Big-antlered Yukon moose are few and far between but hard work pays off for hunters who stick with it until the bitter end.

The best part of this episode was after the missed shot as they both sit there looking entirely disgusted and disappointed, Steve goes “hey, look at the way that sun is hitting those mountains.” As if to say “it’s okay, man. How lucky are we just to be here?” I love this guy.
and then to give up a shot on a trophy bull not just because of the 4 brow horn but also because he knew his buddy felt awful about wounding the young bull... steve is a classy guy, wish more people were like him
they were not disgusted. they were worried that they injured the animal and probably will die by its injuries in a bush and rot like no animal should
@@arn8386 mistakes happen. They were disgusted that they may have injured the animal for sure. That animal will not rott though if it was injured. A bear wil get him. If there was no blood, it's probably okay.
@@arn8386 yeah that moose lost some furr, it’s taken more damage fighting other bulls or trotting through trees.
I scrolled down and saw this comment right as the scene was playing out. Holy fuck. Goosebumps.
Who else been waiting on this episode...?
Anxiety building everyday it wasn't up
This guy!☝️
Mèee
Amen to that brother
I’m waiting for more grizzly hunts
You could literally see the disappointment both of their faces. And they were just so down in the dumps, and then Steve says, "Look at he Sun hitting those mountains." Love this guy.
I thought that was when the hunting accident was going to happen. What a hunt guys! Crazy how well those calls worked. He seemed to be trying to judge distance and effort with every stop.
Read this comment right as he said it. Almost teared up
The emotions brant was feeling is hard to put into words. The feeling of possibly injuring an animal creates a pit in you that stays with you a long time. Coming from a hunter who has injured a moose, I’ll never do it again because it makes you rethink everything. Steve handled this so perfectly.
@@thekoolkidsrock he was too aggressive cause he had the other close call, was too fixated on not wanting to let him get away again.
not only disappointment, but also guilt. No hunter wants to hurt an animal and have it suffer.
The moose is just trucking along singing to himself "I'm getting me some tonight oh yah. Gettin some tonight I am" Booom....lol
Right over his back
@@dallasedc2976 not that one lol
I don’t hunt. I’m not opposed to it, in fact I’d like to at some point. I enjoy cooking and the outdoors so it feels like a great fit. If the guys who work on this show read this, I just want to extend my deepest gratitude for making this show. It feels so much more real than any other outdoor show I’ve watched. I understand we only get to see the highlights (it’s no easy task to distill 10 days into 40 minutes) but there are so many moments where I am in awe of the fact that Steve, Cal, Janis and all the others who have made appearances on this show are active participants in the ecosystem they show off rather than being simple observers. So again, thank you and happy hunting!
Well said !
They are the real deal. Get out and meet some local hunters and educate yourself. Find some folks that you get along with and who are safety and environmentally minded. That's most of the fun with hunting - who you're hunting with. Cheers!
I quit hunting years ago. Doesn't matter, I still enjoy watching Rinella and his crew. Top notch integrity......
I hunt, and have been doing so since 1974. Before that I used to suck my dad into taking me with him when I was too young to legally hunt myself. I only deer hunt now, and making a kill is secondary to me, but I do prefer the taste of venison, properly prepared, over store bought meats. Its been at least 10 seasons since I have gotten a deer, but that does not bother me in the least. There is something about being outdoors, and seeing your hunting buddies for that 2 weeks that makes it special. Anti hunters would never understand, and they also don't realize that those of us that hunt, do far more to preserve wildlife, than their misguided nonsense ever will.
I totally agree. Most of the shows on TV are trophy hunters on ranches that produce huge animals. Steve shows what hard work and public land produces, and it is much more satisfying to watch.
"look at those mountains" so much conveyed, so little said
I just said that to my wife. “Couldn’t have said anything better at that moment.”
Steve saying it was the absolute worst trip he’d ever been on is a big slap in the face to the other guy lol. Some of the best hunting trips I’ve ever been on, we hadn’t downed any game, but enjoy each other’s company.
Man, idk if anyone else mentioned this but the music is just beautiful.
Another hunt behind my computer! I shot that moose with my mouse arrow about a dozen times. I'm becoming a much better keyboard cowboy day by day! Thanks Steve!!
Were you using 100 or 125 grain 😉
😂
This is a lifetime dream for myself. It's steve's season opener.
I'm not a jealous man but we all have a line. I'm jealous.
@@mamterilleq got an extra room? Lol
@@mamterilleq love dipnetting
The day Rinella sells his gear and starts golfing 🏌️♂️ is the day hell 🥶 freezes over.
Without a doubt, the best Hunting, Outdoors and Adventure Chanel there is. Man! I would pay for having a life like this.
If you're willing to pay to do it, you can. Make it happen, no excuses.
Ya gotta work for that life. It doesn’t just fall from the sky.
