As a german hunter I really appreciate you giving that Buck the last meal. Here in Germany the "letzter Bissen", as we call it, is a tradition held in extremely high regard. It shows respect for the creature you´ve been hunting.
Never been hunting but plan too soon. I learned a lot from what you said. "Big bucks make people do stupid things." The situation and that comment taught me a lot. Thank you.
Best outdoor channel am I right !?
Yes you are hundred percent right!
Yes sir
On TV
Hands down. Best variety and best quality, from shows where nothing is harvested and you still watch the whole thing to getting trophies in the beginning of the episode. No matter the result these videos are educating and interesting to say the least
Hands down
Man these guys should really have over a million subscribers for the content they are putting out, like they put out tv quality and quantity content on a RUclips channel which is rare
I agree, and I am sure they will get there. MeatEater has been around quite a while and was on Netflix for quite a while. Now they are releasing the old episodes on RUclips and getting in front of a whole new audience.
@J T No it is not. This is brand new content.
@@bluesteel8376 I’m pretty sure this is just re uploaded content from the x hunt streaming service.
@@bluesteel8376 no sorry you are wrong this is re-uploaded and on Netflix just like the fishing trip he did down in South America they uploaded last week
@@dawsondarrington2136 hjhkhjjjjjhjjjiggh😂😂🙃🇺🇲😱🤬😡
Really appreciate the honesty on all Janis videos. He seems I afraid to keep it real, including all the lows hunting can put you through.
As a michigander i am proud to stake claim to Steve as one of our own. And for his team they are top notch ethical hunters. We need more like this.
Best production value out there. What a brand!
17:21 "Letzter Bissen" (Last bite). A german hunters custom that made it over the years to all german neighbouring countries.
Now it makes it over the Atlantic too. :) It is an old hunting tradition in Germany and is a sign of reconciliation with the animal just gave his life.
@@neronimos2 I like it :)
Showing respect to what you hunt, slaughter and eat does never hurt.
Love me some Latvian Eagle.
Great job guys congratulations on a couple of beautiful mulleys 😊 Amazing scenery Good friends makes for an awesome hunt
If you have never hunted public land, I don't think you can truly experience the challenge of modern hunting. However, there is nothing wrong with hunting private land, and I always jump at the chance.
You summed it up man
Your not lying.. I “try” to hunt public land here in Florida.. not an easy task.
I mean, there’s a little bit wrong with hunting private land, but it’s not like it’s a bad thing. Just not as rewarding or exciting as public. Because usually, you know that there’s stuff there to get on private. You’re paying for the certainty. On public land, you never know until you get there.
Need to finish my Hunter’s Education so I can get out there!
Are you referring to a formal classroom setting and if so , what state are you studying in?????
Yes, we are doing that in Latvia :)))) And it is nice to see you joining us, Janis :)
We have all been there when the shots just don't work out. It happens. We cut up about it but in the end you do your best in hopefully putting the animal down as quickly and humanely as possible. Enjoyed another great production. Thanks for sharing and all the best from down under.
The heart is the first meal of the animals that I hunt
Hunting isn't always clean thank you guys for showing us the real parts of hunting
Steve looks and sounds kinda wierd here.
Right, like he got more necky if you will!
Not Steve its Janis.
And hes right handed all the sudden
@@shanebennett953 no kidding dummy
Janis, it's called the letze bissen (last bite) and it is with one of the 5 native trees of Germany. It has to be broken of the tree and not cut. It is placed with the foliage on the left side of the mouth. The inbesitznahmebruch is placed on the left side over the fatal shot
Il tell my Bavarian mountain hound all about it! Thanks for sharing
My old stomping grounds. Putting the twigs/grass in the deer's mouth is a custom in Eastern Europe as well.
If ya ever have trouble getting deer just hunt with Kieth Warren. All you have to do is put a little corn on your barrel and all those caged in deer will come running to it!
LOL Keith can't find his ass with both hands
Thank you for that. I really enjoyed that video and it makes me count down the days til I can get back out and chase those mulies
Best part of the week when the MeatEaters release new content.
Love the Yani content. He’s always good with the other meat eater guys but he’s so good by himself too!
Yani>Steve
17:18 in Austria we call that "the last bite" i do it with every deer i shoot.
Lezter Bissen
Thank you for this... Time passes by, but it is so nice to see that family traditions always remain.
Last day bucks, opening morning bucks, that absolute best!
This episode reminds me of something Janis said in an episode of Meateater - humans are the only hunting species that puts so much pressure on ourselves to make ethical kills. A wolf or bear kill is certainly worse for the prey animal. But in this episode you could really see the pressure Janis put on himself and the regret/sadness when he wasn't able to follow through.
