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

What wisdom???

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

[@ncjones97]

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.

[@Doomguy289]

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

[@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.

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.

[@bjbrown01]

I love this kind of angry hunting buddy!

[@natemiller448]

Lol, We all have one.

[@JB-ig5pk]

For being animal smart….steve should know that you let the rabbit sit and cool off and the fleas will leave the carcass when it’s not warm anymore….you never stick it straight into your vest 🙄

[@thirdiprodigy3579]

Everyone needs someone like Ronnie in their life 🤣

[@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.

[@chrisbarnes7981]

Wyoming is lucky 🍀 they have a governor with common sense and is a Republican

[@anthonyanderson4530]

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

[@rwmack3523]

I love seeing guys give steve shit. Yeah, he's a big hunter media personality shaping the industry, but he's also just a guy who got fleas from the rabbit he shot when he ahiulda been watchin' for birds and his buddy won't let him off for it lol

[@bvanlent1]

How about holding off on the smokes for a spell 🙄

[@PewPewVida]

I am itching right now, and am not even there 🙆🏽‍♂️

[@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

[@Bobbybarley1978]

Steve please stay on Ronnie's ass to quit those nasty cigarettes before they take his life. My father loved hunting more than anything but cigarettes took his life at the young age of 50

[@CatFarmAgriculture]

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

[@rosseckstein4183]

Ronny should worry about smoking instead of the fleas.

[@jakemesa3211]

Saying sage grouse tastes like venison tenderloin 🤣… More like venison liver with the texture of 8oz boot leather!

[@JohnCantu-yt9mt]

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

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?! 😂

[@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 👍🏽

[@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.

[@yanyanyan6941]

thats a lot of waste.only eat the breast and the legs.

[@sopraisso1968]

Belíssimo programa! Registro os parabéns ao povo americano por esta liberdade de ter armas e poder caçar! No Brasil pouquíssimas pessoas podem ter armas e, menos ainda, podem caçar (e somente javali, que aqui é uma praga). Interessante que o Presidente da República e Ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal (órgão máximo do Poder Judiciário) não permitem que a população tenha arma para se defender e defender a família, mas eles andam com seguranças armados e gastam milhões em carros blindados.

[@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.

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.

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.

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.

[@DS-md7jn]

After hunting in the Northwest many years and covering many miles in the desert and hunting sage grouse along with following the politics connect to to it, my opinion is the decline of the sage grouse is over grazing with cattle. I'm all for balanced grazing, but not overgrazing.

I am going on my first ever pheasant hunt on November 17 it is at a hunt club so they are not wild I I like it I will go out west and do the real thing. My buddy is a member of the hunt club he set it up for me and my dad all 3 of us are hunting total of I think 20 birds. I bin shooting trap a lot very excited for the hunt this will be the first game bird hunt I will ever go on I have hunted all my life for white tail went hog hunting and squirrel hunting but never pheasant hunt
