Texas Hog Hunting w/ Brody Henderson and Alvin Dedeaux | S1E05 | MeatEater Hunts

- MeatEater's Senior Hunting Editor Brody Henderson heads south to hunt feral pigs with his good friend Alvin Dedeaux. The guys start their trip with a visit to the YETI Flagship Store in downtown Austin, Texas to speak at a Backcountry Hunters and Anglers event. After their short trip to the city, it's time to start looking for hogs on a local ranch. Alvin is a long-time fishing guide who just recently completed his hunter safety course, while Brody has been hunting his whole life. An experienced non-local guiding an inexperienced local is not an optimal situation, but time spent with a good friend exploring a new part of the country sounds like a recipe for a damn good time to us.

Thanks you guys for making this happen. Brody and I have been talking about doing this for years. Can't wait til next time.
If y'all ever need another spot, I got one about 100 miles south of Austin. Private land, low fence and the best part, FREE. Also, night hog hunts are a blast with nothing more than some green lights and rifles. Awesome video guys, keep em coming!
@@MrJhobbs92 Keep in touch. We will be giving it another try at some point.
@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing For sure brother, I Dm'd you on Instagram.
Excellent video. Wish you got a pig but worth the watch. Idk if u have a channel ill look but if u do you got a sub
Edit: you do and I did
I wish you success on your next endeavor. Thank you for documenting this experience.
As an African American Hunter is great to see others taking to the sport. I meet alot of people in the woods, always nice and respectful but in my 6 years plus of hunting only met 1 other black guy. So hopefully this episode makes more people feel welcomed to be outdoors and enjoying nature and filling their freezers with healthy clean meat.
Think after black folks seeing the movie "Surviving The Game" with Ice T they don't wanna get close to guns or especially the bushes! :-0

I fish & 🦀 and very much want to hunt i watch all the hunters and gathers videos and podcasts one day I'll be able to hunt my father fed us muskrat, fish turtle rabbit and other wild game I've cook it all from Bear to swordfish
White hunters want more people in the Conservation efforts . Furthering other people's understanding and realizing it's not something that's supposed to be political or racial . All Humans came from hunting .
And populations need to be balanced, the human diet needs more nutrient dense wild game.
Hey Its true we are not that many! :) That's why I started my channel, to inspire others too. If you like my content, please help me share the words! th-cam.com/users/WildBushGrit

Man meat eater has got to be one of the best outdoors shows ever created. Really shows you what it mean to be a hunter. I hope they never stop making shows
Wish they were at least a hour long show I freakin love these shows
@rusclemania7 7 actually man-eater is me😈
I was about to say, the use of a comma would have help the beginning of your post haha
@@adriancole8676 I understand where ur coming from with that, but I think the 22 minute episodes are prime. Easy to binge watch and you don't ever have to stop watching half way through an episode to go do stuff. Also easier for non-hunters to enjoy this way, as every episode is packed with amazing content every minute, and I think we can all agree that the more people that learn about hunting, the better.
It'd be cool if they had like one 1hour episode per season tho, I'd be on-board with that
"Man meat eater..." vs "Man, meat eater... " 😳
“The outdoors is my church.”
Amen, brother.
Amen!
Agreed. On the water or in the woods is a spiritual experience. Brings me closer to Papa and His creation. Thank you Papa for loving me!!
Thank u Alvin for showing that there are men that look like me that enjoy and respect the outdoors the way that I do much respect from the 502 ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I’m right there with you 💪🏾
Check out adventure bro show a very dear friend of mine. Local to texas
Two of my favorite dudes ever featured on Meateater. Bring Alvin back for more adventures in the future!!
Looks like MeatEater is SaladEater after this hunt
LOL!😂
😂😂😂
Plz bring Steve rinella next time y’all wanna eat Lmaoooo
Hog backstraps marinated in Dale’s meat marinade is one of the best wild game experiences I’ve ever had. Happened in TX, made a non TXn kid feel TXn. Whattaburger on the way home was the cherry on top
"Toss a couple of rocks down and see if anything moves" made me cackle. If you've hunted in hill country, you've been there.
That's upland bird hunting without a dog in a nutshell.
