Steven Rinella's Rough Cuts | Oklahoma Whitetail Deer | MeatEater

[@michaelsuch5080]

As an Oklahoma deer hunter, this is what we need to see. We understand you have the opportunity to have these incredible hunts and private land or have a guide and get put on some big game. This one is for the 99.9% of hunters out there that are just trying to put meat in the freezer and hope they have a good enough chance to come across a solid buck once in a while.

[@elijahwalker-brian7599]

Couldn't have said it better myself man. I really needed this, makes me feel so much better about my situation and the hunts I go on and the deer available to me to take. It ain't always easy on sw Oklahoma public

[@AnOKgardener]

A few good hunts shown here and I always love to see Oklahoma whitetails on YT. Obviously the state wants to lower the population, given this years tag/bag regulation, but it pains me a little to see two immature bucks taken by the same hunter, another spike shot by the other.

[@maj3stikq122]

Couldn’t agree more. This is awesome he come to Oklahoma! Wonder what part

[@kurtissmith4555]

Rinella the ambassador to the hunting world , love that he admits where he went wrong with his shot and they air that on the episode

[@elijahwalker-brian7599]

I needed this on a deep level. Hunting southwest oklahoma public aint easy, and to see accomplished hunters make mistakes, be real and have no shame in taking spikes and bucks with racks that arent what you see on the socials and have a hell of time doing it anyways makes me feel like im not all that bad. Thank you steve and tony

[@4756howard]

Amen! Social media has polluted many minds. Spikes and does are great and far more fill the experience of hunters’ great journeys than the once in a lifetime buck that so many think that have to achieve to be a good hunter. Show that to a young man or woman and they’ll think they’re not accomplishing much because of their lack of a trophy.

[@maj3stikq122]

Yesss Oklahoma public hunt is a GRIND. Goodluck brother

[@christopherlancaster8244]

At first I was skeptical, being used to seeing Steve doing these extravagant high country hunts over the years. Seeing him hunt a stand just like the majority of his views just hit home for me personally. Thank you! Keep it up you two

[@seanflorian4653]

I love watching an adventure hunt in Alaska as much as the next guy, but this here is the hunting I do

[@domvaughn4083]

I agree, it is nice to see. But alot of the public land hunts out west is the kind of hunting that I do and it's nice to see guys who aren't out chasing monster elk and deer, and being relatable in the same kind of hunting I do is nice

[@rwmack3523]

Easily one of the most engaging videos so far. Love the Peterson tips investment cuts and it's awesome to see Steve looks like he's 11 again in a stand just excited to see anything.

[@thequintonscott]

Being from Oklahoma and hunting Whitetail my entire life, this was one of my favorite episodes! Love the honesty and tips shared and the reality that most people only have access to public land that is archery only. Great episode and thank you for showing off what Oklahoma has to offer!

[@tannersterud6969]

This is one of the best episodes from MeatEater I've seen in a long time.

[@codyblack9200]

I amm from Oklahoma and this is how I have spent my life hunting. Love it!

[@johnnybuckbrush]

Nice to see some public land whitetail hunts

[@FishiganMilligan]

Yes! This is what we’ve all being waiting for, archery, public land and Steve Rinella 👀

[@hawkeye1376]

Yea, its the same old shit that's on every channel

[@terriewise8422]

Public land doesn't need no more attention...nightmare the way it is.

[@LayvinFerguson]

I am really enjoying these Rough Cuts episodes.

[@WCGMatt]

This could easily be my favorite MeatEater episode of all time!

[@mradr05]

Really enjoying listening to and watching Tony, and appreciate the effort to make a video thats a bit more relatable to the average hunter. I would have happily watched a much longer video of this hunt

[@evanmeyer6307]

Been waiting for this episode for a long time, ever since Tony dropped hints on the WtH pod. Worth the wait!

[@gtaylor20]

same...back then I was thinking it would be a meat eater episode...this will do though.. good watch

[@kyleholmes2472]

Great video, great to see Steve in a stand Whitetail deer hunting. Tony, Mark, Janis, Steve, clay and crew keep up the good work 👊🏼

[@braddjohnloutdoors5760]

The best MeatEater personality with the GOAT.

