Hawaiian Axis Deer Hunting with Jordan Budd

[@liammoodyfilms]

That dude is a straight up artist with the knife and skinning. Never seen someone make it look that smooth and easy.

[@Eric-dr5bj]

He is very skilled to leave no flesh behind without piercing the hide

[@BooneOutdoors208]

No fleshing needed!

[@KRYPTOSPOLLARD]

Only processor on the island. Just gonna guess some numbers, If he's averaging 3 a day, over 10 years, that's 10,950 deer...

[@AndrewStokes-sk4oe]

Yeah not one bit of meat on the hide, all while he was talking to Jordan.

[@clamsoup]

Good job Jordan. Whoever got to edit this one did a fantastic job! In less than 20 minutes we got a history lesson, a biology lesson, watched two good kills, did some skinning, and still got time for a plate. You guys loaded up a 20 minute show to perfection. Props.

[@steffonsmith1270]

The most impressive part of the whole episode is the knife work by that processor. Kids got skills.

[@johndiblasi4803]

Jordan’s low key style is refreshing. Professional, thankful, and focused.

[@fluffywarhampster]

It's good to see Jordan getting more comfortable on camera. The first couple videos she was she was way too quiet for all the great hunting knowledge she has.

[@dmoneyotf1552]

I noticed that too

[@andrewmiller1761]

I could imagine how tough that would be to get used to. I think about it often... knowing every word you say will be critiqued on monday by some internet trolls. That would be tough as hell. props to her and the Meateater guys!

[@Nosleep8558]

I feel like she’s more of a small group oriented person, or at least has been in the past. She’s incredibly competent and intelligent but just doesn’t generally feel the need to talk about it a whole lot so it’s an adjustment for her. She’s a great addition to the cast of characters on meateater.

[@rodgerpate4920]

Jordan is an Excellant! Excellant! Addittion to Meat Eater. Looking forward to seeing more of her episodes.

[@stevenmiddaugh5173]

Jordon needs to become a permanent staple on MeatEater !

[@MrIan1086]

I really admire Jordan's quiet confidence and skill. I think she'll make a great host for Meateater.

[@HelgaHands117]

Love Jordan’s journey on MeatEater. Fresh face and perspective! She’s a natural hunter and super intuitive to new surroundings ❤ great call Steve!!

[@dodgeman4046]

Thats the cleanest skinning job I've ever seen what a professional that guy is

[@ryanmonaghan4816]

LOVED this episode!!! Please let Jordan have a regular show!!

[@privateinvestigator2873]

Top notch skinning skills!

[@robertburke2804]

Nice, Props to Edward as well on his skinning skills!

[@FredColler-g9j]

A very enjoyable video. Nice person, good hunter and low key presentation. I would watch anything in which she is featured. So much better than the other videos (not Meater) where hyper faux he men must accompany any kill shot with Tarzan yodels and chest thumps. Please continue featuring her in more videos.

[@iantaylor9840]

Great job Jordan, glad to see Meateater and Steve are aware of your potential and giving you some opportunities. Great show awesome you had some good luck and managed to get your goals, beautiful animals and the hides look amazing - worth the shoulder carry I'm sure. Thanks again for some great content. All the best from a sunny Scotland, regards Ian

[@NDD45]

Need some more Budd hunts! Great Episode.

[@Frankowars]

Love Jordan episodes, such an interesting person with an amazing knowledge of hunting.

[@frybreadism]

great to see another show w Jordan!

[@KootsD]

Nice one! Jordan is such a dialed hunter. Very efficient. Absolutely gorgeous country to hunt! Thanks to the Meateater team.

[@andyleblanc1564]

Adding one more great addition to the already amazing Meat Eater! Jordan’s awesome. Look forward to more videos.

[@maverickcarey7288]

Hands down my favorite place on earth to hunt. A bit of a trip back in time.

[@marktate4466]

Jordan is a great addition to the meateater crew. It's refreshing she is not so polished and slick. Those sure are pretty little deer.

[@rabooey]

Never once saw Steven Rinella haul a deer out on his shoulders. Jordan rocks.

[@rediron44]

Well, how many have you seen him pack out on his back in game bags?? Dozens

[@Steve-ev6vx]

I ain't doing that where I hunt, to many ticks.

[@rabooey]

@@rediron44Awww what's wrong cupcake, did I strike a nerve? There, there, it's ok.

[@lennaadam3176]

I love how I learn so much more then just hunting:) great episode!! Jordan seems to fit right in!!

