As a filmmaker, I can't fully agree on this statement. Stories are always versions of reality and they're not meant to represent reality per se. Not even most documentary films do this. I do understand his perspective on nature but he shouldn't expect fictional or dramatized motion pictures to represent what he loves about nature. That's not the primary job of a film.
SuperPunch76 agreed, film is art. But an artist needs to do their research, get references, and execute their plan fully. If I have a big western painting and the horses tack doesn’t look right, any horse person will see that and immediately get taken out of the painting. It’s not hard to make things right without losing your artistic vision.
Want to see some people freak out. Put a small pile of chocolate covered peanuts on the ground when someone is not looking and say look at this deer crap. Pick a few up and eat them and start analyzing it.

There's a lot of stuff like that happening. Mostly it is to fill either artistic expression or audience expectations.

Heavily paraphrased.

SOME times. very rarely. this guy is a joke. The straightforward truth about responsible wildlife management is that not everyone can hunt and harvest animals. In the Canada we have an growing number of people and not enough wild animals to take care of everybody. On the off chance that all Canadians attempted to supplant their present modern meat consumption with wild game, they would quickly understand the difficulty of their journey. Demand would overcome supply. The vast majority would not have the option to get big game tags due to limits set by biologists. Every day bag limits would need to be cut. Season lengths would need to be decreased. Unless we want to overturn vast portions of land back to the wild, very few people would have the option to hunt for their food. If we want to preserve wild animals for the foreseeable future and feed the entirety of North America, general hunting isn't the answer. Hunting as a sustainable practice is just not scalable.

@@blackkrrsantan8113 In terms of expert information and clear explanation, they are identical. I don't think it's any more expert of an explanation than what Tony gave regarding skateboarding. You are likely just a bigger fan of hunting so feel this was better.
His name is Steven Rinella. To him, hunting isn't just about the pursuit of an animal. Its about who we are and what we are made of. He lives to hunt and hunts to live. He is a meat eater.
The movie that caused tighter restrictions on handling animals and the disclaimer, "No animals were harmed in the making of this film," was Heaven's Gate (1980). So, Steve is more than likely right about the animals in The Deer Hunter ('78) and Jeremiah Johnson ('72) actually being shot.
Right that's what I was thinking. Like yes the year is just on the cusp of animal safety in movies, but it's also right outside it. So it may be like these were some movies that might've "been the straw that broke the camel's back"
how does it feel to be wrong and get 101 upvotes for it? lol... the movie that caused the disclaimer for "no animals were harmed during the making of this film" was 1939 Jesse James wherein they blindfolded a horse and rode it off a cliff resulting in the horse breaking its back and dying. the first time the disclaimer appeared in the credits of a film was The Doberman Gang in 1972.
@@obscuredxbw how does it feel to try to disprove someone using Wikipedia but fail to actually read or understand the article? American Humane started really protesting after Jesse James. They had some jurisdiction on film sets for a time but that was removed in 1966. The tag they gave films that no animals were harmed wasn't mandatory during this period. They were then successfully made a part of film production through a contract with the Screen Actors Guild in 1980 to ensure better treatment of animals on set after the Heavens Gate incident.
He's holding back because he has time constraints and understands his audience's attention span for each subject. He could go on for hours about each of these points and does in his show, podcast, and books.
He does a wonderful job of explaining! Good hunters help the environment and often have a lot of respect and care for nature and the animals they hunt.
Forest Green in many cases such as Africa countries strictly regulate the hunting of non breeding old males of endangered animals to being in money for anti poaching efforts habitat improvement or acquisition etc etc. it helps a lot. I’d say HUNTING for endangered animals helps them while POACHING endangered animals hurts them.
Landon Boomsma hunting only helps so people who would poach can do it legally. There’s still a huge issue that there’s any commodity for it, especially when it’s just for sport and not for food. There’s a lot of systemic problems in Africa surrounding poaching that the hunting doesn’t help with
Charlotte Stone you literally didn’t read a single thing I wrote. Hunting is regulated poaching is illegal meaning you’re breaking some sort of law in hunting that animal. It’s pretty simple if you think about it. Hunting provides more money to wildlife conservation than any other areas not only in Africa but in all of North America and much of Europe.
The LAST thing I personally would have ever excepted to get out of this video was my extreme respect for this man’s passion and knowledge. Hunting and guns may not be my thing but this young man has a respect for nature that should be commended....in my opinion.
