Just saw yesterday folks hunting armored catfish in rivers in Texas. Apparently, only the biggest ones have enough meat to be worth dressing so it may not be up their alley, but it is the rare invasive species that is a legitimate nuisance from an economic and infrastructure point of view so maybe they’d be up for it from that angle.
I just love how when you get up close to a turkey you can really see all those colors come out of the feathers. It's almost like a oil slick on water and changes from different angles.
I couldn’t agree more. I was born and raised big island, and there’s something special about the hunt with dogs. The old episode with Steven hunting dogs in Hawaii was legendary cuz he was out of his element.
You guys are killing me. Still 20 days to wait. Just got my wife to agree to a dawn bird watching **cough cough scout mission cough cough** to our local BLM nature preserve. I can't wait to hear the goobles and pin down the current roost locations of some beard draggers who got the best of me last year.
They were a traditional meal at feasts in Europe before turkeys were brought over from the Americas. Very lean so you need to stuff or cover them with fatty meat to drake it good from what I have read.
Nice job on the peacock. Plenty of them here in New Zealand. Considered a pest. Hunt as many as you want when you want where you want. My lab is good at flushing and retrieving them. Good meat also!
we had a local game farm/zoo near Central WI when i was growing up. they had Peacocks on the grounds and would get out and wander frequently. sometimes youd see the male peacock with the group of turkeys in the spring. I saw a Tom display his fan to the ladies then right after the Male peacock, said basically "oh yeah.... watch this" and then displayed his fan. It was quite funny to see. Was a totally unnatural thing to see in Wisconsin.
Growing up in Kona - I’ve never set up for turkey since they are everywhere- usually while hunting for pigs and feral sheep or goats - if a turkey was close by I’d take one or 2 usually made sausages or stew
Odds are that peacock is older than many of the turkeys most hunters get. To get a full tail, peacocks are usually 3 yrs old. Most toms are 2 years old when harvested. I raised peafowl for years. There really isn't much meat on them.
Id eat a peafowl! Man expensive though! Like couple hundred a bird. And we did try to hatch them. Only had 2 ever hatch and both died in a week. Humidity has to be perfect in the incubator I believe. Not sure exactly but a guess. Not as easy as chickens guineas turkeys quail or any other thing we tried in incubator. lol Also I thought you were going to hunt jungle fowl. As in the origins of modern chickens. Great show! Loved it! :D
@@donkeysaurusrex7881 Cant say disappointed but do know where I could be. More like where is jungle fowl? Oh must be calling peacock jungle fowl? Mislead but still cool!
Brah no one liked go peacock hunt with me this last season haha such a sick bird to chase. I throughly Turkey season was cancelled this year tho? Maybe just Oahu or you get private
Love the videos ... one thing with this one... two really bad hats. what the crap guys? come on you need better hats. Second, the cam guy was a one trick pony. That focus on the front and then move the focus to the back shot, probably went to that 50 times in this video alone. could have shot this way better with an iphone. great information and fun to watch. never thought to eat a peacock (fowl), but now im ready to go.
Cal the correct term is *naturalised*. An animal is introduced to a new area but doesn't become invasive, meerly existing in the new ecosystem rather than out compete native species. Endemic means an animal or plant ONLY found in one location on the planet.
An old landlord of mine had peacocks on the property. I swear they were the dumbest birds I have ever met, and their calls sounded like a screaming child. I can totally understand why that women strangled one
Meat Eater is already in the Late Adam Sandler phase of its career progression. Where all the locations for new media are set with the intention of vacationing with their friends and having the company pay for it. While it must be very nice for the employees and company, for the average hunter, these constant private land and guided hunts are not entertaining, or why I found Meat Eater enjoyable in the first place. I'm happy for Steve and the boys but it's just falling short lately.
I always found their focus on public land hunting weird. I have never known anyone who did that. I like the more out of the way stuff at least partly because I think whitetail deer are overdone on hunting shows. If you’re going to do normal stuff do squirrels and rabbits once in a while.
Man you know the state of hunting is going in the shitter when meat eater goes from all public land diy completely doable by the average guy hunts to almost entirely private land privately owned game ranches where only the rich and elite can do in the last 2 years
we have a peocock problem here in the upper florida keys, they are considered invasive so you can hunt them... come on down and hunt them with me in a urban island setting lol
Cal in the field is a top MeatEater series and always entertaining and informative. Would love to see some fresh water underwater spearing.

By spearfishing I should clarify.
Cal and Clay, great reps of the Outdoor experience

Cal gives MeatEater credibility. 5 stars.
😂😂😂 the shell casing bouncing off the pavement got me
It’s too bad I can’t like this video multiple times, excellent!
I’m from Hawaii guys live in Oregon now love seeing your videos of hunting and gathering need more hogs and dogs n of course more Ulua fishing 💪🏽
What’s ulua?

