Speaking of Meat Eater …

[RiverBuck]

I guess some on here don't have as big of issue with Steve selling out to a democratic gun grabbing group called The Chernin Group as me. Exploiting the hunting industry for profit isn't anything new but if your good then the money will come. Life isn't all about cash but taking what you built and handing the controlling stake of Meat Eater over to an Anti-Gun investment company isn't well thought out.

Steve is a excellent example of how cash can change a man in that his show doesn't have what it had in the beginning. If you can listen to his podcast it won't take long for him to dominate the conversation and step on who ever he's talking with to get his point across.

So... for those that do buy anything with the Meat Eater name on it, you are helping an anti-gun group finance their next move.

     I'm not very familiar with Steve Rinella. I don't watch other people hunt and I'm not big into podcasts. I don't hate him or like him and I'm certainly not jealous of him.
      All I know about him is he sells game cookbooks, but once undercooked bear meat and seriously sickened his diners with trichinosis. And, he is selling what appears to be a production pot call for $300 with his name on it but not hand signed and serialized to 1400 units.
     My first blush opinion to younger hunters or people newer to buying and collecting calls is caveat emptor. Im just chiming in with an admittedly superficial opinion on it, from a guy who's bought way too many turkey calls through the years.

OK, then.   We'll call it good.

I just people would realize that there is no man on this earth that deserves someone's blind loyalty. Not saying Steve is a horrible person but he has his faults just like everyone else in this world. I just prefer to keep my attention on the actual friends I have and interact with. There is a world outside of Instagram tweets and "following " someone. I have my hands full keeping track of my life and being who I want to be as opposed to trying to be like someone else.

Listen to his brother Matt , totally different way of looking at the media craze of selling out the public .

I have listened to Matt, agree with some of the things he has to say as well. I don't "like", "follow" or subscribe to anyone. I do listen and read a lot but quite frankly every person would do well to be their own person and quite trying to be like every other popular figure out there. Every great person has their weaknesses and when you compound it with money and fame it becomes even more tricky. I don't envy anyone who is famous and I want no part of it. I just want to be the best me that I can be. Its saddening watching all the wannabes and copycats running around "following" someone.

I won't give a penny to anything involving Meateater. The Chernin group, Peter Chernin, owns the controlling shares of Meateater. They are as antigun, anti-hunting, and far left as you can get. Anyone that supports Meateater or their sponsors is giving their hard earned money to everything we should stand against. It is all about the all mighty dollar to some and Meateater showed that to be true when they sold out!

Happy agree , be the best you can be . I know who came before me and I strive to do my best each day . Some times I fail but that's fine we are all human .
