taken Out of Programs That The Tax Payer Voted To Fund (For Their "Discretionary Spending")! So, Is This "Representative Government" (Their Version of "Democracy")? 🤥 And, Where is All the Money Going? 🕵️‍♂️ Hummm...I Think You Can Guess Where? 😡 But, Would You Like to Know "Specifically"? 🤯

DD I am picking up a 416 Rigby the first of the month in a CZ that is like new and I am getting it from a friend who owns a family gun shop for years at a steal and my son is asking me if you have ever used your 416 or your 375 for big elk or anything the same size in Africa and if you which bullet do you favor! We hand load and have most bullets are available to us through a old friend who has been reloading almost 70 years and has more powders primers brass then a Cabelas store but has never hunted with the big bores for elk. Any recommendations would be applicated! Thanks again for all your hard work on your videos! Those magazine brought back a lot of memories from years gone by when my sons used to sit on my lap and we would go through the magazines together as I would read them to my sons before going to bed!
