Sportsman Channel’s “MeatEater” Concludes Two-Part Hunt for Alaska Sooty Grouse Thursday, September 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT
DENVER (Ammoland.com) – In the first installment of a two-part special, viewers witnessed Steven Rinella, host of Sportsman Channel’s MeatEater, attempt to harvest the elusive Alaska Sooty grouse. This week, Rinella will take what he’s learned from his previous hunt and continue to hone his skills. He will join a long-time Alaska resident and grouse hunter who he hopes will impart the skills necessary to consistently succeed. Tune in to MeatEater, Thursday, September 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT exclusively on Sportsman Channel.
Last week, it took Rinella nearly four days to spot a Sooty grouse among the dense treetops. After the challenging hunt, he realized he had to hone his skills in order to have a better shot at success the next time around. This week, Rinella joins forces with Barb, an expert grouse hunter. She invites Rinella on an April grouse hunt to share her hunting skills and passion for the outdoors. A hunt that took Rinella four days, takes Barb less than a day. Rinella discovers that with Barb’s years of experience and guidance, he will learn to adapt and his perspective on the hunt will completely change.
“I had success hunting grouse solo, but I knew I had a lot more to learn if I wanted to improve and have better odds at success in the future,” said Rinella. “Barb has spent more time in the wild looking for these birds than anyone else, so I knew with her help I’d be able to look at the hunt from a new, more successful, perspective. There is no substitute for hunting local knowledge.”