Yes, we owe the animal a quick and clean kill. And when we human hunters don't deliver that, we should hang our head in shame. That is our #1 job, followed closely by giving thanks to God for the opportunity and his bountiful harvest, and then using all the meat for feeding our family and others. That is the least we can do.
We are the only species that hunts because it’s a choice. A one shot kill is not only humane, it shows a higher level of skill. It’s about respect for our quarry, nature, and ourselves.
@@rodneyalaking8241 this is a bit of an old wive’s tale - for example, ever see a fox or mustelid go through a hen house?
Its a true hunter who apologizes to his prey, congratulations and regards to Spain
Respect for the animal goes a long ways good job! I always say a prayer of thanks over every animal I kill that will nourish my family
Janis’s shot on that buck shows the importance of a broadside shot! That deer was facing away by the look of it
Deer heart just like that is my absolute favorite meal.
Very nice buck! I used to hunt the grand Mesa. Lots of quality bucks then.
I love the respect you show for the animal this is how I hunt also.
Mike Ford is a beast! I’ve hunted with him 3 times over the last 5 years. No better guide to be with in that area.
Janis Putelis vs Sasquatch. Make it happen MeatEater
Love that you gave him his last Meal 🍴 thank you for Givin him the respect ❤️
DUDE!!! 70LBS OF MEAT??!!!🤯 WHOA! That's AWESOME, that's freakin AWESOME!!😵 Plz keep these vidz comin 😁👍(now I gotta wipe the drool off my face from the heart cookin😋)
I love heart fried in garlic butter in iron skillet
Jani, this happened to me on my first antelope. I've never shot over 300 yds, and the outfitter put me on a stud at 375. I was all over the place, had one bad hit in a knee, and then finally put one right through the heart. It happens. Good job sticking with it and getting the job done on a STUD.
Thats a vortex for ya, notorious for losing zero
That's what I like about meat eater. You show the mistakes and missed shots.
*Shot 2*
"What the F*ck"
*Shot 3*
Uh oh
I felt his pain.
After watching what was currently on Netflix and just getting to episode 200 of the podcast. It's nice to get to see some of the old hunts I heard about.
I got my first Muley buck this year as well! south central colorado as well!
Love to go on a mule deer hunt some day with one of these guys. A true sportsman. Watched all the seasons of meat eater. Great hunt.
Misses shot.
‘Shame imma starve tomorrow.’
Bummed out 400 yards under 300 whatever not feeling hitting them migrating not feeling hitting him bedded. Agree good eating all my Mule Deer tasted great.
In Germany they put a twig of spruce (Bruch) in the game's mouth it is a sign of honoring the game and to show respect. If it is a group of hunters they even have a ceremony and blow a special tune on their hunting horns. This is done in many European countries.
tagged for white tail keep bumping 190 mules omfg racks
I think if you live out west you have a 70% chance of being named Cody😂😂. And a 30% chance of being named Clint
I'll be going to Gunnison Colorado November 1st 2021 to hunt mule deer first time..can you guys give me some advice ty
Congrats Yanis that is one stud of a Mule Deer! He'll eat well & look great on the wall! Awesome the respect & thanks you showed for him in death as he will now feed your family!
That was HOOAH!!!
Dead bucks are a bonus. the experience is what I crave!
Good you both got a buck! Thats the perfect ending
You guys are hands down the best hunting, fishing & outdoors show, product & channel out by a long shot. #MeatEaterNation
So excited just found out I got my buck tag today for the fall.
Everything has to happen to a hunter to be a good hunter.
I miss Steve. I want more Steve.
Settle down dude, he is married.
Now that's a dandy!!!! (In my steven rinella voice) good job Jani. Stuff happens brother. You did great.
Happens to all of us. Great buck!
Janis is no Steve, 7 shots for 1 deer.
It’s an old European custom🤭😅
Thank you for the last meal.
14:40 Borris the Blade buck (Snatch 2000 movie)
Great video, one day I hope to actually accomplish one of my bucket list hunts, Colorado mule deer!
Hope I can get a hog like that this year! Good job love the hunts and the people you guys interact with.
The heart gravy and rice looks awesome! A lot of times I'd eat the liver first night, and then do the heart with fried eggs in the morning..... But that dish looked really nice!
So fuckin glad we get to see reality with raw emotion and mistakes included
Public land hunting in CO is definitely no joke
I shot my first Muley last season and also had a bad first shot. Had to walk up and shoot it close as well. I felt really bad since I had 325 yards to walk. My issue was trigger pull from rushing a shot. My wife didn't want to eat the meat from the bad reputation Muley's have but since I'm an excellent cook, she hasn't complained yet!
