It’s kinda crazy that meateater has grown into this massive hunting platform. And it’s all high quality. The articles, the videos, the podcasts, everything. And not only do they have a lot of great content to just enjoy but you can basically learn about anything outdoors. Incredible really
I had to eat some of the exotic animals to survive like rice filed rats, grasshoppers, crickets, snakes, and a lot of fish caught in the river at night along my labor camps from 1975 to 1979 during Pol Pot era. I was just a teenager then and most of my family members did not make it. Enjoy it while you can. Life is too short for some others but life goes on. Peace out from a genocide survivor!
And to think this shit still goes on in the world today and you have leaders of the world saying they love communism and the way they controll people good to hear you are doing well
Very interesting but sad that it had to happen to your family and so many others. I as an American was unfortunately never taught about Pol Pot and had to teach myself about it. Many others who don't know about it take the freedom we have today for granted and don't know how bad things can get.
The meat eater brand has evolved into something that everyone can enjoy. While I might enjoy watching Jani hunt elk, I can still watch an episode like this with my wife. *Chef's kiss*
LOVE Meateater, but think you missed the mark on this one. Lived and hunted in Texas my whole life, don’t let this fool you. He said “by spending a little bit of money” harvesting a mature oryx in Texas typically cost somewhere around $5,000. The reason “most Texans haven’t eaten this animal” is because of pricing. People here complain about hogs damaging their crops, but want to charge people $250 a day or per pig to come kill nuisance animals.
Yeah, some of the newer episodes feel REALLY snooty. As if the average American in this disastrous economy has 10k to travel to Texas, pay the fee, and lodging/gear/food for ONE niche animal lol.
There are about 15.7 BILLION, with a B, acres of land in Texas. Per the TX Parks and Wildlife Agency there is *almost* one million acres of land open to the hunting public. That's paltry and I'd love to hear more about what land access initiatives are doing about that.
More Jesse please, I'd like to see a professional butchers take on some different species. Love that episode where Steve went around to his place and he laid out a spread. Nothing fancy just solid good tasting food
The ocmbination of "Land of the Exotics" and "Sabertooth" had me thinking this was a show on Dinosaur exploration. Likely due to my inexperience with with wild game jargon. haha I don't quite understand the idea behind the name but I'm here for this series none the less. Great first episode, I'm excited to see what's next.
KG is by far my favorite Celebrity Chef. Reminds me of those satellite/cable days lol. I'm sitting in my truck drinking a craft cider at 9 am on my day off. No, I'm not driving, I'm outside of my house 30 miles from town on my phone watching this on my day off. I've got 4 deer feeding on my grass 20 yards away from me. No "horns" though 😂 (antlers either)😂
Awesome video, can’t wait for more. As a hunter and also a person who loves to cook, exploring new and creative ways to prepare food I really enjoy your approach of going back to basics first then adjusting it with a slight modern twist!
As a Texan who moved here from the east coast, I get it. What I didn't understand, and still can barely get my head around, is there are many ranches in this state where the "fenced" area is so big you never see the fence except when you enter the ranch. I've also hunted areas where you bump into the fence all the time and you feel like you're shooting fish in a barrel.
@@sirjames186 it’s just a much larger cage, IMO. ( Texan my entire existence, south Texas to be exact) Can’t swing a stick around here w/out hitting a high fence ranch.
So lemme try to relieve some more. High fence is any ranch with a high fence on any border. It doesn’t even have to be the full border. Some ranches border high ways and will have a high fence guarding the high way (I’d rather not hit a Oryx going 85). Also we are talking about ranches larger than most wildlife management units in other states. Ranches the size of Rhode Island. So it doesn’t really mess up these animals natural lives to live there because they aren’t blocked from their natural patterns per se. They have adapted to living there. Also animals escape A LOT. In some areas you’ll be driving and just see a nilgai or a zebra just…on the road. They aren’t considered in captivity or even pets at this point. A lot of east coasters and western big game hunters have this stink face about “high fence” with no concept of what that is or what that means.
