@@OutsidetheLevees Why was there no mention of the Mississippi river dams and levees that keep the river from flooding? Multiple mentions of "eroding marshland" but no mention of why. The marshes in Louisiana were replenished by silt from the flooding rivers. When we stop those rivers from flooding, we stop the marshes from being replenished. Yet in this episode, it's left for the viewer to assume this is due to rising sea levels from global warming, which it's not. It's one thing to educate people, it's another to mis-educate them.

If you protect the environment, you protect hunting, fishing, and trapping for generations to come.

Couldn’t agree more, to a point. WE as Americans are doing our part, further austerity measures in the name of environmentalism will have much less total effect than curbing the actual polluters in emerging economies in Asia to Africa. In fact, except for specific instances where a specific issue is a problem (such as the river with the mine going in it up north chronicled on the Das Boat episode), if we further restrict our economic output with more regulatory burdens we will likely do more harm than good. Our domestic ONG does so safer and cleaner than nearly everyone else. Production locally also reduces the physical transport of ONG over the open ocean in leaky, hazardous, poorly maintained vessels, which further reduce our total carbon emissions. This doesn’t even begin to cover that ONG or other industries literally pay for many of the roads and infrastructure in the backwoods. Why is Wyoming so desirable to hunt pronghorn? Because of the vast network of ONG lease roads. Why are millions of acres of private land in SE Oklahoma open to the public? Because the lumber industry allows it. Then there’s the absolute fact that these outdoor economic industries like ONG, timber, and mining all somehow pay our salaries or increase our economic. If we used 100% of these three from outside the US they would be more wasteful, more inefficient, weaken our national and local economies, and ultimately cause more pollution. We MUST protect the environment. But we must NOT do so to our own detriment.

I’ve been in Louisiana for the past 19 years. I’ve grown to love the diverse wilderness we have. Coming from the Midwest, it was a shock to see and experience all the challenges here from an outdoors and environmental perspective. Thanks Cal.

I’m so glad Cal got his own show! Another great decision by the MeatEater Team! Keep it up

Great video. I used to fish out there in St. Bernard when I lived there. Its nice to see Louisiana represented differently from the fake over produced BS reality shows with people playing up to the camera and faked "scenarios". Same goes for Cal. Great narration without trying to be a caricature of yourself or show off like some other outdoor shows. Just telling it how it is and listening to locals with your ears open. It translates well on video. I met Cal while walking out of a store with my first lite hat on in New York of all places and he said "Nice hat". Ha. Hopefully some of the new river diversions and canal closures will help rebuild some of the marsh in Louisiana.

Funny how a bunch of fish started jumping out the water right as he was talking about finding new opportunities 17:18

Please keep these shows coming. I absolutely live your shows. Don’t stop

I really like the look of Louisiana. The landscape, People, Food & Architecture, all appeal to me. And I've not even mentioned the Sporting opportunities yet! It's top of my list for when I visit America again (I lived in NJ for 2 years as a child, and visited about 35 states, but we never went to the 'deep south', unfortunately. Seems to me, we missed out some of the best bits).

definitely come back and make sure to come under i-10 for the BEST experience

not only have I wanted to travel to other areas and stay away from all the tourist attractions and all that. I want to experience the culture, the people, their thinking, and their wilderness. I am all about conservation and aiding the landscape too, but this really woke up that part of me into adding that mentality, into EVERYTHING that I do, and everywhere I go. these are the things that I believe are needed to both have a good time and to do good around the land. to leave a good footprint as we travel and learn and experience new things. thank you for solidifying this ideal from this video because I don't think I will ever change out of this mentality. good stuff!

Good to see pure Razorback in Louisiana. As they inbreed with the Eurasian wild boar that were brought over they are getting rarer. As soon as the piglets have stripes they are done being only Razorback. Razorback go back to the days of the explorers.

Well played Cal. You and the the rest of the Meateater squad obviously have a deep appreciation for nature. Keep up the great content my brothas and sistas!

Triple tail fishing crab pots from the poling platform is one of my favorite ways to catch them! Cal, you are a boss!!!

keep this series going! I love to see Cal bring perspective to these various issues and habitats! Thanks guys!

One of my favourite recipes for no waste is the Southern French Bouillabaisse, roasted fish bones, fish offcuts, crustacean shells the whole lot! I like mine with Pernod, tomato paste, fennel, mirepoix, white wine and smoked paprika. You blitz the bones and stock in a food processor, I like using a Thermo mix because it just does the job! Smoking fish frames adds another dimension to a fish stock and is a great base for chowder, fish stew or soups. I like a little dashi stock and mild curry powder in my fish soups especially white or cream-based soups like chowder. The soup and stew bases freeze really well cryovaced.

I love everything meateater but I would watch and listen to cal all day day long, my kind of guy

Cal in the Field is quickly becoming my fav Meat Eater content, keep up the good work y'all!

Nice to see my home finally land on the meateater map

More Cal!!

These Cal episodes are fantastic!!! Keep em coming.

