This cameraman has an awesome eye for detail. It would be challenging to not get too caught up in the beauty of your surroundings and keep focused on your job. He's always having to get ahead and find those angles without giving their locations up to the animals they're hunting. To get paid to be Steven's cameraman is a underappreciated job to the average viewer and it would be super challenging, but in every since extremely rewarding to not only be a first hand part of these epic hunts, but to gain the overall knowledge of hunting that Steven has. I'd love to be a part of this, even if it was behind a camera and not a rifle.
@@James-hm3jk here in Switzerland it's 20:20 pm, rainy and dark. So I take my Remington 700 with the pulsar thermion on it and go looking for a hog.. :-)
@@mr.duckhunternl6991 grew up hunting deer exclusively, it was because of these shows I started to go after small game, birds, and black bears. TN has plenty of small game but outside of deer, bear and feral hogs I haven't hunted much.
Can I just say a huge thanks to Steve and the meat eater crew for making this season, and hopefully more available on TH-cam 😁 much love from Australia
My daughter lives in Arizona and I absolutely love the area. I haven’t gotten to hunt yet, but I have been out scouting and glassing and found my first elk shed. We will be moving out there from Indiana.
I'm curious as to the nature of the injury that deer had, where on his body was he shot? Kudos to you for finishing off an animal that would otherwise die a slow painful death.
Steve calling it off on his target big buck to get the smaller wounded fella down for good, makes me really happy to see such a good example of an honorable hunter
PLEASE KEEP UPLOADING THESE OLD EPISODES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe one a day instead of every couple/few days???? Keep up the great work and content. Simply the best there is.
You know Steve you and your crew,and when I mean crew,your whole production crew,really knows how to produce quick short videos that feel like a full movie video, informative,scenic,and suspencfull.just on point with everything.nice job guys
As a fellow hunter, Steven is a role model for me in many ways. He is a unique, ethical, honest hunter who has established many great relationships. Thank you Steven.
Loved this episode.. it made me homesick.best times ever hunting out there...I just moved to texas and trying to hunt out here seems like you gotta be rich.. I gotta say it's a very beautiful state yet it's very pricey.. and alot of people unwilling to help a guy out.. my quest continues.. thank u Steve.. your show is my go to on down time.
My three boys and I have watched hours and hours of this show on NETFLIX. They all love the outdoors. This show was right up our alley during the covid shut down.
I lived in Tucson in the 1980s and (at least at that time) you had to have a fishing license to hunt/kill reptiles. However, under the circumstances, I highly doubt any game warden would have found a violation in what happened with you. Great videos! Also, taking the wounded buck over the other was a class act. You have grown immeasurable amounts of respect from me for that. Well done.
Even if that was still the case, the only long term license (short term not available for big game draw hunts) for non-residents is the Hunt/Fish Combo so he'd be covered. 👍
man...I saw your video...I am Mexican, I am hunter, I eat meat of my hunt in the woods( any how...any real hunter in world knows how it feels) ...you eat meat tacos with onion and chile!... i will see all your videos because we speak the same lenguage whitout the need of words...i salute you, my respects .
Couse are a blast to hunt! If you want a challenge there it is. FYI get some snake boots if you hunt az. I've seen them out in December. And don't use palo verde to cook with. Find some mesquite Steve
Thank you so very much for posting these. I literally have Netflix only for meateater. Shout out from oklahoma, keep hunting hard! Such an inspiration to get back out in the woods.
I like Steve as a writer and person. The hunts are a little repetitive but it’s interesting to watch most of the time. But it does lack a bit of an arc for his personal growth. But he’s an authentic individual.
I forgot coues deer even existed 😂 used to hunt them all the time on one of r old hunting pc games when me n my brother were brother. This show just got on my radar, but it reminds me of my childhood constantly lol
I've almost stepped on a rattle snake as well. I was walking along a trail and, in the bottom corner of my eye, noticed a quick movement by my ankle. I looked down and saw the snake recoiling to strike again. It didn't rattle until after it struck out at me. Luckily it was just a warning strike and didn't actually tag me. As I was looking down on it I felt my legs start running, as if out of my control, and my upper body sort of whipped after them.
@@dave131 The snake that snapped at me was a Prairie Rattler, quite bit smaller than diamondbacks. I guess it's the same behavior though, for whatever reason they don't always rattle.
@@i_would_but_i_wont You're a luck dude. This one never struck ( Thank God ) I didn't see him til he was 2 feet in front of me. All I had was my bow lol
Nice. We also have the "Grey Gost of Africa": The Kudu. Definitely a animal that disappears in an instance if you do not keep your eye on him. In South Africa we also do liver/heart wrapped in caul fat. We call them "Skilpadjies" - Which translates to "little tortoises" in English.
I live in southeast Arizona and it is honestly incredible how different it looks when u get on those canyons, there are spots I’ve seen with 20 foot deep springs that are perfectly clear to the bottom
Thanks for sharing these videos Steven I can never get enough, even reruns! As a fellow uprooted Michigander, I’ve always loved your show, voiceovers, and perspectives. Keep it up!
That was fun to watch! Makes me homesick every time I see an AZ hunt. Glad you got to enjoy what I grew up in. People don't believe me when I tell them I grew up deer and elk hunting in AZ and it's a perfect place to do both. Thanks for sharing.
My hunt starts in a couple more weeks here in AZ im excited ill take anything over 100 this year but im focused on my step brother last year he got his first deer ever a spike so now we gotta put a trophy on the wall for him
It would be even better if Steven just said ''bitch'' when he threw that rock. What a freaking legend, this guy. Watching the first season for the third time. An idol, my hero and role model. And my wife loves the recipes from MeatEater. Would love to invite you to hunt in Europe someday. We have some stuff you would love to shoot.
11:42 That, my friends, is a Diamond Back rattle snake. They can get massive! Had one in my backyard, I would estimate it to have been nearly 3 feet long.
just shot my first deer with a bow this morning here at ft hood texas. you should do a show here on the ft hood base hunting wild hogs or even turkeys the deer are kinda small
@@tonyjohnson9212 thats a good unit mules even in the high area lol I've hunted that are another what side you hunting grahams or Wilcox side and good luck
gotta respect Steve for passing up the bigger buck for the wounded one, class act 👌
If you truly believe that lol he lost the “ big buck” that only he saw
i have met many hunters that woulda let that deer suffer, i am glad that I was raised by my father to do the same thing in his shoes
Nice bass man! And i agree hes a good guy

