Press to jump
- 0:08The host unboxes his Winchester .17 WSM rimfire rifle.
- 1:16Several rimfire cartridges are compared in a pumpkin-shooting test.
- 4:48The rifle heads into the woods for a squirrel hunt.
- 8:08A promotional ground-blind demonstration precedes the soybean-field groundhog hunt.
- 15:47Night-vision equipment and an electronic caller come out for the coyote attempt; the outcome comes after 17:05.
The pumpkins get the first test, before BLOCKETH OUTDOORS takes its new Winchester .17 WSM into the field. Several rimfire cartridges get a turn in the comparison, giving the week's only upload a hands-on opening rather than leaving the rifle's billing to the box.
"Hunting with the World's Most Powerful Rimfire!" reached roughly 154,000 views and is the channel's busiest video right now. The superlative is the host's description, but his verdict on its usefulness isn't uniformly enthusiastic. After the squirrel hunt, he says plainly: ".17 WSM for squirrels, I don't recommend it."
The outing then moves to groundhogs in a harvested soybean field and a nighttime attempt to call coyotes. It also includes a promotional segment for a TideWe ground blind. In the comments, the opening has viewers making repeated comparisons to Kentucky Ballistics; others are requesting pheasant hunts and more videos featuring unusual ammunition.
Beyond the new rifle, two food-and-shelter challenges remain active: "I Survived 24 Hours on a Tiny Island," filmed on the Wisconsin River, and "Eating Only What I Hunt for 24 Hours!" Both continue adding thousands of views a day, keeping the survival side of the channel in the picture.
The audience grew by about 3,000 subscribers over the week, while daily viewing is running above its usual level. Among nearby outdoor channels, Ethan Heinrichs had a particularly big viewing week; Canada in the Rough was quieter. BLOCKETH OUTDOORS' own week brought more weekly views than most of that group, with its new rifle outing now supplying the largest daily contribution.
