- Steven Rinella and his friend Ronny Boehme drive into the mountains of southwest Montana to hunt the high ridge tops for dusky grouse. Ronny’s Bracco Italiano hunting dogs have been bred and trained for this work, but can Ronny handle the altitude?

Ronnie is like an old friend I’ve never met. Very cool guy and relatable in many ways.
was just about to write a comment like this and yours was the first i laid eyes on. thanks for takin care of it for me
👍🏼💯
Does he look like Joe rogan with hair to you??
@@Adamleighjones for sure bro your eyes are still working bucko 👌🏽😂👍🏽
Those heavy farts tho...
"I'm so excited, I shit myself." -How I feel every time a new episode is posted.
Haha me too
On this episode: Steve tries to kill a flatlander
DesertDwellers essentially...yes
LOL, well played.
Is this what the mountain dwellers call us? 😂
@@adrianvelez4147 Yes. Other synonyms include: little-lungers, jelly-leggers, & achy-anklers.
I use to get called that when I moved to Montana, funny thing is, it really wasn't any diffrent from hiking in the blueridge to me, just rockier and higher altitude, at times. But ironically I met alot of montanaens that couldn't keep up with me.
I love the fact that he goes hunting with the guy that gave him a job through college in construction. You got a love the relationship between those two guys. Being a guy in construction I can relate to all of this.
Being a guy who went to college, earned his way through by working and scholarship, currently in construction hiring college kids myself ... I can relate to it as well : )
"Cleans up nice!" A true dog person.
He hosts "The Hunting Dog" podcast, if you're into podcasts
@@muddywaterfishing yo thanks so much 🙏🙏
As an avid upland and dog guy, this was without a doubt my most favorite episode you have ever put out. I'd give a weeks pay to hunt with Ronnie. I am putting this on my bucket list of bird hunts.
Agreed. As a Minnesotan roughed grouse hunter, blue grouse out west is on the bucket list!
If you want a location in Colorado to get on them, let me know. We took several with bow and arrow while on a September elk hunt. Great eating bird, not difficult to take.
Do you have a gps dog collar? I'm looking for some recommendations!
My daughter's love the Virginia dove episode with Ronnie. Taking them dove hunting this weekend
It's a good thing this came out today and not tomorrow. I'm getting hitched and me taking 20 minutes out of the honeymoon to watch this wouldn't play well.
Dude, you ought to be able to squeeze 20 minutes of time to yourself even on a honeymoon. If you can’t get 20 minutes to yourself, how will you ever get to hunt? Set the standard early that you need time to yourself.
@@arthritisankle I was making a little joke. I found one who likes to keep a full freezer and enjoys back packing more than I do 😉
@@nickm8940 lol
@@nickm8940 you. . .dang you're lucky
@@nickm8940 Wow, hang on to her she's a keeper. Side Note - Marriage can be difficult at times, good luck.
Also, Ron with an old 7.3 makes me feel better about owning one. They have a soft spot in my heart, and him having one makes it a little cooler. Lol
Yessir. I’ve got a 97 that I’ll never part with. Good ol horse.
9:53 “I’m so excited I shat myself” I am DYING from laughter.
11:27 Hahaha
Ronnie, neat double with a fine looking SxS. Love the truck also.
I want an episode on ronnie's sxs lol
Hell yeah, I want a 16 gauge side by side still. Been on the look out for something for years.
Ronnie is awesome. This is one of my all time favorite episodes thru the whole series.
“Let’s go get a beer” seems well deserved.
Typical flatlander: whoof that was a long walk. Let's get a beer. I'm from WI, that would have been my reaction too, Ronny.
This guy looks like Joe Rogans dad
I was thinking he looked like Joe rogan aswell lol
Was thinking the same thing the whole ep
You beat me to it
First thing I thought first comment I read
thinking same thing
Get the man some trekking poles!
You can't on a grouse hunt.
I loved this episode. It reminds me of my first pheasant hunt with my dad in SW Kansas. What a big deal it was to finally get to go with Dad. Some of the best memories of my life.
