[@kyanberusama8847]

@@oralynndevereaux7609 And it's a damn shame. Surely to each their own of course, I'm not here to tell anyone what they should/shouldn't like, but man, there's something about being able to go back to our roots and provide for our families straight from the source, instead of hitting the grocery store to buy processed crap. And I've never hunted a lick in my life. Not even a squirrel. But boy would I like to thanks to Steve and the show.

[@y05077]

I think speaking as someone who lives in Europe and can't realistically hunt here, hunting is a very strange concept. The idea of hunting shouldn't be strange though and getting through that barrier of "This is weird..but it's not weird it's natural" is the main part of it. To my mind going out and hunting is more ethical than grabbing a slab of beef at the supermarket, but it's just stumbling over that initial mental hurdle that's so hard for so many I think.

My whole perception of guns changed after watching how respectfully Steven handles himself. Love this show.

[@kee7678]

I appreciate your honesty. Us hunters have learned that there are MANY, who's perceptions of guns, gun owners and hunters change as they learn the truth about most of us and let go of their original misconceptions. I enjoy exposing people to new thoughts and ideas about all of these things and sharing the newly found joy they get (eventually at some point) when engaging these activities themselves.

[@heatto162]

A gun is just a tool. Intentions of how that tool is used is all upon the handler...no different than a hammer or a car.

[@TheDancerMacabre]

@@heatto162 there are very huge differences. I'm a vet and crappy hunter. I understand the lethality it has and must be treated with a lot more respect then a hammer. Thing is, a lot of the gun nuts treat them as toys. Something you buy accessories for and flaunt around because they want to compensate for something. You have people like Steve here, keeps his gear locked up, transports it properly, and sees it as a tool to hunt. And dumbasses who drink too much and shoot cans to impress their friends

[@jayfedder1578]

I personally learned from this show that it’s way healthier for us and more humane to the animals to hunt and eat like this. Thank you Joe Rogan for introducing me to Steve and these ideas.

[@contollaplayaclugston3085]

i'm really glad that it changed. I love hunting every year, although I don't like blind or treestand hunting. Hunting should be something you work for and have respect for.

[@CCStudioProductions]

Never been a hunter. Never had family that hunts. But after binge watching this show, I truly want to take a trip of my own, harvest my own animal and field dress it myself. The reverence Steve shows for these animals is awe-inspiring and is truly the essence of how our ancestors lived.

[@LaRueOutdoorsAndMore]

Do it man! It’s been in my family for generations it’s a great thing to learn so you can also ‘pass it on’!!

These two guys are the kind of hunters I've wanted to hunt with for years but never seem to meet... so I hunt solo. I love that it's not about trophies it's about food and respect for that food for these guys. Hunting needs more ambassadors like Steve and Cody. When Cody was feeling the feels after the harvest I totally related to that, it's taking a life and there is a responsibility that comes with that. When I saw every part of that animal strapped to his pack I wanted to stand up and cheer.

[@calircpilot4261]

Hi Steven, just wanted to thank you for living and sharing some of us dreams. Actually I can’t thank you enough for sharing your ethical passion to harvest nature’s gifts. I loved your Sonoran Coues Deer hunt (my home state) and all the memories you sparred from when I hunted with my Dad on those blessed high desert rolling hills.

I was born and raised in New Mexico and this was the second animal I hunted. It truly is one of the countries most beautiful and unique animals to hunt.

I loved when Cody kneeled down to his animal and thanked it. In my country when we hunt, when we return with our group, the whole group thanks the mother of the hunt (sort of like Mother Earth) for this great animal and oportunity.

Seeing the guy use the antelope to make his chili is the best part. The fact that you can use one animal and prepare it so many different ways and learn peoples recipes and traditions and experience all those things with them is great. Really beats sliced lunch meat from the grocery store. If people really love animals they should appreciate people that refrain from relying on factory farming for every single meal. This is the way it was for 100,000 of years and its always worked.

[@dillonnagel7596]

Native New Mexican here, Cody is absolutely 100% correct Green Chile is embedded in our DNA from a very young age. We can also tell if you’re from here by how you spell chile. The Hispanic way of spelling chile is as such because of our rich and historical Hispanic culture. Anglo and other spell it chili. We flavor is above all the most important and you can tell when you get a good batch, you can smell it while it’s roasting. The chile vendors are smart they post up outside grocery stores roasting it so you smell it on your way in and on your way out. Every NMer buys a freezer full that way it last until next roasting season. He is also right in the fact that we put it on/in everything. Green chile spaghettini, green chile chicken lasagna, green chile chicken Alfredo, green chile pizza, green chile quiche, green chile sandwiches (any kind could use some green chile)…. It’s literally an everyday thing.