[@Carterhopkins9]

Seriously this is one of my favorite videos open the access to so many hunters that could access public close to the city/right outside. I live up near Tony and Huge shout out to you guys for all you guys do for conservation

[@joehorton01]

I’ve been waiting for this for so long. I’m pretty sure this is right by my house ever since Steve posted a clip on IG about some sticks in the mud

[@DickWinters101st]

What county?

[@SammyMoore-tg5gs]

Thank goodness for Tony Petersen.

[@JasonAJames]

For something dubbed "rough cuts" this was awesome. Rip to the one that got away. This reminds me of the early shows. What brought me here.

[@alanrichard3931]

Loved this episode. This was the type of hunt average guys like me face every time I’m in the woods. Very relatable!

[@FUPApounder3000]

Yesss more public land stuff with mistakes and errors included!

[@RandalMyers-vk4fx]

By far the best meat eaters content I've seen in years. All your stuff is great, but this one felt different. Seeing the less than perfect hunts has always been a huge draw for this channel, and I somehow feel better knowing after all his experience Steve still makes mistakes like the rest of us. Great video guys! Great idea, and excellent content. Thank you for posting this.

[@Bosephmcbeanertonson]

One of my favorite Steve episodes . He took some good shots this show

[@jaredpeterson380]

That's a very honest hunt even if I'm a little biased! Great job, Tony!

[@jonahpuls8671]

One of my favorite episodes. Awesome!!

[@georgenelson3496]

What a great and real episode. MORE!!! That’s the truth for most of us. God stuff.

[@jeremydsmith24]

Brown ones 😅 thats what we do here in South Mississip!! Love every opportunity, though! Had 4 bucks under me this year. It was the best year ever for me!! Thanks for all you do! 👊

[@markblanchette1771]

This video was great!! Love seeing Steve hunting like us common folk 😂 and sharing his youth experiences as a young hunter.

[@518outdoors6]

I’m loving these rough cuts!

[@ryanglass3570]

The way that second buck Steve shot bucked I though it was a heart shot. Wow cool.

[@caseywiley4824]

The flyover shots look eerily similar to where I am hunting in central Texas. I am seeing deer on every 4-6 trips out, but I also didn’t get to do any scouting before the season opened up so I’m absolutely not complaining. I am currently using a 12 gauge with rifled slugs, but as I become more proficient & confident I will also be using my crossbow next season, and I will be chasing pigs until then. I am also noticing the same thing that the fella described in the video with reduced / different sign, but I am definitely beginning to see it easier than the first time I went out.

[@GrandDungeonDad]

Loved this as others have said so good to see you boys stand hunting on public land. This past week on the opener I dropped a young doe with my rifle in Michigan. I couldve waited for a buck but Michigan has a problem. There are 10-12 does to every buck and no one wants to take does. Reported kills for the county on the 15th there was 100 more bucks taken than does. It was also my first time back in the woods in awhile. It was all public land. There were a ton of people. What they said about having a plan A B C and D was not wrong.

[@klubj57]

this is so funny, i was kind of forced to stop bow hunting a little over 12 years ago and got an opportunity to hunt some land this year and so many little things that i definitely knew at one time that i had to just stumble through so far this fall. So Tony definitely hit the nail on the head with the more relatable hunts thing lol

[@andyleblanc1564]

This episode could of just as easily been my buddy’s and I in the woods sitting in trees bow hunting white tail. Nice to see Steve get a bow kill!! Great video series. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@Sniperbead]

This was by far my favorite episode Steve! ❤ and I love the oohp still alive in the end and the look on your face!!

[@MarcDub-y5v]

man this show is the best

[@patcoyable]

"A gar hole, is basically a spot that sucks" NEEDS to be a soundbite and used often. Tony is the best. Yall don't use him enough

[@bob2.22]

Good to see you in Oklahoma

[@DerekBraid]

Tony is the man! More relatable content indeed welcomed. Delivering on public land spots, great video with the gym content mixing things up. Clearly never used a whiteboard before, need to jack up the font size fella! ;) Great video, thanks for this.

[@b_bogg]

I’m 36 and just picked up bow hunting. Glad to see a new bow episode of meat eater!

[@adrianstoltzfus7941]

Awesome episode! One of my favorites by far , But every episode is great.

[@loganmaddocks4703]

I love how Steve admits that as soon as the odds arent in his favor hes a "if its brown its down" hunter.

[@josephvoight3820]

Great stuff. Really like the way this is presented. It's more like what me and my friends are doing here in TN.