Ronnie needs to be on every episode! He's a character lol love his style and attitude.
grouse hunt is by far my favorite hunt mainly because of my dad that bring me with him since im 5 years old .. im 33 and he just got 70 now and we still go together each season
Awesome! One of my favorite birds to hunt, and thankfully hugely underrepresented in the hunting media. Not many folks are willing to put in the work it sometimes takes to get into them.
That double was seriously impressive. Also. Ron earned those. Lol
When the two grouse flew into each other and then bounced off and flew in two separate directions. Heck of a shot for sure.
Those Bracco Italiano dogs are gorgeous.
Dude omfg I love that Steve is always making Ron walk and hike more than he wants to.
The farting! 😂 If you can’t let er rip in the woods and laugh about it, are you even a hunter? Love this show!
This guy's content is so good, he could make a hunting show, have an episode about hunting grouse, and I would watch it!
His ability to narrate his own material is simply amazing while staying true to its content and keeping his viewers glued 👍🏽
@@chocolingo7423 you do know
Never mind
He has a show called meat eater. It’s a great show. I love it. You should look it up. He has his show on this RUclips channel. Look through his videos and watch them all. He’s added fishing series’ called “das boat” and “fur hat ice tour.” Also check out his “Back 40” series. They are all great. His narrating is definitely awesome and I love his perspective on hunting because it gave me a tangible explanation for how I feel about hunting. He was able to get me to explain and understand how I felt about hunting and feeding ones body and soul.
they need more grouse/pheasant episodes in my opinion. but thats just cuz i just got into hunting and thats what im going for atm lol.
Ill have you know....... So would I!
The fellowship, memories and good times hunting brings to us hunters. In a time like today I wish everyone could get a taste of it. Might just change the world
More hunters should have this attitude, look to include not exclude and maybe the world would understand why hunters hunt for their food. God bless brother.
I will bring the ring to Mordor!
Oh sorry, wrong fellowship.
@Matias D.C Awe, looks like someone is a Vegan lol.
@@rhelferstay impossible food running through those veins
You can tell they’re good friends. You don’t just take anyone on a random harebrained hunt.
Nothing like a couple days in the woods with a good friend
Hears fart...thinks it was just them walking then Ronnie said I’m so excited I shit myself 😂 I feel him on that
Steve makes me want to hunt again.. Its been a few years.
Ronnie eating in his dog plate is a bad ass move man 😂best....hardcore hunters ... Can adopt to any situation... Cool 👍
Ronnie’s brave to let one fly out in the bush.😂
MeatEater needs to team up with Gordon Ramsay for a backcountry gourmet wildgame meal
That's actually an amazing idea
This comment is underrated af
He's got some episodes not sure what show but it's on RUclips where he kills and Cooks
The vegans love Steven Rinella 😂
Ramsay is too stuck up for this.
Just started harvesting grouse during my hunts this year. Can't believe I've been missing out all these years. They are delicious.
A morning cigar with his coffee… a man of culture.
watching Meat Eater makes my soul happy
Being from MN I completely understand how Ronny feels. We go elk hunting in CO every year and the elevation is an absolute killer.
Duskeys like an escape route. They are very often on the edge of a hill side or cliff they can use to elude predators. You'll also find them near water sources.
Can't imagine a better way to spend a day...beautiful scenery, good friend, dogs and birds!
I love hunting dusky grouse with my German shorthairs here in Wyoming. I look for young forest and lots of open edges. Better in Sept. They start moving up into high mature forest later in October. I put bells on my dogs because bears in good bird habitat. Nice looking Braccos
This was a good one, Ronnie is a keeper.
Awesome video !! Cant believe he got that double. Hell of a shot.
Im just happy those puppers are happy.
For some reason my favorite part is, “and the grouse is the right texture for it… there’s a cow moose standin there!”
Good to see Ron's a travelling man. You keep good company Steve. Love the show.
Thanks to Steve I went on my first scouting trip on VA National forest land 3 days ago and I'm going back for a 3 day archery whitetail hunt and taking my .22 roger for small game after christmas. It's awesome being up in the mountains of N.America
Little tip.....use sub sonic rounds in your .22lr so you don't blow out the whitetail. Good luck!!