Some of these high fence properties in Texas are so big, the deer would never leave the property anyway. Many of them are thousands or tens of thousands of acres. Most of the reasons for high fencing these massive properties has A LOT more to do with keeping unwanted genetics (and hunters) out, than keeping the good genetics in. These ranchers are constantly managing the herd, and carefully select which bucks they harvest every year. They'll shoot a young buck with bad genes before they have the chance to mate (and spread bad genes), but they'll also let bucks with good potential go, and wait to harvest them when they've reached their full potential. Every trophy buck was a good to great shooter buck for at least 2-3 full hunting seasons before they reached the Alpha male status. These trophy bucks would have been mating for at least 3-4 years.
taking a animals life is a heavy thing the older i get the more i feel that, but as a man that eats meat i feel we should take our time to value the life we take and enjoy the harvest
3 absolute culinary KILLERS in this episode. You guys were one JPB from founding the MeatEater cooking dream team, right here. Love it, folks. Amazing work.
Your rabbit hole is and interesting way to bring people to hunting and feeding all together. I love wild meet, grew up on it my whole life. Didn't know store bought meat until I was 19. Wild game is key, keep on keepin on...
I was lucky enough to draw an oryx tag three years ago not far from my house in NM. It is one of my favorite game meat and they are beautiful animals. Texas high fence operations are controversial but if done correctly they are great for the animals, ranch and community. Sad part is theres also money hungry ranches that can ruin that.
Outside of MeatEater cook books, it’d be great to get some favorite cooking books from both Kevin and Danielle! Love both of their cooking episodes. Would love to see some of their inspirations or favorite dishes, as a new cook
I think you guys could do a series with the channel TastingHistory, because I enjoy both shows and think it could be a really cool and interesting video
IM A girl hunter age 14 and I love it so much I've only got one white tailed buck but that was on my first hunt November 28 2021it was a youth hunt but man it was awsome and I'd love to have more tips from yall so me and my dad spend days and days watching meat eater for tips so thank u guys so much!!!! I look up to all of u!!! Also could u take me hunting sometime cuz Milton Florida has like nothing! Mk thx bai!
Hog deer are pretty much extinct in their native China, but they are thriving in huntable herds here in Victoria Australia. Not as palatable as red deer, but better than Fallow.
How do I get invited to one of these Sabertooth events? I am a Disabled Vet, bound to a wheelchair because of my injuries during my 20 year Air Force EOD Career, I basically don't know any people with the resources that match my expense account (practically non-existent). I love to hunt and fish and believe our natural resources could be managed so much better, they are doing a good job with what they have but they also have a lot of waste. I love to do all my own game breakdown and cooking. Heart is one of my favorite cuts of meat. Anyway I just love what your doing
I'm from South Africa and in watching this hunt and I'm seeing the prickly pears- have you ever tried oryx steak with a prickly pear reduction? It's pretty darn great. Just putting it out there 😂
I absolutely love this episode and even though I'm only 10 yrs into firearms (due to upbringing) I've fished and processed them for consumption since I was old enough to reach the back burners on a stove. So this hunting for conservation and lifes food, is on my list after a couple builds for me and my son. Who I might add is absolutely into all of this, even tho he is a veterinarian science major in college. Which if you think about it, its spot on for the circle of life and environment control so all can sustain existence.
Harvesting animals is nice if you have land but for most us average people it’s not a viable options. I’m sure it would cost thousands if not 10’s of thousands of dollars to hunt that animal. I’ve never tried public land cause I’m in central tx. I know there is some in east tx. Maybe can try it some day.
It’s kinda crazy that meateater has grown into this massive hunting platform. And it’s all high quality. The articles, the videos, the podcasts, everything. And not only do they have a lot of great content to just enjoy but you can basically learn about anything outdoors. Incredible really
Gotta say, whoever picks the music for meat eater productions absolutely aces it like 99% of the time.
facts
I came to say the same. If its the zero point zero guys they did some music for Bourdain's show as well.
The music on this episode was horrible in my opinion
I had to eat some of the exotic animals to survive like rice filed rats, grasshoppers, crickets, snakes, and a lot of fish caught in the river at night along my labor camps from 1975 to 1979 during Pol Pot era. I was just a teenager then and most of my family members did not make it. Enjoy it while you can. Life is too short for some others but life goes on. Peace out from a genocide survivor!
Well said!!!

