I’m from the western part of Colorado and I’ve been around hunting all my life and never thought much of the activity. Since watching Meat Eater on Netflix I have been absolutely fascinated with the history and the question and answers that come with hunting. Steve Rinella is amazing at fueling my understanding and desire to know more. This book is nothing less and even more than what I expected from him. A fantastic guy and a fantastic book. Even if you don’t enjoy the concept of hunting of have some kind of distain for the sport and those who partake, read this book. Not to change you mind but to grow in knowledge and understanding of the hunters mind and the reason conservationist like Steve Rinella do what they do. And if you’re a hunter and haven’t bought this book yet, what are you doing?! It’s Fantastic!

Invaluable information, stories that make you feel like you’re there, and a true outdoorsman. I wish it were longer. Onto the next book!

For anyone who loves the outdoors, give this a read and you’ll find yourself lost in the great outdoors with Steve and his adventures

This was a great book to read. Steven did a great job painting a story. It felt as if I was with him on every hunt. I learned, laughed, and was entertained. Looking to read the next book I can find by Steven Rinella.

Enjoyed each chapter with a little personal story, history lesson, and meal preparation ideas. Recommend the book for anyone

I’m no literary critic or journalism major, but I am an avid outdoorsman. As a matter of fact, I’m blessed enough to be writing this review from the beautiful rolling hills of central Mississippi on my hunting property. (Sitting in my camper listening to the wind buffeting and swirling while wearing a brimmed beanie.) Believe it or not, several months ago, a friend who has never taken an animal as his prey contacted me and told me I had to watch Meateater on Netflix. I obliged and was instantly hooked. To watch an outdoorsman “celebrity” who actually puts out a product that allows the outdoors to be the star is genuinely refreshing. After watching all I could I had to find more. I couldn’t put the book down. In a way, the words describing the events seemed more vivid than watching the show in HD. I finished the book some time ago and do apologize for just now getting to the review. I’ve since subscribed to the Meateater podcast and have, on many occasions, been scolded by friends and family to take the earbuds out and pay attention to my immediate surroundings. Tangent: I was able to harvest my first legitimate whitetail with a bow opening day this season. After cleaning the heart and wrapping it in in caul fat, I roasted it to a beautiful dark brown and relished as I dined on the flesh as well as the majesty. You’ve added flavor and depth to my outdoor experiences, and for that I am grateful. Rather than it being all about the kill, you show the world that the true outdoorsman does it for the pursuit, harvest, care and consumption. Your intelligent discussion and delivery on ALL topics involving the outdoors, including engaging criticism and naysayers, is what we need more of as an outdoor community. Please continue to explore the last wild places on the planet and let us know what they look like, feel like and taste like. There is no one doing it better.

Great

Well written .
