I don't even hunt but I find myself watching everything this guy puts out. Steve is a legend and gotta love his perspective and morals on life/hunting.
I use to watch Tim Wells. I was impressed by the amazing shots he could make. Then a friend pointed out that they only show the good shots. Imagine the wounded animals through the years that they didn't show. Kind of changed my perspective on him@@InTheYear
how cal is telling the story of how he shot the buck and how its sync with him saying "bang!" and the footage of him shooting it. insane editing. like a movie
Not being negative, it’s shows like this that have sparked so much interest in hunting. Opening day in Montana and you cannot go anywhere without seeing a sea of orange. From horses, to electric bikes and all the road hunters, it’s nearly impossible to escape.
I'll never forget Steve describing fun... the most fun you can have is those days you suffer and work your ass off. At the time it's not fun but you look back 2 years later and say that was one of the best times I've ever had.
Found myself watching Rinella for some time now, since I decided to become a hunter and actually go to college for Forestry and Hunting in my country... He reminds me of my late Grandfather. Wise, calm and cool, funny and always full of great comments. I find some comfort in watching him. We need more of this series.
Cal reminds me of my stepdad who died 11 years ago. He saved my brother from drowning in a whirlpool near Amanzimtoti. Cal has a similar way of talking and he has a similar face structure. My dad loved hunting- he taught me how to shoot and hunt. It makes me so happy to see there are people like him out there caring about both sides of the game conservation as well as hunting.
Ryan is just suck a great hunting buddy, what a shooter, definitely the man that loves what he does and does it with such calmness and accuracy. Way to go guys, great time
These two guys just have a great way to tell a story, they are humble hunters that want to learn everything about animal and the environment. The photography is amazing, the thing I love I escape with them on the journey, it's not Monday or Sunday, which I unfortunately live to. I've never held a gun before, I've never killed an animal, I go to the supermarket where its wrapped in plastic at a 'special price'. Sad. This series has stopped me supermarket meat shopping, I started going to a local butcher, and built up the courage to ask questions and have a conversation about the meat. It's been a refreshing positive change.
I love the "every year I fail part". LOL. Because fail being more probable than not is the drive that pushes us to continue and Not Fail because we just love the hunt.
You guys always have a great time together. Your areas are so cool that you guys tend to hunt in. Even, public lands are an adventure. Congratulations Ryan on a great mule deer. Better luck with a nice bear before your trip is over. Steve, I hope that you kill a really big mature buck. I will be waiting on your next video. Deer tongue is something that I have never tried. I have learned never to say never.
As a guy who spent a life time thriving on the spirit of brotherhood, Team, camaraderie, esprit de corps, etc:, I know good dudes when I see them. Hanging out with these two for just a couple of days would be extremely rewarding.
She's on point, that wife of yours. His are always my favorite articles in Outside Magazine. Sad to see he started 3yrs too late to be featured in "The Best of Outside: The first 20 years." Guessing they won't print "The Best of Second 20 Years" because it would be subtitled "The Rinella Chronicles." Maybe a "Best of All Time" featuring Rinella, Junger, Frazier, Cahill & Krakauer??? Ah, one can hope!
Kudos to the editor! I was wondering why we don’t get to see Ryan’s bear pursuit while it was happening. Waiting to show the footage during Ryan’s narration was brilliant story telling from the editing room!
I haven’t hunted YET, but oh man. Ryan’s buck I can tell is a very beautiful buck. Holy smokes. Can’t wait for the day I get to have my own hunt! This just fuels the fire for my first
All the shots taken on MeatEater are so clean. Drops them straight down. Some hunting videos on TH-cam, I can see the animal taking weird hits from weird angles suffering bad.
I‘m not an American I’m a German. We got a totally different hunting system here. But the thoughts are the same and I love this type of connection in mindset of hunters all around the world.
Grover. I had a horse called Grover, a 15'3" hand Roan, I took from Narromine to the Innaminka gymkhana rodeo when I was 15. I almost rode time in the bullock ride. The best of times.
I've never hunted, but have always wanted to. I watch all of the Meat Eater videos as soon as they come out. This one has only made my desire to learn to hunt stronger.
@@cusefan5510 i agree, my dad knows a small amount, but my father in-law has helped me quite a bit, I'm hoping for a Turkey hunt next spring, I'm in Texas so in game stuff is pretty limited from what I can tell
@@justine42050 Texas is weird with hunting. It’s almost all privately owned so getting access must be tough. Yeah I don’t have anyone in my family that hunts or is interested in it so tough to get started. I just shoot for now haha
Truly the only and the best hunting video content there is! Thank you for making it easier for us, less articulate people, to get across what hunting actually means! Wonderful
Ryan Callaghan is the man.. I can see why Steve would pass on all but the very best buck on the mountain just to keep the hunt going and spend more time with him.
