Into the Clouds: Sitka Blacktail Deer | S1E01 | MeatEater 

OMG you're posting old seasons on here!?!?!?! I'm so freaking stoked!!

Out of the gate, the very best production values on TV: visual, audio, pace, responsibility, complexity. Steven, you are the man.

"Hunting involves missing" honesty is what makes this the only realistic hunting show ever.

Yes, old enough to feel new again. Watched the new season in a night LOL

Other commenters have touched on this, but the beauty of this show, is that it’s real. He shows the misses, the bad hits, the guilt and anger you feel as a hunter. And the overall struggle that makes the experiences and success worth it. Show’d my girlfriend, who’s never hunted, doesn’t have a single family member immediate or extended that hunts or fishes. And she loved the show, and has a new found respect for the sport!!! That’s all because of how well put together these episodes are, and how eloquently Steve describes all aspects of hunting!

THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT HERE.

"You want this wildness to be part of you." I felt that.

Thanks for uploading this. Not sure how else I would’ve watched it.

The first reason I love this show is because I was raised to hunt for my family not my wall and it’s good to see a guy on a show who doesn’t only trophy hunt. I’ve been retired for over a decade now from hunting due to personal reasons but I’m itching to get back into it!!!

love how humble he is, "I Blew IT !!"

“You want this wildness to become a part of you...” very well said Steve. Thank you for being such a fine spokesman for us hunters. Lovin the background music too.

This guy is legit!! I'm glad he shows the good, the bad, and the ugly!! It makes me respect and like him that much more!

"If there was some kind of crazy sheep that lived on Everest, I'd be the first guy up there". Priceless!

The best outdoors show I have had the pleasure to watch. First picked it up on Netflix and then started scouring for more. Steve, thanks for keeping it real man! Your character and insights make the show something special.

I love that the show has always stayed true since the very first episode! Steven is, by far, the best hunting personality out there today! So much knowledge and respect for the game he hunts and the people he meets and shares his trips with.

Watching just how he moves and operates on camera is so nice because him getting comfortable has educated so many people

I'm starting a spinoff show, unlicensed, called meat beater.

Let's gooo!!!! Hopefully this is the start of airing all the episodes/seasons that aren't on Netflix. I can't get enough of this show!

For all those concerned about flying and hunting on the same day...from page 19 of the 2020-2021 Alaska Hunting Regulations guide: "You may hunt deer the same day airborne (provided you are 300 feet from the airplane)." Could have been different 10 years ago but I'm pretty sure Rinella knows his stuff in regards to the regs.

It's interesting to see how the show has changed. Good stuff.

It makes me feel better to see Steve miss...the deer I missed this season was totally 350y away too...

Started watching this show on youtube a few days ago and I’ve been hooked since. It’s crazy interesting seeing how much more comfortable the camera-people get throughout the episodes. The shake on the kill shot is something you never see in newer seasons, and it was the first time I realized how freaky it must be trying to focus on that animal without knowing when a gunshot will happen 10 feet from you lol. Such an amazing show though, everything about it is exactly as it should be

I never imagined someone could make blacktail hunting look even remotely easy. Your the real deal Steve!

Steve you have relit my desire to harvest meat again. Thank you.

Thank you guys for posting the older seasons on youtube. Really appreciated because they aren't on netflix. Favorite show!

Just got seasons 7 - 9 in Netflix and being able to watch the first 4 seasons here is amazing!

Its awesome to see steve back before all the super gear. It makes me feel better about what I'm hunting with.

lol missed a shot continues with “that was the biggest blacktail I’ve ever seen” damn that’s the kinda shot that keeps you up at night . Great show keep it coming please

Please for the love of god, post your older seasons 1 episode a week and I will shit bricks. I watch everything on RU-vid and Netflix by you once every 6 months. Please.....more sir. I must have MOAR!!!!

This guy is an inspiration and a great ambassador for hunters.

There is bad ass dudes like UFC fighters and Soldiers all around the world and then there is Steve.

Yes more Blacktail videos. Love them.

what i like about Rinella, bar none, he eats what he shoots. So much respect.

I hunt vicariously through this dude cuz I can barely walk so I love to see this guy go wherever the game takes him

“Steve saying ‘big buck’ for 22 minutes straight: A compilation”

I am so grateful for this. I was so excited when y'all made the first season available online; but actually posting on youtube makes it so accessible!

My friends and I started hunting because of steve and meateater! We love it! Keep up the great work folks!

rewatching for the.... idk how many times anymore. love this series.

I love this show its preparing me for my first hunting trip next year

I got in a motorcycle accident in 2018, broke my back and much more. I want to start a channel to inspire people to hunt and man would it be and honor to hunt with Steve

Love the content. Steve Rinella is great guy. So informative, interesting and the places he goes are so so so beautiful. Thank you. I have never been hunting in my life. I'm from London far it is a dream that one day I could hunt as this guy Steve Rinella does. Out in the Wilds!! ❤❤❤

Yessssss please put the other seasons on here that aren't on Netflix! Would happily pay to watch them.

So glad I found your channel, I haven't watched in a few years and recently have had that itch to get back out and hunt. Thanks for posting these old episodes, really gets me motivated. Let's eat!

Im a city boy, grew up in Los Angeles area most of my life. Never hunted a day in my life. Damn it Steve, watching your vids inspires me to try it some day. Thanks for the education.

I like the way you are thinking and conversing with yourself... Every second of your thinking is reflected with your eye movements..... THE BEST HUNTER I've come across on RU-vid

Classic MeatEater. I love all the episodes, but the oldies are my fav.