I just got my notice I got my deer draw. I can't wait! Now I need to find ammo...??? 🦌🤔
Great video!! I appreciated no editing when things don't go perfect true honest hunting. I'm not of fan of hunting Mule Deer in the Rut though, it gives the hunter an unfair advantage. That being said I'm sure wildlife biologists determines the strength of deer in that region.
Yes I would want my hunt to end on that buck he saw
10:30 is how I hunt all of the time in Hunter Call of the Wild lol.
Haha my brother does the same
I missed two different turkeys within the same hour earlier this season!
Janis, I have been doing the same thing by placing forage in the mouths of the animals I have harvested.
It's not about preforming..it's about hunting
Steve or bust!
Thanks for the motivation!
I'm hoping to get my Mule tag any day now..
did you get you tag? CO draw results came out today
I put in for a 6 point tag with 8 points. Now I have 9 points
@@brandinhendrickson2292 I just got the email a few hours ago. 2nd rifle buck tag
@@brandinhendrickson2292 I had no points. I've been doing OTC elk for the past 3 years A in archery and B in rifle. Now I have the Mule tag to go along with my second rifle cow tag. Plus when I'm hunting cows in 2nd rifle all I see are deer lol so fingers crossed 🤞
@@luke-te3sr Good luck. It should be a good hunt being a week later. Hopefully you catch the start of the rut
Is this what late November in Colorado looks like?
Gorgeous buck!
Great show Steve
Janis can you please talk Steven into giving me a job!!! Please!!!
Me too!!!
Good show
Where is Steve?
Need to get you boys runnin Longshot Target Cameras. Would save you a lot of time going back and forth in the mule trying to zero rifles! @meateater
We call it the ''last bite'' in Dutch and also in Germany. to express respect to the animal thats gonna provide food for you and your family.
This is awesome! But where is B-side fishing?!
I just steve, janis, and cal hunts.
The ME crew can only get it done on private land these days.
Any day now, find out if I drew hill ranch elk and deer.🤞
Not kewl i see a lot of my buds rush shots or shoot into cover I don't get why so impatient. I am happy he showed it so I can show my 8 year old.
My first hunt my grandfather took me on was a bear hunt. I was 3 years old. He carried me on his shoulders. They treed a big boar and shot it. It fell and got stuck in a fork about 15 ft up in the tree. I remember standing under the bear looking into its eyes. Blood dripping from it wound hit the tree just above my head. By the time they got back from the truck with a axe to chop the limb off. I was covered with blood. That was in 1966. As I grew up pawpaw taught me to show respect for the animals I took. I too put food in the mouth of an animal I kill and in my head I say a prayer..." Forgive me for my needs are great, yet your sacrifice is even greater!" To show respect is the way of the hunter. Yes we kill what we consume, but with the knowledge that one day it will us who are consumed. When I die my body will be directly buried in the ground. No embalming, no cremation. Let the worms consume my flesh, and the trees to absorb my bones. This is nature's way.
the thing with the twigs is very popular in germany and surrounding countries. it is called "Bruch" which lossely translates to break or broken, because the twigs are broken off. before modern times with phones and radio these Brüche and hunting horn melodies were all hunters had to communicate over distance. when another hunter came along and found your Bruch, he got a message depending on the type of Bruch. they are basically text messages in the old days. and you have different kinds for different messages. its basically a complete dictionary. same goes for different signals on hunting horns.
regarding dead game there are two that are important. the "inbesitznahmebruch" or possession break, which is a stick laid over the shoulder of the dead animal and which shows another hunter that said animal already belongs to somebody. people would use it for instance when they were off to get help dragging the animal out of the woods. kinda like your tags in america.
the other is the "letzter Bissen" or last bite, that janis is practising here. this is a kind of thanksgiving ritual and I appreciate janis doing it. over here you would however catch some flag by overtraditional hunters because not every tree species qualifies to be used this way. there are "bruchgerechte Bäume" or trees that are fair game to use as Bruch. you "can only use" those, even on carnivorous game which never touches a twig of beech. those rules are more and more watered down which is sad and good at the same time. bad because the gesture gets lost when people dont do it anymore (and I fully admit to not do it every time) and good because like I said, people can go overboard with etiquette and tradition and ruin a nice moment of introverted contemplation by bitching about you using a piece of brush or a handfull of wheat in summer.
I think the gesture is what matters and hence I tip my head mister Putelis!
Love these Jani hunts!
Grits and guts hunt. Love this channel and hate canned hunts. We do know the difference believe me.
stick stuck in the stock at 13:31, did it "un-float the barrel perhaps?
Steve, when you heading back to New Zealand? You haven't finished yet my friend
I wish Steve was a part of this