"The reason you wouldn't want to put your finger in the trigger guard is that's where the trigger is." If that's too complex for you, keep your booger hook off the bang switch.
Agree, I listen to his podcast and listen to every book he recommends also. He had the author of the revenant on. So I read it. Excellent. He also wrote a book called Ridgeline about the fetterman massacre. Probably my favorite of all of them
I've never been a professional hunter but I hunted for 50+yrs & he said nothing I'd disagree with, in fact I'd say he's displayed sufficient insight&understanding to be believed by anyone listening with or without a background in hunting.
@@icykickflip your beloved monoculture farms growing unnatural plants that cant even self reproduce half the time is doing alot more to destroy habitats than culling some deer populations do.
As someone who has only seen hunters on TV and NRA ads, this gave me a whole new perspective. I was blown away by his obvious appreciation for nature and all the technicalities that go into hunting and tracking.
"Last fire's smoking, this fire's smoking... Clint's making a lot of fires, and this guy's into him." Lmao. Now I'm just imagining Clint Eastwood going across the land just indiscriminately lighting sh*t on fire. Good Ol' Clint's a rabid arsonist! 😂
Steve is the one that made me realize that the people advocating for conservation of animals and the environment the most are actually the hunters. They don't wanna see the wild and the animals that live there disappear. They rely on it more than anyone.
@paperchasin23 You obviously don't know much about wildlife and native species population. We don't live in a Disney movie where every animal can just grow their population to infinity living in harmony. Not to mention, animals in the wild don't die of old age. They die horribly violent deaths. The world isn't all rainbows, preditors eat baby animals alive, the wild can be violent. Hunters are the quickest most painless way an animal could wish to go.
I hunt a few times I love killing things like deers or pigs because in my country they're pests of course I eat them because I'm not evil but I mainly kill to help the environment
Lmao if someone put a gun to your head you wouldn't be saying this garbage. The earth and nature was fine before humanity came to destroy it and think they need to slaughter to "keep the environment" maybe we need some human population control too... oh wait that's just "immoral" huh?? Hypocrisy is synonymous with humans
Bradley Cooper might be a natural with firearms. When he did The A-Team, the filmmakers were really impressed with how easily he took to the military training and he apparently could cycle through magazines incredibly fast. This was all before he did American Sniper too.
I wonder if he had exposure during his younger years? You can sort of tell who just learned how to handle a firearm for the role and who actually is familiar. Chris Pratt is a hunter and it shows.
According to cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, the scene where the deer was shot by Michael was filmed by giving the trained deer a sedative. It took half an hour for the drug to take effect. They had fenced off an area limiting the deer's range, and two cameras were used.
I'm a hobby photographer, not a hunter, but a lot of the same principles apply for stalking (not that I can do many of them, but I know of them). Funnily enough, I actually have used my horse to photograph foxes. The foxes are so used to the horses in the field, they don't see me standing next to the horse and I managed to get within about 10ft of the fox I was photographing.
@@jonmacgyver743 steve has a podcast with a former navy seal officer, and there are many parallels on how they prepare for days in the back country. Each has an advantage. Are we talking about confronting hostile humans in the wilderness, or simply being lost and knowing how to track animals, and know which plants are ok to eat?
Out of 15+ videos I watched this morning, this guy definitely intrigues me. I'm a huge gun guy, but not an experienced hunter. I would sit and listen to this guy talk about hunting for hours! I couldn't agree more with this guy :)
This was fantastic! Definitely one of the more interesting "Specialist Breaks Down Scenes" - guy has a great way of communicating that keeps it compelling.
Most ppl r like him as far as knowing what to do and how to hunt especially in the rural parts of the country. He is just way more experienced and probably does that for a living. Safe to say I do have a guy like him its my brother and dad.
i love how he explains how you can make elk sounds, thats basically the base technique to do overtone singing, this is why throat singing is the most primal music form xD
He forgot a big part in the Revenant story. He said that it's a story of forgiveness when really Tom Hardy's character actually joined the army I believe and became untouchable. It wasn't that Hugh Glass didn't want to kill him, it's that he couldn't.

That would be a little bit of a misnomer, this guy clearly has respect for nature and animals. Especially you can tell when he talks about the actual animals being killed in the movie.

@@Bobbiii0.2 he has a show on Netflix called meat eater. Also has a podcast. Made maybe four to six appearances on The Joe Rogan podcast. Those episodes are fascinating. This dude has traveled the world hunting and even haunted with tribes in the Amazon. He is also written a handful of books.
