“I’m glad your my son” words every man wants to hear at least once. ❤️
pretty sure that was meant more as a funny comment. I get what you mean tho
yep
This is the best version of steve ive ever seen. Fantastic episode!!! THIS... is why we all adore meateater!!!
Phenomenal two episodes, along with the Meat Eater series. Steve never fails to entertain. His hunting journey is a story for all. Great job, Steve
After my dad retired, he stopped fishing and hunting. He worked in his wood shop building furniture for his kids and grandkids. I once asked him why he didn't fish anymore. He said he didn't need to anymore. The outdoors surely can regenerate one from the everyday working world.
I taught my youngest everything about the outdoors, fishing, hunting, yakking, etc. After HS he joined the service, got married, and last holiday revealed im gonna be a grampa. (A girl!!!) He said he cant wait to do the same things with her that i had with him growing up. Along side me. I broke instantly!!!😂😂😂😂
You're living the dream brotha. Time is SHORT. Enjoy as much as your physically capable of. 👌👌
One of things I liked about your show. Was the poetry and spirit by which you described this lifestyle, sport and the freedom of spirit, that is really portrayed is in us all.
I look forward to your new trips and stories. It has become a conduit for inspiration for me.
I suffered a tragic event in July of last year. In the line of duty, I was shot 7 times. I suffered nerve damage and the loss of my left eye. My good eye!
Yet I persist, yet I move forward. Your stories and descriptions of what you feel and see. Make me think. Hell ya, I can do that. Thank you.
My favorite episode. Hunted caribou with my father from I was 16 up until last summer before he passed too soon this January. We just to sit and glass for hours and try to explain to each other which peak or patch of snow we were checking put, just like Steve and Papa Janis 😂 Miss him so much already
That's awesome, man. Great memories made. Treasure it.
Watching old episodes of meateater currently on my TV/streaming... this and Jim Shockey uncharted are by far the best and my favorite hunting and outdoors shows!
Agreed and a new favorite of mine is Gritty.
Randy newberg is another good one
Papa Janis is hilarious! What a great start to the videos. Gotta get me a crosshair clock 😂
Papa Janis; "Come to Alaska, get to hunt with your son...". Even I shed a tear on that one! How satisfying, Steve.
He said "I'm glad you're my son" holy fuggin hell. What else could ya possibly wanna witness your dad experience?!?!
The stars must have aligned for Papa Janis.
So calm so relaxed. Well done sir.
Steve & Janis, that line also hit home with me. Tears started flowing and I'm 68, you see I lost my dad when I was 8 years old but not before he put in me the spark to hunt and fish, which I fanned into a bond fire. He never hunted or fished outside of the state of Michigan. I however have hunted and fished in 6 states and 3 providences in Canada, and every time, I've thought how much he would've loved being here with me, experiencing these adventures together. Thanks for another great video.
Me be younger, listening to some of Steve’s wisdom like this helps me reflect on more recent times with my dad and how I should view and enjoy those more while he’s still here. He’s also in Michigan but trying to get him out west
Your discussion of life at the 14 minute mark, and then your reflection at the end of the video, are probably the best discussions in all your videos. I’m in my 60s and every word was right on. Thank you!
Its great to see Janis' joy throughout the trip to be hunting with his father
This episode unexpectedly left me teared up by the end. I cherish the time I spend hunting and fishing with my father. Thank you Steve Rinella and team for producing and sharing these experiences.
Boy this episode ,hits home, miss my dad every day,taking my grown son on our 2nd safari in SA in June..To spend 10 days with my son,no cellphones or wife,life it’s worth every penny and more Thanks for the insight on what’s really important.Harvesting is the bonus and making memories,is the trophy,so it’s a win win!
Alaska is a different world. I was super lucky to visit Sitka, Alaska as a kid because my aunt and uncle lived there. Easy click when I see Steve and his friends hunting in Alaska!
I always watched this episode on Netflix I loved whoever has it on UA-cam
Steve, you are a wizard with words. Its like you captured my internal dialogue so perfectly and explained in in a way I couldn't articulate with so much such detail. Losing your dad and having all the revelations about life and how you/him could have experienced things... Hits home with me. You are absolutely spot on and I cant thank you enough for unlocking understanding in my own mind about my same feelings.
You really do get caught flat footed in moments like these appreciating what you are doing and how much you miss them.
The whole clock conversation - pure comedy! 🤣
I'm not remotely thinking digital...lol
Listening to Steve talk about life and the wonders of it mixed with the breath taking scenery is kinda magical
The clock convo makes me laugh so hard. This may be my favorite episode of Meat Eater. It’s so sweet. Papa is the best.
When Papa Yanis said "oh the cross hair" I knew he knew what Steve was saying, then Steve didn't know what Papa was saying, it was pretty funny.
This is by far my ultimate favor for Meat Eater series. Still missing every time my old man when seeing this episode.
