“I have a scat collection” and just moves on like he didnt just say he collects shit lmao

Watching you "fail" (not taking an irresponsible shot) makes me feel so much better about my "failures", can't even tell you. Most hunters don't post videos like this. Thanks for teaching us all!

It really does a disservice when presenters only show their “greatest hits”. People come away thinking all hunters care about is killing, when some of my favorite memories are when I couldn’t get a shot. I could probably trade my gun for a camera and have just as much fun, except my belly would be empty. I also love that he shows the cooking side, I like making the food as much or more than killing it. Seems to make the experience more complete when you see it go from on the hoof to on the plate.

Failures are a part of life and a part of hunting. Not knowing when an episode will end with success makes me feel like I am on the hunt myself. Thank you for the realism and the ethical decision making, Steve.

Two things i highly appreciate about this episode - you made alot of cuts between the shots but we still managed to understand how you approached the animals (like where are you located in that area and where are they). And i think its super important to just how the failure that takes place while hunting. The post production on this didnt make it appear staged. This comment might get buried because this upload was a year ago but im glad you uploaded/produced it.

You know what I love the most about this show, it shows realistic hunting expeditions. You win some, you lose some but the pursuit and journey is the most important. Oh yeah, plus he's not sitting on top of a tree while a feeder's been sitting there for weeks fattening everything up. Guy's actually hunting!

Respect for not taking the shot. Some hunters would've gambled that. Especially when you think you've worked hard for it. Thumbs up from Republic of South Africa 🇿🇦

So interesting to see the change from the first season to current, the man hasn’t changed but I’m thankful the camera resolution has!

Every time Steven Rinella says glass or glassing.... You have to do a double shot of 1800....😳😳

This is by far the best hunting KZread channel I've ever watched. Stephen Rinella needs to get more respect. subscribe he's a legend

Mate this was one of my favourite episodes. I loved it. The arduous hunt, rough terrain, elusive game. That's hunting! Awesome.

It's so fantastic to witness a ethical hunter in action. I recall my father's many times instructions on ethics in respect to hunting and watching your work is the very definition of Ethical Hunting. Thank you. I enjoy every minute!

This guy is THE MAN

Even if the hunt isn't successful, it's still the hunt that drives you. This is better than watching a hunting video on a game ranch where the animals don't stand a chance. You hunt in the true wild. That's why your videos are amazing.

Enjoyed this hunt again and the end result caught me by surprise as it did the 1st time. Thanks OnX...loving it.

Really enjoyed this one. I've been wanting to see Steve hunt Sheep for ages, particularly the big horns. They look like such a difficult hunt. Cheers Meateater for releasing the old episodes, I've enjoyed the podcasts and the Netflix eps, excited to see these as they come out.

That area of West Texas - doesn’t get much rougher. Love that country.

As someone who's never hunted before. I find that watching meat eater and watch Steven's stance on hunting and being a responsible hunter makes me eager to get out there and go on my first hunt. I like the idea of hunting to survive and stop buying this over priced processed shit in the stores. Steven is an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others. Heres to a new generation of safe responsible hunters

"Something got lucky on this rock." And, something didn't!

Hands down, my favorite non native specie to guide for and to hunt. When you get one, you have earned it! Hunting them is like a mini sheep hunt, in that It’s hard work, but you get to take a shower and sleep in a real bed at night 🙂 Short of drawing a sheep tag or doing an Alaskan/BC hunt, I’ll take these any day as a real challenge.

I think this hunt deserves a second try. I would like to see it in the season 9 part 2

Got so much respect for this man.

I have hunted that ranch for many years, got two good mule deer and a really good aoudad. That cave is in a really cool canyon just about a dry creek bed.

Great hunt - thanks for taking us along!

Thank you for putting these episodes up.

Best hunting show! The first hand filming makes me feel like I’m there with Steve.

You came down here in the winter months. You are LUCKY to find any Aoudads.

I like how he eats more gourmet than most of us to on our anniversary dinners... but also doesn't bring a fork and eats with a stick haha

We use it also for hunting pheasants ducks and geese. It gives me a name to talk to to get permission, so there is that too. Lots of ways to use it.

10/10 loved the quail bonus hunt

Love that they also show parts without success

First appearance of first lite gear. Weird to see him without it in previous epis.

Would love to hear Steve speak on his rifle, ammo and gear being used. All the way down to his boots that he prefers. Binos as well.

Every time I watch these videos, I always end up so hungry.

The wild,mountains will tell you if your in shape, for sure

The hunt is an experience that creates the memory. A treasure in itself regardless of the outcome.

‘You ain’t Aoudad’...thank you I’m here all week

This guy hunts. His show isn't about the kill, or the horrendous fist pump, it is about the whole experience. I like it

It’s funny I have hunted all my life in the south east US and had never heard the term “glassing” and now I hear it 5 times every episode of this lol

I've hunted those also, up in the northern parts of Texas above Big Springs. On the third day I peeked over the edge of a cliff. I found one just waking up from it's bedding area. I made an almost straight down shot and killed my only ram. They are indeed hard to hunt in their natural environment. I saw quite a few on that hunt. But usually when I spotted them, they were looking at me. Thanks for the video. Brings back memories.

I love your channel so much. Makes me miss the good old times my dad and me would love to hunt. Life just caught up getting older. It’s hard to find time to go. I definitely want to get back on the mountain here in 2021

Yo Steve! Love your youtube videos and Netflix series. Amazing content. Any chance you can give us a tour of all your mounts? Thanks for the awesome videos!

WOOO EPISODE 8!

Love it. Hunting is much more than getting the shot. That was an awesome hunt.

Thank you for these!

HOLY SOOO GOOOD

Slick production dude, Hollywood awaits.

These videos are awesome and inspire me to continue hunting

I went with a disabled friend of mine to a "high fence" hunt in Texas. He watched a "heard" of Aoudad in front of his blind for over an hour. He did not shoot because he didn't know Aoudad was such a trophy animal (Thought the were just some goats. LOL). He took a trophy Axis deer that hunt with his crossbow and I will always remember that hunt.

The music sure got a hell of a lot better, and more appropriate for the endeavor, than the first season's.

Never measure the success of a hunt by a bag limit.

I have a dutch oven but not a fork, lol. Great show.

Awesome Show... keep em coming

Steve is Badass!!

Awesome. Thank you.

That wishbone wasn't dryed out. You knew it would break right lol. Kudos

Damn that quail looked so good!!

Can you believe the Aoudadcity of these sheep?

I love this show so much.

Just went to SW Texas on my first Aoudad hunt and was lucky enough to be successful on top of a Mesa peaking at 3900 feet above sea level, all while being pregnant! It's such a different way to hunt for me, especially being from Michigan! Thank you Steven for being an idol and motivator for me to explore new places and game!

i can't wait for round 2!!!
