HUNT CAMP MAIL: July 2022

[@anthonymedeck7081]

Good old Levi deserves the bs award. You are exactly correct on flat base v boat tail, although each particular rifle might shoot one or the other better. My 7mm definitely like flat base.

[@markr5132]

Thank you for being most important in my high BCBS Syndrome Disease recovery. I now have plans to sell my 6.5CM for a 7mm-08 and developing my hunting skills @ responsible distances.

[@markr5132]

@@adamshaw8214 BCBS = Ballistic Coefficient Bullshit. I should have added Obsession to that.

[@markr5132]

@@adamshaw8214 Thanks for the advise! I'm a high power rifle rookie, even though I have been a gun guy for years. So, going to keep the 6.5, as I should walk before I try to run. want to shoot and learn my rifle/scope a multitude of distances. This leading up to some hunting wolves in the future, to try and help out some ranchers, and hunters who have been overly effected by the run away wolf populations. Happy hunting Adam.

[@craigschaefer8764]

Appreciate your answer on the O/U question. I had always heard that shooting the bottom barrel first was correct, but I never knew why.

[@luvtahandload7692]

Another great and interesting HCM, Dog! Good luck on your safari. We'll be looking for you on the cover of Sports Afield magazine in about 3 months. 😀

[@Redevil667]

Have a great time in Zimbabwe Desert Dog!

[@NCWoodlandRoamer]

Don’t ever worry about any of your videos running too long! This was another great episode. That’s really too bad about Wyoming and Montana. I love it out there and it’s a big dream of mine to hunt out there even if it’s just once in my lifetime.

[@22vampyre]

Great advice on Camille’s question about bullet weights! 👍👍👍

[@Dale37]

Desert Dog, hunt camp mail is my favorite video of the month. You can make it three hours long and I would still watch them.

[@YellowHammer26]

Another informative camp mail. I really enjoy listening to all your answers to the questions each month they have been really helpful to me and I’m sure to others also. Hope your African trip goes well.👍👍

[@paulharding1621]

Many thanks DD for your comments on my annealing question. I have immediately stopped using that batch of brass. Must admit I scared myself somewhat when I saw the cracks in a couple of case.

[@kirkhiggins3044]

Just bought a Ruger 77 Hawkeye left hand in .30-06. One of my bucket list rifles. Hoping to get to the range tomorrow. Super excited to have found this rifle.

[@cgarrand78]

I bought a Ruger M77 Hawkeye FTW Hunter in .30-06 about 5 years ago and it's unbelievably accurate.My son has adopted it and it is all he will deer hunt with now.I hope you enjoy yours as much as we do ours.

[@jasonmarquez5776]

How did your Ruger 77 do at the range?

[@kirkhiggins3044]

@@jasonmarquez5776 I had to go out of town for a wedding so taking it out this Sunday.

[@dansaver8247]

Good production and information. Thank you.

[@fox123456789ish]

Definitely do that video on packing for a more remote and difficult Africa hunt. I would love to see the difference between the two, but most especially since I would like to plan a hunt like that!

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

I will definitely do that.

[@cokercreekcathey1291]

Good show sir I believe you are wise in the hunting world thanks for your work and sharing

[@Paughco]

Great illustration on the beginning.

[@ryanmoeller3308]

Love watching your video's good sir! Let me know if you ever make it back down to Arizona! I live in Yuma and we have AMAZING Quail and Dove hunting! We also have GREAT Coyote, Javelina, Bobcat and Fox hunting. It'd be awesome to hunt with ya! Keep up the GREAT work good sir! 👍👍

[@borkwoof696]

Fantastic content as always!

[@johnmollet2637]

Have a great hunt DD. Be safe!

[@luvtahandload7692]

Paul from the UK may have another issue besides annealing regarding his .416 Rem Mag brass. If he's getting premature case head separation, he might have a minimum spec FL size die and a maximum spec rifle chamber.

[@anthonymedeck7081]

Like your show. With the gal from Poland, I would also have mentioned that accuracy should be checked while deciding on what grain bullets to use. If she likes the Nosler brand that she mentioned in the 06, I would personally be more concerned with finding out if a particular grain bullet from the 150’s to the 180’s shot the best groups. They all will pretty much get the job done within 300 yards so pick the most accurate.

[@clapton924]

I can't imagine having to ship ammo to a FFL!

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

It's stupid, and a PITA

[@nasseraliazadi9809]

To our friend Mark from Kansas, my friend the most important thing in holding any equipment such as a gun is in the stance, leg positioning, correct your stance and the rest of the bodey will be corrected, best regards.

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

It was easier to direct them to a video I already did on the subject; "Off hand shooting for the hunter".

[@pabloco091]

I've a large selection of flat based projectiles that I promise you dont wanna stand in front of that barn mate. Just because your folks say it's ok to be stupid, it's not really

[@nasseraliazadi9809]

What i meen is, if you are right hand shooter your left leg should be in front and put 70% of your bodey weight on your front leg and take the recoil with your back leg!

[@craneyguy]

God’s speed dog of the desert on your trip. Have a good trip and maybe you will harvest a animal to boot.

[@azbushrat]

Love your videos!! But Sorry...as a life long Arizona resident and hunter I like the fact we limit out of state hunters to 10 percent. It is hard enough for us locals to get drawn now with the massive influx of new residents without having to compete with out of state applicants. Here in Arizona all the game is funded by the state game and fish not the federal government. The land itself is federal but any game management happens with the state game and fish. The game belongs to the state not the land owner and that includes the federal lands. I cannot shoot game that is on my land without a state tag. It works the same for federal lands. You are correct that federal lands are taken care of by federal dollars. But everyone can enjoy those lands anytime...it is not just limited to Arizona state residents. But the water tanks and game management is done by the state game and fish with state dollars. Even if there is federal subsidies that doesn't mean non-residents get those benefits. Just like local schools and even local governments get federal dollars doesn't mean non-residents are entitled to those services.

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

Last year, Arizona fish and wildlife made a total of $46 million from Arizona residents. But, they recieved $54 million from Federal Pittman funds, and an additional $35 million in federal grants. The lions-share of funding is from out of state. On the topic of Wyoming; 77% of all Wyoming fish and wildlife license revenue came from non-resident hunters. Their fish and game department will be gutted.

[@WillyK51]

Was in WY last month and they do not care for outsiders, Lots of nice folks BUT. One of the greatest rodeo week in the US and they are gladly send you on your way out, As far as Cheney, she is more Dem than Rep, guess won't be reelected

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

Unfortunately, 77% of Wyoming hunting license revenue comes from non-resident hunters. Gutting their game department doesn't seem like a good idea, especially when game populations are very healthy.
