Hey Steve I hope you see this! I used your "old saying" during this whitetail season in Idaho. My wife was giving me the business about looking off the forest road, in case I observed a buck on our way to our hike / glassing spot. I just kept telling her, "a fresh set of eyes, gathers more beans." After the third time she angrily said where the hell did you get that? I said ol' Rinella! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the saying that annoyed my lovely spouse during our hunt!

[@brandongreen90]

It is catching on.

[@zachmiller9955]

That is one of the best sayings I’ve heard. When I drop anything and can’t find it, I always end up going with the classic. “Hey, can you help me find this? You know what they say….a fresh set of eyes, finds more beans.”

[@loganmaddocks4703]

Definitely applies to following a pin drop blood trail!

[@WildSideOfLifeYT]

Haha gotta take her out crabbing and bust out the ol Puss In Da Pot for her next 😂

[@NickMiller-1989]

As a big golfer and hunter, this is epic 🤙

[@michaeltchurch]

Had the pleasure to walk (loop) a few holes at the Sony Open Pro-Am last year with Brian and talked about fishing, hunting and golf. Guy is a stud and a great American! Solid to have on the show!!

[@sking52]

I love it when my two favorite activities collide. Been waiting on this one.

[@Nick.Easton]

Avid hunter all my life. Got into golf a couple years ago, and talk about frustrating, difficult, time consuming, and addictive. Reminds me a lot of bow hunting. Great guest!!!!!! Down to earth love to see that in that industry.

[@johnirving4802]

This was a great episode! Brian seems like the man, I hope “the Butcher”, Steve, and Cal are on a episode soon.

[@chasec5913]

Brian is a DGD! Here for this episode!

[@DerekBraid]

"The Butcher" is also co-assigned to golfer Jon Rahm in some circles. Great episode regardless, Harman very down to Earth and happy for him to get respect he deserves in golf and elsewhere!

[@LA_i6]

Rahm is the buoy! 😂

[@jasonmorgan3177]

This will be a good one! Excited

[@PapaJoeFPS]

Some kids episodes of MeatEater to encourage youth hunting would be great.

[@ggray19]

Go with the easy stuff (small game, etc., even target practice with guns and bows), then of course some Western hunts should certainly be in the mix... and don't leave out the chatter and happy accidents by hunter and game that end up making the story, with or without meat in the end.

[@austinsuter1990]

I developed a flinch as a kid that took me years to get rid of, and a big part of it was reacting to blast. Steve is 100% here.

[@ELCONDUCTOR]

😂 1:26:48 “That’s a dead deer” 😂😂😂

[@Will-ge7ri]

As an avid non-golfer, I’m excited for this.

[@Wtz-jx3wh]

Same

[@richardcrose14]

Fire…great episode

[@golfer4deer238]

Great episode

[@mattdyne]

The UK is a mixed bag when it comes to hunting. Im in the UK and a big fan of the show!

[@ggray19]

You're missing some quality media not videoing and sharing those kid hunts. SO MANY lessons for the adults involved. Never a dull or quiet moment, but still successes to be had... Great stuff!

[@dlind24]

Pretty sure he is.

[@ggray19]

@@dlind24 Here's hoping... that said, I could see maintaining a spot for family/life in general that isn't exposed to the scrutiny of fans/the World.

[@luisbutto3115]

Been waiting on this podcast 🦌

[@Verlisify]

The "Depends on your age for the reason" had me laughing hard

[@-10ranch]

Well I think you answered you turkey problem, here is my suggestion that was overlooked and is what I actually do and our numbers are increasing where the rest of the state is decreasing in turkey population. Keep up the trapping of predators and take as many racoons, skunks and bobcats as possible. I know some states don't let you do the bobcats but should, so do what you can there. The hogs can and should be trapped we trapped 150+ hogs our first year and the boy-scouts were very grateful to turn them into sausage for their campouts. also maintaining a presence on the property helps deter the hogs from coming back onto your property. I am not sure your quail numbers but if you don't have any or much and they used to be there then bobcats are your main problem. My rule of thumb on bobcats is if you see one then you probably have five.

[@deanish]

Love when my worlds collide this was a great podcast

[@dukevan5468]

Great episode guys!!! You should do a meateater episode with "The Butcher" go down and get some ducks and hogs!!

[@blish207]

Great show !

[@spencerkloc2893]

About time danggit!