Wow! Gives new meaning to, " I got close to a Jake today. " Special moment!
Cal giving off jurassic park vibes when he's taking about clever birds 😂
I stay big island. Been here 14 years. Turkeys every day. Just go up mauka anywhere is kona. Great video as always guys.
Cal is the best. Amazing hunt!
Awesome video! Would love to see Steve come back and you guys go after peacock / peafowl, pigs, axis deer and sheep again!
Danny is awesome !!
Love all your episodes in Hawaii 😍👍
Great video Cal and Meateater crew you all do a great job every single video, not sure how you always top the last video but you always do!
Hope you save some of those feathers for fly tying Cal. Cool to see you bag one of those peacocks!
So glad they tried a peacock! I've seen a few feral ones where I live and have wondered
Just found Cal in the field the other night and can't get enough.
Peacock eggs are a hearty meal in of itself. Cool hunt and several more things to go hunt on the Hawaiian islands.
A peacock omelette sounds pretty good

@@donkeysaurusrex7881 I'm dislexic and jonesong for a hunt. Don't be hating on a brother.
love seeing Cal. Steve and Cal were my favourite duo in most episodes, not that steve ever had any chumps around. Just cant complain about more Cal!
“Look how many eyeballs I got!” Freaking great line lol
This is my favorite combo! Cal is the best!!
Yall should do a lot more shows with Danny and O'Cal
Peacock on the menu now 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Lived in Kona for years, we have turkeys walking all overs.
New drinking game. Take a shot every time Cal says "Right" when explaining something...youll be drunk pretty early, right?
Nice job on the peacock. Plenty of them here in New Zealand. Considered a pest. Hunt as many as you want when you want where you want. My lab is good at flushing and retrieving them. Good meat also!
Favorite episode hands down. Depicts what this show and Steve is all about. Without him even being there
Cool. Peacock like pheasant
I literally just bought my crossbow spring turkey tag yesterday... it must be fate
We have some feral peacocks getting around my area in australia.
I always felt like they were the drag queens of birds.
Excellent video.
fun fact: when the Spanish got to the new world they called turkes "pavos" which is also spanish for peacock!
We got peacocks in florida. They are fair game on private and public. They are considered feral.
How do they taste is the real question.
@@Jefestephens like turkey

Does Steve even leave the house anymore?
He’s long been a recluse. The guy in the videos is just an actor the real Steve Rinella hired to play himself.

how fantastic!!!!!!
How come they charge the decoy but not each other when they approach in groups like they do some times…?
Turkey said: DUDE.... wtf???
😂😂😂
Did he just say introduced turkeys are “endemic”? 😂

There`s a party goin on somewhere.... 😊 Yesterday and today fishing for German Walley....
Cal needs to get into fly tying!
If ever there was a full body mount to make, peacock would be on the top of the list
It would take up more space than a full body moose.
You must have some tiny moose there donkeysuarurex
@@robertbenitz1815 Have you see a peacock’s tail?
Music while shooting the Jake?
Id eat a peafowl! Man expensive though! Like couple hundred a bird. And we did try to hatch them. Only had 2 ever hatch and both died in a week. Humidity has to be perfect in the incubator I believe. Not sure exactly but a guess. Not as easy as chickens guineas turkeys quail or any other thing we tried in incubator. lol
Also I thought you were going to hunt jungle fowl. As in the origins of modern chickens.
Great show! Loved it! :D
I clicked on it hoping to see them blasting chickens and acting like they were real game birds. Very disappointed.
@@donkeysaurusrex7881 Cant say disappointed but do know where I could be. More like where is jungle fowl? Oh must be calling peacock jungle fowl? Mislead but still cool!
I see them plucking that peacock and think "wow that's like 10,000 flies I could tie"......
Cal's heavy rain is my light drizzle. Maybe the downpour doesn't come through on video?
We need an episode with Cal & Clay ! Heck, throw Brent in too !
:D :D Should have sit up and yelled BOOO! :D
Where is the place look nice 👍
Just wondering what is growing on the trees looks like a coffee Bean maybe
yes coffee bean for sure
He says coffee at 11:20 and 15:30
Brah no one liked go peacock hunt with me this last season haha such a sick bird to chase. I throughly Turkey season was cancelled this year tho? Maybe just Oahu or you get private
Open on big island. Good luck this year
The first peacock i have ever seen killed thanks to Cal, great video
Lived in Waikoloa, we had turkeys living in the area use to see them getting attacked by Mongoose funniest dam thing i ever saw
I saw two lobsters fight in the tank at a restaurant today, but mongoose vs Turkey sounds even better.
Cal you gonna get the peacock stuffed !??
Fashion pheasants
Plenty of fly material with that peefowl

SHOCKINGLY, Cal missed the message as usual. 🙃👍💯💯💯
An actual jungle fowl is the chicken, in the orient. But still a good show.
That got me too. I thought it was going to be a jungle fowl episode. Not fowl in the jungle. Still cool
That looks like some good meat. It looks better than turkey and chicken

Ok why can't you shoot a peacock on the big island ?

I agree with you whole heartedly.
Well that’s just like your opinion man
Womp womp
This shows Cool but it’s not practical hunting for the average man
If you live in Hawaii it is more practical than whitetail, elk, black bear, moose, or anything else on the mainland.
@@donkeysaurusrex7881 I’m speaking the show in general the places they go and animals they hunt all paid for by the network
