I love this. I'm from the Fens in the UK, where my ancestors lived a similar, albeit harder, existence: Wildfowling, hunting, trapping birds and eels, peat and gault digging. Those things are gone, or all but gone now. A bygone age. I miss it, even though I was never alive to witness it.
Ive been thinking for years “man i wish meateater did at least one episode about south louisiana” and now theres a whole series based literally 5 minutes away from my house. This is awesome!
I recommend www.sportmanammunition.com/best place to find ammo l just order some 9mm 223 556 from them and received my package was thinking of sharing their site with others
I love this series! its better than the original meat eater! I like how these guys incorporate drinking while filming at the camp. Cajun food is by far the best food in the world. We take the best of what the world has and put our Cajun spin on it. Camp life is such an important part of our culture along with food. Good job showcasing all of that! You guys need to get Jay to drink hard liquor on at least one of the next episodes! lol
The meat eater crew could make a documentary on curtains and oven cleaner and I’d watch it. What ever they touch turns to gold.Oh and his parents seem so cool. Nice people all round.
Love this series. Im from Bayou Cane. Its an outskirt of Houma. Grew up with my grandparents in the marsh and at the camp. The best memories in life. Hope this series continues.
I grew up a Greenwing, my father heavily in DU and a guide we hunted every season hard, I’m 28 now and still goin strong here in North Florida where we hunt the gulf, but in my youth around 11 we went for a few days to stay on a house boat with a friend when we got a great deal on a guided package he put up for the silent auction at the Florida state DU convention banquet dinner night. Those few days were really special killing bull canvasback, a drake mallard, some other species as well. We shot some nutria rats as well, just such a cool place. I have fond memories of the place when thousands of ducks could be seen flying, there were multiple house boats on the mouth of this river where it met the coast, I can’t remember the name, someone else might know exactly where I’m talking about. But the one I was on could hold several men and then there was at least several of them. Duck camp is a magical place, and the coast has the most. Personally I’m fine here though, we have plenty of ducks close at home and we got our own style here in North Florida and I’ll keep the waterfowlin tradition alive in the Big Bend baby, nature coast keepin it natural.
Remember being in Louisiana and the waitress claimed rice came from Africa...and I laughed as my Native American ancestors have been harvesting wild rice for 10s of thousands of years before any African ever set foot on the continent
I love it how his boys are giving him shit. Especially at the end where they were cracking on his ability to talk about a recipe and the camera just keeps rolling.
Been going to South Saskatchewan for almost 40 yrs from N. Il. Never had meals like this or great blues. Some of the best duck, goose and crane hunting ever. Also have seen whopping crane several times.
The things that stick out to me most about hunting memories and nostalgia are the people, location, and camp... And what a cool ass camp these guys got! Amazing 👍
I live in Maine There is a strong Acadian presence in that the Quebec culture is a predominant influence on the success and positive part of Maine’s culture One of my influences and mentors of fishing and hunting is a Guimod and taught me a lot He also helped me appreciate the culture of the Franco American culture I’d hang out with you guys any time and be proud to be there Hell I would buy the beer lol
Hungarian descent here from the northeast…more specifically Bethlehem, PA where Grandfather worked in the steel mill..cool to hear that other areas eat Kolache…for us it’s a holiday sweet treat but would love to try a savory version!
Been a fan of the Meat Eater for a lil while now...up until now Das Boat has been my favorite side project but this..THIS right here hits to my soul! All ya boys sound like my uncles from Shreveport and Galveston...this is special! Keep it up bruh!
These guy are from my home town. I hunted bayou black and Gibson, La area since I was a kid. Buddies of mine still has leases down there! Great video, great food, great people, and BETTER Times!
Thank you Steve for bringing your TH-cam channel full circle for me. My momma is full on Cajun. She passed during Katrina. Her final days were on a humble Cajun home on the bayou. Crawfish étouffée, turtle Fricassee, chicken and boudin gumbo. In the mid ‘70’s I remember paddling thru bayou Teche with my daddy and grandpa. Snakes dropping into the Pirogue from the trees. Catching crawfish and cat fish in the crawfish traps. My grandfather nailing the catfish to a tree and using pliers to skin them. Oh yea, the mosquitos; 4 would hold me down and 1 would suck my blood 🤣. I miss my Cajun my heritage. Btw, in New Iberia I have a cousin T-Boy! Laissez les bons temps rouler! Edit: I knew you was my Spirit Animal when you put that bottle of Makers Mark in ur cart 🥰. Btw, I got in-laws and outlaws that work at the Tabasco plant there on Avery Island that always hook this brother up when I’m in town 😃👍🏻.
I love how local and hospitable this feels. I haven't visited Louisiana yet, but I feel like I've already been welcomed to the table and served amazing meal at someone's family home.
This intro gave me goosebumps, the cinematography and editing are fantastic. Great job. Think I have watched the intro now a hundred times and counting.
This video captures the experience of a long standing family/friends hunt incredibly well. Starting with preparations for camp, rubbing each other for missteps, and continuing into late night camp moments. It was incredibly real and "mostly" unedited, although, I know at least one sombitch got their ass peeled out of bed begrudgingly in the AM. Great job to all parties involved, very well done. Cheers boys.
I’m old enough to remember these episodes 5 months ago on Mossy Oak, anyone else? Would love to see this as a repeat show. Glad to see it getting come much better traction here! 🦆 💥 🥘
This might be my favorite thing MeatEater puts out besides the actual show
Don't forget the podcast.... that is super informative
@@rustyshackleford8149 You must be a government clone. Sh-Sh-Sha
It’s good but Cal in the field tops it just.
Facts, best thing without Steve they have done
100% agreed
This is why I love my Louisiana.
what an amazing production quality and story, wish we could portray wildlife cooking and harvesting like this throughout the USA.....especially WI
We agree BA! Thank you for tuning in!
That's awesome you southern boys at duck camp sound like us pa boys at deer and bear camp doing it right👍👍👍
bear camp you say huh!?!?
opening was straight out of true detective season one unreal job

