    Steve, Remi, Cal, Yannis and others on this show have helped to change my life! I didn't grow up a hunter but my son and I have spent the last two seasons hunting together and there's nothing like it. These guys have inspired me. I spent this last week skinning, quartering and butchering my own deer. I have a working knowledge of the animal and how to use it. It's an awesome feeling. Getting ready to make a whole smoked venison ham for my family this Christmas 🎄! Thank you Steve, please keep doing what you do man 👍

      The math says that in 5 years, there is 90% chance you never draw the tag, but that means there is 10% chance that you draw a tag at least once in 5 years. That's rough, but not impossible. Just for fun, there is a 55% chance that you strikeout 30 years in a row! Ouch!

Now I'm hooked. Netflix or CZcams, I'm watching all this channel's vids.

      @@509Gman I think he said on his most recent joe Rogan appearance (this month) that he’s still never killed one. I could be mistaken and maybe he was talking about wolves

    Nice work, and looked like a tasty meal, but I gotta say, it broke my heart to see them broken up like that.

    Best show in the biz! Diversified skills. ! That is what the country was built on. The idea that you would just do one thing for the rest of your life ... that is a new concept. I think people are starting to realize it was all just a lie.
    You guys kick ass keep it up,keep cooking ,hunting shooting,writing articles,going on adventures, driving big trucks ....it’s all bad ass and we love it thank you!!
    And if you put a thumbs down on this show you need to go home and really consider your humanity.
