Matt is looking at the US. Steve is a global ambassador to hunting and conservation in countries where hunter numbers are drastically declining. Anyone here who hates on Steve for making money in doing so is a hard socialist There are public lands that have a high hunter density and some that basically have zero. Let’s promote and respect hunting those lands. Let’s promote respecting the over hunter public lands. He’s not wrong, but his message is on the extremism side of the line with a pinch of brotherly jealousy

Canada owns over 12 million acres of property, mostly forest, in the United States. 40 million acres of forest and farms are owned by foreign countries and investors. How's that sit in your craw? While numbers of hunters are down, so is the available property for hunting AND with the ability to support huntable numbers of game species. We all know that the quality of the environment is very low on the list of most humans, including so many hunters except when they are hunting. Conservative and Conservation are rarely in the same room together. We have had no Teddy Roosevelts in office since hisself. Montana had a huge Court judgement recently. Curious how that will turn out.

Not only that. He started a podcast. He’s a hitter idiot.

Thing is with meat eater, there is no 20 min of commercials spamming sponsors for shit that does nothing but makes millions. We watch most eater because it litteraly is a hunting show. Numerous episodes Steve eats tag jerky. He stays connected to what hunting is to him and in turn it has brought back ALOT of people that wouldn't keep pushing. Hunting is about the experience not what an animal scores. The younger hunters have been completely ruined by social media and main steam "hunting" programs. Simple because the mainstreamers are owned by their sponsors so they have to do high fenced to get kills. Fuck it, comment is long enough. Let hunters hunt.

As a former professional cameraman and producer for many outdoor shows, I can say that it’s all about the money. I have witnessed good intentions turn to product placement overnight. Lies, back stabbing and immoral behaviors is why I got out of it. I refused to be a part of that scene anymore. They thank Jesus as they are lying, breaking game laws and cheating on their wives. Sad.

Steve desensitized the non-hunting community, and allowed them a new perspective, which in turn helps to make ethical hunting more acceptable and understandable. The hunting community needs this, because for most of us it is a passion, but not too long ago it was a nessecity. It is in our DNA, but society came up with a false narrative and made the majority of us believe that hunting is not a human trait - but it is.

I got into hunting because of Steven Rinella. I understand the problem. I life in north east Germany where we dont have to many people but a good amount of wild game. Even here we see that hunting,fishing has become more popular. People wanna get that stone age feeling back which we lost throug the digital age. But I will never forget one specific thing that Steven Rinella said. Dont be to pickY with what you have in the beginning. If my only change here were to catch perch and I would be allready grateful.

Guides flooded the unit and now the hunt is unrecognizable. A general hunt. An easy basic hunt just ruined. Those influencers are hot garbage.

I mean. I know Steve. I have meat eater episodes saved I sleep to and use for background noise. I didn't even know he had a brother. From what I've seen and read of Steve he is everything I want to be as a hunter. I mean he's and clays moose hunt had me in tears.

Cabelas, outdoor channel and Hollywood has done more to ruin hunting for the common man than anything else.

Bitterness and Jealousy oozes from Matt.... so sad

"It's probably a betrayal thing." Huh, cause that sounds like that's what this dude did!

So, the fact that I never knew Steve had a brother at all says volumes about the positive impact and kindness that comes from Steve in all his interactions with everyone on his show. Nothing against Matt but what positive impact has he produced for hunters and non hunters?

It's a difficult subject. On one hand you want more hunters and anglers to keep our sport, hobbie, passion and lively hoods alive and to keep it going for future generations because we all know there is certain entities trying to take it all away from us. But On the hand there is nothing more frustrating then fighting the orange army on opening day, less odds on drawing the tags you want, seeing social media hunters and anglers blowing up spots, less opportunities in general, i feel like being a hunter made you kind of unique and people were interested in you because of it but now everyone and their mother is a bow hunter lol Ideally you want more hunters just not in your spot...

Yep not an easy thing to put a finger on…one thing is for certain, more access fixes things

@@HUNTRPOD i agree. Here in the PNW timber companies have made access a pay to play thing or just down right don't allow access at all. Would definitely help if the state opened up more gates but we also have dirt bag people that dump trash, recklessly shoot, driving off trail, etc etc. So i understand them not wanting people back there too.

ON Public Land you have no spot!... it's first come first serve. Matt's just being self centered. There's more than enough public land to support more hunters. If your not comfortable with the density of hunters on opening day, pick your lazy ass up and hike deeper into the woods..? That's where the animals go anyway? And! If you get int here earlier...you can use the other hunters to push the animals to you!? 😂😅😂

It seems to me that the issue is over crowding. There was a steady decline of hunters and with that an increase in game. Now that those numbers have risen due to the popularity of hunting personalities people are upset that there won’t be as many tags, land and opportunities as there once were. But on the same note we need hunters to hunt. Land management is crucial for the survival of the species we know, love and want to harvest. I think another thing that has ruined it for a lot of people is greedy landowners and old fudds that cut off access or buy up land and make it private. We should be advocating for more public land and better hunter to hunter interactions above all.

Matt was on Steve's podcast a few years ago, and after listening I emailed MeatEater and said. "That guy is an a**, don't have him on any more." he was being extremely critical of Steve for glamorizing hunting, and I thought to myself the whole time, "does he watch the show? Steve shows at least as many failures as successes, and he also is very clear about when and how they screw up." MeatEater is awesome!

Its crazy how similar Steve and his brother sound.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to hunt or fish. If being in a spot where u don't see any other hunter or fisherman is important to u pay up and join a lease or get a boat . Its definitely money driven... and if ur only doing it for the trophy ur being greedy and ur part of the problem. Just a country boys opinion..

