Steven Rinella & Janis Putelis Join Mark Kenyon to Hunt Squirrels | S1E03 | Back 40

- Опубліковано 3 лис 2019
- After spending August working his ass off on the Back 40, Mark Kenyon is ready to get the heck off of the property and let it rest. Michigan is one of the most heavily hunted states in the country for whitetails, which gives our crew the opportunity to be one of the few small properties that doesn’t spook every mature buck into the next county. As it turns out, Steven Rinella and Janis Putelis have a different idea. It's the opening day of squirrel season, and the boys are ready to get after ol' bushy, even if they have to tromp through Mark's sanctuary to do it.
#fueledbynature #MeatEater
Here's a look at the upcoming Back 40 episodes through the end of the year:
Ep. 4 on 11/11: Mark hunts deer on the property for the first time.
Ep. 5 on 11/25: Doug Duren joins Mark to check on the property's progress and hunt the late October pre-rut.
Ep. 6 on 12/9: It's the peak rut and Ben O'Brien is back to see if any of the early season work will pay dividends.
Ep. 7 on 12/16: Mark is joined by his dad for a very special hunt.

Laughed my ass off when Steve with a straight face tells him about the deer/squirrel study and squirrel pressure triggers their "hyper thalamus" and causes their racks to explode in size. LOL
The look on Steve and Janis’ faces when he said he’s spraying a cover scent on the camera...priceless haha
Rusty Shackleford gold. i watched that part 5 times.
And like the can am isn’t going to leave a scent? Come on now...
@@TrumanOutdoors Nope - Can Am's are magical machines that run on angel tears and have griffon skin wrapped tires - they don't even leave tread marks in the mud. =-)
Yeah I loved Janis just laughing his ass off about it.
Normally rubber boots .. same boots he dripped “angel tears “ on while filling the can am
Mark is me when I'm trying to have fun but also keep the party under control that my room mate is throwing.
The wait between these episodes is killing me man.
Mark: I dunno guys, I'm really weary of human presence before deer season.
Jake Brake: BRRRRRRRRRR!!!
My new favorite series! Hopefully Yall do Das Boat season 2 with northern states.
For sure! I loved that series so much I’m on the hunt for an old boat to take my kids out in just like I did when I was their age. The best.
Haha no, keep it south. Everything they do is up north or out west. It’s cool being represented for once. Lol. I doubt they’ll ever film anything in Arkansas where I’m at, but at least it’s still in the south.
@@travisfrey5694 but the river fishing is so killer up there, steelhead salmon sturgeon the list goes on
bford98541 yeah my wife and I are planning a trip to Chicago for salmon next year.
@@travisfrey5694 No I want to see some classic Minnesota walleye fishing and a fry up. I don't recall them ever coming to MN.
Squirrel hunting with a .22 before deer season is a great tune up for hunting deer.
My favorite part of any hunt is time with friends and family and the memories created.
My favorite part is snuggling up with my buddies around the fire.
@@kennethpowers241 gay af
@@dprfail nah, the gay part is when we power plunge each other like bucks in rut at night.
@@kennethpowers241 zzzzzz what a boring comment
@@dprfail you're a boring comment. I can see why you are afraid of a snuggle.
Just pretend your deer huntin, you'll see enough squirrels to fill a bucket!
This right here. Also Janis with the rimfire bolt gun. Less noise.
I love ya Mark, but I laughed so hard at Janis's reaction to your trail camera cover scent thing.
you can feel Marks anxiety thru the screen!
I’d be the same way. Hunting with Steve and Janis with a camera on you.
My family and I call pine squirrels "golden squirrels" bc they're rare to see and they're one of a kind. They love the bird feeder and they do crazy acrobatics back into the trees when they get spooked. Very entertaining. Its better than watching TV!
Me and my grandad have started hunting small game because of Steve rinella thank you Steve!!!😁😁😁

Hang in the Mark and keep up the good work! Always learn and be open to new ideas BUT don't lose who you are. Stay passionate.
This is my favorite episode of back 40...squirrel hunting is so much fun
When I first went hunting around 16 I was amazed that me and my buddy could walk in the woods turkey hunting or deer hunting and see squirrels all the time but the time we went out there to hunt squirrels the forest was so quiet at a young age I knew that’s just crazy how do they know I’m coming for them
Poor Mark. He's just trying to maintain a nice deer property and all Steve n Janis wanna do is.... squirrel hunt
Anton Schneider pretty obvious how much he didn’t want to lol
Deer hunting is more rewarding but squirrel hunting is more fun anyway
Looks like he’s going to have a panic attack trying to get them to stay on that side of the swamp. Poor guy haha
Yup. its how I feel when my friends ask to go fishing.... hahaha
I'm with mark on this one. I've hunt in a place that has alot of pressure. I go through all the same routines and more to give myself the best opportunity for success. I know exactly how he feels. It's like when my kid says he has too pee when we are in the middle of the property...noooooo!!
Watching Janis slowly realizing what mark was doing and starting to laugh had me cracking up so hard.