_“Who’s a good booyyy?!”_
Ronny seems like a really fun guy. Plus I love the old school green Gatorade bottle he's got, reminds me of playing HS Football.
Love to see the bracco getting some attention. Awesome dogs wouldnt trade mine for all the money in the world
WOW, how much fun was that, awesome country, great friends, dogs, double barrels, birds and food and drinks.
Omg i can't believe an Italian braco love it . I'm 52 and I grew up hunting with my dad who had a braco before I was even born . She was the best bird hunting dog that existed in Chile in the early 70s . My dad later got a Brittany spaniel here in the US. Well, let's just say not even close she even retrieved ducks !
Ronny is my favourite guest syeve has had and hes a true dog owner how do i know when you need a bowl grab a hand full of weeds and whipe out your dohs water bowl and use it tjats a true dog owner love this guy
No way! I thought you guys were done after season 2! Thanks so much for the great content!
have you watched the seasons on netflix? they have 5-9 on there i believe
@@anthonydavid8824 I have, which is why I'm so excited for season 1-3 content because it isn't there.
@@anthonydavid8824 it’s only 7-9, I believe.
@@arthritisankle really? I might have been confusing this show with another lol.
@@anthonydavid8824 no you’re right it was 5-9 but they removed 5 & 6 recently
My wife and I love your show. I would never watch anybody else upland bird hunt but your commentary and the way you dive into every hunt like it might be your last no matter what the game is just awesome. Love it man have watched every episode of last 2 seasons very excited to see season 3!!!!!
Montana Mountain grouse, Ruffed grouse, Dusky grouse, Blue grouse, and Suddy grouse? I just call them yummy.
Goes hunting with Steve, has to eat out of a dog bowl... Good Times!!
Seen 2 grouse in the last 20 min. I love living in British Columbia.
Twenty one point two zero minutes of enjoyment. Thanks for taking me along and letting me enjoy a meal as well. Thanks to Ron and your team for producing these videos. Gregg from Graham, TX.
I could watch Steve hunt every day for the rest of my life
That's a buddy and long time friend right there . Appreciate y'all for sharing
“Some animals guts smell worst than others” 11:32 “what you think of that?”
LMAO
Ain't nothing like a good dog.
I want to see the Himalayan Snow Cock hunt now. One of the most masochistic hunts I have ever done. Only a couple mountain ranges in Nevada where they exist in North America as far as I know.
Ronnie got them old man farts lol 😂 the old man I use to work with was like that lol
Kudos to the friend. It looks like his hip and knee are toast, but he powers through. Too bad the young guy won't appreciate this until he's in the same boat one day -- the circle of life
i love Ronny`s attitude at the end of first trip out.
"well if you look at it this way" and smiles and shit.
Watching your videos makes me wanna start hiking again, not as pro with a rifle or bow but Nature is a wonderful thing.
I am the same way when it come to hunting. It’s all about being outside in a place you enjoy and harvesting something is always a bonus and when I have dogs that’s the one thing I will want to push more to harvest
Ronnie does seem like a good dude, you keep those ppl close.
You get to experience some of the most beautiful places my hats off to you sir
I always bring a couple small game points during archery elk in Montana ~ so many times I've come back with a couple if not a limit of grouse...definitely makes up for not seeing elk some days!
I pack a suppressed .22 pistol so I’m not flinging pricey arrows into rocks or trees. But yes, getting a couple birds is way better than nothing.
@@willroland7153 I just bought a suppressor for that reason.
Beretta m9 in 22lr. You can buy a threaded barrel for $80 15rnds and its pretty damm accurate, i started with a slincer co sparrow, and now use a thunderbeast 22 takedown. Its smaller and wayyyy easier to clean. Aquila standard velocity is the ticket, cheap and quiet. Grouse guts stink. If your going to get a few of them its worth saving the qizzard and legs .
When I went hunting in Montana, my buddy meets me after dark telling me about this bird that wouldn’t leave him alone and kept attacking his boots. He could have just grabbed it if he knew it was in season.
@@arthritisankle had more than a few that I stepped on before they jumped~
gotta love enjoying the hunt with the dogs along for the ride just happy to retrieve the kill !
