I kinda cant wait for when Steve is like 75 and he just films himself sitting in a deer blind spitting his wisdom as he waits for deer to come by.

[@williamsk8es]

And it’s a different show haha

[@christopherkendrex8075]

His narrative and written word are impeccable

[@JamesClark-lw6sw]

What wisdom???

[@CCeja]

@@JamesClark-lw6swdon’t hate he has more wisdom then any other person his age. You damn key board warrior

I love how he said, "What if I die from it?" as he takes a drag on a cigarette..

[@AlphaQHard]

Cigarettes are at least enjoyable, fleas are not.

[@toddslichter7831]

😂

[@active4delta]

Bro got fleas from that jackrabbit and still wanted to keep hunting after Ronny was done. Steve, you’re a savage!

[@bumpoclock]

Man, fleas and ticks are the WORST.. I dont blame Ronny for wanting to pack it in lmaoooo

[@Night-Jester]

Steve is such a positive go get em attitude guy. He got trichinosis and just brushes it off. Swell attitude.

[@bretpetrie7044]

It's just fleas lmao.

[@marktracy2577]

Ronny is one of the only folk that gives Steve shit. love it.

[@cj7069]

Ronny is hands down one of my favorite guests to watch. Him and that southern crawfish/rice grower. I think his name was Bud.

@@cj7069 thank you, i thought you meant an episode of the show rather than the podcast

[@Doomguy289]

one of my favourite episodes. wish you guys did more upland bird episodes in general.

[@dallasedc2976]

The banter of best friends in frustrations and success is always entertaining and awesome to watch…especially these two

[@KC-7mm]

Only hunting show I’ll watch the reruns. These guys produce a great show glad to see them become so successful they earned it.

[@mightyORFEN]

Ronnie the legend.

[@thirdiprodigy3579]

Everyone needs someone like Ronnie in their life 🤣

[@lunkydog]

Ronny is in the top 4 of my favorite guests you've ever had.

[@bjbrown01]

I love this kind of angry hunting buddy!

[@natemiller448]

Lol, We all have one.

[@saltedllama2759]

Ronny seemed like he wanted to do as little walking as possible. Multiple times he would say, "why don't you go walk up there, and I'll just stay put in this low area..." or, "are we going back to the truck now, or...?" :D

[@scottsix8765]

You two need to do more hunts together. I for one really enjoy them , lost my best hunting buddy 12 yes ago and it really sux

[@roxanaanderson5476]

I'm sorry for your loss. Tell your hunting stories and he lives on. I feel confident in saying, he still hunts with you, every time you go.

[@anthonyanderson4530]

Always a fun episode when these two guys are together. Old friends catching up with each other doing some hunting.

[@jtwilderness9136]

Growing up hunting grouse in the northern LP in thick swamp and aspen, it amazes me that a relative of the ruff grouse would live in such seemingly open lands. Definitely a much needed trip someday, or even for upland birds in the plains.

[@jessicah7247]

Keep the high quality re-releases coming. Love the high fidelity 1080p encoding--- Much better than when I watched on Netflix and your website years ago!

[@Gr8JewBear]

Those flees ain’t no joke I just had them tear me up 😂

[@MrHaterplease]

I love Ronny hes my favorite. Him and the dogs need a show lol

[@augustingarnier4625]

I come for the hunting, but stay for the cooking!

[@zacharycook5639]

I just re-watched the old dusky grouse video with Ronnie. So glad to see there are more hunts with him

[@johnnyballgame7339]

Ronny looks like he just stepped out of 1955 with his dark-rimmed glasses and cigarette smoking. Reminds me of being a young kid hunting with my Grandpa...love it.

[@CatFarmAgriculture]

You shoot so well, every shot is precise and impressive!

[@SterlingCorrodusCounterCulture]

Two guys in the outdoors. Good banter and good food in the end. That's the life🎉

Awesome flushing Labs! Never seen white and orange ones, but man can they flush! MeatEater and Ronnie are gonna MSGA - "Make Smoking Great Again"!

[@Night-Jester]

I really like the friendship between Steve and Ronny. :)

[@BeansBudsNBrews]

Holy 💩 when he started sauteeing the heart and liver I got the biggest nostalgia flash of my life. Grew up eating pheasant and quail wings and all kinds of liver, gizzard and hearts.

