The fact that “C U Next Tuesday” went right over everyone’s head is absolutely priceless.

Steve forcing the “fresh set of eyes” saying is always hilarious

I love that Steve is still pushing this pole beans saying

I've been a very long supporter of Steve and Meateater, and love the content. Trying not to be a hater, but this one misses the mark. Not a fan of these bro country kind of dudes.

I love MeatEater and have since I discovered it way back in 2015 or so. I have always felt like it gave a voice to the type of hunting I have dedicated my life to. MeatEater used to be a spot to get intellectual perspectives on the great outdoors and pushed to develop a more complex relationship with nature. The podcast guests delving into history, biology, and theory were so thought provoking and inspiring in a sea of commercialized “bro hunting” media. PLEASE GET BACK TO THE ROOTS OF MEATEATER. The past year of MeatEater has leaned towards the type of media that MeatEater strives so hard to stand out against. A lot of today’s hunting media is geared towards a demographic who treats it more like a golf game than a way of life. A culture of putting more effort into selecting your gear than hunting. A culture of cutting every corner to make hunting not much more than shooting pen raised animals. I beg of you, please retreat to the way you started the MeatEater universe so many years ago. An outlet to showcase the beauty of our wild places, the versatility of the bounty of protein provided when successful, and the respect given to a carefully managed wildlife program that makes the US so unique.

The "sad song/ dad song" stuff is perfectly indicative of the the regurgitation that comes from Music Row.

Yall need to chill the fuck out. Look at that number. 514 fucking episodes. I can't imagine how tough it would be to come up with 514 different ideas and guests that make everybody happy. I still think there are very good nuggets of knowledge and a few laughs in every single pod.

Meateater, Please keeping what your doing. Watching your videos have introduced me to topics that I would never suss out myelf. Interesting to me how few have commented on bear poking that song did, you got them, I could see it on your face. Keep up the diversity of topics.

Ya win some ya lose some.

This is a big flaming turd... corporate country music is literally trash.. and these guys are literally part of the reason.. haha. on an outdoor network, where they admittedly said they dont want to talk about hunting and fishing on their podcast.. haha

Only reason I could watch this one as long as I did was hoping to hear more from Katie... hopefully these guys aren't on Trivia..

Trying to reach a wider audience but simultaneously diminishing the integrity of the Meateater brand. Not everyone needs a podcast. I can’t overstate how awful what I was able to take was before turning it off.

I'm so glad Steve mentioned the buy out happening in the Great Bear Rainforest! The company involved is obligated to allocate tags each year and responded to inquiry that; the hunters buying the tags simply weren't very good and hadn't killed anything in the area". This company recently bought aditional rights and now holds exclusive hunting access to over 56'000 square kilometers in BC.

These gus definitely aren't the way meateater needs to go sucks to see guys like this being apart of meateater

I want to hear from Jim Shockey, Craig Boddington, Will Primos, Chuck Adams, Bill Winke or Bill Jordan on the podcast. Living legends of the modern hunting world. Not a golfer or song writer who casually hunt on the back 40 or Sydnie Wells. I understand that all the episodes can’t be winners but this sad.

On behalf of wounded veterans, we definitely are listening! Lol. What a great discussion

These guys are responsible for some of the worst music of an entire generation.

Very sorry, but I would much rather see the original video structure and watch Steve walk for miles and miles.

It almost seems like a joke to if we will watch this shit!! Stop it!!!

This was impossible to listen to. Not everybody needs a podcast.

Swing and a miss, Steve. I love just about everything else MeatEater does. But this isn’t it. Couldn’t even make it halfway through with these two

I've heard the best places to hide the pocket knife you forgot to check is behind a stack of books in the airport book store.

This was horrible. I listened to the whole thing because I listen to all of them but it’s been going down hill for awhile. Bring back the old meat eater.

Wow, I have read through a handful of comments and maybe I don't get it. I have listened to about 10 or 12 of the latest podcasts and have been amazed at the diversity of the guests. All of them interesting and educated in their own backgrounds. I love the difference with the common bond to the outdoors. Keep them coming, can't wait for next week

57:52 if you feel bad, next time you are planning on doing work on your property, invite him to help out and afterward tell him "hey if you want to take *insert family member* out hunting, let me know as soon as you have an idea and we'll work something out". My parents have a neighbor who owns about 50 acres in town and several hundred more a few hours away. He takes underprivileged kids hunting and his family hunts it. He also let's me and my dad hunt whenever we want because we'll help out with projects around the property. The only other thing he asks is that we ask, and he'll usually say something like "Sure thing, but don't hunt this area because I'm letting it rest for a kid I'm taking hunting next week".