Thank you! Heck of a compliment.
MeatEater just gets better and better
Nah kinda
Glad to hear it !
Get that man a podcast.

Little Debbie done had too many of her own snacks she's known as Big Deborah now
Rewatching Duck Camp Dinners for about the 5th time. By far the best series MeatEater puts out in my opinion.
I love watching this whole series for inspiration around the hog hunting camp here in Texas ⛺️ 🏕

He’s not allowed
Meateater is all things good and pure within hunting and conservation. Love the show. Every episode is wholesome.
I’m the cook at our duck camp(actually all our camps) I am so excited about this series. I to love buying the groceries
its the best right!
Some of those dudes were toasted by the end! LOL
Slightly! Lol
Just “calibrated” lol
The meat eater crew could make a documentary on curtains and oven cleaner and I’d watch it. What ever they touch turns to gold.Oh and his parents seem so cool. Nice people all round.
Haha! We should put that to the test!
This is the best meateater video yet.
💪💪💪
Love this series. Im from Bayou Cane. Its an outskirt of Houma. Grew up with my grandparents in the marsh and at the camp. The best memories in life. Hope this series continues.
thats where a couple of the crew are from. We just wanted to represent the La community proudly!
Being from a small town in south Louisiana myself, this is by far my favorite content meat eater has put out!
thank you!
As someone from Louisiana I love this!! This is gonna be a great series! C’est bon!
this makes me smile!
Y'all aint ready....lmao
put that on a T son!

