I've watched lots of backfire videos. This is the first time I have watched a hunting video on here. This was awesome! Thanks, guys!

I hope you continue to do these subscriber hunt opportunities, I’d love to catch one of the next ones. Also the video format was perfect, love this style of hunting vids!

I just got back from Mexico. What a great trip and already booking for next year. Took my own rifle and drove down, had no issues. Great video

4:38 did he eject a live round? Buck fever got him! 😂

Hi Jim. Love the channel and always look forward to new videos. You do some great work.
As a European it’s always difficult for me to get my head around the American way of hunting. In Europe we concentrate on getting close and making a single shot to be as ethical as possible and to preserve as much meat as we can.
Keep up the good work and looking forward to more content 👍🏼

As someone who is just about to start hunting, this video is great. Would love to see more

I think that Blaser likes you Jim… r8 is the current version. Beretta has a straight pull rifle that is going against the Blaser r8. Other companies that has the straight pull rifles are browning (marakal), merkel (rx helix) and strasser. Thank you for showing your adventures

Awesome! Jim put me on to Tate's booking service, and he saved me a lot of time and money on a South African safari. He's a really great guy to work with. I recommend him.

Awesome video! All the rifle reviews and this is like the capstone of all that shooting and review.

Looks like you all did well. Nothing bad about a tie. Thanks for sharing.

What a great video! Looked like an incredible few days in Mexico with some great kills! Those aoudad were massive! Keep the great content coming!

[drakeventures]

This is a classic example of guys that just shoot and guys that really hunt

[richhansen]

This was a nice change and very entertaining!

If you like straight pulls but hate the crazy price tag of a Blaser (laughably overprized if you ask me), take a look at the Heym SR30

I do get the difficult to obtain ammo issue, but with 5 shots on Aoudad, 5 on elk, 3 on javelina, and 3 on deer (16 shots) and only 7 animals down, it seems like it might’ve been more efficient (and cheaper) to just sight them in earlier with all that ammo…

Even if Blasers will come to the US market one day, they will still be extremely expensive.
I live in Germany, where Blasers are made. The cheapest Blaser you can get here is around 3300 € which is equal to ~3600 USD.
However, that's just the basic version. If you want a thumbhole stock, a wooden stock or anything else that exxceeds your absolute basic needs, prices will start at 4000€+.
Honestly, they build very good guns, but they are not worth the money. If you want a well made German straight pull rifle, just get a Heym SR30, it's far less expensive (still not exactly cheap, though).
Or you could just get the Beretta straight pull rifle for under 2000 €. It's a very good rifle as well.

Great video loved the format, looking forward to more

I have my Blaser r93 in 8, 5x63 Reb. Great rifle.

Super nice video. Love the hunting content. Love the Blaser R8 in the video. An Ultimate with 18" oder 20" would have made it even better. I really would love to see more Blaser or Merkel guns. Maybe one day you have one :)
