Summary

Written by a model from the transcript; not yet reviewed.

This episode of MeatEater Trivia, hosted by Spencer Newarth, features contestants Brody, Randall, Seth, Reva, Alyssa, and Dane competing across ten rounds of questions covering hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking. Before the game, the crew answers a mailbag question about whether a first-time deer hunter should take a shot at a trophy buck on his father-in-law's land, advising him to simply talk to the landowner first. Throughout the game show, the contestants tackle questions ranging from world record fish and black-tailed deer population states to Pulitzer Prize-winning environmental journalism and outdoor gear terminology.

As the rounds progress, Randall takes an early lead while other contestants battle it out with varying degrees of movie trivia knowledge and outdoor terminology. Highlights include discussions on hybrid fish species, slow cooker brand names, and the R3 initiative for outdoor participation. In the final round, Randall secures the victory with nine correct points by correctly identifying the code for the northern pintail, choosing to direct his $500 conservation prize to the Mobile Bay Keepers.
