- In this episode, MeatEater's Janis Putelis joins his father, Janis Putelis Jr. on the family property in south central Wisconsin to hunt rutting whitetails with archery equipment. Although Janis has hunted this place nearly his entire life, he's never given it the full court-press during the rut. The lifelong relationship with the land spurs memories of hunts past. Janis's early mentors weigh in with anecdotes of his early hunting days. #vortexpartner

Yes! Papa Janis's wisdom is always welcome! Keep it coming!
I like how Janis' voice over is settling into a more natural sound as he is getting used to the role of being the main host/character on the episode. I'm loving all this youtube content with Janis and Cal and the more peripheral crew.
I think he is a producer as well. So host/hunter/ producer
Papa Janis is my favorite! He gives me a look inside as to what I strive to be as a hunter as well as a father!
My father introduced me to hunting in a local public land forest when I was 10 or 11. We still hunt together in the same block. There's no place I would rather be... The sentiments in this video hit hard. Fantastic content!
Janis's "special top secret" assignments are the best keep it up! :)
Episodes with family just hit different. Love the episodes that truly capture the reasons most hunters take to the woods.
I enjoy these videos with Janis more than the Netflix episodes! Please keep them coming
Papa Janis is a great human being who has raised some great kids. So happy to see him in another video.
My family is from Croatia 🇭🇷 grew up hunting with fellow Croats, this brings back memories of my childhood watching your family 👍
What set up is this he is using?
This brings back so many memories from growing up in deer camp with my grandpa and my dad. Great episode, one of the best yet!
This video speaks to me so closely. As someone who grew up hunting north-central Wisconsin, we now have a cabin on just 10 acres, but surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of public land. I relate to the MeatEater team so closely that the invitation is open to join our deer camp any time. God bless.
Pumped to see Janis using a saddle! I'm giving it a try this year myself. We had 80 degrees the afternoon before the MN firearm opener last year and I sat bow hunting in it, tough conditions to deal with. But I love too that this episode captures what hunting means to a lot of us northern whitetail hunters - not the arduous pursuit of game across vast expanses of the West, but of the pleasure of hunting with friends and family on a small patch of familiar ground.
I’m with you here. I get to hunt with my brother and uncle in my parent’s land in MN. It’s a small strip of land but we have success every year. That last opening forearm weekend was crazy warm. First time we had to work super fast to butcher the deer since it was 70 degrees!
Great this is the second time meateater as made me cry I miss you Dad r.i.p. we will hunt again together one day gone to soon man.
Glad to see papa Janis again!!!!!! More!!!!!!! So much wisdom
Fantastic episode! The moments we get spending what we love to do with those we love is what life is all about, this episode captured that beautifully. Well done.
Not only do I love meat eater but love watching Janis also, great video man
Agreed Steve and/or Janis content is great to watch. Please keep it coming.
HOOLY CRUD! AMAZING episode…listening to Papa Janis talk about his son in the beginning brought tears to my eyes
That’s the best part of these series, knowing the history and biography of these hosts. Bring on more!👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼
I really enjoy any time Papa Janis is in an episode. You see where Janis Jr gets his positive demeanor.
My grandmother was from Latvia. I wish I had asked/learned more about Latvian culture when she was alive. I perk up any time I see or hear someone speaking Latvian. Janis and Papa Janis are the best!
It’s cool to see everyone around you believed in you from the beginning. Keep it up.
Old man P!!!!! Glad he's back. Tell him to keep it up!
I love the humor and wisdom of the "old man." I recommend more of this, as possible. Good show...enjoyed it.
I want to find a Latvian bakery & buy me some of those bacon perogi's. Truly enjoyed this episode, takes me way back to my hunting roots. My family emigrated from Eastern Europe as well, they used to do the shot of whiskey thing, & also put a little branch with leaves in the bucks mouth after the kill. The old generation in my family has passed, was nice to see Papa Janis enjoying the woods.