As a son and a father, I found this episode heartwarming and gut wrenching at the same time.
Man what an incredible episode about so much more than just hunting. I moved away from home 16 years ago and havnt hunted with my dad since. We have an incredible relationship it just hasn’t been a priority. I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately… about the years wasted. I’m happy to say we have an elk hunt here in CO planned for this fall and I’m looking forward to it more than anything. Thank you Steve and Janis for this episode.
Steve you gotta make these videos longer! You have so much knowledge and have a way of telling a story. I feel cut off at only 20 minutes. Loyal fan!
The big man above set this one up for the old man of the group.. Although the young bucks didn't manage to harvest a Moose on this trip they will never forget the time spent with the old man.
And that's what counts most! ♥️
It’s not about what you get it’s about WHO your with🙌
Guys! I've been watching your content for about a year now here and on Netflix and I just wanted to tell you how much you have changed and improved the picture and reputation of American hunters I (and most german hunters) had! The way you see nature, the respect for the creature, the fact that you try to use as much of the animal as possible, your understanding of sustainable population control/ management, your will to self-educate, improve and learn from mistakes- all this is just exemplary! I hope many hunters worldwide follow your example as your approach adds just a huge value to wildlife-conservation efforts! With "Waidmannsheil" from Germany, Chris 📯🌿🐗🦌
Definitely A Great Episode. Miss You Dad And Mom. Thanks For All The Memories.
OK, I have to make this comment before I even finish watching this. Around the 518 mark when Steve's trying to explain the clock it was like their own version of who's on first with Abbott and Costello. Had me rolling. I really enjoyed her. Dad said I'm glad you're my son.
Loved the quote pops said at the beginning. Also, i knew exactly what he meant with the crosshair. No one points out a clock and talks about the direct middle of it.
Papa Yanis giving out some of the best life advice I think I've ever heard. Congrats on a beautiful moose!
Man steve , when u go through the deep thoughts on the mountain, bout brings tears , but its my favorite part , well the cooking wild game and camp life then the deep thoughts , its more to me than the hunts and the harvest , thx for the reflection and feelings shared
I miss fishing with my dad! I’m 53 and he passed away in 2020. He absolutely loved being on a lake down here in Florida fishing for large mouth bass. The satisfaction of catching a fish was priceless, especially with the man who taught you how to catch fish in the first place. Semper Fi Pop!
I always come here for hunting and leave with a new perspective on life in general. Top notch episode, the Putelis family is humble as always.
Papa Janis is a G, lure a moose out with his own voice call, solid shots.
I’m always always enthralled with your content you put out. Always a good
Show
Always educational. Always very informative and interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Man what a touching video the father son relationship from the clock to being where your feet are
I am glad that you said what you said at 20:13 i am in the moment slowed by my father who still is hunting after 2 heart attacks i am fortunate that you have given me the forethought and i am thankful for it. while at the same time i am sorry that you did not get the same outcome good luck my friend. My condolences
Steve at the end really hits home my almost killed five years ago not a day goes by that I don’t have a grits and you can hear the regret Steve’s voice
Always making good father/son memories!
Every piece of gear is brand new!!!!
Great hunt, great messaging, and a great video. We come here for the outdoor adventure, and leave with a deeper appreciation for life.
I recently changed careers so I could be closer to my dad as he gets older, going from seeing him 4-5 times a year to 1-2 times a week. Haven’t regretted that decision for one second, hoping to build some more memories of our time together before he’s too old.
This is one of the best episodes ever. Great philosophy on the living life Juxtaposed with the taking of life.
When I watch this so out of order and spontaneous I imagine Papa Janis has passed. I watched this episode years ago and I think of all the precious lives to me that have passed since then. I used this video to think of some moments I had with them. If Papa Janis is still in good health then Eh Men, Brother. keep it up.
2nd favourite episode all time.
You can watch this over and over just for the scenery.
This episode is as good on rewatch as it was the first time around.
Thanks Mr Yannis…..love your simple expletive on growing seasoned to life and it’s fragileness
Great video guys. As a father of young kids this struck a cord. Nice work.
awesome moose papa janis , an its always great to have that hunt with your father to remember , ,my last hunt with my father was great no moose ut we enjoyed thetime in the bush and sharing something we both loved doing , two years later he passed away with the return of cancer , treasure what ever time you have with family , those re the est memories , looking forward to the next part , and as papa Janis said live in the moment , , there is no past or future just the now , God bless everyone , and be thankful for every day we have ,
Amazing episode, like many people I lost my father at a young age and hang on to the memories of our time together, seeing Papa Janis and Janis together was a joy to watch. Can we have a Papa Janis Meateater shirt with 'Manifest your Fulfilment' blazed across the front please?
From Algeria , thank's steve and Janis for sharing with us ..lot off leçons,,
I hope Janis is doing alright. Going to Alaska ten or fifteen times and losing that awe and wonder doesn't seem right. Especially for a hunter and outdoorsman.