Good luck keeping up with them. It would be bad ass tho. Shit I would pay them.

“You know what the moral of that story is, don’t rattle at Steve” what a fucking legend.
Hahahaha, holy shit man, that was crazy af!
Was thinking he’d say watch your step or something haha
The dude is referencing Escoffier while elbow-deep in the chest cavity of a buck. God bless Steve.

Thats the plan
put up a shop and sell game meat there you go. you can live at home and just hunt for profit and food
@@iamf6641 and go to prison for market hunting law violations. Might need a better plan than that one.
Finishing off a wounded animal like that. Now thats a class act!
yeh I just wish Steve showed what the injury was. We never found out if it was a predator wound, battle wound or bullet wound at the end 😕
Well my lunch break is getting extended by 23 minutes
Well my lunch break is being extended by a lot of minutes as I’m binge watching these
Love these shows, got me into hunting animals I'd never considered before and I can honestly say I'm healthier for it
Go hunt man is lots a fun getting a deer man go hunt if anyone in your family go hunt tell them maybe he take you if you have gun training and yeah 👍
I do hope you hunt animals

@MeatEater I'm curious as well, can you answer this curiosity.
@@nateklink here for the answer
It looks like it was a leg shot cause it was limping pretty bad, maybe the first hunter misjudged distance and broke the front leg of the deer
Same here!!
Same here, could have nicked one of the front legs, I suppose.
Hands down the best Hunting/Outdoors show out there.
Imagine being a snake that gets killed and eaten by Steve Rinella. What an honorable way to die

How beautiful is that. Those deers were boxing. Watching these deer in their natural habitat. Love this show!
This show has evolved so much since season 1, cool to see.
I find it hilarious how he always seems to eat his snake with tajin. We use it for drinks and a topping on fruits and vegetables 😋
Love this, real world hunting to the core. Such an awesome way to live, the hunting lifestyle
Hes living the dream awesome show and awesome lifestyle.
I'll bet you will go over 2 million if you continue posting the series. I'm enjoying them again.

that camera man was prime position to ask for a raise !!! we have coues deer tag this nov !! thanks for getting me stoked up !!
It's a common problem out there, people losing the bucks they shoot. I'm not surprised he found a wounded one that probably got away.

That should be a shirt. Dead rattlesnake and Steve saying don't rattle at steve
a Gadsden flag, but it says "Steve Rinella, please tread on me" instead
You don't know what a grey ghost is until you come and hunt the majestic Kudu in Africa! Believe me.
Good on you Steve for passing up the bigger one and taking down the injured one. That gained you my most respect ✊.

The way he described where that deer was so precise and clean
In Arizona you learn a couple of things, that's carry a pair of snips (for branches), stay away from Cholla cactus and be careful where you step.

It's good that they doesn't kill the snake for nothing.. they didn't waste anything that they kill! that why I love this channel!
Thanks . I finished seasons 7,8 and 9 on Netflix. I need more
“Don’t rattle are Steve.” 🤣
I like Steve as a writer and person. The hunts are a little repetitive but it’s interesting to watch most of the time. But it does lack a bit of an arc for his personal growth. But he’s an authentic individual.
That’s one of my dream hunts, currently just bought three of Steves books, getting some room in the freezer for season!

Super humble no matter how big the animal is
@ 14.38 and the moral of the story "don't rattle at Steve" cos Steve doesn't like to be rattled. Can't call that snake a 'quick study' either . lol
My childhood after hunt dinner was deer liver. And I hated liver , but old dad loved watching me eat it
Just a genuinely good guy thing to do. Gives up the trophy to take the wounded deer out. 👍