Putting these videos at the top of my feed right away is pretty much he only thing the TH-cam algorythm gets right.
Always love the wisconsin episodes a little more than the rest!
This make me miss my dad….
Me too

Thats exactly what I'm hoping, for my boys to be like me but better
Loving this content meat eater crew brings some real nostalgia and so cool to see all the mentors
Hi from Syracuse NY everyone and I enjoy the meat eater program
Rich Evans should have been a special guest in this episode, his star power would have given you guys hundreds of millions of views.
Always like watching vids with the latvian eagle. God bless father and son Yanis.
Such a heartwarming video and absolutely fantastic editing and score, very well done.
Bro I've watched every episode on Netflix 20 times I didn't even know there was a TH-cam so much videos mind 🤯
Really like seeing other guys go through the motions on deer in range... THAT is what runs the ice through the veins guys and gals..
skip the limb cutting and you might see a deer while you set up...use the tether to keep yourself attached to the tree while you move your linemans belt over the limb.
also love the show and stopped everything to watch a whitetail video from meateater
Hunting used to be more about the people. Now it's more about the deer. Pretty good job capturing that. We've reached a true crossroads when it comes to ego. I like to think we humans learn from our mistakes and as hunters navigating todays circumstances we've made some. Humanity is super complicated.
I loved this video. I remember all the guys getting ready to go to camp and not being able to go. Until one year when I was 12, I talked my dad into taking me out bow hunting. I killed my first buck that sit. I was able to join hunting camp that year and every year after. It was the week I counted down to every year. I learned so much each year, still do to this day.
I grew up in Wisconsin and these accents get me every time. “Oh eh ya know I was out on open’n day there, big ol white tail came prancin out of the thicket, real beaut”
But you vacation in northern wisco, hunt central and eastern. Going to do give my try at bow hunting this year. I love this content
Love that this is in Ol' Wisco! I learned to hunt as kid in southeastern Wisconsin
This was amazing in so many ways. Bravo!
The best channel!! Wish I could hunt with these men!
Great episode from a fellow South Western Wisconsin hunter. Interesting to hear the discussion about the warm weather last fall. It's been worse this rut with even warmer temps the last three weeks.
Best intro to a video I’ve watched all year papa Janis!
That’s a great video thank you ! For me I love the wisdom they have - all the best 🦌
Great video. Love Poppa Janis.............
That's awesome as my dad passed away last year just before bow season wish I had one more day to hunt with him enjoy it
bro dropped the wisest words of wisdom ive heard in the first minute
They are IDENTICAL
My dad introduced me to hunting when I was really young and I still love it
Great video evolution of mentor and hunter where the hunter becomes somewhat of a mentor.
Great job! Really enjoyed the spirit of this episode. Watching folks not fill their tag is encouraging to me. Makes me want to stay out there longer.
Papa Janis just makes me happy :)))))
My dad used to tell me....." A bad day hunting is better than a good day at work." Hard to argue with that. My grandfather took me on my first hunt. I was maybe 5 years old. I couldn't keep up so he carried me on his shoulders. The dogs put a big bear up a tree and they shot him. He fell into a fork in the tree about 20 feet up in the tree. I remember standing next to the tree looking into the bears eyes and the blood dripping from his mouth hit the tree trunk just above ny head sprinkling blood on my face. I've had a special place in my heart for bears ever since.
These are moments I never got the opportunity to share with my dad that I hope to one day share with my son
Thanks for the great content you are putting out. Keep em' coming.
As a guy from Wisconsin that hunts the drift less I loved this episode. Cept I would have smoked that fork lol
Papa Jani! I need some Latvian magic incantations.
Neat to see the difference in behavior of a young buck and an older buck.
Ive never clicked on a meateater vid so fast
People in Wisconsin are the nicest.
Love these shows . keep them coming boys
Great story! The old timers taught us well!