[@mikehobbs7421]

Love all the meat eater content, but I have to say the best episodes are when Ron and Steve get together.

[@jimmiemeeks9795]

That's what's life's about right there . Eddie McGowan was mine . U can never take back so much memories 😊 miss u buddy

[@tufluffy]

Sage grouse are active in the early morning and evening, and like to lay under brush in the hot mid-day. When frying sage grouse, you don't wanna cook them for too long or else it will be tough meat 👍🏽

[@earlshaner4441]

I love these re-runs

[@lewismooney3941]

As soon as he picked up that rabbit I was like “ enjoy the fleas!”

[@collinmc90]

Man. Sage grouse hunting looks fun. There has been some great sage grouse rehabilitation where I am in Central WA. Starting to see more of them around. Pretty cool. I love grouse so much. To me they are such an interesting bird. So "simple" yet so good at survival. They really can put up a challenging hunt if you step off the roads.

[@shephusted2714]

this was a good cook - nice variety of cuts and methods

[@joem4551]

More hunts w/ Ronny and Kevin Murphy please!

[@scottleggejr]

Gov's a gun! I'd vote for him 100%!

[@threiken]

loved hunting sage grouse with my dad when I was kid in Wyoming..

[@Kembleoutdoors]

Wish I was able to actually find these guys in season and not just on accident every once in a while.

[@markmcintire4767]

It looked for all the world like Homie Ron was smokin a blunt! It was split and rolled!

I think he rolls his own lil cigarillos, i seem to remember something on an earlier episode about it. But that would be dope if he was chiefin on a blunt

Steve. Stevo.. hey... did you think for one second to ask a local expert where the birds were? Dude the Badger was right there! WTF Man?! 😂

[@Americanstruggle]

I dig the hunts you go on. From the high price hunts that most of us can't afford, to the small time public land hunts many go on. New to hunting and share your stuff with my son. He play D2 football, while studying to be a veterinarian. He's super 2a, loves animals, believes in providing for your family over trophies, and wants to one day be able to afford to support conservation groups, as well as buy land to start up an area himself. Thanks for helping raise a good young man, and best of luck with future content as well as life, and hunts.

[@rediron44]

Fun episode. These different guests are great.

[@craighoover1495]

My first sage grouse hunt was when I was new to hunting at all and all I had was a 35 pound re-curve take down bow that my brother and I learned to shoot. Well, I might add. I had a couple of arrows with blunt points (dum-dum) on them. I figured on hitting one on the ground since in school we had approached these during class and I figured I could get a shot. My hunting companion later said I looked impressive. He was kind enough to gift me one of the birds he had shot with a shotgun. I immediately entered the market for a shotgun.

[@teodorogarciajr.6210]

Nice touch on the Modelo 😮‍💨

[@tufluffy]

I'm thankful there are lots of Sage Grouse on my reservation. Not many of the people hunt them anymore so there's a decent population and ain't too hard to find.

[@jaysendanley3766]

The way you describe things is like the voice in my head speaking.

[@cowboywayoflife8116]

Come on out to Utah, we have lots of sage grouse! I can take you out for some!

[@epsteined3899]

Alot smoother than the Mountain Grouse episode lol

[@ngn_vetpath]

Steve please do a video with Eric Forester hunting chukars. If you combine it with wild sheep hunting it is going to turn into an epic.

[@Lexidezi225]

I’ve lived in northern Nevada my entire life and have only seen one sage grouse in my front yard lol. I have seen some snowcocks up in the rubies but those aren’t native. The grouse population is having a hard time with the damn feral horses and pinyon/juniper encroachment

[@ostadoc]

Great episode!

[@kevensantoscardoso]

Yay! One more in. I liked!

[@David_Griggs]

My old man grew up in Eastern Montana...He talked about mixed flocks of sharptails and sage hens numbering in the 100's....that was in the late 40's early 50's....All the locals were of the opinion that sage hens were unfit to eat.....they all wanted to shoot pheasants...... Now they are all but gone.

Hey Steve, Prairie chicken hunting in Kansas?

[@Budsport_TV]

This sounds like you might as well just do this in a day you want to go on a long hike. Don’t even look at the day as a hunting trip. Look at it as of it were an all day bird watching hike where you might be able shoot some of em.
