These are the kinds of MeatEater episodes that I love.

[@arampathkushan2861]

Exactly. He need to get some comedians to go hunting with him, for example get joe rogan again or something

why can't I subscribe to this channel??I know I was subscribed before, and I don't remember unsubscribing...and now for few days, I know I subscriber few times, and every time that I enter his videos, I see that I'm not subscribed, and now I try, I can only subscribe on personalized, and when I come back, I'm not subscribed!!someone, help please!!

[@tylerdurden4377]

Steven appearing on Rogan was how I got introduced. I am eternally grateful, MeatEater and it's all the co host are pure gold.

[@Slyba_Gaming]

Same I hate meat eater trivia

[@Fastarrow]

Absolutely unbelievable how that Elk stood that long after being shot twice while Steve shot like a champ!

[@seanharris8419]

Old warrior for sure.

[@johnbonamigo5696]

What a tank, he took that lead like it was a pin prick before it actually hit him

[@Verlisify]

Shows how perfect the shot was

[@arancourt5623]

I actually thought he got hit a bit low from where I was seeing the bullets hit, and considering how he just stood there instead of running off, I was guessing it was just a wounded elk, but then he just dropped and I saw I was misjudging the point of impact.

[@elliottobelliotnwaobi4779]

Glad I Didn't have to look far for this comment.

[@Dgow23]

This reminds me of the original Netflix seasons. There is such a great amount of education packed into the episode with great visuals and a great hunting story. Loved this episode and excited for more.

[@loganmaddocks4703]

I agree. Had the old school vibe. Season 2-5 or 6 are the best in my opinion.

[@D_Boone]

I've never really noticed any change throughout the seasons, except for maybe season 1

[@nicksilver_music]

no one ever mentions this, but the music score to MeatEater is amazing, I love the music and how if adds to the episodes

[@NDD45]

The music is what draws me in! I’ve mentions before but season 9 had some of the best scores.

[@ajorelli6875]

The podcast music ending reminds me of a show a watched when I was a little kid. Snowy river

[@spencerkloc2893]

​@@NDD45seasons 7-9 were by far the best. Like art, and Steve was so poetic and raw in those seasons.

[@NDD45]

@@spencerkloc2893absolutely!

[@NDD45]

Love the shot placement. Absolutely beautiful.

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

Absolutely beautiful to see you end up taking out the old gladiator on his last leg. You could tell he was a warrior by the way he took two to the heart and stood there for a minute contemplating how beautiful and difficult his life was.👍

[@saltedllama2759]

Steve should be in every episode. No exceptions.

[@thomasmcgrathtv]

Isn’t he?

[@leetethin5334]

I'm pretty sure he is. The other series and videos he isn't, but meateater itself is Steve's show.

[@SouthPawFPV]

Meateater Is his show. He is in every episode

[@austinalford9947]

He runs meat eater so he can’t unfortunately be in every single episode cause he’s running a business. Agreed tho he should be in every one.

[@leetethin5334]

⁠@@austinalford9947He’s in every episode of meateater already. Being in every piece of other content they release would be an impossible task because of the sheer quantity, but also, yeah, he can’t be wasting his time on all these hunts he doesn’t have a tag for when he’s got so much other stuff to do.

[@bradleydennis1263]

If you didn't get the picture that that bull was a fighter from looking at his antlers, the fact that he took 2 perfect bullets to the heart and still stood there is crazy!!

[@scottfaldon2]

I appreciate Steve putting in ear pro before taking the shot. That's something I wish I'd started doing decades ago.

[@cjsawinski]

What did you say?!

[@jaadmaan8156]

@@cjsawinski HE SAID; HE APPRECIATES STEVE PUTTING IN EAR PROTECTION BEFORE TAKING THE SHOT

I like how it didn't even reach his ears

[@ks5553]

As someone who has never hunted I absolutely love this show! Steve has a gift for eloquence and the whole thing is just beautiful. Please make 12 more seasons🖤

[@danielmilling9592]

try their podcast, so good

[@PotHead98]

He’s posting new episodes so fast I love it. No wait time at all between seasons. We had to wait so long between seasons on Netflix. Steve probably has so much footage he can just put out. Doesn’t matter what he’s doing it’s good tv

[@spencer5438]

This hunt was last November

[@jaadmaan8156]

Last season came out last year, they just reposted it to youtube recently

[@D_Boone]

It was the same time. 1 year between season. Been that way for a decade. Lol

[@sherlockbonez]

And he also said there are only 6 episodes this season.