Ronnie is my favorite guy that hunts with Steve and that's saying alot because I'm a huge Joe Rogan fan
What a dream. I would love to have an adventure like that. Thanks for sharing.
that is the best thumbnail I have ever seen. that dog has the best face ever lol.
I love how Steve always cooks the wild game at the end of the video. This guy can really cook! I killed a rough grouse one time and pan fried it, it was the toughest thing I've ever tried to eat and I've never had the desire to kill another one. LOL
Best response to an unexpected fart: 9:50
EVER.
So crazy to think we have blue grouse all over utah especially up in strawberry
Eating Grouse Fettuccine out of a Dog Bowl. Added to my Bucket List.
"I'm so excited I shit myself" - Ronny Bracco after rippin a good one
Couldn't be a greater story appreciate y'all
I had a Blue Mtn Grouse living in my side yard last winter. It was over 8 lbs...should have harvested. So big!
These birds look a lot like some birds I saw hiking up Longs Peak in Colorado. Just past the timberline hiking through a rock field. Looked off to the side of the trail and there they were, two feet away from me just sitting in the rocks. Three of them.
They didn’t strike me as particularly intelligent birds. They sure didn’t seem to care that I’d damn near tripped over them.
Great Pups
11:30😂
"What do you think of that?"
With buddies like that,who needs family.🤗🤗🤗🤗
I don't bird hunt. But I was confused when Ronnie waited for the grouse to take off before he shot them both. Are you not allowed to shoot while the birds are grounded?
He totally could have but some guys see it as not being sportsmanlike. Like shooting a dove off a power line or shooting a duck after it landed in the water. It’s legal but a lot of guys don’t do it.
@@arthritisankle Cool. Thanks for explaining. I always felt wrong shooting a bedded dear.
Holy shit nice double! I love the “he’s trying to kill me” statement 🤭😂👏 you tried Steven haha
5:05 "where to lewis?" LMAO.
i love the Bracco Italiano,
have one too, straight from Genova, italy:
best dogs ever. hard working, loyal but also amazing natural instincts (either as a hound or a pointer) trained mine on blood
- very kid friendly
We get em right at the treeline in BC Canada. We would drive to the top of a mountain and hunt the treelines. Pro tip use a foam dog frisbee to get a blue grouse to flush from under a tree flushing in a direction ya can predict. I put a foam frisbee in my game bag and never have allowed my dogs to even see a frisbee and discourage playing with one. I train em to chase birds. They seem to like that folks
Steve hiking this 55 year old guy to death and laughing about it...LOL. this old guy has actually worked his ass off his entire life, 5-6 days a week. Ruined his knees and hips. And Steve is younger and healthy. And he walks him up there on the mountain..LOL. Thanks Buddy...
Ronnie said let’s go get a beer and Steve popped off that tailgate like he hadn’t ever heard a better idea!
"I'm so excited i shit myself" 🤣🤣
More Ronny, he is hilarious.
We used to call them Pine Hens and I had my pistol in a shoulder holster especially for them when hunting deer in south east Idaho....best camp meat fried chicken I ever ate
Same, we would shoot the lowest one in the tree and work our way up shooting them in the head. If you start at the bottom and work up most of the time they will not spook from the gun shot.
that's why lots of folks call em fool hens..gotta love em
Some things stinks more.
I am one of them. Genius 😂
Ronny looks like a mix between Robert DeNiro and Joe Rogan
When I grow up I want to be Ronnie lol. Who else carries a mid 90s Gatorade bottle in his back whilst grouse hunting lol
Im so happy he said "Canada, for grouse" when listing their great hunts lol
Don’t want to get too specific and give away a good hunting spot.
@@silentlandthousandvoices Canada eh? was it near the big tree by Edmonton?
@@silentlandthousandvoices no seriously though, Im just happy that Steve has hunted Canada and thinks of it to be a great one too
I love Ronnie man is a treasure
Love this one. That said, love them all. Reminds me of going out trapping rabbits on my horse and cart at Narromine as a kid. Back when you could carry a rifle in Australia.