[@eirik9454]

Big fan of Jordan's videos, keep 'em coming!

[@rediron44]

Cool episode. Very unique hunting experience there. Really liked this episode

[@craiggordon4228]

Great video Jordan, really enjoy your content very knowledgeable and such good information

[@johnnyrc9304]

I enjoyed this. Jordan has a lot of potential for what she can bring to the ME table. *this made the morning better, I’m in Montana, was going to go hunting this morning, but falling snow and icy roads made me think twice.

[@DAVOinIN]

I would seriously love it if Jordan had her own series!

[@joshwagner8468]

Man I love watching these series. Let's go 😊

[@huntsnewy]

Super cool spot to punch deer, And Jordan is pretty dang cool at what she does too!

[@codyj7532]

Jordans best stuff yet.

[@jordangraham-baker3819]

Hope this will be a Full time show, she's good, and we need more content,

[@lexlax999]

Great video rewatching it

[@matthewcashman5390]

Fantastic Hunting Trip Jordan 🤗 You Are An Amazing Hunter And I Love Your Knowledge And Expertise 👌🦌👌 ❤

[@1972Konaboy]

Looked like a great time!!!!

[@alfy088]

Jordan has to be up there with one of the top shooters at meateater, she looks so comfortable behind the trigger!!!!

[@FranciscoGarcia-ni9eg]

Excellent job, Jordan 😊

[@kaleoariola]

Right on! Mahalo for sharing!

[@makapa2u]

Aloha and enjoy - Remi Warren been hunting for years and love the deer - pigs and goats 🐐

[@kenstygles6854]

Great job Jordan

[@mrsockeye]

Cool hunt. One of my favorite places I have hunted.😊

[@elkhunter76]

Great video Jordan!

[@rwmack3523]

Oh man, I see that gen 3 Primos Trigger Stick. I've got the short variant for my ground-game and im thinking of getting the scabbard for it to attach to my pack. I LOVE those triggersticks.

[@Deensalad]

Great one Jordan!!

[@BitterSweetAMX]

Enjoyed the video!

[@gregw3432]

Great job Jordan! Your tone and cadence are so much like Cal, it's almost like you are related.

[@mihaigrigoras7956]

Wonderful. And yet, despite the axis deer being this abundant on Lanai and them being more of a pest that needs to be mowed down than a species that needs conservation and constant management (culling predators, supplementary feed etc), they are charging 5 k for a one buck / one doe 2-day trophy hunt (all other costs excluded). I guess my dream will have to wait a bit :))

[@Nosleep8558]

The Hawaiian outdoorsfolk don’t play around! I would have never known of this subculture without meateater.

[@AlexV-u1y]

Glad to see you've brought a female on to the Chanel! 👍

[@TheLaw365]

She is a true hunter. I knew after Steve went on a hunt with her as a guide and she said, "We sell the experience, not the animal" he would offer her a MeatEater position. So what would the additional ingredient be for a Texas Axis? (You couldn't do pineapple)

[@TheLaw365]

@@BG-bx4ey referring more to they're are not known for it like Hawaii.

[@robertheffington6420]

Great job. Awesome video.

[@bumpoclock]

Bring back the Gear Talk podcast! Jordan has so much good knowledge about gear

[@bubbaleon]

Man, that is some clean skinning work. It’s great to see someone take their time rather than the 10 minute hack jobs.

[@wouldntyoulike2know883]

Glad she’s becoming a regular.

[@tjfishing2714]

Great content 👌

[@Dan964917]

Jordan is cold blooded. I don't know many hunters with that ability to just flop down and crack off that good of a shot at what 270ish yards?

[@zacharybartholomew1119]

Jordan!! 🙌🏼🇺🇸💪🏼

[@fishduckdog]

Awesome adventure Jordan! Thanks for sharing! What does something like that cost 💲 for your average Joe?

[@Just_Samson]

Last year on Lana’i it was a total zoo. Once this video gets out, it will look like NYC. God help the locals of Lana’i 🙏🏼

[@janosczovek8524]

What cal did you use? Thanks lovely video really appreciate it 😊

[@timclements2473]

which is greater the recoil from the rifle or the impact of the rifle being handled? A great scope should take a lot of recoil.

[@buccuducks]

Congrats on a great hunt! What rifle did you use? It is a piece of art!

[@thevoyageur2152]

Great Hunt, Jordan's a nice addition to the crew. What is her rifle? Is it one of those new Weatherby modular rifles?

