Meat Eater

Adventures from the Life of an American Hunter

By: Steven Rinella

Narrated by: Steven Rinella

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and host of Netflix’s MeatEater comes “a unique and valuable alternate view of where our food comes from” (Anthony Bourdain).

“Revelatory . . . With every chapter, you get a history lesson, a hunting lesson, a nature lesson, and a cooking lesson. . . . Meat Eater offers an overabundance to savor.”—The New York Times Book Review

Meat Eater chronicles Steven Rinella’s lifelong relationship with nature and hunting through the lens of ten hunts, beginning when he was an aspiring mountain man at age ten and ending as a thirty-seven-year-old Brooklyn father who hunts in the remotest corners of North America. He tells of having a struggling career as a fur trapper just as fur prices were falling; of a dalliance with catch-and-release steelhead fishing; of canoeing in the Missouri Breaks in search of mule deer just as the Missouri River was freezing up one November; and of hunting the elusive Dall sheep in the glaciated mountains of Alaska.

A thrilling storyteller, Rinella grapples with themes such as the role of the hunter in shaping America, the vanishing frontier, the ethics of killing, and the disappearance of the hunter himself as consumers lose their connection with the way their food finds its way to their tables. The result is a loving portrait of a way of life that is part of who we are—as humans and as Americans.

Awesome

Great book by one of America’s greatest storytellers. I have enjoyed every one of your books so far. Can’t wait for the next..

Steve doesn’t disappoint with his stories

Great read. Steve is excellent story teller. Listening to Steve read this book all the way to the end will only leave you wanting more stories.

Great narrative of a primal reality

Loved the messaging behind the narrative. Steve’s experience resonates so much with our reality where so many have lost the essence of where we truly come from and we must conserve for generations to come.

Great

Great story and has inspired me to become a hunter thank you Steven Rinella a

Well done

I’ve listened to or watched almost everything Steve has put out into the world. I just love listening to the stories but I also love seeing the world through his eyes. He’s a wonderful story teller, but above all an amazing outdoors man, hunter, husband, friend and father. Steve is what a lot of men should strive to be . Well done. Loved it !!