Love this you all are trying so hard . Up there in MI. Lmao. Butt it's so cool because everyone has forgotten there roots it seems these days. We all grow up on squirrel hunting I can remember my first still 30 years later.. .plus there nothing better that squirrel gravy baby. . Thanks ya all. Cant what for next episode.
Sorry guys; this title didn’t entice me much but knowing Steve’s affinity for squirrels, I waited to view it. After watching ~5 minutes I realized I woulda been fine waitin’ longer or not watching it at all.Thx, & look fwd to what you post next.
I’m definitely enjoying every episode of this series. It directly relates to what I have going on in my own place.
Das Boats and Back 40 episodes are like much-needed fuel...can't get it soon enough! Thank you all at Meat Eater!!
This is awesome. I've been a mid-michigan deer hunter my entire life.
Thanks Fellers. Keep up the good work.
I get so excited when I see a new episode pop up!!!
I think its pretty awesome that you guys threw in a little birding this episode. I love about as much as I do hunting and fishing.
I'm just like Mark! I would lose my marbles. That's why I squirrel hunt after whitetail season is completely over and it also gives me a great opportunity to scout my property and see how deer have used it throughout the fall and winter.
Good video guys! Glad you got a couple of squirrels to de-stress!
Awesome! Glad the boys had success. Would like to see more of how Mark is working the property, what he is planting, planning...
Thanks for the show!! I miss squirrel huntin'!
4:28 Gotta add Northern Flicker to the list. Pretty classic call going in that segment in the background. Awesome that you are running the bird list!
Thats cool that you incorporated what you learned from that lady in ak. About grouse hunting into your squirrel hunt
Love this, but more pumped for Das Boat Season 2!!!!
Man I can’t to see how this land turned out! Love your show! You are one of the reasons I started Texas Jungle!!! I am a meat eater!!!
Up here in BC Canada it's the Grey Squirrel that is destroying the range of the pine squirrel. Pine Squirrels are actually protected by law against hunting (but not trapping) but the Grey Squirrel that was introduced and considered invasive is hunt-able 365 days a year and no license required.
They sure are tasty.
You guys are awsome. And the reason why I started hunting. So inspired by you guys. #MEATEATER.
Quality fellas. Always excited for new meateater content. Keep up the good work!
I don’t care what anyone thinks or says, I use to love easing through the woods with a little 410 piping bushy tails. I learned to do it at a very young age, and learned to excel at it, just easing through the woods, napping when you felt like it. And now taking my kids and just watching them and teaching them, taking them to a small area and telling them not to cross certain areas and just letting them go a little while keeping a distance and watching them learn is something magical. And I’m dying to try Steve’s buffalo hot legs recipe.
Mark looks like he can’t wait for the squirrel hunt to end
One of my favorite hunting stories was hunting squirrels in MO. Scared me just shy of pissing myself 😂. Love making squirrel stew 👌🏼
War Eagle!!! Surprised when Auburn was mentioned. That is where I received my meat science degree.
I had no idea this series existed. I have never hunted and I'm totally out of the loop.
Thanks for the continued inspiration, Steven!
Check out meateater then if you havnt already, its steves show on hunting and cooking his catch. Got me so hyped about hunting, im definitely going to start doing it myself

Getchya ass out there bo
Very cool, greetings from Indonesia my brother
I've always enjoyed squirrel hunting, low budget low stress hunting
Can't wait for the deer hunting episode!
Great series, keep it up
The concept of this show is solid. Steve and Steve's friends are great. Mark, well "when you have nothing good to say".
..."You talk shit on the internet".
Mark has no grit and isn't interesting, especially compared Steve.
This series is awesome dam rinella don't be stress ya boy out like that
Janis’ response to Mark spraying the trail camera after checking it.... priceless!
This was fun to watch!
Great show!
This is a great show, one of few.
There are several good aspects to it, it has real world awareness Intelligence.
It appeals to my senses.
We live In Lower Michigan and The Back 40 is Mid Michigan... The Deer on The 40 Deal with People every Day,,, Walk through and get things done
Oh yeah! AWESOME
Small game hunting is still my favorite
Great video & piece of property, just be patient.
Can't wait to see what deer names Mark has in store for us. Full dossiers on Field Goal, Bruiser, Rocket and Thicc Boi including a 400 slide Powerpoint presentation. :D
This is precious!
glad to see you using ebird. knowing all the birds makes sitting in stands and blinds a lot more entertaining
I added that marinade Steave made for the dove, but used it for squirrel and grilled it and man it was good
LOL My old man told me the same thing about pine squirrels!! We believed it.
I'm glad he's taking such good care of my future property.. lol I'd be just as OCD as he is especially if I knew I literally had to entice deer to come to the area.good job
Love them squirrel's!!!
I’ve been waiting for this to get posted 😍
I was taught that same thing about pine squirrels biting off nuts! I always thought it was insane that my dad told me that.
I was just wondering when we'd get another one of these!
In wisconsin there is no limit and no strict season on pine/red squirrels. I always go after them. Good meat and a pretty fur.
Nice work gents.
