Customer Reviews
Review from Alberta
As a new hunter with only a couple years in the game, Remi’s tips were invaluable and helped me to have a successful year. Unfortunately, it sounds like Remi is moving on and I will most likely pass on future episodes. Big loss for the meat eater crew.
Sucks
Phelps sucks
Five stars for Remi- 1 star for meateater
Remi seems like the most legit hunter Rinella has ever worked with. Now he’s gotten rid of him so meateater can sell more crap (ie game calls, etc). It seems like Rinella has turned meateater into the hunting version of A Price Is Right, with Rinella as the far less likeable version of Bob Barker.
Good luck to you Remi- Enjoyed the show while you were on it!