@@TheOutdoorDude Awesome! Thank you for the info, I'm about to go on a binge watching session lol
@@Bobbiii0.2 No problem. They also have a youtube channel I think. and He's been working with a whitetail hunter named Mark Kenyan on a project called back 40. ua-cam.com/users/MeatEaterTV
*COUGH* I have a channel about fishing if you're into that sort of thing. lol
“That was harmed during the making of this film”
rip
And I'm sure eaten during the making of that film. Getting hungry just thinking about it!
@@shawnj1966 "ha ha animal abuse for cinematographic purposes is great"
@@ioioioioio6026 If it was treated the same as an animal being actually hunted I don't see an issue with it, if they killed it and then did nothing with it then I'd have a problem.
@@agentjkunz what I mean is they likely wounded it for cinematic effect before killing it
He specializes in changing minds and educating non-hunters, takes many on their first hunt his show is amazing
Regardless of your interest in the topic, this is the best expert breakdown GQ has done to date. So much excellent information and clear explanation.
You didn't watch Tony Hawk lol.
@@ProudFilthyCasual I have watched every one of them. Tony Hawk was great as well but my statement still stands.
@@blackkrrsantan8113 In terms of expert information and clear explanation, they are identical. I don't think it's any more expert of an explanation than what Tony gave regarding skateboarding. You are likely just a bigger fan of hunting so feel this was better.
I liked the ex criminal the best but this was cool.
@@ProudFilthyCasual and you are likely a bigger fan of skateboarding, so you prefer Tony's video...
I didn't even see what the topic was, but saw Steve and had to click.
Definitely
Of course
Same
Same
Same hahaha
Powerful Steve Rinella
Wow, this guy really knows what he's talking about. You can tell he learned all of this through experience and not just studying.
Is GQ just goin around to people Joe Rogan knows 😆
ez views.
To be fair, who DOESN'T Joe Rogan know?
Seems like a good idea to me.
To be fair this guy has a show higher the jre
He’s got a Netflix show
His name is Steven Rinella. To him, hunting isn't just about the pursuit of an animal. Its about who we are and what we are made of. He lives to hunt and hunts to live. He is a meat eater.
lmao
@@BayAreaLIVIN So is my dog. Not impressive.
I don't think bigart got the joke. Lol.
the hairs on my neck stood up
Best show on TV
Steve is the voice of modern hunters.
Ryan Adamczak amen brother
Absolutely
This was one of the best expert breakdowns, I love how this guy talks - fast, to the point, no nonsense and with knowledge.
Smell us now lady!
I'd buy that shirt
And only MeatEater fans understand. 🙂
@@mikehoyme thanks broski
Ah yes, a man of culture. Lol
When he was talking about wind, I kept waiting for this hahahaha
The movie that caused tighter restrictions on handling animals and the disclaimer, "No animals were harmed in the making of this film," was Heaven's Gate (1980). So, Steve is more than likely right about the animals in The Deer Hunter ('78) and Jeremiah Johnson ('72) actually being shot.
Right that's what I was thinking. Like yes the year is just on the cusp of animal safety in movies, but it's also right outside it. So it may be like these were some movies that might've "been the straw that broke the camel's back"
Actually the deer in deer hunter was not shot. It was sedated and then filmed till it collapsed to recreate the shooting
You can tell the elk was for sure. The way its spine locked up is definitely a gunshot wound reaction.
how does it feel to be wrong and get 101 upvotes for it? lol...
the movie that caused the disclaimer for "no animals were harmed during the making of this film" was 1939 Jesse James wherein they blindfolded a horse and rode it off a cliff resulting in the horse breaking its back and dying.
the first time the disclaimer appeared in the credits of a film was The Doberman Gang in 1972.
@@obscuredxbw how does it feel to try to disprove someone using Wikipedia but fail to actually read or understand the article?
American Humane started really protesting after Jesse James. They had some jurisdiction on film sets for a time but that was removed in 1966. The tag they gave films that no animals were harmed wasn't mandatory during this period. They were then successfully made a part of film production through a contract with the Screen Actors Guild in 1980 to ensure better treatment of animals on set after the Heavens Gate incident.
The perfect guy to tear these things apart. Steve lives for this stuff.
I love listening to Rinella talk about hunting. You can tell he truly lives for it. He reminds me of my papaw who was a hunter through and through.