That was an excellent episode; probably my favorite episode of Cal in the Field. I would argue that episode rivals anything that was on MeatEater season 9. I think everything covered in this episode is under covered in all hunting and fishing media. Noboby talks about hunting Gallinules except Cal and T Edward Nickens. I also loved those giant triple tails and road hunting pigs from a boat.

Really digging this series! Thanks for the upload!

Best 2 shows ever Meat Eater and THP!!!

Consider me a fan and new subscriber. As an Outdoorsman myself, I very much appreciate your stewardship to the land as a conservationist as well. You put in perspective the value of sound conservation practices and the effects it has on every Human living .....

This episode is close to home. Thank you for educating folks on how conservation will keep families and land around for several generations if we hunt and fish smart.

Would love to see some meateater coverage of the current striped bass situation along the eastern seaboard. There are some critical decisions being made in the near future that will dictate the health of the fishery for years to come, and the more voices of conservation minded individuals the better.

Love seeing conservation from all over the country!

Thanks, educational and entertaining, I think you touched all the bases with this one. Play through!

Damn it man! These shows are fire. 🔥 I love the straight talk, the inside look at the problems conservationists are dealing with. Great work Cal.

Love the episode, love the podcast even more!

I moved to prime Sambar hunting country in North East Victoria Australia 20 years ago. I wanted to get to Louisiana in 2020, but the world went mad. Hopefully I'll get there in a few years time. BTW, loved the use of that boar. I've shot and eaten old boars from a friend's place at Balranald NSW. Also here, many people think old Sambar Stags are only fit for salami. Wrong! I shot a big old 28 inch stag 4 years ago and ate it all. Great roasts, steaks and cubed or mince for chilli, curry and pasta sauce.

This series is amazing, lovin it

Time to visit the mountains of western Maine! Hunting, fishing, boats or snowmobiling, we have it all. We have so many conservation failures and successes!

I wish sea level was rising in Florida I could use the depth for snook fishing mangrove’s and getting to deeper grouper holes. Around here levels have been the same my entire 30 years of fishing and erosion is a natural process, man made changing of erosion is where problems start.

Love seeing the story of my state being told. Please come again!!!

I fish the south Texas coast inshore and this is by far my bucket list fish!!!! I’ve only seen three and they have yet invaded me!! This just pushes me to catch them even more. So awesome

Mostly the erosion and hurricanes are caused by the Corp of Engineers and their levee building/water diversion. Louisiana's gulf coast handles more than half of all water that hits the country. That water used to be able to spread out and slow down enough to deposit silt in the marshes, and keep saltwater out. The trees that used to grow in that constant flow of fresh silt and water helped buffer against hurricanes. Now we only have a few narrow channels and canals that handle the water and all that silt is diverted away from the marshes and jettisoned straight into the gulf.

Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts and adventures and information

So well done 👌🏻

Being from Louisiana it saddens me to see the marshes disappearing. The levees on the Mississippi has done more damage than they have prevented.

@brianstamper6841

I think it was a real miss that they didn't mention this at all in the episode. The stopping of the flooding of the Mississippi, while great for the riverbank residents and commerce, is the primary reason the marshes are eroding. Rising sea levels and hurricanes have an impact, but it's only a tiny fraction of the root cause. Those floods replenished the marshlands for thousands of square miles around for thousands of years.

Listening to Jared talking about his home and his family was moving. You can see the pain of the prospect of leaving his home on his face

I grew up just north of Venice. It's a shame how much has changed in my lifetime. On a side note, Cal could have experienced some world class offshore fishing. Also, in the right locations, you can catch bass, sac a lait, redfish, flounder and speckled trout from one cast to the next.

Excellent video Cal....enjoyed the hell out of it. It pains me to see our coastal friends in this predicament.

There is a lot of river flooding in Louisiana right now. It would seem it should be depositing soil and rebuilding the wetlands.

@coreytohme9861

The problem is that it doesn't flood the marshes quite like it before the levees were built. Now except for few holes in the levees, all of the water goes straight out the mouth of river. Truthfully, it's still carrying sediment; take a look at historical images on google earth of South Pass which is now silted in and the land being built around Mardi Gras Pass. Also look at the Atchafalaya delta; it is currently producing land. What happens to the silt that's deposited in the mouth of the river? It has to be dredged so that ships can pass. What happens to this dredged silt? 85% of it at one time (I don't know what the numbers are currently) gets dumped into the Gulf of Mexico. Legally it is Louisiana land and the Corps of Engineers have to pay Louisiana for the land that is "thrown away". It seems Louisiana would rather take the cash payout than to use that dirt to rebuild the marsh. Hmmmm. Also, over the years, we have built numerous channels (oilfield exploration, the MRGO, etc) which are a direct injection of saltwater to the interior brackish marsh which has killed land faster than it was produced.

Jesse Griffiths, the genius chef. Says to not put the hog on ice without wrapping it really well. Now I’ve done it both ways and yes, on Ice without wrapping the hog meat, the hog meat will absorb water.. for the best meat quality wrap your hogs and then Ice them