All I do is hunt squirrels. Abundant and good eating. Just gotta keep rotating properties to let em fill back in. This year has been slim pickings all around sadly. Wonder whats going on.
Janis is my dude... laughing like me out there at that cover scent
I am altalynn1984@gmail.com
Loved it. I don’t know why but I always like squirrel hunting episodes the most. Maybe it’s because I’m so bad at it. The only times I ever get squirrels are when I’m deer hunting
about damn time!!!
Pine squirrels give alarm calls sooner than other squirrels and never give up squeaking until you leave, little goblins lol. Still eat them tho and sometimes their ruckus attracts other squirrels
awesome video !
Take them dang fluorescent hats off guys screw game and fish you guys are on your on property ! Concealment is key we hunting squirrel !
Fun episode! Steve must have only grown up around fall squirrel hunting. He brought a .22 to a leaf fight.
Steve, my great grandpa always told my grandpa the same thing about Red Squirrels biting the nuts off Greys! I thought it was a family thing, but since we're all from MN I guess it must just be a regional squirrel hunting thing! Great shows guys!
I actually witnessed it in upstate NY, in the 90's, while deer hunting. I didn't believe it until I saw how aggressive they were to the larger gray squirrels. Crazy
This reminds me of the initiation scene from old school.
Haha that was awesome!
Nice to see you guys improving the deer / animal habitat on the Michigan property. I'm hunting the property on the west side of the road from you guys. Good luck, maybe we will run into each other.
Ops... the bosses are here and his going to do what he likes best hunt... 😇❤️
Wow... comment 6. I love the series. Wish Steve would do more coverage on indigenous groups.
Mark is like the kid who just turned 18 and Steve and Janis are the uncles trying to get him to drink alcohol
Why does every small game video have to be so light hearted and comedic? It’s nice to see people who actually take small game hunting seriously.
The stupid jokes, the goofy music, it all takes away from the hunt.
Nice !!
I love it! Thinking back over the years the best times was just like that squirrel hunt. A group of friends goofing off and if you accidentally kill something it’s a bonus!
Always great to be a fly on the wall with you guys👍 squirrels here in Australia are not popular eating at all😂 but hey great vid and keep erm coming guys 10/10🇦🇺
We don't have squirrels here lol
Yeah I do like watching these foreign hunting shows as well though.
We have the different game to hunt but it's great to see the similarities and differences.
I never knew that fairy diddles and pine squirrels were the same thing until i watched this episode😂😂
Northern Flicker calling at 4:35. Add it to the list
"It's a woodchuck.". Groundhog's look exactly like them. Weird !
💯❤️🇺🇸!!
Just finished hunter safety, check! Got a bow, check! Got a crossbow, check! Built a basement target, check!!! Wife is irritated, check check check!!!!!!!!!
Alway sthought that too. Until I tried some. I can now safely say that Colorado Pine Squirrels (Douglas Fir, Ponderosa Pine) taste just fine.
Good stuff ... I hope whoever wins this section of land invites me out.
The one thing MeatEater is missing is them showing what gun and caliber they are using for the hunt. Please add this to the show!
Rinella has said on podcast that when he meets a guy who asks him what caliber he shoots, he figures he's talking to more of a gun guy more than a hunter. He's seems pretty intentional about considering the context of the hunt that I'd wager they've made the purposeful decision to not highlight the firearm every show.
Andy Thompson Thats disappointing because as a novice hunter i would like to see the setup he has. In my eyes the segment would only be about 30 seconds. Just show what rifle he is using, what optic and in what caliber. I feel like it would open his show up to a wider audience and also have the option of sponsorships
But thats just it- They're hunters first, and seem to see the gun itself as only a tool within the context of the hunt. They may as well discuss their boot and sock strategy every episode if theyre going to highlight the gun. Janis did a short vid where he names off a few calibers, but it might not be what youre looking for. ua-cam.com/video/ZyRngvjEHOg/v-deo.html
Fwiw, rinella has said he prefers his 300wm when it's appropriate for the game. Theyve partnered with weatherby so maybe hes taken a shine to those guns, or maybe thats just good business. He'd probably tell us both as novices to buy a cheaper gun and spend more money on tags if it would get us off UA-cam and into the woods.
@@Doct0rEVille i think steve is using a CZ 527 in 22 lr mark seems to be using a 20 guage or a .410 shotgun, janis has a similar setup to steve
I feel like deer know when they're being hunted and not hunted. I've never seen a problem with a little small game before deer season. Hunt on I say!
Fiiiiiinally!
All squirrels do the castration of their enemies thing it's not just one species. Love the show can't wait for the next one and das boat season 2
Just been waiting for another episode of get toasted BUT this works to
Me too. Best episodes it is is get toasted
You fellas shoulda. Poped those pine squirrels. Clean them out so the geeys can come in and keep there family ..... LOL!
Jo Jo in VT 💕 😊
Here in colorado all have native here is abert an pine squirrel. They taste good, i’d love to hunt foxs and grays in the wild. Fox squirrells were put in the city’s here back in the 1800s so we can’t hunt. Still have shot not shot one.