[@Eräkammarinpojat]

My favourite video so far! Already excited for future videos! Guys you are a big ispiration to our own videos!!

[@conzo2166]

Meateater is great no matter where or what steve hunts. Doesnt need to do traditional whitetail hunting. Theres nothing wrong with it tho. The best part has always been steves reflective nature and his varied hunting knowledge. Thp and steve would be a fun white tail hunt.

[@BLBasketball23]

Watched this episode, next day took my first buck ever thx Steve

[@justflylow]

Great episode with some great tips! I think this is my favorite episode so far!

[@CTbowjunkie]

Great episode

[@chads4556]

Rinella is definitely more of a gun hunter, but it's really cool to see these episodes where he does pick the bow up. Of course I have to appreciate that they always show the ups and downs of hunting.

[@avery2964]

I started hunting when I was nine years old with my dad. When Steve said he used to get terrified at night and that everything started looking like a bear is no joke! Haven’t thought about that in years!

[@sethrosekopf]

Extremely relatable video! Keep em coming! New favorite series!

[@BobleeBBQandOutdoors]

Sucks you didn’t find the first one but awesome buck to redeem yourself. Tony congrats on your two bucks!

[@makariosmacris9283]

Would love to see Steve come try and get a general season blacktail buck in Oregon

[@lindsaym9445]

I feel ya! Did the exact same thing this season too. It ate at it me all next week, but sent many arrows at the target ensuring Im ready again. It sucks 15:58

[@alexanderdenney3895]

Much better thumbnail than 2 days ago.

[@thenewhumandesign]

This was actually really interesting. Also I like catching gar

[@dantheokiesooner7048]

So happy to see Steve in Oklahoma!!!! Hopefully y’all got him a fried onion burger !!!

[@rustyshackleford8149]

As a life long hunter (35 yrs thus far), I do believe their should be an "honor system tag" for "wounded" and "potentially mortally wounded" animals that deduct from your tag allocation. My group and I do this on our own due to having multiple tags (instate/resident) so it isn't the end of the world to burn a tag, but it would make people think, and possibly have a ethical/moral conversation with themselves that may help in large numbers. However, I am not an internet influencer, nor tv personality that may only get one tag for OK, or WY or NE for my production. My .02 cents. For what that may be worth

[@RogueWoodsman]

While i agree with your ethic. You wound you tag it looks like Tony killed 2 deer so I would presume steve had 2 tags as well. But i could be wrong, hopefully not wishful thinking. They shouldve taken an opportunity to promote that idea tho.

[@StevenSchwartz-eb7jp]

Two buck tags in OK!

[@ABCnTul]

Oklahoma doesn't have individual tags anymore. You pay one larger price per method of take and it covers all the deer you take with that method.

[@ABCnTul]

​@@RogueWoodsmanOklahoma doesn't do individual tags anymore

[@turnbulltacticalandoutdoors]

@@rustyshackleford8149 watch out. You're gunna piss off all the shitty unethical bow hunters

[@n8ivemafia1]

Awesome hunt

[@TheHuntingEngel]

More of this!! We love your channel & to be honest never thought about the fact that you never hunt this way! So it was really new and fun to watch you navigate it all. It's the only thing I ever do - my husband goes on hunting trips but I've only ever hunted in NJ - let us know if you ever need a NJ contact. 😉

[@TheHuntingEngel]

Beautiful buck by the way!!

[@J_G_Romero_1973]

⚠️I hunt nothing but public not all of us have the connections really. I’ve been fortunate to be very successful with a bow and rifle. I’m glad to see Rinella doing it like the rest of us!

[@stevetipton7151]

Loved this... More "relatable" Steve content please.

[@thewoodsoutdoorchannel]

Good episode guys. Thanks for sharing.

[@frankandhankoutdoors]

That was an epic hunt! Steve's patience definitely paid off. That bull was a monster! The scenery was incredible too. Makes me want to plan a trip to Alaska! 🏔 Moose hunting seems brutal though, 100lb loads?! No thanks! 😂

[@GrowinwithAJ]

oklahoma is awesome hunting i love living here. ive got 2 already this year archery and muzzleloader would be 3 ( monster wide buck ) but hit a branch. just hope i get a second chance

[@RichardJackRobertson]

It was the whiteboard that clinched it for me . Real sense of relief there - whars the dawg?

[@buydirtlife]

Absolute great episode man! Keep them coming, great Content!