I am so fascinated by the amount of kmowledge this guy has... its crazy
Imagine getting hunted by him
@@TTVTRIXIEMATTEL wouldnt last an hour
He has a podcast called meat eater, as well as a TV show by the same name
N O S E the greatest game haha
He's holding back because he has time constraints and understands his audience's attention span for each subject. He could go on for hours about each of these points and does in his show, podcast, and books.
"Who are you to wish nature behaved differently that it does...?" I give you Sharknado!

This comment literally made me choke on my drink. 🤣🤣🤣
J Wilson Handmade Knives megashark vs Giant Octopus is another classic
He does a wonderful job of explaining! Good hunters help the environment and often have a lot of respect and care for nature and the animals they hunt.
So long as endangered animals aren't hunted I mostly agree 👌🏻
Forest Green in many cases such as Africa countries strictly regulate the hunting of non breeding old males of endangered animals to being in money for anti poaching efforts habitat improvement or acquisition etc etc. it helps a lot. I’d say HUNTING for endangered animals helps them while POACHING endangered animals hurts them.
Landon Boomsma hunting only helps so people who would poach can do it legally. There’s still a huge issue that there’s any commodity for it, especially when it’s just for sport and not for food. There’s a lot of systemic problems in Africa surrounding poaching that the hunting doesn’t help with
Charlotte Stone you literally didn’t read a single thing I wrote. Hunting is regulated poaching is illegal meaning you’re breaking some sort of law in hunting that animal. It’s pretty simple if you think about it. Hunting provides more money to wildlife conservation than any other areas not only in Africa but in all of North America and much of Europe.
Brett Yarborough why is someone not aloud to hunt for there own food?
The LAST thing I personally would have ever excepted to get out of this video was my extreme respect for this man’s passion and knowledge. Hunting and guns may not be my thing but this young man has a respect for nature that should be commended....in my opinion.
just glassin
PowerfulWarbird Try it out
Soo woo!
BIKES!!!
Keeping em high and tight, i see. OH EM GEE.
Y'all coming over for moose soup after?
Hey Hitler
This guy knows what he is talking about. No minced words, straight to the point, confident and factual.
"The reason you wouldn't want to put your finger in the trigger guard is that's where the trigger is."
If that's too complex for you, keep your booger hook off the bang switch.
Said everyone and their mother
Read his book about hunting the American bison. It's truly fantastic
100% agree bought it a few years ago and it's an awesome read
Agree, I listen to his podcast and listen to every book he recommends also. He had the author of the revenant on. So I read it. Excellent. He also wrote a book called Ridgeline about the fetterman massacre. Probably my favorite of all of them
Title??

Steve Rinella is to Outdoorsmanship and Hunting what Anthony Bourdain was to food travel and culture imho.
Coincidentally, ZPZ productions produces both Meat Eater and Parts Unknown.
@@DeeplyDrivenOutdoors Neat, well TIL thank you.
Totally agree. We’re big Bourdain fans and constantly say that Rinella makes us feel about nature the way Tony did about travel.
Great comparison!!
Am I really the only one who find it funny that Rinella was compared to a pedophile who was murdered to cover tracks?
I've never been a professional hunter but I hunted for 50+yrs & he said nothing I'd disagree with, in fact I'd say he's displayed sufficient insight&understanding to be believed by anyone listening with or without a background in hunting.
However you justify slaughtering wildlife is up to you
@@icykickflip your beloved monoculture farms growing unnatural plants that cant even self reproduce half the time is doing alot more to destroy habitats than culling some deer populations do.
@@icykickflipI don’t need to justify it, every predator needs to eat, and we are apex predators
Best opening sentence ever
I used to collect animal *FECAL MATTER*
I said the same 😅
So he is a political historian?
I still collect all of the front paws of every lawn mole I trap. Got em hanging on a string on my wall😂😂
@@jasonsummit1885 I've never seen mole paws🤔 Imma Google this lol
As someone who has only seen hunters on TV and NRA ads, this gave me a whole new perspective. I was blown away by his obvious appreciation for nature and all the technicalities that go into hunting and tracking.
Kingdom Fitness checkout his show on Netflix, “Meat Eater”. I typically don’t like hunting shows but his is really great.
I like how he pronounced movie names more accurately than some of the film critics and reviewers do.
"Last fire's smoking, this fire's smoking... Clint's making a lot of fires, and this guy's into him."
Lmao. Now I'm just imagining Clint Eastwood going across the land just indiscriminately lighting sh*t on fire.