@@schottiey aka me every quail season
The very first Meateater I watched (maybe something in series 3 or 4?) I was immediately connecting because it gave a realistic connection to my own experience. Most of my hunts are not shooting stuff. Most hunts I fire the rifle once, and that is 3/4 of the way through the hunt. The getting ready, long drives bumping up river beds, scoping a place, setting up camp, dehydrated meals, camaraderie, lots of looking, walking and talking quietly, bumping the odd animal, seeing one too far away or finding the animal I want has an animal I don't want between us, the shooting on dark, the long nights, I could go on but that is what I experience. Meateater is the only show giving me what I see as a realistic experience. This episode gave me one as well, I occasionally am involved in this type of hunt, an easy hunting ground with the plan to "blood in" a new comer, with a species/opportunity that isn't a major if you blow it. This did have the complication that there was no experience on the terrain or the species, 2 large complications for taking a novice, but I guarantee Alvin is not disappointed his attitude is all about the experience. Well done and thankyou Meateater, keeping your hunts connected with actual hunting experiences.
Hey Bob, thanks for that comment. You got it exactly right. There were so many moments that I will never forget about this hunt. Can't wait until the next one.
Wait... Did... Did MeatEater just become my favorite channel on TH-cam... I think it did 🤯🥲🙌🏾
I love hunting & when I'm not hunting, I love watching shows like Meat Eater.
Really 😩? Where are women like you located? 🤦🏾♂️
Morning coffee watching new episodes of Meateater Hunts, that's how I know it's gunna be a good day
I love that this show doesn't shy away from these types of hunts. You see everything you can't shoot, and miss out on what you can. The lows help make the highs and there's always something to learn.
Welcome to Texas hog hunting. Some days it’s like you can’t keep them out from in front of you. And sometimes you can’t buy a sight of one. I did notice the heavy breathing after the shot. I sure hope that was from the sheer excitement of getting a shot off and the opportunity, even a rushed shot. It still gets me. I’ve been at it for 35 years. I hope it never gets old. And glad to see y’all getting a little more of an understanding of Texas hunting. You can do it any way you like. Still, blind, stand, or over bait. And still not always get the lady.
Alvin seems like a good dude. As a fellow newbie to hunting, I hope to see more of his journey
Thanks for the honesty of this channel! shows me, nobody is beyond making that mistake.
Some of the best times are learning with a good friend. Thank you myle.
This makes me appreciate Steve so much more.
So often on these hunter shows, I am humbled by watching the "masters". In this case, its nice to see the pros try something new and go through the learning process themselves. As a CA pig hunter, I can tell you that pig hunting is hard, and I usually get 1 harvest for every 6-7 hunt days. Pig hunting is mostly jump shooting, and rarely a spot and stalk (in CA we cannot use feeders or hunt at night) which makes it difficult to video and thus I rarely see pig hunting episodes. It was nice to see this one and I thank the team for making it. Throwing rocks into bushes is a common practice for pig hunting, but these two guys figured it out on their own. Nicely done.
Man, I can’t tell you how much I love shows like this. Other shows where they cut to shooting something every 5 mins are boring. MeatEater produces the only hunting show that shows real hunting where the end result is often nothing. The suspense in these are great! Keep trying Alvin!
Thanks so much, I am not going to give up.
Thank you for the compliment, TwoSixSix. It was a lot of time spent behind the camera for me. Alvin and Brody were very patient.
That is what is so good about these videos, just a bunch of guys doing what they love. Great to see stuff like this.
Man I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this. Can't wait til the next time.
We need more of Alvin!
Loved seeing y'all in my neck of the woods! It's pretty country here in Central Texas. Heck of a hunt! Bummer you came up empty-handed, but it's always a great time out, and with lessons learned.
Yep it was a great time, can't wait to do it again.
This was probably on of my all time episodes for many many reasons. Just loved this one. Always wanna see more of this Happening.
You just make me feel that yeah! I should have been there with you guys.... Thumbs up guys... Thanks for sharing these typ of tremendous experience ☺️☺️
Love these videos. Such an accurate representation of hunting. Keep em’ coming!!
Watch all these hunting shows make you appreciate how good Steven is as a host, he may not be the most knowledgeable but he definitely a better story teller.
He is plenty knowledgeable. But agreed, he just has a cadence of speech and vocabulary that lends itself to great hosting ability.
Alvin is such a good sport! Really love me some MeatEater videos! Keep up the good work!
Fuvk yeah finally got a brotha on here!!
I'll be back!
EcoCrat yea but in typical white guy fashion he takes the shot instead of his buddy who has never shot anything
@@country6368 No it was cool, we actually talked about that beforehand. We both agreed if it was going to be a tough shot Brody was going to take it. Brody is solid gold and he was way more bummed than I was about me not getting one. I'm gonna get one though.
Country63 typical white gut fashion? Don’t be an ass. Every experienced hunter I’ve ever been around has been more than willing to let the new guy get the first opportunity.
Alvin do you tie your own flys? If so would be cool to see how you do it?
Meat eater needs more Alvin. Seems like a great guy. I enjoyed the Das Boat with him as well.
