Cal has turned into one of my favourite online personalities. Just a genuinely good dude.

Your Face anti gun owns the controlling shares and gave them 10 million dollars look it up. These guys don’t care if we keep our guns as long as they get another season on Netflix

[@ticebain]

These last 2 Cal in the Field shows have been absolutely excellent. Keep up the great work meateater. It’s fun watching Steve’s old content that I had never seen, but these shows are a great mix of entertainment and information

[@roddammit5510]

The writing, editing and camera work are all top notch. These guys really do set the bar. Keep up the stellar work.

These guys are woke anti gun sellouts

[@mastadon7771]

@@thehunt3652 Alright you’ve got your panties in a bit of a twist and you’re posting on every comment. Why don’t you go research your claims a bit more and you may save yourself some time and heartache. Also, the term woke is not related to anti-gun. That word is reserved for the truly out-of-touch with reality type. Not to say this is a rare type these days.

[@thehunt3652]

Cam Gregg I did my research and anti gun owns the controlling shares of meateater and gave them 10 million dollars so I’m pretty sure they are owned by anti gun. And they are woke because all the libtard bull shit they push Steve said he voted for Biden I guarantee cal did also

[@jdyun8697]

Fun fact. The "blood" along the spine in the fish cavity is in fact not blood. It is the kidney 😁

I was going to comment this as well! Always good to know anatomy

What !??? !! I did not know that. Cool thank you my friend. Thats cool.

It’s both. The kidney is full of blood cells, because along with the spleen, it produces both red and white blood cells.

[@antonkuhn971]

Atta boy Cal, conservation is the key! Thanks for sharing, and keep up the great work Meateater squad!

[@Verlisify]

Fishing with Cal is hype content

[@scottleggejr]

7:10 sums that up.

[@Redbird1504]

Wouldn't have guessed this was your kinda stuff. No offense meant.

[@hughten]

Love the conservation theme of the last 2 eps. We are stewards of the land for our kids and their kids.

[@codyantrim8700]

Amen brother

[@jonruger]

I love these episodes of Cal getting into the conservation side of hunting and fishing. It’s a subject many outdoorsman lack knowledge in for sure.

[@jgibbles8028]

I cant say this about much of the other KZbin channels, or any other programs for that matter.. but meateater produces the most beautiful content. The detail to the landscape, wildlife, and stories to go with it. Yall get on a personal level with your guests and guides. You show the connection that all TRUE outdoorsmen share. Its not all about gear and sponsorship, I appreciate that so much. Great work fellas

[@deltronzero9]

the fly fisherman was sweatin' while talking about eating fish haha

[@deadeye4256]

cause he wants a piece of cal

[@redwade7803]

This series of videos from Meateater is by far some of the best.

[@raceeiland144]

I love watching Steve hunt but as a wildlife biology student it’s awesome to watch Cal work with state agencies

[@8.21productions9]

any real fisherman loves a top water bite. there’s really nothing more exciting than watching any fish blow up on a top water lure. whether it’s a fly, popper, wake bait, etc.

[@Verlisify]

Its even better when you are trying to get someone into fishing or explain why you fish to your friends. I still get giddy when a bluegill hits a red and white bobber too, being able to see the hit in some way is exciting

[@57Adventures]

So blessed to live a few minutes from The Snake here in southeast Idaho. An amazing place to live, work, and play.

[@russellalexander93]

Loving Cal's stuff... As a middle school science teacher I share these with my classes. THANK YOU!

My family had a cabin on a small private lake in Minnesota. Fish and Wildlife came through to manage the fish population by basically dynamiting a section of the lake to remove a portion of the population and allow the remaining fish to grow bigger.