I live in upstate NY, and my family used to belong to a hunting and fishing club in the Adirondacks. We'd go up there at least once a year for my whole life until it got snatched back up by the state - almost 30 years. My father, his father, and his father all spent lifetimes going there. It was a stunningly beautiful and peaceful place, and neither they nor I, or my uncles or cousins or sister or anyone I brought up with us, ever lost the awe, even going dozens or hundreds of times. How do you ever lose that awe of nature's majesty?
What a shot you can see all 3 impacts second was back but first was def a heart shot
This made me just appreciate my dad more.
Alaska with your son would be great. In October of 2025 I'm going to New Foundland with mine for Moose and Caribou. Can't wait
Man, I grew up following my dad around the CO mountains chasing elk knowing nothing about hunting. 25 yrs later I got into big game hunting myself but he was old and in bad health so he couldn’t hike anymore. I took him bear hunting with me but he could really only hang out around camp. He passed away in January 2024 and I wish I could go back and go on a proper hunt with him like this. Miss the old man
rofl.. glad you left the banter in about the center of a clock ... good stuff
Love what you do, keep on joying the journeys with friends and family. This one was a good one
I see Steve and jani, I click like
I'm glad you & your friend Steve R. were able to do that for your Pops! I only wish that I could do the same for my old man. Fishing for a halibut would be the same endeavor / accomplishment! Thanks for sharing this one! The Best!
Damn! Papa Janis getting deep. Amazing hunt! You are Blessed!
Beautiful episode, papa Janis has to much wisdom.
Way to go papa !!!! Heck yeah im only 55 but learned to enjoy everyday one at a time
That was an outstanding episode.
Hits home hard! Got choked up!
Great video and fantastic perspective from Janis' Father.
A few good men. Thank you guys
Papa Yanis is fast and deadly behind a bolt! Good lord!
Really enjoyed this video, brought back memories of whitetail hunts with my dad growing up in Maryland.
I ran into Janis at the Tucson, AZ airport this last week. It was so strange seeing him in person, but he was kind and shook my hand even though it was 5am.
Hooray, Pappa Janis!
This is a great old episode but I thought it was new content at first.
Stuff that comes on UA-cam is always old. New stuff goes to the paying platforms.
Papa janis is an amazing man !
We need more Steve. I miss when it was his show.
Papi Janis threw Steve through a loop with that clock segment 😂😂 had me laughing
I found the easiest way to get a bull is being up early and floating down streams that flow into the Yukon. Lot of paddling but it paid off.
So damn excited to see season 7 getting released
Papa Janis shows old guys still rule we can still do our part and then some🙌
Thanks for posting real videos even if you don’t always have a successful hunt in those videos, makes me think that I’m not always doing something wrong.
Sponsor us border patrol, love it
Thank you sir
I wish no one the thought of what Steve says about foresight of father and son. I lost my dad young. And it is hard. Emphasis on that last part.
Thank you.
steve! the crosshair is very simple to imagine come on!
@5:13 By *cross* he is referring to the point where two diameters cross or intersect in a circular clock, i.e. the centre.
Which is exactly what you are saying.
Great episode.
Wow,,what an inspirantional video,,,Great hunt
Great episode
This is so good.
Steve: "Haven't you ever pulled a stocking on a lady?"
Papa Janis: "Something else, not a stocking."
Steve: "A fast one?"
That was gold. :D
I know where there’s a clock that has a crosshair on it. Or where there was one. My local rural king had them.
❤ Great adventures… “that’s something I ought to work on, as I get older!” 😂
I’m not sure I feel the same way about not being able to recreate the passion for something after seeing it many times like Janis said.
I go to the hills just an hour away from my house and every single time I go I’m just set back with how awesome they are and I’ve been going out many times each year for 4 years now. Just so at peace and part of what is happening out there. Maybe he is just the bond of person that get board easy?
Papa janis did a phenomenal job
Life and hunting is about discovering what is just over the ridge. In our youth we are so focused on what's ahead that we forget to see what is under our feet. What is a arms lenght away. What is a shot away. Slow down take it all in because know it or not, every step we take, every smell we smell, every sight we take in in our whole live is stored in the back of our mind. waiting for the moment that deja vu brings it back into our memories. You see if you dont take the time to notice it, it will not be there for you to remember in the future. also I truly believe that when we pass we take all our experiences with us. from the memory of our birth to the memory of our death......
Awesome job. What a wonderful man.
Thanks
I laugh every time i hear, "I'm not thinking remotely digital!" Haha
Good shot papa yanis!!!! What a pro!!!!
Been a Hunter all my life and commercial fisherman most my life and one thing I have always wanted to do is take my dad to Alaska
"I'm not thinking remotely digital!"
Lol
100% with Pops on the clock thing
