Meat Eater T.V. Series

[Hi5]

I just watched a bunch of Steven Rinella's "Meat Eater" on Netflix. I haven't seen the entire series of episodes, but I must say I've been very impressed. He shows game being hunted, being processed and even some being cooked and eaten. It's done in a matter of fact manner, too, not the normal, exaggerated, "Reality TV," fare. His commentary is articulate but "down to earth".

In a couple of episodes he spends some time with South American natives, hunting and fishing, and eating what they kill and prepare. That was worth watching.

Of interest to The Big1 (member of this site) he shows a coyote being prepared, cooked, and eaten. In the context of the other episodes I wouldn't consider it a stunt. He was just making a point.

I'd say that "Meat Eater" was a series well worth watching, in stark contrast to the other garbage "Reality" shows being offered.

I've enjoyed that series. Focus more on the before and after. Doesn't focus on the kill shot like most wild TV offering.
Also, aside from one episode where he leaves the label on his savages for his co-workers, I don't think he ever tells you what brand rifle or ammunition he'd paid to use. Although he does sport fair bit of Sitka. Kinda nice to not have to have that jammed down your throat.
I used his meatloaf recipe, damn good

I have been watching Meat Eater for several years and consider it to be the best hunting show on TV. Steven Rinella is the real deal.

His books are a very good read and I regularly listen to his podcasts which I find to be interesting, informative and entertaining!

i think it was the moose hunt where they went in the brush on a wounded moose and when it charged them steve didn't shoot right away... i think he forgot to work the bolt or didn't work it correctly but if i remember he went ass backwards on the charge. i was waiting for the replay to see what happened but they never showed one which led me to believe that he screwed up somehow. other than that his hunts seem real and he shows misses & "unsuccessful" hunts as well as when he gets his animal.