Good Ol' Clint's a rabid arsonist! 😂
Grabbed a laugh off this one
Steve is the one that made me realize that the people advocating for conservation of animals and the environment the most are actually the hunters. They don't wanna see the wild and the animals that live there disappear. They rely on it more than anyone.
hunters also fund a lot of our nations conservation efforts due to the self imposed tax on all firearms and ammunition sales (Pittman Robertson act)
@paperchasin23 You obviously don't know much about wildlife and native species population. We don't live in a Disney movie where every animal can just grow their population to infinity living in harmony. Not to mention, animals in the wild don't die of old age. They die horribly violent deaths. The world isn't all rainbows, preditors eat baby animals alive, the wild can be violent. Hunters are the quickest most painless way an animal could wish to go.
I hunt a few times I love killing things like deers or pigs because in my country they're pests of course I eat them because I'm not evil but I mainly kill to help the environment
Lmao if someone put a gun to your head you wouldn't be saying this garbage. The earth and nature was fine before humanity came to destroy it and think they need to slaughter to "keep the environment" maybe we need some human population control too... oh wait that's just "immoral" huh?? Hypocrisy is synonymous with humans
Half baked idea
Love Stevens enthusiasm, he's so passionate about conservation and the outdoors. Love it
he is the most eloquent guest in this series
Went to college for English or Journalism and has written many books now
He's actually willing to go into detail and tell stories and relay facts, instead of just complaining about the videos he's watching.
The perfect blend of education, experience, intelligence, eloquence, relatability, and the "cool" factor.
Never thought I’d see the day that Cam Haynes and Steve Rinella are in GQ.
J Lancaster same lol
GQ stepping up their game and expanding their demographic.
I know right😂
no kidding lol
"These two fellars".. haha this guy's badass..
Bradley Cooper might be a natural with firearms. When he did The A-Team, the filmmakers were really impressed with how easily he took to the military training and he apparently could cycle through magazines incredibly fast. This was all before he did American Sniper too.
I wonder if he had exposure during his younger years? You can sort of tell who just learned how to handle a firearm for the role and who actually is familiar. Chris Pratt is a hunter and it shows.
I went tracking once. Have mad respect for people who can "read" the signs of wildlife. It is difficult to notice tracks at al, let alone follow them.
Esp when they follow it for hours and maybe miles
It takes years of experience to do it reliably, I've been hunting for 8 years and its still tough for me.
This guy is the best of the Wired Explained. This is the guy who if talks you sit listen and take notes evem if you are not a hunter. I'm amazed...
Could we get Steven Rinella to play the hunter: Call of the Wild?
Is that a video game or are you asking for him to be cast in a film adaptation of a Jack London book? I think he’d be down for the latter.
@@509Gman it’s a video game, but either would be awesome !
It would be cool.
OMG when Jeremiah Johnson popped up I was so happy. One of my favorite movies and I feel like no one in my generation, or later, has even seen it!
Jeremiah Johnson is awesome, I'm 19 years old
It's like the saddest movie in the world. I'm not sure how or why anyone can enjoy it.
It's Les Stroud's favorite movie! :)
(He's Survivorman for reference)
“That deer was harmed in the making of this film” 😂😂
Well... Venison Steaks after filming?
According to cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, the scene where the deer was shot by Michael was filmed by giving the trained deer a sedative. It took half an hour for the drug to take effect. They had fenced off an area limiting the deer's range, and two cameras were used.
Steven Rinella managed to get Bryan Callen to successfully hunt an animal. The man maybe the greatest hunter of all time.
Callen knows s'little about hunting. And that's obvious.
Is there a guy who genuinely loves nature and the education of eating meat and conservation more than Steve? No! Glad to see GQ reach out to him.
I'm a hobby photographer, not a hunter, but a lot of the same principles apply for stalking (not that I can do many of them, but I know of them). Funnily enough, I actually have used my horse to photograph foxes. The foxes are so used to the horses in the field, they don't see me standing next to the horse and I managed to get within about 10ft of the fox I was photographing.
If I’m ever lost in the wilderness, I want this guy with me.
Well then you wouldnt be lost would you? ;)
No disrespect, he would be a great asset but i would rather have an army ranger or an FO. Someone super experienced in land nav
@@jonmacgyver743 steve has a podcast with a former navy seal officer, and there are many parallels on how they prepare for days in the back country. Each has an advantage. Are we talking about confronting hostile humans in the wilderness, or simply being lost and knowing how to track animals, and know which plants are ok to eat?