Just couldn't get into this one. Missed the mark. There are so many epic legendary hunters up here in Canada and around the world that are so much more interesting than these folks. Not sure why Meateater is so American-centric. Guests like this are nothing out of the ordinary, just average hunters having average hunting conversations, which to me is plain dull and boring compared to some of the amazing storytellers out there. Gonna skip the rest, gave this one two attempts but just flat out a dud.

Steve, here's an idea- Collab with this traditional Lakota bow maker, make your own bow, and hunt with it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipqYrNJ-s5ysink.html

Meateater always takes about hunting public land and this dude is so far from that. Will not listen to that podcast. come on Steve.

No wonder modern country is in the state it's in

I need that song

Steve I’ve followed you for years. The things you’ve done for this industry is nothing short of amazing. But these guys aren’t it.

So wait. What’s the point of this podcast? Just some random music guys?? I only got to about 30 mins in, but I couldn’t understand wtf I was listening too. This is coming from a big Rinella fan, but damn things are getting weird in the meateater universe.

Post the bussin with the boys episode plz

Oh the gatekeeping from some of you is over the top. If you don't like something you throw a hissy fit. Get a life.

I live out on 150 acres, and I do the same things year around no matter what time it is. And I have had big bucks walk within feet of my house. For a long time, I would wear camo and put on cover scents and do everything that hunters will do to hunt, and the deer would disappear. Since I changed my habits, the deer are always around.

Yap, Matt Rinella was right

This shit ain't it chief. I thought this channel was about hunting, not forcing a religious angle to things.... Not listening to this crap.

I thought it was fun.

This was by far one of my favorite podcast episodes, out of all that I have watched or listed to, this really captured my full attention. Good on you for mixing it up! Figure out how to bottle this up and you will reach even greater heights!

Sad to listen to these ppl’s perspective on letting others hunt their land. A deer is more valuable than a friendship? Life and our blessings in it are better when shared. I don’t understand the big dude’s “Christian” perspective of “mine mine mine.” There’s no way that Jesus owns land and then prohibits his friends from hunting it…!

Haters always miss the exact same things, because they’re inherently selfish. The reason Steve is doing this, is the same reason he’s getting guys their own hunting gigs on film, he’s creating opportunity for people, because of his success. It’s selfless spreading of the wealth and just because you don’t like every single opportunity he creates for someone else doesn’t mean you’re right about this, not “being it.” Grow a little.

get that A5 Goin again

..This just confirms more for me that Nashville country music artists are a bunch of soft city people singers with no talent. These guys are the talent.

I like.these guys 😊 been there done that been.broke.pissed off never quit ate bbqed wood chuck to survive walked to work Amerika love it

Glad I listened/watched the podcast anyway after reading so much negativity. There is some good stuff in here if you take the time to listen for it. How myopic would you like this product to be? After all, Steve Rinella is a man of many talents and interests. Why shouldn't his guests be the same? Based on some of the comments, I was expected to hear a fire and brimstone, old fashioned, revival meeting style sermon about religion. Have you never heard the expression "God's Country" used to refer to a place of remarkable beauty or idyllic setting? No one was trying to cram religion down anyone's throat. Lighten the hell up and open your perspective.

This second podcast of this crap I listened too. Watched it because Steve on it. This is crap!! What are you thinking on this???

Is Steve a Grizz fan?

Great podcast! God bless everyone 🙏🙏🫶🏻

C U Next Tuesday

In a sea of podcasts this is just another one.. booorrrrriiinnng😏

👍🇧🇷

Anyone else trying the 'Acting Natural' hunting strategy this season? I tried it while messing with the garbage and a buck nearly walked up to start chewing on my lawn chair! 😂🦌

Wow..MeatEater is going downhill real fast.....got caught up is the almighty $$$

Steve live in south East Michigan lenewee county used too hunt uncles 200 acres had access to 1500 acres in neighborhood. Was 20 to 25 hunters at deer camp for ten years bow, gun , black powder always helped the land owners with everything they needed year round to have that right to hunt old folks died off kids got greedy sold 1500 acre's two farms tree huggers 😡 haven't hunted uncles 200 acres in 12.yrs old guys.and uncles died off im 71 ruff shape cousins only got two bucks and a doe best past hunt was 56 deer wish I was 50 again 🤔🤔

you don't shoot the yard rabbit

Steve's wife is BEAUTIFUL....

In God we trust because America is one nation under God

Why go the religous route with the podcast name? I've got to say as an athiest. Im not interested in watching a hunting podcast thats got a religious bend to it. Your welcome to believe in what ever religion and god you want. But i wont be tuning into you talking about it.

Which God are we talking about? Last time I checked, there was more than one. Omnipotent God ideology is a bad look, IMO. Not to mention land grabbing and reducing access.🤢😵‍💫