This is so much me, in my childhood, just in Latvia, Viesīte! Thanks for sharing this!
I’m always waiting for the next meateater hunts
Really enjoyed this guy's, thank you!
I remember this day in wisconsin last year, i decided not to go out since it was so warm, had the buck I was after on every camera that day! Of course
Freakin' LOVE this, guys. Special stuff
The
"Bump and dump" sounds like a nocturnal activity in the bed room,
More than a hunting technique. 😂Hahahaha
Wow! Meat Eater white tail hunt! Hopefully more to come.
You are in my state let’s go
Rocking the Tethrd saddle system!! Love mine
Amazing episode
Enjoy your parents/father while you still have them because in the blink of an eye they will be gone. I lost my dad in 2017 and think about him every single day miss him dearly. He watched me in my younger years grow into a great bowhunter which was around the time when compound bows transitioned from old style round cams to the faster, harder shooting, hatchet cam bows that finally broke the threshold of a 300 fps compound. I was around 25 yrs young when this revolution happened and I literally slaughtered them like shooting fish in a barrel. My dad got to bear witness to some of the most amazing shots on deer with a bow that he had ever seen. Comments like "My God son how did you do that?" After a shot on a big doe crossing the field at 70+ yards from my tree stand in an open field edge. She went less than 50 yards and piled up no tracking required. I will be 53 in November and I have now resorted to using a crossbow during bow season as I can barely draw a 60# compound bow and can't hold it at full draw for more than a minute.
"Been hunting now for about 45 years "
👍from Poland🇵🇱
thanks Guys!!
Loved this episode, keep em coming.
Pre rut is a great time to hunt, people underestimate whitetail
I’m still chasing my Dad’s legacy!!!
With that ad halfway through it seems like every other hunting show now. Soon it will be guns, hunting stands etc.
love the channel!!!
Saludos amigos desde Atlanta GA ya me empiezo a cansar pero mientras tenga fuerzas ire de cacería
I always tweet like a bird to get them to stop. It only makes sense with you being in a tree haha
Excellent dude keep them coming
In estonian pirags are called pirukad. Also filled with onions and ground beef or veg. But bacon is a much better filling
HOLY FUCK. 3 seconds in and... Papa Putelis!!! Strap me in, I am going for the ride.
Goodnight Steven Rinella
Me chamo Gleibson sou um grande admirador do seu trabalho e da suas aventuras em ar livres, cara tenho um grande sonho em um dia se Deus permitir eu realizar ir em uma dessa aventuras mais top das galáxias com você.. já vi todas as series no Netflix, moro no Brasil mais preciso em Goiás no interior chamado Guapó. Eu não sei se você vai ler esta mensagem mais obrigado por trazer grades aventuras de qualidade pra eu sonhar com lugares mais lindos que já mais saberei se vou ir lá um dia...valeu mesmo. Um grande abraço.
Gleibson, get your tourist visa and we’ll get you on a public land hunt in Minnesota next year. Perhaps Steve or Janis will join us.
Very cool video man you couldn't pay me to stay in a treestand like that I need comfort while waiting for deer
PAPA JANIS!!!!!!!!
Thank you that was great!
“You gotta conjure.” 🤣
Nem todas as caçadas ti da a certeza de que você vai abater o animal, paciência 👍👍👍
I’ve got mixed feelings after watching this .. I appreciate all the knowledge that is being shared but on top of this I feel like there’s so much going to waste weather it be fishing or hunting and can’t help but imagine the people that dedicated there lives to something , perfected it but had no one to pass it on too
Wonderful episode
I am not a hunter, but the camerawork is awesome!
Great stuff!!!
Holy shit they are so incredibly similar... even the gestures and the mimic.... very strange :D
Gawwwd darnit !!!! If you don't love papa Janis and Jan than its definitely your problem
Great episode!
Yo, I just saw you on Joe Rogan. Keep up the good work 👍
