“Fans of outdoor lifestyle television know Steven Rinella and MeatEater,” Outdoor Sportsman Group President and CEO Jim Liberatore said. “Having MeatEater seen on all four of our North American Outdoor Sportsman Group Networks (Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel, Sportsman Channel Canada and World Fishing Network), as well as MOTV, is as big as it gets. We couldn’t be happier to continue our relationship with Steven and his team. We look forward to many more years of collaboration.”

Rinella, who grew up hunting, fishing and trapping in the Midwest’s great outdoors, always viewed the world through the eyes of an ancestral hunter/gatherer. Inspired by early man’s skill, ingenuity and sheer determination to survive and thrive under challenging circumstances, Rinella has made his life’s work to cultivate those same qualities – and encourage others to do the same – while always being mindful of conservation principles and practices.

In MeatEater, Rinella explores various hunting techniques, tracks and pursues prey, and procures and cooks his harvest. No matter what part of the country Rinella is hunting, he leverages his back-country skills by challenging himself at every turn and providing nail-biting adventure along the way.
