I was told the best way to cook a Javelina, is to soak it in buttermilk for a day, then bury it in the coals of a fire to cook. After 5 hours in the coals, remove the Javelina, and eat the coals. They will taste better than the Javelina.

Dude that stomach pot cooking method is straight out of a horror movie lol

Steve: "that's fresh piss right there" Also Steve: *digs fingers into the pissy dirt and smells fingers knowing that he just stated that it indeed was fresh piss

steve: *Has a jet boil* Also setve: “ill use this pig stomach as a make shift cookpot”

Crazy thing is I’m not a hunter but I love this show. Steve is pretty cool with his wins and failures. Which makes it more legit, my Pop was a hunter and had fails a lot but loved them just as much as the kill.

Me and the other young men in my church went out on this camping trip one time. The campsite we were at had javelinas running around. One of the guys got to thinking how cool it would be to hunt one of those and my bishop said if he got one, he'd dress it. He said that because he didn't think he actually would, but the guy grabbed a knife, lashed it to a stick to make a makeshift spear, and went out that night to bag one. The next morning I wake up and hear he actually did it. I saw a picture of him and the pig and he speared that thing right in the brain. He got in trouble since he didn't have a license and they weren't in season, but to this day I think that guy is an absolute Chad for that

You know he roasted some loin after the cameras were shut off

the way stevo talks about the animal after the kill is why i enjoy his videos so much its just like grand father used to talk me about the animals you kill its all about respect.

This is possibly the greatest show ever made I’ve seen every episode 10,15 times I don’t know I lost count

That cooking method is somthing that will never leave the dark corners of your mind. You can see the look in Steves eyes "What the hell am I doing"

they say you eat with your eyes and that meal is fit for the blind.

My two loves in life are cooking and hunting. Watching these videos reminds me of when I still had the opportunity to do both. You keep me sane, Steve.

I hope they keep this up I always hated how Netflix couldn’t get all seasons

“I was in the mood for boiled meat not roasted meat”. This was the first MeatEater episode I ever saw and only caught the last 5 minutes and was like I need to see more of this show. Also as someone how was involved with de icing the engine bay of a jet ranger with rocks off a bbq in the middle of nowhere I knew this Steve guy had his cooking technique spot on.

This was the first animal I ever took as a kid hunting with my grandfather in South Texas. Good memory.

i love the desert hunting episodes! i live in las vegas, and really just love the desert, so seeing hunting videos and the insane bio diverity we have in the North American deserts is pretty damn cool

As an amateur archaeologist that’s spent many years finding arrowheads in west Texas, I sure would’ve been busy keeping my eyes on the ground and checking those caves!

tastes better than a Javelin smells, that ain't saying much

Loving these season 1 eps! Thanks for posting em

Some of this season one shit cracks me up! I’ve seen every episode but it’s been years so this pretty cool to watch again. Keep up the good work boys!

In the vast and rugged wilderness of the southwestern deserts, there lived a family known for their culinary prowess. They had a secret recipe passed down through generations for cooking javelina, a tough and wild game found in abundance in the arid lands. However, this recipe was not for the faint of heart, as it involved a series of intricate and laborious steps. The family gathered around their humble kitchen, ready to embark on the challenging task of preparing the javelina for dinner. First, they meticulously cleaned the javelina, removing any traces of dirt and debris. Then, they washed it in vinegar, hoping to tenderize the tough meat. Next came the crucial step of tacking the javelina to a sturdy board. With great care, they secured the game onto the board, ensuring it would cook evenly. They slathered the meat with their signature sauce, a blend of spices and herbs passed down through the ages. The oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, they carefully placed the board with the javelina inside. For the next six hours, the family anxiously waited as the tantalizing aroma of barbecue filled the air. But their task was far from over. After six long hours, they meticulously mopped the javelina with barbecue sauce, ensuring it remained moist and flavorful. Then, they lowered the temperature to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and continued cooking for another five hours. With each passing hour, the anticipation grew as the family eagerly awaited the moment of culinary triumph. Finally, after a total of eleven hours in the oven, they removed the javelina and soaked it in mustard, hoping to infuse it with one final burst of flavor. Exhausted but determined, they let the javelina cool for an hour before returning it to the oven. At a low temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit, they baked it for an additional four hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender. At last, the moment of truth arrived. With great anticipation, they pulled the javelina out of the oven and carefully untacked it from the board. But to their dismay, the meat was still tough and unpalatable. Defeated but undeterred, the family made a decision. With heavy hearts, they threw away the javelina and turned their attention to the board. And to their surprise, the board had absorbed all the flavors from the hours of cooking, becoming a deliciously seasoned masterpiece. In the end, while cooking javelina proved to be a challenging task, the family learned that sometimes, the most unexpected outcomes can be the most rewarding. And so, they sat down to enjoy a meal of seasoned board, savoring the fruits of their labor and the memories of their culinary adventure in the desert wilderness.

