Just wanna give everyone a heads up that meateater season 5-6 is on Netflix.
IMO this is the best show on tv. Having that hunting show available to the general public is awesome for hunting PR. I could be wrong but is this the first hunting show on Netflix?? If so it's well deserved!
Steve is a damn good spokesperson for hunting in general. He's well spoken and well read with cohesive points.
Ive read his book and his hunting journey seems like one a lot of people could relate to. He admits that he makes mistakes and that shows in the show as well. One of the best episodes is where he doesn't shoot a damn thing but there was a lot of reflective time and it was very poignant.
check out his reply to a vegan that tried to ambush him at a book signing speaking engagement.

im getting Netflix shortly so this is pretty cool news because his show was only available on OLN briefly.
Very good program ! One of the few I really like.
I know how I'm spending this rainy day. He is great I read his book and am enjoying his show too
Hey Bow, thanks for pointing this out. I just went and found it and added it to my list. Looks promising.
Amazingly good show, kudos to Netflix for airing it. Already sent them an email stating how happy I am that they're airing the show and requested that they include other good quality hunting and fishing shows in their lineup.
Cool. My next binge watching show lol....will check it out!
Binging right now. Should be hunting...but this is as good as it gets if you cant be in the field!

Just finished watching the first couple episodes. The cinematography is simply amazing, makes me wish i was looking at those panoramics instead of cedar trees when i'm hunting lol
I love how he emphasis that hunting isn't about the kill but the experience and meat.

I only see seasons 5 and 6....are the others available?
Watched most of season 5 last night. Not bad at all. Needs to do more waterfowl though...ha.

Just watched the first couple of episodes. As someone who gave up on hunting shows in general a long time ago, I find it refreshing to watch a show that's not all about product placement and large racks.
Thanks for the heads-up, I'll definitely watch more if this one. Hopefully they'll put the first few seasons on as well.
Best hunting show Imo.

Yes only season 5 and 6 are available.
Its a bummer since these are most of the episodes I bought already. The earlier seasons are also great.
for anyone who doesn't know, the host of the show is an author with several great books and articles, plus has his own podcasts. Steven rinella is in My opinion the best hunting personality out there. I tell folks about him regularly and quote him in conversations with hunter and non hunters alike.
Watched the show last night.
The Alaskan moose hunt was a great show. They showed that sometimes we shoot an animal & we cant find it. It happens!!The best part is on the last day of the hunt when they finally got an adult bull neither hunter cheered or did the high 5. It was a somber moment & they showed the utmost respect to the animal. Another thing that is great is to see them eating the animals that they kill. The hollywood hunters like Lea & Tiffany should watch & learn...
This show is refreshing to watch & hope it stays around for a long time...
he has many episodes with no kill. Some of them are the best episodes. If there's no game taken, they often follow a story or theme to keep it really interesting.Quote:

as I mentioned, this is a show like no other on tv. To me it is the best show out there, hunting or non hunting. I wish it were an hour, and I wish there were way more episodes!
thanks bowj what an awesome show, im binge watching it on the days im not out hunting :)....great ambassador for hunting for sure....
I've seen every episode a few times. I like to watch relevant episodes before the season opens (ie whitetail hunts before whitetail season). I also have four of his books. They are all pretty good too.
its unfortunate that it only has limited episodes on the Canadian side. i am not sure Netflix US has all of them
he guys, i just heard that netflix is trying it out, to see how it is received. if you watch it give it a high rating, and we might see the remaining episodes.
I started (binge) watching it. It is an awesome show. By far the best hunting show around. Producers etc. of other hunting shows should watch and learn.
Some of the things I find to be refreshing are:
he doesn't pretend to be the expert on everything. He tries out some hunts for the first time and fails, just like all of us regular guys.
a lot of his hunts are not successful and seem very challenging, just like all of us regular guys.
no high fives after the kill
good cooking tips
no annoying product discussions/sales tactics
Hey guys, from what I've read Netflix went to meateater to add the show. If its well received they will add more seasons, they've said on social media to leave a review to help get more reasons added to netflix
I have to admit this guys shows are good, he is the real deal. A lot has been said over the years that canadian hunting shows are better than american which is BS as they are all paid advertising.
First his hunts are his hunts, he is a regular guy doing it like a normal hunter not backed by endless sponsor $ And not on some guided trip where someones baited his bear all summer so he can say come to Rocks bear camp to get a free hunt.
I like he cleans and prepares his game in the field and stays in his own tent not some 5 star lodge that cost 2k a day to be at.
What i dont understand though is how he gets to where he hunts without a promo for dodge ram ram boxes and that he might actually walk or paddle to his hinting location without a yamaha UTV...
I even bet if a non hunter watched his shows they would respect it because he is hunting for the meat and the experience not for antlers which you can enter in a hunting shows paid storybook at a chance to be king of the bramblebushes.
Just want to reiterate what brown said. If you're a fan of meateater, and want more make sure you leave a review. Even Steve says that it may lead to more seasons/episodes being put up:

ive been watching his shows for a while... I found it interesting how he eats the hearts out of everything. Do many of you guys do this? I am thinking of trying it with a deer that I will hopefully get this fall. Not sure what to expect, usually we leave the heart with the gut pile for the critters. My wife thinks i'm crazy for wanting to eat deer heart lol.
It's quite tough but mild. Much better than liver IMO.
Ladies and Gents, if you like meateater with Steve Rinella, run a google search on him you will find a podcast you can download and The Wild Within TV show. I think it was Steve's first outdoor show. Unfortunately it only ran for 1 season. I've been watching his shows and reading his books, since 2011. This guy loves to do it old school and truly enjoys "roughin it".
It was an awesome show I just wish they would put the other 4 seasons on lol
My wife would string me up if I shot a deer and didn't bring the heart home. Stuffed with onions and garlic and in the slow cooker with beer, wine or broth, even all three lol. Never tough IMO. I always tell anyone that if they don't want it I'll be more than happy to take it.Quote:

Just cooked moose heart this week and had a woodcock heart yesterday.
Heart is all muscle. Very clean and quite tasty.
The liver from our calf moose was enjoyed by other members of our gang.
I did keep one kidney and I wish I had kept the other one as well. Very tasty grilled on BBQ.
The tongue is also very yummy. There is a moose nose soup video on Youtube...
As for the show, I will have to watch it tonight and it does sound pretty awesome. Thanks for the info!
Its a great show!
I really enjoy the episodes where he's introduced new hunters to the sport.
I hope they put more seasons on netflix.

Thanks BowJ. This show is fantastic. So refreshing to see a real hunting show. Even my kids were hooked. And Netflix is a great format to watch it on. The main outdoor stations are 5 minutes of hunting and 25 minutes of product commercials for every half hour of programming!
Heart is by far the best part of any animal, I keep them all. In my family we fight over who gets it.Quote:

Really like this Meat Eater show. His approach takes it way beyond a hunting show and makes it more like BBC Wildlife Programming.
He's humble and courteous, affable and engaging. Completely different from any other hunting show.
Found a couple apps on my streaming box that carry the full series.
Seeing enough shows now to know that he boils WAY too much of his meals.
Bleh!
Lol
he often is cooking out of a backpack. only so many ways to cook stuff up when you only have whats in your pack. he also does gourmet cooking episodes, usually one or two per season. im far from a chef, but he cooks way more fancy than me in most episodes and consumes a lot more of the animal than most folks.Quote:

True... but salt and dried herbs don't take much to carry. LolQuote:

The SPMC app... Exodus has it in its show list.Quote:

Mine runs kodi.. not sure if thats the same or not. Not really sure how it works actually haha but ive found some episodes, downloaded seasons 1-4 completely and watch it through my android box off my external harddrive. May just download newer ones on itunes and use the chromecast i hate illegally downloading stuff i really want to help promote but im not about to get cable or satellite anymore, too much kife between the little bits of good stuff. So glad 5 and 6 are on netflix though looking forward to newer ones on it eventually
oh for sure, any meat boiled is not good, but i guess it works for sustenance and prevents him from getting trichinosis (again).Quote:

All android boxes and most streaming boxes run KODI. Kodi is simply a streaming video player software. Referencing KODI has replaced xbmc. The apps you load onto your boxes are most simply put, tv guides which allow you to find the stuff you want to watch.Quote:

Boiled tongue and allowed to cool in a fridge,thinly sliced adding salt & pepper on a sandwich with a favorite mustard is amazing. This was my sandwich meat growing up as a child along with smoked horsemeat.I'm as healthy as a horse. lolQuote:

The guy is really good at debating and I've watched him take a bite out of a few good veggies.
I also enjoyed the show a lot, and like he sharing his thoughts on hunting, outdoors and life in general, bringing some real depth comparing to most other hunting shows.
Id encourage anyone who likes MeatEater to pick up any of Steven's books. I've read a couple and so far they're a joy to read.
I have watched the show but just went back to leave a review, hopefully we will get more episodes on Netflix.
Steve is super intelligent and very well spoken. He also hosts a podcast called meat eater & has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience 3 or maybe 4 times. They are all great to listen to, and I highly recommend them. Heck, my wife even digs listening to them.
Recent "convert" to the Meateater podcasts here... approaching it with almost a religious fervor. I've set it up to listen to his shows in the car on my daily commute, man that show is entertaining! It's almost like driving to work each day with three super experienced yet down-to-earth hunters chatting it up in your back seat. Never gets boring since the guests constantly change and the fact that FCC rules don't apply means that the conversation is occasionally peppered with expletives, you know... like in real life. Highly recommended podcast, heck... I wasn't even set up for podcasts until a hunting buddy suggested it to me.Quote:

I just caught the two seasons available on Netflix. This is an awesome show. I have no idea when they will make previous seasons available - maybe never - but I hope soon. Or I could just take matters into my own hands and go seek the sea dogs who say "Arrrr!" a lot.
After reading this thread I checked it out last night. Only had time for season 5 ep.1.
I almost never watch Wild because I can't stand most of it. This show is great.
I also just started to watch this on Netflix because of this threat. Great show! Thanks for letting me know it was out there. Have to check out the podcast next.
For those of you with an Android box you can view the first 4 seasons through the Exodus plugin within the Kodi app. I just picked up one of his books too, can't wait to get into it.
I searched for the is show on KODI and couldn't find it... :(Quote:

Thanks everyone who recommended this show.
This is real.
An entire show were it rains like H#LL, no animals shot but the guys still manage to laugh and have a good time.
Very informative show on gutting and butchering.
A great show on recipes that real people with common ingredients can use.
Wow.
Best hunting show ever.
Wife got me his small game guidebook for my birthday I love it, the only coffee table book I have! My brother got me a first lite toque like he wears, you'd think they know I'm a fan of his haha, shows, books, podcasts, he's. Taught me a lot along with his guests

FYI... Was on Netflix last night and noticed there are some additional episodes of meat eater added to, I think, season 6. (New to me anyways)
I watched the new episode today on Netflix, where he goes squirrel and rabbit hunting in Kentucky. Awesome! Been a while since a watched a hunting show on small game hunting.
Just thought I'd mention, I'm watching season 7 on Netflix.