I’ve never hunted public my whole life but in my opinion matt needs to grow up, if you want to hunt without anyone else near you go hunt private land

Dude you have no idea how crappy public land has gotten in Montana in the last 5 years. Not every one can just go hunt private land.

I appreciate his stance and also think it’s horrible that they’re estranged because of it

I am over commercial hunters.....its ridiculous. They have ruined hunting for many of us. They are privileged hunters

I’m glad that CNN compiled this video .. wouldn’t want to leave anything out especially something like the truth ..

What’s going on!?!? Is it the corner crossing?

How would one not feel betrayed? I support Matt and his opinions. Simply put, Matt would not have a voice if not for Steve. No one would care about his thoughts at all. For him to use his position to discredit his younger brother is trash. Family should take priority over your precious Elk hole.

Actually being family shouldn't force you to be a "yes man" that's what friends are for. Family is supposed to tell you hard truths. I doubt Steve is actually mad about it and is just protecting his brand, more or less. Just because Steve's fame gave Matt a voice doesn't mean he needs to live his life voiceless. That's the point of the 1st amendment. Even the meekest among us and non-famous have a right to speak.

@@andrew348there’s a difference between expressing a different opinion and essentially blaming your own brother for the deterioration of an entire sport

Its a complex issue. On one hand we need awareness on hunting/conservation and a healthy population of hunters. On the other hand hunting is being glamorized to death and public land access is now over-run with hunters. Being from Louisiana it doesn't affect me much. Hunting has always been extremely competitive and crowded here. If you can't afford private land you can expect to deal with dozens if not hundreds of pickup trucks in public land parking lots.

A "tough stance" aka being stubbornly opinionated about sharing information with people. If Matt had it his way he would be the only person allowed to hunt PUBLIC land.

When you get paid to hunt or fish, and have to do it at such a rate that you are annually putting thousands and thousands of pounds of meat in the freezer, BUT only need 500ish pounds of meat to consume each year, you have become a professional trophy hunter and the type of hunter everyone hates….. it’s the nature of the beast! “You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” -Harvey Dent(Aaron Eckhart)

No idea what the hell they're talking about

What is this from?

He sounds exactly like Steve

What is the CONTEXT, for this short? I take it, this is Matt? Steve-Meat-eater's brother? Worse than Click Bait, this was! DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA WHY? WHAT? Absolutely ZERO attempt to explain the WHAT.......... Popcorn is Popped and Buttered...! Sibling Rivalry, posted for the masses..."Woe is me! My Bro is more popular!" If you gonna air dirty laundry....at least give us the Clothes Line or Clothespin?

Meanwhile here in Australia, a few years ago, they changed the bag limit on sambar deer from one a day to unlimited, and you could live n die out in the bush without ever meeting anyone

Here’s the thing. It’s always on my mind. Monetizing the outdoors used to be selling game meat, hides, skulls etc… Now it’s Meateater, Hoyt, Simms, etc… The industry has filled the woods with social media trophy hunters with too much money. And it sucks for the regular folks who would sell their soul before the sold their most prized asset. Aside from family of course. Steve is a sellout and that’s a fact. I love his show and the people he works with. But the trade off is woods filled with folks who would be better off financially to buy grass fed meat but still hunt because they see it on tv and social media. It’s bugleshit.

I remember the podcast between them. It was rough.

this dude definitely is injecting his arms 😂

how is a media outlet like this any different? i get matts initial point, but this is getting a little hypocritical.

Ok, I'll be THE ONE. What happened and what stance are we talking about that caused hard feelings?

Basically Matt said his brother is one of the main causes for creating too many hunters and driving it to be very commercialized and profit off it

Matt is 100% correct. Meateater has lost what made it so great. Ever since they sold out ,you see less and less of Steve. Now they are selling board games. Lost what made them relatable.

It's just a money maker now, which is fine provided you maintain quality as it pertains to content. Steve is the brand. Now, you see and hear from him less and less, slap the logo on a cheap pos coffee cup or a bottle of average bourbon (both in my possession) and you damage your relationship with your core.

Some of his complaints about commercializing hunting are legit, but the way he came out against hunting media was dumb. Alienating Steve was going to be the only result.

I watch ME all the time. I hunted with my dad as a kid now as an adult in 2 weeks I’m going in my first guided hunt. It will be the first time I’ve been hunting in 30 years.

I have a brother, personally I feel that. They disagreed strongly on one aspect. But the overall they probably agree on. But they probably won't budge cuz they're very stubborn both of them from what I Can tell. And I Admit I Lean towards Steve's side. But totally understand Matt's argument. And I'm just a Weekend hunter In Missouri. That doesn't make money off anything but being the maintenance guy.

If the purpose was to tell us nothing, you have succeeded.

hunters against hunters. might as well call matt an anti.

Matt is allowed to be a hunting celebrity, but no one else can, because they take photos and try to encourage people to hunt. But if he encourages people not to hunt while hunting it okay. Potatoes ain’t tomatoes, even if you paint them red.

Celeb hunting is fucking up our opportunities.

The only issue is when hunting becomes an elitist activity, which its creeping towards. Its getting so expensive and competitive in the west

Imagine damaging your relationship with your brother because of your opinion on hunting.

I feel like being a content creator and being a public figure in the eyes of a lot of people wouldn't only help increase the amount of people that would love to help build bigger and better hunting areas and population but is going to also bring more people that want to do the right kinds of hunting like leaving the little bucks to grow and being more selective in what they take

I agree with Matt

The meateater christmas podcast from a few years ago is where all this came from I suppose?

I like the fact that Steve has opened allot of younger people’s eyes to the hunting world. When the older hunting generations die off. There won’t be enough people into it to keep it from getting banned. We gotta keep that flame lit.