So happy we are getting these on youtube.

No one is ever in the mood for boiled meat Steve HAHA.

When you can’t mention your life goals in polite company!

Love when these shows are in my neck of the woods, or close enough that I could possibly hunt them, but probably never will 😅

I laughed way to hard when he said if you stumbled across this you would run for your life. He ain’t wrong. Straight out of a horror movie

That stomach pot reminds me of a Sarlacc pit

The coolest thing I've ever seen, the way you cook the Javelina boiling it with hot rocks by using the stomach.

Very informative gentlemen! I can now confidently skin my next bear!

New and interesting way to cook. Not sure it’s for me but it’s certainly different. 👍👍

Just the thought of those before us went through is incredible! 💪🇺🇸💯

Totally love your videos, hunting all methods and traveling to different continents to go to and find success, the meat hunter is the one one that knows true survival if needed

Another of my favorites, Steve. I did a hunt like that in AZ one January morning about 20 years ago, but I was using a recurve and shot it on the run.

I love watching your adventure, hunting, and cooking with professional cameraman

Hi Steve. Can we just say that we love what you are doing? And are sort of addicted to it. Love your hunting adventures, love your cooking, love Das Boat, love and have Firstlite, and we even love Fennville, MI. Give us more. Thanks! : )

I hunted blue quail down on Brite Ranch back in January. Heck, this might even be Brite Ranch. Anyway, some of the most fun I’ve ever had and saw javelina everywhere. Great times!

This series gets better and better every episode!

I went hunting javelina with my dad when I was around 10. We met up with some other hunters who had been there for about a week without even a sighting. After asking one of their wives which way they went we set off in the opposite direction. We walked about 3/4 of mile down into a canyon and stumbled on about 30 of them. They were all around us! Literally, within touching distance. We ended taking home a 55-60 pounder in all of 20 minutes! The other guys hated us for the rest of the trip 🤣

Thanks for not disturbing the cave drawings bud. Most people may have had other ideas and perhaps even considered taking one. Kudos.

Love these videos. What took so long? Love the show, love the motovation thanks for all you do.

Best episode yet!

I love the no quite attitude, the ternasity of competition

Amen brother. If it runs, jumps, crawls, swims, or flies and doesn't talk......it's food!!!!!

I love how modest he is

Great show, Steve.

That cooking pot looked like the unholy love child of H.R. Giger and Georgia O'Keefe.

" DANIEL BOONE STEVE'S "stomach oven" is ... WHAT THE ... " His EPICsodes is all about the adventure and the process. ~ FUN ~

More bow hunts pleaseeee

I never watched hunting shows until this one ☝️ sooooo goood Steve !! I really enjoy that it shows the struggle , no immediate pay off , live on the land a bit travel and have disappointments then The pay off of getting what your after.

Excellent show!

Really enjoyed this tks

“It tastes better than a Javelina smells” that is not very reassuring 😂

Super cool ep. grew up in south Texas, we have these everywhere. Never hunted them but you convinced me to try....”it tastes....better than it smells” hahaha

I love the sound track!

19:05 I’d think Jesper’s Creepers was waiting for me around the corner or something. I’d definitely run for my life 😂

these are awesome man!

we all love watching your channel , great stuff, our families all do the same ,keep up the great work.