Callahan is the shit. One day I hope to meet him and hire him for a hunting adventure. He is so calm and collected.....seems like an amazingly centered man. A man that I would like to know.
Cool to see such open and beautiful countryside. I hunt in Bush where you cant see more than 100 feet. So many deer that at night they come into your campsite and during the day they come watch the kids as they collect firewood and play. Shortest walk to catch an animal from camp was 15 feet. Totally different worlds
"Annual exercise in frustration" lol basically describes me and elk hunting. Also, I have an approximate idea where this is; scouted and hunted in this region myself last year. Super epic, super beautiful. Saw plenty of big bucks, and heavily regretted not picking up that tag; only had elk, which I of course struck out on lol
(6:03) holy moly Cal's hairline dropped to his stellar mustache. Nice hunt, I never inform anyone I feed tounge to until they finish it. They always like it until they find out what it is.
I've been hunting Mule deer in Idaho for over 35 years. Big buck every year. I've never worn all that gear though, even when i elk or bear hunt. 1 hat with a slick beanie under, 1 scoped rifle with sling, an LBV with 2x US issue ammo pouches in nylon w/black clips to hold some specialty food, a few extra rounds, and survival essentials, 1qt US issue canteen in the old style vietnam or Korean era canvas issue to protect it. A small FAK on the back of the belt, a rediculous untility knife on belt, another for field dressing on shoulder LBV strap pocket, a fanny pack I can jam my beanie or gloves into when it warms up, 10' of 1/2" nylon rope on the LBV rear top. A bino chest harness attached to the LBV and whatever pistol i'm carrying at the time+ 2 mags.on the belt. And even all that is an overgear for me. Magic numbers 39 & 43. Ryan knows where that is. + my fav boots ofc.
What I find ironic is that as I attained a high skill level with hunting, and the success that goes with that, the less hunting success matters . Same with fishing. I’m just happy to be in a good place, that’s success!
Interesting point about the color phase bears in drier areas. Growing up in northern California almost every bear I've seen has been either brown or blonde have yet to see a red one.
The channel is cool, but it’s just repeated episodes from his Netflix series where his audience is massive and dwarfs the TH-cam channels audience size. Ppl who watch the episodes when they’re released probably saying the same thing. They’re glad to see ppl on TH-cam catching on to how great episodes they’ve already watched are.
@@justine42050 They did have those 2 as reruns, but that was it. Once S7 aired, they removed 3 and 4. Everything before 7 was initially aired on the Sportsman channel. He's loading them here so people who don't have Sportsman can watch them for free. My point is, a lot of people didn't get to see these because they were on a channel that not a lot of people get. Only seasons 7-9 are Netflix now.
My favorite piece of beef is the tongue, boiled with an onion, some garlic, and a bay leaf. (I cut the tongue in three equal parts, poke holes in the tongue, and put a few slivers of garlic in the holes) I boil it for 45 minutes to an hour, then slice a line down the top side of the tongue and peel off the thick skin, it comes off easily while it's still hot. By far the tastiest, and the most tender piece of beef. Sprinkle with salt after it's cooked. Great in tacos with a squeeze of lemon or in a burrito. Mmmm, lengua!
Man when he said, "when you touch the trigger the hunt's done". I felt a little sad inside. Although now its almost time for GA archery season and ive got that excitement inside me again. Ive got good spots this year but I hope i let a few small ones walk first.
That muley at 3:00 feels so typical. Sometimes you can go to L.T. reservoir and see them in huge open featureless praries of med to high sagebrush, or hike up a ridge in the morning above Anderson Ranch Res. and rest with your back against a tree and glass and wait until they move to the sunny side of the mountain about 10Am to warm up about the 1st-2nd week of October. It's paradise for 5x5+ muleys 150-200 yard shots, drag it down to the road and get home and have it hung and skinned before dark. ez pz lemon squeezy.
I’ve seen sow/cub groups in Glacier, Tetons, lots of places, where the sow is one color and cub or Cubs are different colors. That rainfall correlation doesn’t jive with what I’ve seen.
I don't even hunt but I find myself watching everything this guy puts out. Steve is a legend and gotta love his perspective and morals on life/hunting.
His books may bring you to tears like a couple of have to me. Watch Tim Wells for more a honest approach to outdoor pursuits.
Totally relatable comment.
I use to watch Tim Wells. I was impressed by the amazing shots he could make. Then a friend pointed out that they only show the good shots. Imagine the wounded animals through the years that they didn't show. Kind of changed my perspective on him@@InTheYear
I hunted a bit as a kid but haven't since and I watch everything he does
Callaghan is true woodsman. Any time he speaks I am all ears and trying to soak in everything I can.