I get a batch of chapulines every year from 🇲🇽 nothing wrong with grasshoppers!
Thank you for sharing this.
Yes it's finally here! I've been so pumped for this series ever since it was teased on the podcast!

Yep shot a gemsbok oryx this past year and it was company paid. Hard to drop 5-8 grand on a hunt out of my own pocket.
@@blakefinch8158 come to south africa, we have enough Gemsbok here

Kevin is the best addition to Meateater! (I know he’s been with the guys for a while now) Love you man!
Jesse Griffiths is the man! Wish he was on more episodes!
This series is everything I've ever wanted. Big fan of chef Kevin Gillespie
i gotta say that oryx is a freaking amazing looking animal. Those horns are insane and beautiful.
I like to see that Danielle has a Draathar.. So cool!
As a hunter who is just starting a new career in the culinary world, I am thrilled for this new series!

Thought it was awesome can't wait to see the next one, definitely loved the preparations on the oryx!!!
Beautiful new home Danielle!
Haha, wow that was a tough hunt.
So thankfully that I get to live in a time where something like meateater exists. Such a great not only entertainment but educational resource.
I’m still a bit unsold on the idea of the high fence system in Texas, even though this seemed to try to resolve that.
As a Texan who moved here from the east coast, I get it. What I didn't understand, and still can barely get my head around, is there are many ranches in this state where the "fenced" area is so big you never see the fence except when you enter the ranch. I've also hunted areas where you bump into the fence all the time and you feel like you're shooting fish in a barrel.
Partially agree but it's sill better then factory farmed meat.

These 3 need thier own series
taking a animals life is a heavy thing the older i get the more i feel that, but as a man that eats meat i feel we should take our time to value the life we take and enjoy the harvest
I guess the oryx recipe will continue to remain a mystery for another 1,000 years. The “CONCEPT” of the show…definitely not a mystery.
3 absolute culinary KILLERS in this episode. You guys were one JPB from founding the MeatEater cooking dream team, right here. Love it, folks. Amazing work.
Kevin is a national treasure
Really glad to see another cooking centric series. I missed the cooking special episodes from the early meateater seasons. Keep this going.
Your rabbit hole is and interesting way to bring people to hunting and feeding all together. I love wild meet, grew up on it my whole life. Didn't know store bought meat until I was 19. Wild game is key, keep on keepin on...