That's why it's called HUNTING, good stuff as always! "KEEP ON KEEPIN ON"!!
Exactly!
Nice to see some color on the show! Love this show, great job guy's.
Comradeship is all what matters , enjoying the fellowship with each other is priceless . Till the next hunt , never give up , guys 😊👍
You win some you loose some thanks for sharing guys 👌
Man! Hard to witness, but I've been there myself. Thank you fellas!
Man Texas is beautiful.
And these two guys seem like the nicest people.
Yes, good start to the day.
Honestly Alvin seems like a really cool person.
I really enjoyed this episode. Being a Texas white tail hunter it was good to see someone struggle from the west and see it isn’t always easy down here. There is a huge culture of feeding all year and having your blind 100 yards away and to me that just isn’t fun. Seeing y’all have a hard time reminded me of my first time western hunting. I had no clue what I was doing and it’s totally different. I loved that y’all just tried to spot stalk all day… that’s more fun to me even if you come up with zero! Great video, guys!
you could really watch and listen to Alvin and Brody all day
Aw man thanks!
The next hunt for Alvin will be even more fun. The anticipation will be greater! 👍🏼👍🏼 good to see these vids.
You know it!
I have never had more colorblind experiences than hunting. at the end of the day, we all sit around swapping lies, sharing adult beverages and tobacco, and enjoying each other's company. it's a good life, and always down for more of it. welcome to the club, Alvin.
and with a surname like Dedeaux, I was expecting more of the kind of accent like what I heard growing up in south Louisiana.
Thanks Brian!
This is the only time I'm disappointed in an unsuccessful MeatEater, only because I wanted Alvin to get a pig so badly. Still a great episode and edit.
I'm gonna get on.
This show is awesome because they don’t edit out the reality of hunting...that mistakes are made even amongst seasoned veteran hunters and you don’t always get your target. I think they also learned that Texas hunting isn’t as easy as people believe it to be. The animals are still wild and savvy.
Hog hunting in Texas is so fun
greetings and blessings from Georgia very good videos I am a faithful follower of your videos I like them a lot and I learn a lot both on TH-cam and Netflix I do not speak English but I use a translator to write this thanks for your videos
Dang this is what I love about meateater, they show the successes and the failures, real hunts. When your watching it you never know of it's going to work out so when it does its exciting!
Another great episode!
Big game guiding didn't work out, now take us on a guided fish hunt!!
I believe the first pig jaw they picked up was a Javelina...dirtclod Az.
Love you Alvin!! Hope to book a fishing trip with you out in Texas after quarantine. My grandparents were former children of slaves in southern Texas and I want to tie a fishing trip into with my search for their graves. Ominous but, will be an incredible social and environmental story.
Let me know. My mom and grandparents are buried in our family cemetery in east Texas. We have at least 1 family member buried there who was born a slave. Amazing just to look at her monument.
Alvin Dedeaux Wow.. that’s powerful and thank you for sharing that with me. This trip to Texas has been on my mind for years and finally making it happen. I’ll be in your neck of the woods oct. 29 if you have any availability around then. To be honest , after Alex Kim (former BHA staff) told me about you last year , it’s been a major factor in my decision to get my ass down to Texas.
@@decolonizedmeateater Send me a DM anywhere so we can hook up.
Great episode. I almost teared up to.
That was a mighty fine sika buck at the beginning
Love the video keep the great work up
Im trying to figure out who gave this 47 thumbs down.?? That was a great episode of the ups and downs of the sport. Great job guys
Thanks, you know the old saying, haters gonna hate. 😂
Read two comments up. Old Happy Flappy doesn't think missing animals should happen. Bet old Happy Flappy disliked it. Great video.
You can hear Brody's heart beating after he missed that shot!
We love getting after pigs in the off season here!
That's about how most of my hunts go : )
Great vid Alvin and Brody!
Hey thanks for watching.
awesome video. one of my favorite channels
Great episode.
Awesome video that captures two great friends, spending time together in nature. Good luck on the next hunt and God Bless
Thanks for watching and we are going to give it another try.
@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing is that your TH-cam channel
@@michaelwywiorski2008 Yes that's me!
@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing true i didn't know if it was just someone with your name or what, hows the hunting a year later?
Ive trapped over 12 hogs in my Austin neighborhood and given the meat to a lot of families in the last 2 weeks! Its great meat and I have a freezer full!
What neighborhood is that?
I love seeing black folks in the woods hunting a lot of people think we don’t do it. Love to see it.