That doesn’t make sense... if you’re in the wilderness with Steve Rinella, you’re not lost
Watch his show on Netflix. Meat Eater is fire
I see the show relocated to Bozeman, MT, which is my hometown.
Out of 15+ videos I watched this morning, this guy definitely intrigues me. I'm a huge gun guy, but not an experienced hunter. I would sit and listen to this guy talk about hunting for hours! I couldn't agree more with this guy :)
"When your out in the mountains and the bugles too perfect your like thats probably a dude!" 😆
Steve's elk sounds montage should be the new theme song on his show lmao
"My name's Steve Rinella... (*qureeEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) and I am a meat eater"
This was fantastic! Definitely one of the more interesting "Specialist Breaks Down Scenes" - guy has a great way of communicating that keeps it compelling.
He is fantastic at communicating. Just sucks you in.
Rinella Putelis 2020
AJ Dieterle word lol
#latvianeagle
AJ Dieterle not the heroes we deserve, just the ones we need right now
Blaukš!
I completely read Putelis as Steve Rinella's voice in my head...multiple different pronunciations. LOL
When did you last hear someone say ”He’s got an otter hat which I’m jealous of”? I love Steve.
as a vegetarian of almost 2 decades, I love hunters like this. I can only continue to try to be as good a hunter as this.
i'm saying. i've been a vegetarian for 13 years and not only would i hunt with this guy, i'd gladly eat anything we hunted too
if the world ends you need a guy like him to survive
I'd rather say - you need TO BE a guy like him to survive - right?
If the world ends, isn't everything else a moot point? The world's ended.
If the world ends you need this guy in your corner
Most ppl r like him as far as knowing what to do and how to hunt especially in the rural parts of the country. He is just way more experienced and probably does that for a living. Safe to say I do have a guy like him its my brother and dad.
Right on, Country people have a huge advantage over city people in any type of survival situation or just a general emergency
I like how in the end he said "That elk was harmed in the making of this scene 😂"
i love how he explains how you can make elk sounds, thats basically the base technique to do overtone singing, this is why throat singing is the most primal music form xD
This dude is a trip. Great pick for the breakdown. i love them all but this might be my favorite. Those elk calls were the best.
He forgot a big part in the Revenant story. He said that it's a story of forgiveness when really Tom Hardy's character actually joined the army I believe and became untouchable. It wasn't that Hugh Glass didn't want to kill him, it's that he couldn't.
Yep. Because if he did, he would have faced a firing squad or hanging.
Yes but hugh did forgive Jim Bridger due to his young age
@@nathansmith5835 That he did.
@@nathansmith5835 Fun tidbit, not really relevant... my great-great grandfather was Joseph Meek, a contemporary of Jim Bridger. Hearing stories passed down through the family really resonated when I watched the movie. It was a pretty crazy time.
Im a simple man. I see steven rinella i click like.
Best GQ Breakdown ever. Steve cares and genuinely wants to educate and does it in such simple dud way that you can’t help but smile. #meteater #traichef #coyote
The editor probably hates this guy because he has to censor all the cursing. Love this dude.
Serbian Sauvage audio software does that
Steve rarely swears. Ive listened to hundreds of hours of his podcast. He’s too articulate to need to swear to explain himself.
His curses are acceptable at most dinner tables though
Just so you guys know, Steven Renilla has a UA-cam channel.. a pretty successful one at that.MeatEater TV if I'm not mistaken. Interesting stuff and he's always super informative and best of all, has a ton of respect not only towards but for the animals.
Wow, probably the most interesting breakdown to date! He really knows his stuff and I can tell he loves what he does.
" elk don't know how many feet a horse have" ..
That had me laughing.
Powerful Steven Rinella
Michael Carey wow, someone else already commented that joe rogan joke
Not so Powerful gasslighterr
It has something to do with his hands. I’ll butcher the story though.
I love Last of the Mohicans, but EVERYTHING he says here is absolutely right.
Until Valhalla such an epic movie and has one of the best soundtracks ever
Until Valhalla saying Rinella is wrong about the Last of the Mohicans scene doesn’t mean we don’t like him. He’s just wrong and that’s ok
Thomas green I agree. I personally love Steve Rinella and his show, breaks down how to properly stock, kill, and cook. Man deserves more attention when it comes to hunting.
Talk about having a passion. Steve has it in spades 👍
him: talks about rushing water and wind bumping

Stu Dunn he already has that show smh, it was a joke
I like how he mentioned that the real high glass story is even more interesting because it’s a story of forgiveness and resilience. The Revenant is awesome