[@itz_dinkz]

These out of staters man… just killing everything 😂

[@maj3stikq122]

This is awesome he came to Oklahoma! Wonder what part? Hell come back! You can hunt on some private land here in eastern Oklahoma! The foothills of the ozarks

[@MattySnowBall]

Nice deer brotha, love to see the public land stuff

[@connorkropp6017]

Love this kind of video!

[@jdshilling44]

Tony has inspired me to shoot a spike this year after watching how easily they drag 😂

[@Claire-h2e]

Rinella “rough cuts” …. Beyond awesome! Keep them coming PLEASE

[@nativemotoracing]

I would love to hunt with Steve in Northern Michigan or anywhere for that matter. Love what y’all do.

[@DawsonDiede]

Great vid

[@carollarsen7673]

Nice small 8 pointer 🦌never hunted in Oklahoma just in Northern Wisconsin and East Montana with my husband and son have only shot white-tail doe and mule doe, but our living room does have several buck mounts from my son and husband, I only have a nice Northern Pike mount

[@n8ivemafia1]

More content like this!!!

[@rodneystone3848]

Great video.

[@moisenpuchem4938]

Is there Steven Rinella? I'll watch.

[@RedmanOutdoors366]

Nice one Brother Cool 😎👍💯🔥🇺🇲

[@RonaldRasmussen-sz1uz]

Sticking with it, good going.

[@wildlifephotogmedia]

All of the camera guys watching this know exactly this feeling.

[@soonerfrac4611]

I’m torn. As a lifelong Oklahoma hunter I love seeing people come here. But now that I almost exclusively hunt public lands the uptick from out of state hunters has been crazy!!! I even have spoken with a Texas wildlife biologist who said he hunts here even over the lands he manages just across the border.

[@Hentylion]

I know! The pressure has skyrocketed in the last few years. I'm sure the recent videos will only help with that. Glad to know there's hunters still but we have very little public anyways, the deer can't take much more than this lol

[@soonerfrac4611]

@ I’m not sure where you are but the reality is we’re far more blessed than most realize with the amount of public land. Not saying it’s not getting hit more because it obviously is. The local game warden told me that’s why they upped the out of state tag prices. Even then it’s a steal! Buy your archery tag and license and it’s good all season for all your deer! Where else does something like that for as cheap as it is!

[@willwieboldt7357]

Just curious but why don’t they use lighted nocks?Especially for filming.

[@roylove276]

Congratulations, Steve, you & the crew did a great tracking job.

[@funkbro01]

The realism of this one was cool.

[@johnkoerner7927]

I would love more public land whitetail hunts with Steve it’s more relatable to me

[@brandenbreeze1860]

Definitely east of I-40 with those trees!! And definitely not dragging a yearling out like that in western Oklahoma!! Eastern deer are the size of our fawns

[@laramie1222]

Little disappointed there was no conversation around a grill with a recipe at the end; but love the idea of a few more achievable hunts.

[@branchandfoundry560]

Same here. when it ended I was like, where's the meat and the eating?

[@keyton3772]

I believe it’s part of the whole rough cuts series

[@Sundog0811]

Wow..how do you train a deer to be that still? Incredible.

[@bullybreeds4637]

Camera man says I was on one. You were on Steve's back what are you recording

[@fishinarkansas3348]

Damn 21:20 did you have to finish him off with a neck shot? Either way nice to see steve in a tree hunting whitetail!!

[@williamharrison9749]

Anyone recognize this public land? Dry creek with that many persimmons !!!

[@CristianoSP88]

Obra de arte, obrigado pelo magnífico trabalho, 🇧🇷.

[@hunt_trap_fish]

Tony out here doin' the Lord's work smokin' dinks. Artemis would be proud. Can't wait to for WI rifle season to open in 9 days. Does and dinks; they fill the freezer and they eat great.

[@user-cz2md9wn3n]

It’s nice to see a realistic scenario that every hunter has experienced. It’s an unfortunate reality.

[@joshuaparks6892]

Happens To The Best Of Us. At Least They Got Some Meat In The End. ❤

[@ajm.5160]

NEEDED IT MR. RINELAA!!!

[@SouthernColoradoWildlife]

What did I miss, Steve parks a new Chevy Duramax but is then outside his Ford F150 from previous videos.

[@keyton3772]

It’s Tony getting out of the ford