Loved this - class
Always been fascinated by the habit of the MeatEater group to hunt without a round in the camber. I get there's the safety aspect, and maybe it's a regional difference. If I hunted without one in the chamber where I'm at, I would have one tremendously difficult time ever shooting anything. Shot opportunities here, especially for whitetail, usually come and go in a few seconds.
MeatEater
Home of the unchambered round
Still hunting with the sun in your face and wind at your back.....what a bunch of scrubs 😂😂😂 then the rookie click for icing on the cake!
Alvin, there is no perfect hunt, not all hunts end with a kill.... best of luck to you on your next hunt
plenty of chitins and cracklings here and don't forget them smoothed pork chops too
Texas is a cool country.
Have always wanted to hunt Texas Pig thanks for the virtual pandemic experience! Sorry you weren’t successful but will make it that much sweeter when you are. That turkey flock was HUGE! Thanks for the content 😁
Thanks for watching. Good times for sure, can't wait to get back outside myself.
This channel is awesome!
Best technique for hog hunting Texas is to put some sour corn out and wait in blind past dark, they’ll show up.
HOLY SHIT A UNICORN 🦄 0:30 ... lol 😆
Can't feel bad about missing a shot like that. I made a big mistake last year and dropped my crossbow and I knew it was probably off zero at that point but I kept hunting anyways and missed a buck at 25 yards
Awesome video! Would climbing a tall tree and glassing from a higher vantage point be a good technique?
I listen to meat eater on headphones at work and he sounds like Steve haha
Yeti/BHA/Meateater event... whose clothing had the most earthy tones
you guys are wholesome as hell
edit: not great speakers infront of an audience though LOL
Half of us are just waiting for you to post a wolf hunt!😂
Crew Clark no kidding! It’s about time.
I’ve been waiting for them to post a wolf hunt for a long time. And I’ll still wait. They’re the best hunts to watch by far.
Ditto, but imagine the backlash from the uninformed.
f5tornadeau Yeah can you elaborate on the ethics of hunting wolves? I see no reason to and it sounds morbid to me.
EcoCrat, wolf populations need to be controlled just like every other predator. They are nothing more than a wild dog that doesn’t know when to stop killing. Nothing wrong with taking a few out in order to keep a healthy landscape.
Welcome to Texas brush hunting! My first hog hunt I stayed up all night. I shot my first hog at 2am by the light of a full moon.
Yeah man might have to get out on a full moon next time.
Alvin Dedeaux I killed my first 3 hogs by the light of moon. If you’re hunting in thick Texas brush you’re almost never gonna sneak up on a hog in daylight. They bed down in the thick and wait until sundown. Sit in a blind with some corn in a sendero and wait. They’ll find it eventually.
@@spencerfoster9192 , it takes access to a place, but stalking and finding hogs while bedded in brush has got to be one of the most fun hunts I have done. Use your binoculars and find little patches of them in amongst the sticks. Getting with them bow range is another matter, as even though they are sleeping, they will still bust you. Especially the mature animals.
That property seems like some prime deer hunting
"Respect tinged with hatred". I'm going to use that...
As a native Texan that's funny as shit... hunter safety course oh, that's what my father did at 10 years old. Taught me the do's and don'ts of a firearm
can't wait
More Cal and more videos like this please meateater
Ouch, that hurt out loud. Skunked
Genial hermanos
Good Job Guys
Lmao 😆 we all do it just not on camera wait I did it on camera 📸🤣
This is like every pig hunt I've done in Texas.
Just realised if it doesn't say kill clean cook then they didn't get anything. Alvin your awesome . gotta be on the show again
Hey thanks, it was an awesome experience.
If he would have had permission to shoot a deer on the first day, imagine his first ever hunt and he gets that massive stag. Crazy
I'm in Texas and have learned the same things about hog behavior. Best thing is to sit at a timed feeder at daybreak or dusk. I have had much success using night vision or thermal optics at night. In some places the hogs are very skittish and other places they're aggressive and come to you
Hey Christopher thanks for watching and thanks for the tips. We are going to give another try for sure.
Thermals? I’m jealous. If anybody wants to buy me one, I’m down to try it.
I need friends to teach me how to hunt. One thing on my bucket list I have to do before I die.
There is a reason we hunt over feeders in Central Texas. If you want to hunt pigs, go out at night.
Oh man, that is hella funny to see. Not having a bullet in the chamber is not a rookie mistake, it seems it only happens to seasoned hunters. I only hunt wild boars in Germany, and in my humble opinion it is almost impossible to stalk up close to them. They are way too smart and are on the alert constantly. Thx for the vid, it was entertaining. Better luck next time!
" Look at us everybody ! " I was expecting them to hold hands at some point.
