Meateater controversies aside. An alternative to Meateater

[Robster]

This isn't a love/hate Steve Rinella or Meateater thread. Personally, I enjoy his show and podcast. But, there are alternative "entertainers" with some of the same kind of messages. Not about trophy hunting, but catch, clean, cook type of videos. I am always looking for more of these channels so I figured to start a thread on it. Here are a few of my favorites, please feel free to add any that you know so I can check them out as well.

These are all Youtube Channels:
Deer Meat For Dinner, Robert Arrington

Blue Gabe, Gabriel Aarrington

Backwoods Gourmet Channel

And a cooking show for cast iron open fire enthusiasts

Pinhoti Project on YouTube is awesome for the turkey hunters out there. It’s literally a guy and his buddies with a few cameras so it doesn’t have the production quality of Meat Eater, but he is super entertaining and is a pro at getting after the birds.

Not much cooking on his channel FWIW but his hunts are great and he does some pretty good analysis/breakdowns of his hunts in the off-season. Really informative and fun to watch. Much more casual than the trophy hunt channels.

Deer meat for dinner is a good channel and Robert Aarrington is a really good guy

There is a hunting show on sportsman channel called Mtn Top Outdoors started by a few local guys here in PA. The 2nd half of the show usually includes a cooking special featuring Huntchef. Check them out.

Solo hunter with Remi Warren and Tim Burnett is awesome

Ive been watching deer meat for dinner since the beginning and for the most part love it. I just get a little turned off with any of these shows when they start to get some money and bam everything is brand new and they are building a big house and buying all new trucks for the whole family. that's great they are successful but that's not why people follow them. still a great channel but just is a turn off sometimes when they get into the buying all new gear everytime they do something. I guess im too much of a build it not buy it guy.

I would hate to be a turkey and have Dave Owens after me.... that guy is awesome.

For cooking specific, and even more specific BBQ.... I've really been liking chef tom's stuff @ allthingsbbq for the last couple years.

chef tom rocks but man the calories

Luckily there is so much good content readily available anymore, there is something for everyone. I personally like meat eater and really enjoy wired to hunt pod cast.

I haven’t checked the others listed but I will now, thank you for sharing.

Samong outdoors is a God fearing young hunter who has a good variety and keeps it real.

 

[bozeman]

Dude: backcountry gourmet chicken gravy & biscuits.....you better hide the kids! whoa! that looks like a backcountry meal for sure!!!

 

[Procision Arms]

We’ve worked with them through the past year, stand up guys and a great chef who takes wild game cooking to the next level.

 

[WV Mountaineer]

FWIW, Steve Rinella is a self proclaimed trophy hunter. And, there isn’t a thing in the world wrong with it.

 

[FLATHEAD]

I do like me some hunt/fish/ cook youtube stuff.
What I like best is the regular Joe part of it. Not any
celebrities or team whatever telling me how its done.
