I've been watching this hunting series on Netflix lately. I'm normally not a huge fan of American hunting shows, but I quite like this one. The host is a genuine hunter, has some awesome hunting experiences and cooks something from each hunt.
See what you think...

Yup, he sure does cook something from every hunt. Like coyote! UUURRRGGGGHHHH.
Its a great series. Some of the places he goes are very inspiring.
yep, quite a good show.
Medium rare bear is not a good idea tho..... lol
Bloody good show followed him for a few years now

He is pretty cheesy but his hunts often go a bit further off piste than your average American hunting show. Decent watching. Great commitment to using different parts of the animal
Yeah a lot better than most yank crap.
Steves ok :thumbsup:
Good show and the wife even enjoys it :) win win
Look up the one from season 4? In nz where he goes pig hunting. Quite funny. He does some other nz hunts which ate a bit canned but can't expect much better from a tourist. I like him.

I agree. Not normally a fan of the dramatised American stuff but Steve is a total good bugger. Great ethics and is very well spoken in how he presents our way of life to others I think. Boy they do some hard yards on some of their hunts too!
Quite like that he's okay producing an episode where the trigger is not pulled. Makes it seem like the show is based on 'hunting' and the lifestyle, rather than glorifying the trophy. As said above, great to see many parts of the animal being used. His recipe/butchery episodes are a good watch too. Have had a quick look at the recipe books he has released too.
Been watching his vids and reading his blogs for a couple of years........good stuff
Came across this the other day too and ended up being interesting and enjoyable watch for an american show.
Quite entertaining but yeah you get the feeling alot of the "hunts" are animals being fed to attract them to blinds or canned hunts, still a good show and some interesting stuff worth watching
He’s also a lefty which makes him automatically cooler.
Been following Steve Rinella for a few years now, listen to his Podcasts too, couple weeks back he devoted a big segment to talking about the Tahr cull situation here. I like his philosophy on hunting and life in general, seen a video where he sits down with a bunch of hardcore vegans and puts his case across and by the time he had finished speaking they all seemed to have a new found respect for his way of thinking, really intelligent bloke. His buddy Ryan "the bro with the mo" Callaghan is also worth following.
I quite like his 'dry' sense of humour too
I would strongly disagree. Some of the hunts are that because that's the way yanks hunt whitetail and even sika.Quote:

hey don't get me wrong I like the programme but when you see footage of people shooting from blind with a bail of hay outside and deer feeding on it that just isn't my cup of tea, granted the rest is pretty good and yes he has some great values and a great sense of humour all in all the show is pretty well done.Quote:

My point isn't that they aren't baited or lured hunts, it's that in the areas he partakes in these hunts that is the prevalent hunting culture.Quote:

For much of America, hunting a small plot of land from a tree stand with some sort of lure or crop to attract animals is the only easily accessible hunt.
I don't see it as 'canned' hunting at all.

The Podcast is the best followed by Netflix, then YouTube.
He is smarter / brighter / more educated / eloquent and just more outdoor savvy than 99% of all other hunting shows .
Yes he comes at any situation from an American point of view, but tell me you guys dont Antipodean everything you look at .

Steve’s stocks have just soared in my books
Original comment from the Vegan was in response to someone posing with a bull elk

Fantastic response from Steve there. What a slap down.
This thread got me into series 7 and got me all worked up again about Alaska (if I don’t go before I’m too old then that will be considered a major fail). But the episodes that I really really enjoyed were the ones in Guyana (9,10,11). Holy crap you wouldn’t get me walking around with bare feet in that place. But what an experience, man the fishing is awesome, the hand crafted arrows and bows were just beautiful. Really got me thinking about some of the cool places in the world. Would love to go there and experience that kind of river trip with his very cool guiding friends. Steve is lucky to have met them, and wise to have nurtured the relationship. Would be great to see him reciprocate and take the brothers to somewhere cold and full of huge elk!
I'd be interested if anyone has a link to that episode. I'd love to be better at persuading instead of just arguing.Quote:

Well said @Cordite. A recent example on here which started out relatively humorously turned into an embarrassing juvenile slugfest that I wish the admin would delete.