[@samdennis4752]

As a Brit, this may surprise you.... but our mainstream media is not generally a good representation of our people, hearing Brian was a hunter meant he was the only golfer i actually wanted to win... or even knew his name

[@awsp002]

Great podcast. Can you please link the guests social media? I'm 50 and can't find it.........Thank you

[@kanagawakenji7]

35:10 "Hot becomes hot and cold becomes cold" ... well damn, I might be sick? Also, skeptical hippo eyes from Jani

[@lorenmullins1818]

You guy's should have Uncle Si and Jay Stone on your podcast.

[@TacticalXRays]

ao what i've taken away from this, is that a caddy is sort of a spotter for a sniper

[@Will-ge7ri]

This guys getting solid diet advice from 1992😂. Good job on cutting the sugar, but eat all the red meat and butter you want brother.

[@ggray19]

Ain't that the truth... go AGAINST everything the government is currently pushing, and you'll find success. So damn sad.

[@samdennis4752]

So i guess fixed arrowheads are better when coming into cinract with bone? But expandable would be better in a flesh only shot? Makes sense i guess

[@davecervo]

We need to spread the word and do everything we can to get Tiger Woods on to talk spear fishing with Steve 🐠

[@matthewdouglas7981]

Awesome

[@johnprice58]

Ther are only two inherit fears: Loud noise and falling. Cork up those little ears!

[@johnprice58]

It might have been more fun to find Mastodon bones wrapped up in Cave Lion hide; I mean, Cave Lion bones inside a Cave Lion skin..... seems right.

[@nicholastobe2216]

I mean. In theory. That's the way they came packaged while they were breathing.

[@briangerhardt2182]

First Lite golf shirts in our future?

[@Rob-vc6xw]

I think Steve would be surprised by how many PGA Tour golfers hunt. In fact many have spent significant time hunting to the obvious detriment of their careers, (looking at you Boo Weekly). Steve Stricker skipped the fall season in his prime multiple times, forgoing easy prize money to go hunting instead. In fact I would say that because of hunting and the overlap with start of the PGA Tour season, 3-4 guys a year put themselves in a hole to go hunting instead of play the fall events and get a ahead start on the season, Brian Harmon is a really good example of that actually. So don't stop at Harmon, there's plenty more hunting golfers out there for you to interview, this is an untapped space in the golf podcasting world.

[@joshespinoza9450]

You know why you’re nicer to her. I’m the same way with my daughter and boys. Had me laughing though.

[@MadeSportsEntertainment]

Come try hockey next

[@dustystephens7387]

Very interested to know what key Brian goes to I’m born and raised in Marathon lobster and Stone crab fisherman. Great Ep!

[@zachbinkley7150]

Golf is fun. Your in a golf cart with a cooler of beer... enuf said

[@seanjones2456]

I hope Brian can afford that Sig Cross for his daughter. I'm not sure Steve knows that Brian won 3 million dollars for the open?

[@MadeSportsEntertainment]

put the country in country club

[@jakewarren704]

How many words in total did Hunter audibly say in this podcast

[@06triton06]

Shoot a real mechanical Grimm reaper will blow through rage is crap. My son draws 45lbs he shoots Grimm reapers they blow through

[@geofflasscock6970]

A golf course is a waste of a good rifle range

[@JeremyReger]

Crazy how the politics keep creeping in... its clear Steven has become more and more conservative.. and Phelps is MAGA to the core.. but I also get that Cal and Janis are very not MAGA.. but interesting it keeps creeping in..

[@Wtz-jx3wh]

Why is that crazy and how does that matter ?

[@JeremyReger]

@@Wtz-jx3wh because Steven has said since the beginning that he wants to keep all this poilitical stuff out of the public eye.. and ever since he had the tuna tournament fisherman on the podcast, he's been taking small jabs and little pokes here and there about Trump and how he's being treated unfairly.. I know Jr was on the podcast, I know Tucker was on the podcast.. but those guys have hunting resumes.. and its just different.. Crazy that Trump has even changed Steven..

[@Verlisify]

"More and more" conservative? He has been using his platform to be more vocal and show its ok to have conservative values in public since we need more of that. Tucker and Trump Jr were on years ago

[@JeremyReger]

​@@Verlisify I am a conservative.. I am a Christian.. lol I am a veteran... Yall need to back down.. I just think its wild that he's coming out now especially when trump has 91 charges against him and people on his team are pleading guilty every week.... lol NOW is the time to come out and say these things? lol

[@Wtz-jx3wh]

@@JeremyReger is Steve wrong that he’s being treated unfairly? And why is this so crazy to you that someone else’s values(good or bad) can have an effect on someone else?
