Meat Eater - Steve Rinella in Africa

[Hunt anything]

One thing I’ve noticed is him skinning big game with what looks to be a 2” blade on his knife and using the same knife to fillet a fish. Much better tools for the jobs at hand. Just me being quirky i guess.

African hunters should be really happy to see this. Steve Rinella reaches a large audience and I think has been a very positive influence for encouraging new hunters in North America with his message even if I disagree with some points. Many of his past comments on hunting Africa though have really bothered me. This trip will change that. If he talks about it on his next Joe Rogan podcast, hunting in Africa as a positive will reach an even wider audience.

I agree wholeheartedly. Rinella is articulate, intelligent, and an effective advocate for hunting.

I really like his show and the spin-offs. He will be a great advocate for African hunting is he dares to go full in. So not the safe buffalo hunting but giving his support for hunting all of the other big five species.

I think he already made the case for sustainable hunting in North America to a lot of non hunters. Even in my own country where hunting is really small the show is on Netflix. If he can change hearts and minds about hunting in Africa he can do really good for us as hunters. To the younger generation he has a great cultural impact.

Although I am glad he went, what’s slightly annoying about this is that if you have followed along, he has been very critical of the “colonialist hunters” who went to Africa, saw a species for the first time them started blasting away. He has now become the very thing he criticized so heavily because he had “no context” I.e living among them, with the animals he hunted.

He really does need to clear that deck on that in mind. It was one of the things that really annoyed me because for a guy who is pretty intelligent, it was incredibly reductive.

Has anyone seen him actually hunting in Africa. Or is it all talking about hunting. Every episode I’ve seen is him and his PH talking. Zero hunting.

It will be out later this year.

He seems likable enough. Just don’t let him cook wild game for you. Especially pork or Bears. He’s given himself Trichinosis twice

I probably watch the spin-off shows more. I did like the one where they cooked under utilized species until they claimed you could shoot crows in Alabama when in fact there is no closed season in the state.
