Steve’s quest for a giant mule deer buck continues in central Idaho. To help Steve in his journey, Ryan Callaghan has offered up one of his best spots as well as his keen spotting skills. The duo backpack hunt in some of the West’s steepest and prettiest mountains seeking the colossal buck of Steve’s dreams. In part two Steve finds the buck he's been searching for his whole life. The dream is realized and Steve and Ryan feast on a slow cooked roast.

Netflix would have contract with MeatEater that it holds distribution rights for X amount of time, and when that’s over, the distribution rights return to MeatEater. It’s much better than Netflix having permanent distribution rights and just deciding not to host it anymore due to bandwidth vs views and so just shelving it.

@skydiver6711 Жыл бұрын

Now this is how a real hunter reacts to shooting a good deer. He just observes it, then walks to it and respects the animal, then is glad in his good fortune and the meat that will feed his family. He doesn't jump up and down and high five everyone around and scream and holler. I love the way this guy hunts.

Just get out there and do it. Last year, in only my second year hunting, I got 3 deer, 3 turkeys, a goose, and some squirrels. I attribute a lot of it to Steve and the whole Meateater crew.

Lastly, it’s crazy how the buck knows trouble is afoot and he needs to scram, you don’t get that big by being in one place too long, but he just cannot resist, you can see him literally struggling with his animal instincts while he knows danger is close by. It’s actually kind of fascinating.

Dude! Dandy, unique, mature. I truly am happy for you Steve. Your path to that buck, through the years, could almost be summed up as one long hunt. You were at that point of desperation where we all get on a tough hunt sometimes. Feeling like we aren't going to see anything. Whether it be a mature or even a legal buck. Only you were talking about your search for that one buck. I thought that was poetic and somewhat ironic. 😊 I have shared this with all my buddies. I've been long time fan of your hunting shows, hunting philosophy, ethics and how you process and cook game. My grandfather taught me all I know about hunting and cooking deer. It's nice to see others that share the same philosophies, processes, and responsibility of being a hunter. Congratulations again!!!

Started hunting a year ago and killed my first and only deer. This year i plan on hitting it a lot harder and looking for some bigger bucks. I come from a family that does not hunt and did not grow up in this passion. It is challenging learning all that needs to be known by yourself but i will continue chasing that feeling i had when i walked up on that little spike buck last year. The off season hunting has really grown into a huge passion of mine and i am waiting with baited breath until hunting season. Part of the reason i went in the first place is because of Steve and Cal's passion for hunting and the outdoors. I can definitely say now i am a lifer when it comes to hunting.