[@robk5745]

Every episode for quite some time has been an absolute banger! Meat eater crew killing it and the hunting community just gets to sit back and enjoy the hell out of it. We are all lucky to have pioneers like you guys ❤

[@SamuTapio]

Hunting in way backcountry above the arctic circle I can confirm seeing an animal and knowing it hasn’t probably seen any humans before you is just indescribable feeling. Man I’d love to experience it also with elks.

[@Hentylion]

Man that's the dream. I'd love to hunt up there someday. The populations down here are much higher but obviously so are the people sadly

[@jasonenglish458]

I have never shot a gun, nor hunted, I love the approach to wilderness that Rinella and his teams have. Keep them coming,. Inspiring as an American.

[@realryandugger]

Mr Rinella, Remember the day you were standing in the back of the Toyota truck heading up the hill on Molokai when you got that pig? Do you remember the house you passed after turning up off the paved road? I was on that deck and you waved to me. I had no idea who you were then, until I saw the Hawaii episode on tv months later. At the time I thought you were just a tv personality but after years of watching you on KZbin (because of that episode) I can truly say I admire and appreciate the way you represent us hunters to the masses. Wish I could have road up to “green grass” with y’all that day and jumped off to hunt axis before you went down into honuli’wai valley. Would have been a pleasure to meet you.

[@alexanderrochholz4194]

MeatEater is the best hunting show of all time!! My wife will even watch it!! Keep them coming Steve and crew!!!

[@JustinReed-lv1gc]

What I honestly love about hunting is the time spent with my dad who is getting up there in age and now keeps talking about the time he doesn’t have left, and I have all these wonderful moments of just being out in my home of Laramie Wyoming spending time with my pops joking I wouldn’t give anything for that. Yeah getting something is nice, and adrenaline filling, but it’s the time you spend out in the wilderness as our ancestors did, living off the land, now I’m going to be having a kid I’m glad my father showed how so that I can one day do the same with mine🙏

[@thefishinglor6931]

Love this! Steve explaining irony was too funny lol

[@jameshawkins5707]

This season has started out insane! This has the makings to be the best season yet! We are truly blessed

[@ramos208]

Great Steve has turned into a road hunter 😂

[@spacedong3059]

I was thinking the same lmao. Maybe the shots made it look worse than it was. What are the laws for “road hunting” in this area?

[@D_Boone]

There is a difference between spotting an animal from the road, and being a 'road hunter'. The distinction is important.

[@mikebarker6628]

It’s funny how that happens. You can spend days hiking around the hills and then spot one about 400 yards from camp 😂

[@tylercox4387]

Seriously though! Hard to pass up when they're just standing there!

[@ramos208]

@@D_Boone it’s a joke so relax

[@scottdeason2940]

One of the best shows out there. MEATEATER.

[@kevingass1271]

Bless that bull for the food he provides. Much respect for that mighty animal.

[@KepmukNesshart]

Thank you for everything you do for conservation!

[@joshwakelam5371]

Looks just like Southern Alberta, snow and all. Love the rockies, hard hunting, beautiful surroundings.

[@daviddemand6856]

Great timing! One year ago today myself and two of my best friends hit the backcountry for mule deer and elk. We made it to our intended destination to get dumped on with 22” of snow. Packed out an elk the sen cons to last day of the trip. Great times!

[@kevinsnider1493]

Congratulations Steve, what a beautiful Elk and area to hunt!

[@slush714]

Great episode as always! Amazing how Meateater never gets old.

[@gadzks]

I so miss these moments of my own and pray I will someday be able to share them with my son as my father shared them with me. Thirteen years old, it isn't looking good. I started when I was 5 or 6 years old. But I will share them when I can, I promise you that. Thank you for your content, truly appreciated.

[@garthriebe7377]

As a fellow Montanan and avid hunter… I enjoy watching and learning and the entertainment of Meateater! I appreciate the opportunity that was given to you by n that hunt… amazing how that old bull took 2 and was still standing!

