Netflix - MeatEater

[The Heretic]

Pretty good show IMO

Just watched a two part episode where they took a moose on a ten day hunt in the Brooks Range. Fishing a bit, then take a good sized bull on the next to last day.

Seemed to me that if they had radios they could have hunted a bit better.

The host, Steven Rinella, also has a Podcast by the same name.
I've been listening to his podcast for a while and just now started watching the show.
His show is different in that it's not just about the kill. He explains a lot of the reasoning why he hunts, and focuses on the meat that the kill provides.
His podcast covers a range of topics, with a good focus on conservation, and game management.

I like the show, all except the part where he eats a monkey...

Never say never , but as for eating monkeys , they are a little to close my family tree! LOL!

Fun show to watch and vicariously live some of their adventures. I've been to Alaska but I didn't hunt there.

I've been checking it out since I saw your post. He just missed an antelope. He blew the shot & was honest about it. I can relate.

 

[bsa1917hunter]

I like how he's honest about it and shows his hunts even when he doesn't fill his tag... Hunting in some of the units here in Oregon where they only have a 5% hunters success rate, many of us can relate to not getting a critter every year..

Randy newberg has a good show and podcast as well.
Also puts a good amount of content on youtube.

Watching him cook those meatballs and meatloaf made me real, real hungry!

Yes I agree. Big Fin is a cool dude. Not to confuse him with the meat eater guy. Both great gentlemen and extremely good at what they do...

I can't lie, it sucks. That guy bugs the crap out of me. As weird as it sounds, seems like a urban liberal to me.
His use of words for a hunting show are stupid.
Just my opinion.
And THIS IS WHY NETFLIX ALLOWS IT. But most hunting shows blow. Unless Blake Shelton is in it.

In a lot of states you cannot use radios to assist in the taking of a game animal.

 

[Oregonhunter5]

You sure? I've never ever heard that.

 

[BaggerRyder]

Positive.

Well screw the fish and game. I see dudes using super cubs to track and push game.they get reported. Fish and game didn't do crap

 

[No_Regerts]

I bought his book which is mostly about how to keep an appreciation of your food through hunting, trapping and fishing. A lot of the book talks about his upbringing and learning to put food on the table.

 

[BaggerRyder]

It would be impossible to be-able to tell if someone was sitting on a knob glassing and telling someone else down in the canyon where the animal was, what it was doing etc. unless F&G walked up on you if you were hunting in a state that designates it as illegal or... If you have a TV show that shows you doing it.

I actually wondered the same thing during the moose hunt episode and a Mule deer episode.

I was listening to an older Meat Eater podcast on the way to work this morning and Steven mentioned it during a conversation about drone laws and aircraft laws.

I also feel like it used to be in the Oregon Reg's years ago. But can't find it now.

That I know you cannot do in a number of states - no comms between ground and aircraft - at least not about game. Except maybe for predators with bounties.

I am sure that it is probably okay in places like Alaska to communicate with aircraft regarding supplies/etc. - but not about tracking game, at least not on the same day as you are hunting.

Yeah a friend told me about this show and I've been just watched everything within a couple days very addicting and well-thought-out