Right at the lowest depths of disappointment, “Look at that sun hitting those mountains.” Sums up the beauty of hunting, success or no success.
I swear one of my favorite parts is when he speaks at the end of the videos and just lays down some heat!!
Watching Meateater with a glass of bourbon on a Friday night....life is good
You never knew how much you had to poop until a new meat eater comes out
The young mans face was gleaming at the end of the video. You could tell earlier his distraught from knicking the younger bull, now he hit 2 nice shots on a big bull in a beautiful spot. I hope he doesn’t forget either feeling in the future, both keep us genuine.
When he said no blood .damn I felt that
Right? Like relief and disappointment all in one.
I once had a chance to go to Alaska in 1986 after I got out of the Army, as life goes, I never made it there. You guys are living my dream.
Steven is such a great guy and the best buddy ever. Just by saying ''Look at the sun hitting those mountains...'' he meant so much more. He really loves the outdoors, the wild side of life, he really adores the nature even if he's just looking at it. What a guy...
Hard work paid off congrats.
Hope your guys' Monday has gone well. Looking forward to all of your spring planting this year!
@@nathanasimpson q. By the moon
I love these videos it makes me want to d this
"Look at the sun, hitting those mountains." What a poetic moment.. this show is so beautiful.
Was going to going hunting today. However after a 11 day work week, I slept through my alarm. This has cheered me up
That bull went through so much shit to get some ass just to get shot. Poor guy deserves a salute, what a trooper 😂
Brant is one hell of a Hunter. You can just tell.
how satisfaying it is when you worked hard all the week and finaly got one at the very last day !!!!
The sunset quote by Steve.. then that setting by the river during the harvest of the moose... man, that’s it right there.
Wow, every episode of this show brings a tear to my eye. I've never had much in terms of family, so there was no one around to teach me how to hunt, and the family I do have refused to take me out because I'm a woman. I would give anything to be in the hills with these men, appreciating all that this world has to offer, and eating the most responsibly sourced meat on the planet. One day I'll be there, one day.
I taught my self how to hunt...deer and then birds with dogs I trained. Read, read, and read some more and you can do it. Deer hunting isn't that hard really.....there is an old Indian saying: "If you sit quietly in the forest long enough, a deer will give itself to you." And it is true. Every time you go out you will learn about hunting and the ways of animals and more so, about yourself. No idea how old you are but don't wait any longer if you are serious. I'm at the point in life where my body is starting to give in to age and it not only scares me but depresses me as well. Best of luck.....we are only here once.
That bull moose coming to that call was just thrilling to see happen.
Can we get the full 8 hrs video of this bull coming in please..was a beautiful thing to watch
How you make hunting a romance makes it just seem so right. God bless steve.
This has to be one of the best episodes you guys have ever made.
This is my favourite episode. I like the Joe Rogan ones too because they're funny but the emotional lows and highs of this one is special.
“Just gonna have to keep hittin him; he’s got a short attention span” Exactly what all my teachers said…
@18:55 I know what you mean. I'm not a hunter but I'm really into fishing and some days when the fishing is extremely tough, I just think about why my nephews and I even took that trip and maybe I should sell all my gear lol. But then out of nowhere my nephews catch a couple 3-4 pound bass and to see their excitement and joy in fighting and holding such a fish brings the passion all back and I realize again the reason why I love fishing so much. Then watching the sunset while we're all out there having fun and enjoying our time with each other just brings it all together and it's the perfect way to end the day.
this is one of my favorite episodes. i bet moose tastes better cooked over an open fire alongside an alaskan river.
Strong statement here but, Steve is the greatest to ever do it and Meat Eater is the greatest, most informative and educational hunting/cooking show of all time.
Steve, you are obviously the “star” of this series, but your videographers and writers deserve most of the credit. Please keep up the awesome work. Thank you.
I am stunned every time I see the quality of the footage they produce. Simply some of the best I have seen....
I dont post or care to, but Steve, your passion for the outdoors brought a tear to my eyes when u said, " look at how the sun hits the hills." Cannot tell u how many times I forget to enjoy the little things and appreciate what it means to be outdoors. Thank you
10:00 is single handed the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on a hunting video. That moose looks like 5 miles away and comes right in.
That opening scene. Looked like that was the hardest thing Steve had to ever tell someone.....that they missed......to another experienced Hunter.
I've never had moose but my mouth is watering
Moose is fantastic tasting! Better them Elk or deer,but I love them all.
A bad hunt can turn into an awesome hunt in a heartbeat.
I love that you don't hide the mistakes you all make. Just reminds me of mistakes I've made and learned.
Such a great story teller. You almost smell that fresh mountain air and smell the fish cooking over the fire.
As a professional moose hunting guide from Newfoundland, Canada. Great job boys. There’s no better feeling than when you have that moose coming on a string, just playing him like a fiddle. Our moose don’t get as big as Alaskan moose, but we sure have a lot. Densest population in North America, my camp has 3 other guides in it, we have 4 hunters a week for 5 weeks each year. 100% success rate in the last 6 years.