I don’t give a a damn about duck hunting.
I’m hooked after the intro. Well done.
Thank you!
One minute in and I'm hooked, Jean Paul should make some more appearances
Agreed , charisma enough
Wow. I'm partial to Cajun culture and that accent, so this is right down my alley. Nice concept for a new show! Really well done.
thank you dude. stay tuned!
Remember being in Louisiana and the waitress claimed rice came from Africa...and I laughed as my Native American ancestors have been harvesting wild rice for 10s of thousands of years before any African ever set foot on the continent
Starting the series over, best thing MeatEater has put out.
Absolutely 💯 amazing
Immediately goes and looks up "standing on shaky ground" . We need this soundtrack! Can dig this series. Them Meateater boys dont miss.
I live in Northern Michigan but have a weird fascination with the Cajun lifestyle, your channel is very interesting and well done.
I live in the heart of Cajun country. Can't wait for duck season
love it when the subtitles kick in 🤣
This is every weekend at the camp I go to always good food, lots of beer, and good company.
Delbert at the duck camp is a winner!
the vibes in these people are amazing
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
This is the best life a man can live! awesome
He has a nice voice and he is exciting he is probably the closest to steven rinella
thats high praise. appreciate that!
I’m not gonna lie, this really excites me! There is nothing better than a cooking delicious meal for your hunting buddies at camp!
Brings back good memories for me of a hard days hunt and whippin up a meal while jokin and laughin~
Last time I was this early, Rinella got trichinosis.
Love this show and the music
home sweet home. this episode was visually stunning.
glad you liked it!
Ugh this just reminded me of what I love about South Louisiana. Great people, great food, amazing culture.
Great episode
Whoever picked the music for this knows the bayou and bayou lovers around the world!
I agree! Some great Mississippi delta blues. But would have been amazing to hear some old-time Cajun 2-step 🙂
Who does “shaket ground” in this episode? Best version I’ve heard.
This mans voice is smooth
Thank you!
@@jean-paulbourgeois2871 Damn JP, that was well done sir! You took it to another level. Keep 'em coming!
Like butter on grits

Success! Glad to hear it !
This is what ‘living the dream’ looks like 👌🏻
No doubt JP lives it!
I absolutely love duck camp dinners, also opening music
as a louisiana native this touches my soul
Same here.
especially when everyone lets in on someone for not bringing the chainsaw
Ya this was great. Loved it. Keep them coming
Meateater never lets you down on a lunch break!
Finally some MeatEater on da Bayou! Aww yea sha! Roll dat
Love seeing Louisiana culture. Ain't nothing like it
No place like home !
Seth Rogan laugh at 14:55 had me dying
Me too, every time. 😂
I love seeing good buddies having a great time together. Thats what builds friendships for a lifetime. No women, just guys, hungry, thirsty and funny.
Glad to hear Walt Gabbard get his song out there more. Been years.
I'd never heard it before, it was great! It sounded more funk than country, almost George Clintonesque. I'm gonna check out more of his stuff.
@@jonnyhatter35 he was originally a camera man for the guys at Zink calls just after they started up. No idea what he is doing now.
I believe he’s working for Mossy Oak. Good ol’ Kentucky boy. Go Cats!!
@@ryansturm1141 You'd be correct. More tunes soon! #BBN
love this, more louisiana content from meateater please! its about time!
Thank you for following along Maxx!
Love watching ol' Shawney P dropping that can from his hand like its hot when he sees the camera!
Haha! Good eyes.
Hahaha. Busted!!!
Great. Watching him pull on that stogie when I just quit smoking.
This intro gave me goosebumps, the cinematography and editing are fantastic. Great job. Think I have watched the intro now a hundred times and counting.
Amazing. Thank you so much and I am thrilled you enjoy it! Stay tuned for al 6 episodes and season 2 on the horizon!

I feel like it was a year ago actually. How is Meat Eater reairing this? Maybe they bought it? Idk
You are correct it was. Will be producing for meat eater going forward.
@@SPLITREED that’s awesome 👍
Dang does Walt Gabbard get my blood pumping every time!
I grew up in Houma, LA, and the second I heard him say Bourgeois Meat Market, I knew he was legit.
The boys roasting buddy at the end was the best 😂
This was ridiculously good. Need to have that bush cook out from the normal episodes