True mastery of any skill takes a lifetime.
You need to get over to South Africa...hunters and eaters paradise!
Hell yeah! Well done chef! Love seeing this concept come to life!
Outside of MeatEater cook books, it’d be great to get some favorite cooking books from both Kevin and Danielle! Love both of their cooking episodes. Would love to see some of their inspirations or favorite dishes, as a new cook
Love the YO Schriner Ranch. Good people
The kitchen Dream Team!
Chef Kevin is the reason I got into belly dancing.
I think you guys could do a series with the channel TastingHistory, because I enjoy both shows and think it could be a really cool and interesting video
Been waiting for this to be released!
Very cool series! Can't wait for Wild & Whole to come back too.
Great episode but I’d love to see more explanation and preparation of the dishes then slow mo video of cooking.
BEAUTIFUL!!!! Great job Chef's!!!!!
Bad ass, Kevin! Nice shooting.
Drop the next Sabertooth episode guys!!
These are going to encourage me to up my processing and culinary skills for wild game!
Love the Bear Grease shirt !!!
IM A girl hunter age 14 and I love it so much I've only got one white tailed buck but that was on my first hunt November 28 2021it was a youth hunt but man it was awsome and I'd love to have more tips from yall so me and my dad spend days and days watching meat eater for tips so thank u guys so much!!!! I look up to all of u!!! Also could u take me hunting sometime cuz Milton Florida has like nothing! Mk thx bai!
I loved growing up in Texas with those traditional Raza Hanu spices...Granny made the best shormula you'ld've ever tasted too.
GOD BLESS TEXAS!
Best cooking episode so far. Awesome
I love this channel and I love your content... can't wait to see where this series goes..
Hog deer are pretty much extinct in their native China, but they are thriving in huntable herds here in Victoria Australia. Not as palatable as red deer, but better than Fallow.
amazing show!!! would love to see a ton more of these!
Nahhhh we have definitely heard of it… just don’t have all of the money to hunt them
Oryx is quite tasty with just a little salt, pepper, and a few other condiments. Nice video.
Super enjoyed! Thank y’all
Missed the prayer before you ate...
Agree to disagree about where to hunt Oryx. Come to South Africa.
That dude in the hat looks like he has just enough personality to pull it off, Steve would approve. 🤣🤣🤣
This is what I’ve been waiting for since Top Chef. Wishing you all the best for this show sir!
That woman is organically amazing.
How do I get invited to one of these Sabertooth events? I am a Disabled Vet, bound to a wheelchair because of my injuries during my 20 year Air Force EOD Career, I basically don't know any people with the resources that match my expense account (practically non-existent). I love to hunt and fish and believe our natural resources could be managed so much better, they are doing a good job with what they have but they also have a lot of waste. I love to do all my own game breakdown and cooking. Heart is one of my favorite cuts of meat. Anyway I just love what your doing
Great video! Love the thought behind the food.
Awesome story, hunt and animal!! Would love to try that meat one day if the opportunity presents itself.
Well done!
Amazing to see you again, Chef! Such a joy -- thank you for doing this!
Reminder you can draw a tag for these in I think Nevada
New Mexico has tags for these, Eland, Sable, Aoudad, and Ibex
Dude in the cowboy hat was feeding his to the dog.
If you can afford to buy an exotic hunt, why would you buy an Oryx hunt when you could shoot 5 axis does for the same price?
The meat is fantastic, the animal is Majestic & absolutely beautiful
Awesome show dude, keep it going!
Will these recipes be posted? I could not find them online. Thanks for all y’all do!
Is this real?^
"Oh cool Oryx. Kevin's beard is awesome. Yeah I'd love to hunt one one of those one d....HOLY SHIT DANIELLE'S KITCHEN IS AMAZING!"
Great video.
Kevin always reminds me of Yukon Cornelius haha.
Its incongruous to hear a burly breaded redneck country looking guy then have him sound like a sophisticated cosmopolitan.
Not a fan of high fence hunting but I can get behind the cooking
that meat eater apron that Kevin is wearing is awesome! Where can we buy one?
What does an Oryx hunt cost since most all of Texas is Privately Owned?
Depends on who owns the ranch
An exotic hunt in Texas for an animal like the oryx is about $5,000 depending on the ranch and accommodations provided
Well done Chef!!!
One of the best culinary episodes on the MeatEater channel! Awesome work, Kevin and Danielle 🍻
Did this end or are more episodes coming? This was too good to stop!
I'm from South Africa and in watching this hunt and I'm seeing the prickly pears- have you ever tried oryx steak with a prickly pear reduction? It's pretty darn great. Just putting it out there 😂

Very Nicely Done 🙌.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
Man, this guy has pure passion for food.
Awesome video, wish Jesse had stayed and cooked, He is aways so insightful.
Kudu grill for the win
Great placement….what a beast and a harvest!
Love the videos
Harvesting animals is nice if you have land but for most us average people it’s not a viable options. I’m sure it would cost thousands if not 10’s of thousands of dollars to hunt that animal. I’ve never tried public land cause I’m in central tx. I know there is some in east tx. Maybe can try it some day.
Beat Bobby Flay! Seriously, you can do it!
well done...... Im almost 90% wild game now..... however I have to expand my flavours
Thanks for the video
Another must watch from Meateater , greatjob Kev, Danielle, Jesse
Amazing video, i could watch this all day!
When are more episodes going to come out?
The food prep and courses were next level, please open a restaurant in Texas Kevin!
Are those MeatEater aprons available anywhere?
What a great video. His approach is amazing.
That apron…where to get???
Great episode, but how about a way to get those recipes.
This video is very good, if it is sent to our platform, more people will definitely watch it and get more income
Meateater crew well done! Love this series. First I love Kevin plus I enjoy you guys cooking again! Keep it up.