Thanks MeatEater. On to the next one!

I started MeatEater on like season 8 on Netflix, didn't know these where all on KZfaq until now. Really happy I've found them! It's funny that I'm noticing he's less filtered on these, maybe he has changed as he's got older or maybe Netflix made I'm clean up a bit

That's so cool! It brings me beautiful memories from the time I was just a kid. I used to go for hunting with my dad here in Brazil. Today the laws are too restrictive and I don't do it anymore. I only fish!

Some gristle? You could hear the crunch every time he chewed 😂

STEVE RINNELLA IS A LEGEND... I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW AND FIND A NEW APPRECIATION FOR LIFE THROUGH STEVES EYES AND PERSPECTIVES ON LIFE AND HUNTING IN THE WILD. 🏹 . AND THAT PIGGUT CACTUS BROILER 🌵 🐗 HAD ME CRACKING UP IMAGINE FINDING THIS OUT WALKING HE SAYS YEP ID RUN bahahaaaa 😆 👍... I gotta get me one of them ELMER FUDD CAPS Steves Sporting... cool bro ✌️

Assinaboin comes to mind on that cooking method (sorry if I butchered the spelling). Also, I can attest to possibly how not so great their vision is. Came within 10 yards face to face with 2 of them last December and had to make a sound because they didn't see me yet. But, they also had the cutest face I ever did see 😂.

Uploading these episodes is awesome! #MeatEaterNation #RinellaforElPresidente

Thanks Steve

I was cooking lunch while watching this. I opened up the freezer and there on the bottom shelf was some javelina. I think I might have some tonight for dinner. Javelina is actually quite tasty if you know what you are doing.

Those cave paintings were very cool

Big love from Australia Steevie!!

Amo seu programa😍😍

Your a good man thanks

I had javelina pass by me about 20 feet away, up in the Texas panhandle.

Awesome

Going on a tennessee boar hunt tomorrow, extremely excited

So the javelina just got finished munchin on some dead coyote. Saves the stomach. Rinses it out with creek water. Stuffs trich laced meat into stomach. Cooks on rocks. Inhales trich laced meat. It's kinda no wonder you have trich cysts in your muscle tissue Steve. God bless your kidneys, partner. Thanks for the video! I enjoyed the hunt.

As always great 👍 video

i absolutely love the big bend region i was driving though there one day and almost ran over a group of about 25 javilna

Steve, you should really post the links and types to the gear and rifles/bows you use. I always wanna know what works!

Very good! Very Nice!

Steven: I'm in the mood for eating boiled meat, not roasted. *Matty Matheson has entered the chat*

Love that 'pot' you made

When I bow a deer I always say I’ll wait an hour then 15 minutes later I’m out looking for it.

Nice stuff steve cheers mate from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

“And here’s where it gets interesting” if Steve says that, you damnwellbetter perk up lol!!!!

Looks like a great life brother

I think I'll just keep that method for use in the back of my mind. I'll take ya word for it.. lol

A time honored way to find javelina is to store open food in your tent. I guarantee you will see javelina by morning.

Jabali - Jaballina - Javelina - small compact sized wild piggies/boars

Cooking in a sarlacc pit, definitely something I'll have to do

i watch these videos and play hunter: call of the wild and pretend im hunting with steve

fun times. it only took you 15 minutes to get it. hahaha. I love your show

Bet he can't wait till he gets to the next burger joint!

Show mano tua caçada, sauve do bowhunting aventureiros do Brasil

One of my favorite shows ever! You can see the constant improvements with each episode and each season of MeatEater. I'm amazed how great is the first season. I did catch some errors with editing -- Steve's right glove keeps appearing and disappearing -- I imagine the editing is out of sequence an no one caught it. Oh well... See for yourself: 9:30-10:30.

That was an awesome Pot you used to boil that meat in 👍.

I hear a weird version of la grange Zz Top in the background 17:36

Fabulous

Nice.

“These are good rocks”

Definately had to invert that stomach in my opinion 😂

The real meat eater ones use to pay for these episodes yall should be great full for this quality free content