Gotta love the redemption arc over these two episodes. Great hunt and great storytelling once again...
The redemption, honestly happy for him bro looked so upset when he missed that smaller bull, it was just natures way of sayin hold up I got u
you know its a great day when they upload
My bucket list is getting looonger with each episode....... thanks!!!
Great time to upload, got class in an hour.
They are so lucky the river was that height and right there! Meat looked amazing!
You can guess that Steve was not joking about quitting hunting at the time. He look tired af and it's his first hunt after contracting trichinosis, must've been a bit depressed. Glad he could get his Moose to get the flame back.
Maybe if he didn't eat everything that moves he wouldn't get sick. The man ate coyote
That's an epic hunt. Rollercoaster of emotions on this one
Gotta love the poetic Rinella outro.
The moose said I’m getting me some yum yum , nah your ass getting a bullet .
Count on the wildlife biologist to take the wildest shot in MeatEater history. Classic.
Unbelievably good content. The experiences you had on this trip can not be described in words. Thanks for sharing such amazing images
Theses 2 really need to get some VHF radio’s
5:14 that was the perfect thing Steve could of said at that moment.
Steve has the best job in the world!
I thought i had an "entry level" rifle, but looks like he's also using a Remington 780. Hell yeah!
Unbelievable content again Steve! Best channel on youtube
Fauk, now the work starts. Young mans game.
This was real hunting. One of my fav episodes
Never a disappointment. Thank you Mr. Rinella. The way you hunt an the words you use too discribe the success. Means so much to us average Hunter's.
Did anyone else wait until both episodes were out so you could watch both xD
After that first attempt the only wounding was Brants heart.....he looked absolutely devastated lol
We all wish we had more time. More time to hunt. More time to fish. More time to live. Love this show!
Steve and the crew is just spoiling us rotten with these episodes. What an awesome trip to enjoy with a hot cup of morning coffee and some breakfast. I also have to mention something not being recognized enough: your choice of music to back up the show. I wish you'd make an official soundtrack list available on Spotify. It's that absolutely perfect mix of somber, thoughtful mountain blues and cheery blue grass. To me it's half the experience when watching an episode. Great music helps make a great show.
Steve let him have that bull because he needed more after that miss. Keep I mind that Steve paid for this hunt. That was the best part to me.
Great hunt fellas, I am with you on letting Brant take the bull, he needed a boost. Injuring or missing can take a mental toll. Congratulations.
Steve, there are no words to describe your show! The hunting , the filming, and the cooking!!! Keep it going brother.
Probably one of the best episode ever, thanks for that!
Now that I have started filming some outdoors adventures I have a huge appreciation for this show. It's so hard to hunt and film. You guys have done an awesome job. Congrats!!
Big enough bullets Brant, but it did take two to get ‘em. Moose before that three regular bullets with Ryan Callahan. Massive animal 😮
Ironically, golf is the same way. You might say, "Maybe I'll sell my golf clubs and take up hunting." lol
What an episode! Having just lost a deer last time I went out, I can so commiserate with Brents and miss and feel his pain wondering what he's done to it. Missing is tough to get over so to hit the bug buck after that takes balls.
Singe best episode of Meateater. Change my mind.
calling it and watching it cross back and forth through the river... what a freaking HUNT! That was awesome. Think about all the great ones that didn't get filmed.
Steve’s a good friend letting Brandt take a shot on a moose he spotted even after botching a previous attempt
This is a hunt that brings a tear of joy to the eye. What an adventure.
Has to be one of the best episodes of meateater.. well done boys!!
One of my favorites Steve. Thank you.
Finally. I made the mistake of watch part 1 as soon as you posted it.
I hunted Kudu and Oryx on our farm in Namibia when I was growing up, but that was so much easier than what you have to go through. Hats off to you intrepid hunters. But I dream of shooting an Eland one day.
Gave me shivers, watching this one. Nice work Meat Eater crew.
Fantastic video Steve.. You just do things right, everything about your show is just right for me
An outstanding segment. Well done Meateater crew.
Literally the dream.
Damn Alaska is so beautiful. I hope most of it stays protected.
Hands down the best hunting video on YT.
Best episode so far. Felt like I was there.
Awesome moose so glad you both had such a memorable ending to your hunting trip.stay safe
Steve, this is one of my favourite of your hunts. In Northern Ontario we also use the water to our advantage for moose hunting. Would like to see more moose hunting if possible. Come to Canada.
You can't even get a tag in Northern Ontario.. but it's a great place for getting charged criminally
This guy doesn’t have as many subscribers as he deserves
Hands down my favorite episode!
“Look at the sun hitting those mountains”
Dang i didnt think yall were going to ever get this uploaded, thank you...enjoyed it..
By far one of my favorite episode!!!!
That call in on video was epic