"I would never marry a deer you know". This is one of the best catch phrases in this show. That, and Cal's "Smell us now lady".
cal is the best!
‘Poke for days’ is one he said after they haul in a giant tuna in Hawaï. Legend
But I do like 'em
Easily entertained
I can imagine Steve in the corner of a bar; glassing
Lmao
You think they allow him to perch up with a blind and camo in his local bar?
"today we're glassing for a cougar, no luck so far over the last few days"
Don't tell the Mrs. that! 🤣
I can See Callaghan at a Biden rally
His story about a feller named Grover really shows the author inside of him, always looking for interesting parts in a story
I could watch Steve and Ryan hunt/talk all day long.
OCal with a hat on is 26 years old.
OCal without a hat on is 45
Buddy really needs to just shave his head.
If he shaved his mustache with a hat on he'd be 14 years old
My man needs to shave his head and grow a goatee
how cal is telling the story of how he shot the buck and how its sync with him saying "bang!" and the footage of him shooting it. insane editing. like a movie
Man, I cant wait for some new hunts with these two together... their solo content is great but the two together are a hoot
Definitely my favourite duo.
Can’t wait huh? Dang you must be super excited
Two of my conservation hero's right there.
"Whats the plan for tomorrow?"
"Try n shoot another deer with a tongue"
🤣🤣🤣
I like that phrase
I’ve must watched this deer hunt series 10 times and still get as excited now as I did the first time.
"And the guy's name was Grover." ...I've been waiting for this ep pairing to drop! Two of the best episodes in MeatEater history.
Not being negative, it’s shows like this that have sparked so much interest in hunting. Opening day in Montana and you cannot go anywhere without seeing a sea of orange. From horses, to electric bikes and all the road hunters, it’s nearly impossible to escape.
Yes! 6pm on a Friday in the UK - No better way to start the weekend than a new Meater Eat vid!
I'll never forget Steve describing fun... the most fun you can have is those days you suffer and work your ass off. At the time it's not fun but you look back 2 years later and say that was one of the best times I've ever had.
Best quote ever.
I could listen to these two for ever. These men are and will be legends!
I was reading his survival book when this got posted! Definitely recommend any of his books!
I enjoyed the book a lot. I still find myself going back to read parts of it.
Same for his cook books!
His big/small game books are TREMENDOUS!
Now I just bought a bunch of books that don't pertain to my life much... yet.
American Buffalo was Great!
Found myself watching Rinella for some time now, since I decided to become a hunter and actually go to college for Forestry and Hunting in my country... He reminds me of my late Grandfather. Wise, calm and cool, funny and always full of great comments. I find some comfort in watching him. We need more of this series.
This show, Steve, and everyone he hunts with got me back into the outdoors and hunting. It’s all I ever think about - hunting and fishing.
4:42 Lol, that’s an “I’m smarter than you” trot if I’ve ever seen one. 😂
Cal reminds me of my stepdad who died 11 years ago. He saved my brother from drowning in a whirlpool near Amanzimtoti. Cal has a similar way of talking and he has a similar face structure.

Thanks for kicking off the weekend with this hunt!
It's about time cal embraces the bald lifestyle, he'd still rock it with that stunning moustache
2:54 I was like "Daaamn!" In sync with Steven when that buck popped up😂
Steve and Ryan is the dynamic duo of hunting
I love the way you guys did Cal’s side quest here, so good with the narration and highlights after the fact.
found myself only watching meat eater videos with steve in them hes humor and knowledge make the videos so much better
This is getting me even more excited for my deer hunt in central Idaho this fall!!
Good luck! Get some tongue!
Good luck buddy be safe!
It's getting me fired up for archery season
Thanks, guys!
Same! I finally drew a tag I've been trying to get for a couple years now! Super stoked!
Really enjoyed this guy's...love watching cal , you can tell he's passionate about hunting...I can relate..thx

Nothing gets my heart ❤️ pumping ,more than big Mule deer bucks 190” + or better ! Been doing it for 42 yrs ,and I don’t plan on ever quitting 👍
I’m late to this channel and all its content but I’ve made it this far, and I can sure tell Cal has made his ancestors proud.

I love tongue ❤ One of the most under utilized pieces of meat on an animal 😊
Braised tongue is an absolute delight. Tried beef tongue on a cruise and it was love at first bite.
One of my favorite episodes
All time favorite episode of MeatEater.

I love the fact you guys tried the tongue, we do that with elk tongue and they are easily my favorite part of the animal.
North Idaho has some massive Mule deer. Lots of Grizzly country though, and lots of Grizzly encounters.
“She’s a beauty, but not the one for me.” 😂😭 love it
Any antler in good old North Dakota this year! Can’t wait!
