Tell what you think is the most rugged rifle scope for lots of knocking around hard use and stand up to .416 rem mag and light weight 35 whelen AI. I’ve always used leupold 2.5, 1-4, 3x9, 1.5-5, 1.75-6. And now I just ordered a leupold vx6-2-12x42.

Hey DD! I’m pretty happy to be one of the 4,000 viewers. Over the years I’ve come to really appreciate your common sense approach to a hobby I really enjoy. It impresses me as to the depth of your knowledge on so many aspects of hunting and shooting. Your advice on equipment has never let me down. It was you who finally gave me the much needed nudge to make a safari hunt happen in 2026. I also wanted to thank you for reading my letter on HCM. You are much appreciated DD. Paul from WV.

Thank you very much for the past four years of Hunt Camp. Running across your channel, looking for reviews on Barnes bullets, was an amazing stroke of good luck. Having you read my letter on your first episode of Hunt Camp Mail was a true gift. I wish you manny years!

[@edwardabrams4972]

DD your story about the guy that was able to get back into hunting was a twin to mine! A drunk driver hit me head on at 60 mph they figure and I was going 30 when I hit him so you figure the combination speed😱 I was on the operating table 7 1/2 hours and had my total neck fused with an 8” inch plate in the back and a 6” inch plate behind my windpipe on the front of my spine😳 All held together with 29 screws into my spine. I am able to walk but I take lots of oxi and strong nerve meds and strong muscle relaxers so I can move around and even go hunting with my boys. My family has been around hunting our last 4 generation now and my father was even into the John Nosler partitions in the 50’s and 60’s when John and Bob had their store in Ashland oregon. Each day is a joy if you make it so! My father died from doing the things he like to do and that’s the way I am going too. I hunted the next day after I gave his funeral talk knowing that’s what he would have wanted. The last year he hunted he was on morphine and a catheter and you could hear him going through the forest sloshing pee bags and all sporting one of the first 30-378’s that came out. I am told that with my neck everytime I fire a rifle it might be my last I say bring it on and what a way to go🙌

[@Paughco]

Thank you for posting your Hunt Camp Mail - one of the highlights at the end of each month. Awright! an appearance by Swamp Dog! Yeah, probably we don't need to see him too often, but it's good to know he's still out there. His joke reminded me of something: Know the difference between cowboy boots and engineer boots? Well, with cowby boots, all the bullshit is on the outside!

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

Hahaha. I love it.

Good 😊 Hunt camp I miss listening to Rush

I think I saw Swamp Doggie in Norco. He must have a second home there

Although he would feel comfortable in Norco, he wouldn't last long with the endless supply of meth there.

That letter impacted me as well.

[@robertagusti3712]

Exelent as alway.

[@jake9705]

The best hunt camp moment was when Desert Dog warned us to "never put engineers in charge of ANYTHING!" Having worked with 100's of top-level engineers for 25 years... that's the truth 😂

[@williamfeldner9356]

That did not work out well for Boeing.

[@jake9705]

​@@williamfeldner9356 -- Boeing is a special case because the engineers *and* the suits are morons 😂 At least that's what I saw while contracting for their satellite and defense divisions.

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

@williamfeldner9356 - The current president/CEO is an engineer and they are still having issues. Dennis Mullenburg is an engineer, and he was the Boeing CEO that oversaw the whole 737 debacle and his tenure was riddled with scandal and quality issues. Engineer and CEO Harry Stonecipher was responsible for the 787 quality issues and as fired after 2 years for his conduct. The best CEO boeing ever had (James McNerney Jr.) was not an engineer.

Hi DD, Here’s a question. Do you really have relatives from Louisiana like cousin Swampy? As a 1/2 Cajun, born and raised on the bayous in S. Louisiana, I have to say Swampy’s accent is is pretty good. However his turn of phrase is what brings it home with realism. Swampy’s got the old & current local lingo too. And I don’t just mean the obvious stuff everyone on higher ground in the US learned through Troy and family on “Swamp People.” From previous videos you’ve shared some family ancestors through your grandfather’s side back to Idaho. Has the other side’s bloodline paddled up against the flow from the Big Muddy’s delta and crossed the continental divide to reach you? You must have a close friend or family connection to pull it off so well. Do tell.😁 Love your work, JD

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

@@j.dalemorgan2975 My mother's side have been established in Idaho for almost 150 years. My father's side is from the Morgan City area; straight Acadiana.

[@j.dalemorgan2975]

🤣😂 I KNEW IT!! No one can be that good without the genes or listening to that accent from a parent growing up. I’m born in Lafayette, grew up in Baton Rouge, and now live in Oz after meeting an Aussie at LSU. My kids love to pay me out mimicking my accent in front of their friends and family here. Thanks for replying with an answer. Long Live SWAMPY and good hunting to all his kin!👍🏻
