Meat Eater season 10 part 2 episode 3 sees Steven Rinella hunt wild turkeys with his old friend Robert Abernethy.
Steven said that he met Robert years ago when they were hunting turkey out in Oregon’s Hells Canyon.
He said: “We’ve been buddies for years and have done some hunting together but now they’re hunting on his home turf.”
The duo headed to a swamp to hunt wild turkeys during the episode and after getting one turkey each, Robert said: “I tell you what, this swamp is amazing, that is probably one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The most scenic, the most beautiful, calling three long-beards in this swamp.“
Robert is an expert when it comes to turkeys
Speaking of Robert’s expertise, Steven said that he’s a “foremost expert when it comes to wild turkeys“.
Robert adds that it’s not just hunting turkeys that Robert is good at, though, but he knows all about the bird’s biology and natural history, too.
It also appears, from one of Steven’s Twitter posts that he is good at hunting other animals, too.