[@johnbarr7271]

Life is simple: I see a new episode of Meateater, and I click as fast as I possibly can.

[@dakotamungall3546]

Great way to start the day after a cup of coffee and some good elk hunting and beautiful landscapes

[@benjaminbrown1179]

Just had some fresh straps off a nc buck while watching yall hunt for these tasty morsels. Perfect blend of dinner and a show! Love this life!

[@user-bg2qx5xd5f]

Another great story and great show. Thanks for sharing both.. Steve should be in every episode. No exceptions..

[@rbnh9827]

I savor the meateater eps by not hastily watching tidbits during daytime but actually saving it for my before bed time relaxation. I guess that’s my way of becoming one with nature from hours of construction work and decadence.

[@edromero9149]

Thank you for bringing us along 🙏

[@patricksnyder3446]

that's one thing I truly enjoy about hunting! When I get something I never look back I'm excited with what I got usually I'm the last of the group and have helped and watched the Youngers get theirs! It's just fulfilling to have gotten and know the freezers will be full till the next!

[@ajorelli6875]

I have been waiting for this episode ever since I listened to the podcast about. Awesome episode and knowing what I heard on the podcast makes it that much better. Congrats awesome Bull! and awesome show!

[@elknut2150]

Sure missing my home state watching stuff like this. Been out of state for school in TN temporarily. Excited to get back into those MT mountains chasing elk!

[@JohnFerebee-xt9zo]

So refreshing to hear a simple, yet fresh and honest perspective on the battle between the multiple use concept of states and sportsmen and the preservationist mindset of parks and wolf-groups. Thank you for that.

[@cag2102]

It wasnt honest at all. General otc tags were the rule pre wolves. Steve essentially lied about the reason theres now only 5. Wolves destroyed the N yellowstone herd by 80+ percent

[@Ty-fs9tp]

​@cag2102 yea the bs liberal climate change fanatic vegans definitely want hunting banned for everyone

[@richardjackson3939]

Good shooting and restrained congratulations showing respect to the life of the Elk, nicely done.

[@user-ml7cv7mj1e]

I'll watch anything that Steve is in and love it. But then you Steve in Elk Heaven, and you don't want to blink. I really love these videos. I also love the way Steve thinks and the things he talks about and how he vuse things. I always have food 4 thought after enjoying the videos.

Congratulations Steve, been following you for years now. I’m from the UK and I had the pleasure to visit Glacier National Park back in 2000. I have to say in this video which ever microphone you were using changed the the whole effect of the experience you guys shared. Great Work looking forward to future hunts. 28:56

Awesome episode! That was not the expected ending when you first click that play button, but had to be a rewarding experience.

Keep these coming im not an hunter but I absolutely love this

[@VortexGaming380]

I’d have to agree with what he’s saying, winter came early this year in mid-late October and brought a lot of cold temps and heavy snowfall, im up by the bitterroot area enjoying it all. Nice to see y’all got some hunting in with this early weather.

[@Veemack21]

Man I thought he had that wolf nailed!!!! Smh I felt that pain. It’s so hard using someone else rifle at that range too!

[@matthewfritz7460]

two beautifly placed shots . Nice work

[@letitrest4662]

Really enjoyed your video. I'm a city guy that's always envied being able to get out and hunt out in the wilderness like you do. Now I'm past it, even if I had the opportunity. So watching your video, and especially the scenery is really as good as it gets. I live near Atlanta, Ga. , and this past summer I took a motorcycle trip to Seattle, and of course on the way back I came through Montana. Montana is the one state that I feel like, when you're traveling through, there's just one beautiful picture worthy scene after the other. So beautiful and natural.

[@zap2747]

What a beautiful animal, that old man lived a long life and now is going to be delicious table fare for many to enjoy. I’d always rather see one of these animals taken by hunting, instead of being hit by a car. Great job with the program Steven. This made my day.

7:49 I’ve always wanted to hunt, never have had the opportunity. What you guys do for people is great. And this shot is incredible great job to everyone involved.

[@D_Boone]

What's stopping you?

[@ks5553]

I think that shot is of what they call diamond dust. Only happens when it's so cold that the water in a fog freezes and turns to those shimmering crystals floating in the air. And don't feel bad I am almost 50 and I've never hunted either. Also love this show and would like to get the chance someday.
