On the first episode of The Hunting Collective, I\\u2019m joined by the great Steven Rinella. You probably already know him by now, whether it\\u2019s as an author, public speaker, host of MeatEater TV or the MeatEater podcast. No matter how you\\u2019ve discovered his work, there\\u2019s no doubt that you\\u2019ve benefitted from Rinella\\u2019s take on hunting.

I first met Rinella in 2011 on the heels of the debut of his Travel Channel show The Wild Within. Back then, his name was fresh, and his approach to presenting hunting to the mainstream was even more so. His pragmatic style centered on a cultural and historical exploration of wild animals, the land they inhabit, and a keen sense of who we are as hunters. The years that followed built Rinella\\u2019s presence in the hunting world and turned him into something more: a simple but authoritative voice that both speaks clearly to hunters and rings true to even the most ardent skeptics. That\\u2019s why he\\u2019s the perfect first guest for this podcast. I hope The Hunting Collective can mirror Rinella\\u2019s path. So join Steve and I on a glassing tit in Sonora, Mexico for an in-hunt conversation about life, hunting and our values in both.