[@megtim]

I believe it’s a Sig Sauer cross Magnum

[@victor.randolph]

Love this hunt! Hope to do it soon! What rifle is that?

[@Eric-dr5bj]

Not much drama or suspense but good overall. The skinning was impressive.

[@jayperreira2778]

Glad she took a doe. We see so many talk about how invasive the deer are and then they only take the big bucks. 👍

[@jasonspeakman15061]

Question do they not have hogs as a predator? I know it wouldn't make a huge impact but trying to think of a way to manage the crazy numbers.

[@clayrichardson1839]

No pigs on lanai.

[@chiliheadajfc]

Sig rifle and Sig scope? Is the Meateater/Vortex contract over?

[@kenstygles6854]

Hay Jordan,, you need to tell Steve that you want to go with him to a big adventure Alaskan hunt

[@nhaupt21]

Jordan, while clearly a good hunter, is the antithesis of a charismatic host.

[@D_Boone]

Yeah, but I kind of live the understated personality on camera. It's a nice alternative to the sometimes...eccentric... hosts of other shows.

[@nicholaseedy3244]

Can we get the skinner on again lol?

[@schroth8736]

What gun is that?

[@rickthewelder]

Puts the commercial Hannah Barron to shame !

[@tylermacek4027]

That rifle is sweet

[@cdavis0145]

@meateater can we get a build list for her rifle?

[@Stoiccc1]

What rifle is that? Make and Caliber please?

[@chango2454]

What’s kind of rifle is she using??

[@firedustman]

nice rifle madame ! 😎

[@buch434]

Holy cow that butcher!

[@Pnw-outdoor]

Her rifle a custom sig cross?!

[@ModernCowboy78]

Im surprised they let the guide wear Kuiu gear, they usually put everyone in first lite gear.

[@jdub125]

Jordan is basically a female Cal. This is meant as a compliment. Very similar style and storytelling.

[@richiedd4119]

should have taken that second doe...but i bet its a tag system...

[@VolcanoNacho]

I like how you had the guide gut the deer for you in the field and didn't give him credit.

[@BooneOutdoors208]

A lot of work needs to be done, to improve public access to this resource especially on Maui.

[@mostknownunknown440]

Awesome video just not the same as a video with Steve talking

[@Jay22222]

Dude what on earth is going on with trucks. 2:21. Even if he’s abnormally short, that is absurd. Tonka does make toddlers look that small! What are we doing!

[@Extort713]

.308 or 6.5?

[@jaredknapp8886]

Nice rifle.

[@danielb.ransberger8872]

Can you tell us about your gun?

[@hanaleikama5899]

🤙🏾🌋🤙🏾

[@Eric-bh7jy]

I would love to do this hunt, but can’t afford to pay an outfitter. Sucks they have an invasive species and they monopolize the hunting to a few guides since there is little public land.

[@bluesteel8376]

Ya, they complain there is too many deer but then limit access so that there will always be too many deer.

[@kirtthomason4620]

they've [Meateater] turned hunting into fly-fishing and golf - if you have to ask, ya'll aint got the dollars. Fckin shame

[@davidmullin9687]

What is the rifle she used?

[@hagerwoman3521]

Looks like the sig cross

[@r-sup4870]

I so much prefer how Meat Eater focuses on the spot and stalk way of hunting.. Watching hunting from a blind or stand on a feeder just does not appeal to me. Just my opinion and i know alot will disagree

[@bryanincommiefornia5629]

I think it depends on what your goal is with hunting. My wife would be perfectly fine sitting in a blind or stand over bait, because she just wants to be able to put venison into the freezer. I'm more in it for the experience, getting out in nature and putting some miles on my boots. Luckily for me, in Cali we can't bait, so she's stuck doing it more my way. Unfortunately we have thus far been unable to bag a deer, but getting out there has been a victory for me. And spot-and-stalk is definitely more fun to watch.

[@808kahulaa]

Must be private property, no orange

[@BowBurt]

You need a sling on that rifle! Cool cross tho.

[@JeremyElkjer]

King Kamehameha died in 1819

[@mountainspider342]

There were more then one King Kamehameha bro! I live , hunt and am born and raised in Hawaii and hunt these islands all the time. April 4 this year heading there for rifle season.

[@Jo-xk3pk]

Sounds like lamb

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Why the hell do hunting videos these days show the climax at the beginning of the video!!!! Stooop doing that lol!!!