Used to think I hated hunting, went some as a kid and didn’t care for it. Steven made me do a 180. I LOVE THIS!! Thank you Steven!!

What gets me is how humble he is about hunting. He shows his failures as much as he shows his successes. And he always talks about the meat, not how awesome it will look on his wall. People need to realize that there are different types of hunters.

This shit bring me to tears of Joy. A truly beautiful life

Thank you for sharing an old episode. One of my favorites

I lived in Sitka for almost 7 years. Lived off of Black Tail, Halibut, Black Bear, Salmon, and so forth. Sitka Black Tail, next to Moose, is the best tasting game out there imo.

Steve rinella is my hero!

Hands down the best hunting/fishing show ever!! Love how you show everything. Hit/miss field to table,passion and all. Keep up the great work

One of my favorite episodes of yours, thanks for posting it up!

Yes!!! I just happened across the channel and saw the old seasons are on here 24 hours ago! Hell yeah I'm stoked!

Hellll yeah, these should hold me over until part 2 of season 9, thanks guys, favorite tv show and podcast.

Thank you, Meateater team. I am so happy to get to see where you guys came from. Also just overjoyed I get to enjoy more meateater content for free.

Just when I thought you guys couldn't get more awesome, you go and do something like this.

Hell Yes!! Ready for S1 , Ep 2....bring em all...one by one on thru here!! Love this!!

Thank you for putting these old seasons up

Love the show. Haven't hunted since I was a kid but I'm working on getting back into it.

That 1st show of buck there, owes you his life. You're such a veteran 👊💪

The cooking and eating portion of “Meat Eater” is absolutely what makes it my favorite hunting show. When I see a shooter deer my mouth waters a little, every time! Weird? Maybe, but true!

That is beautiful ! my god i'm today years old and jusrt discovering this, Steven you the G!

Best show out glad we're going into the archives!

Steve i grew up in the same area as you. West michigan. Grand rapids to be exact. Ive always been attracted to big open hunts like this but never have had the opportunity. You are so right about hunting in michigan. Between population of hunters and land ownership hunting in michigan is mostly sitting in a blind over bait. To me thats not hunting. I want to be out tracking and have to work for my reward. Love what you do man. Glad you show the ups and downs of hunting and show that not every shot is going to hit and not every hunt will yield meat. But its the enjoyment of being out that makes those losses okay. So what if i missed a shot or didnt get any meat. I got to spend time in beautiful country and see postcard sights and experience wildlife in a intimate way.

Absolutely maybe the coolest mood on planet earth out here in this place.

Me and my 11 year old son love your videos I used the Netflix download feature on my phone your videos were playing in the stand while he harvested his second Northern Minnesota whitetail last weekend beautiful moment and proud Dad the venison is even more delicious knowing my Son helped provide for his family

Really enjoy the episode, I guide hunter regularly in the fog on the Escarpment of Mpumalanga South Africa and understand the challenges and frustrations it can create. Looking forward to watching the rest of the Seasons again. 😆

Absolutely loved this! Please upload more!!

💯% need to keep uploading videos from past seasons! Can't wait for Part 2 of season 9!!

This is the first episode I had seen on the outdoorsman channel, and I instantly fell in love with the show.

One thing I can see between young Steven and old Steven in late season is you don't rush to hunt like this. I like it when you arrive at the hunting site then spend a couple days tracking or watching animals before you shoot.

I am 10 years old and I just got my first white tail 🦌

Never hunted a day in my life but can't get enough of these vids .. binged so many already

FINALLY...im guessing there was some contractual issues keeping these from being put on youtube and netflix. Either way...thanks!! These are some of my favorites!

THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!!! Man I have been wanting to find the old Meat Eater’s forever!

Awesome! I'm excited to see these old seasons!!

Been looking for S1 watched up to season 10. I love this show

Been wanting to watch these early seasons for years!

I've watched all the Netflix stuff glad the older stuff is getting posted here

Man it must be so demoralizing to hike the wet and rain for two days and then miss the biggest Buck you’ve ever seen. Really cool how you didn’t let it get you down and were rewarded for your patience and good attitude.

Super stoked for this. And as most have already said, thank you for uploading.

So glad to see Steve on RU-vid, love the show.

On a meat eater marathon Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago

I hope, that every episode will ever be with german translation! One of the best series i'd ever seen and i really like the spirit of steven. Great job, guys!

I have watched your stuff from day one on the travel channel! Thank you for putting these up!

If they continue uploading these contents regularly they'll be having a million sub by the end of Season 1 easily.

Meateater must have bought the rights back to the old seasons. Can’t wait to watch these!

I’m so happy that these are posted here 👊🏻

I’m pleasantly surprised to see old meateater episodes being uploaded, the fact Netflix hasn’t done whatever it take to get the entire show is vary disappointing. You definitely deserve it

It's not always about the kill, it's the thrill of the hunt. Happy hunting!

So awesome. Thank you for posting this.

Thanks so much for posting the old stuff!

The very first MeaEater episode ever. Pretty fun to watch.

Yes!!! Thank you MeatEater 🙌 🙌 🙌

Thank you meat eater for posting the original series

I have been hunting for 26 years, and the component most hunters miss is the consumption and processing of game in the field. There is no better ending.

This is pure nostalgia, this was the meateater in action. I like the new seasons but I’m hoping seasons 1-4 are getting re-released.

The feeling of missing a shot makes you sick but it also puts you back in to focus and over time it just becomes the thing that happens to us all. Fireside chats for sure.
