Stud bull for sure! @ Shawn Ryan did you run into him on your hunt?

Just finished the podcast.  Great bull, great hunt, great storytellers.

Yes, I did. The night he got there and text messages during the hunt. Mine was one of the two trucks he mentions in the podcast being parked in the spot they first drove to. Talked with him awhile about who was hunting where and what we had been seeing.  He accurately states that the conversations were really open and honest about who was seeing what and where.  Interesting to hear him talk about the hunt and stopping by the camp where they wanted to hunt. I talked and ate (they fed me) with those hunters several times. Really good guys.

Steve was very conscious of how large of a footprint his crew made on the landscape and did not want to impact other hunters' experience.  I found that profound.  I enjoy his podcast and show and found him to be the same guy for the time that I talked with him: genuine, nice, funny, conscientious.

I'm sure I came off as some groupie when I instantly recognized him and bewilderedly asked "Steve Rinella? As in Meat Eater?" when he first turned around and prior to him even saying hello.

Awesome to hear about him and how he interacted with everyone.  There is hope yet for some of the TV show guys.

Wow what a bull! We need more guys like him...he has by far the best show on TV

I was surprised and a little disappointed at how specific he got in his podcast, he usually doesn’t do that when he’s talking about huntin spots. Makes me wonder what they’ll say on the tv episode. Needless to say draw odds just got a whole lot tougher next year.

Very happy to hear this.

He comes across as such a decent guy, I'm glad he acted that way with.

I only watch a couple shows... His is one of them.
