5 min readGame On, Suckers! MeatEater Trivia CCXXVIII
The MeatEater Trivia episode opens with a practical question from a soon-to-be father named Jefferson, who wants to know how to balance hunting and fishing with a newborn and full-time work. The panel—Corey, Seth, and Omar—offers real, unvarnished advice drawn from their own recent experiences. Corey, whose son is now eight, describes guiding nine weeks of hunts when his child was six to nine months old. "My wife's a saint," he says, and his advice boils down to keeping mom happy, sanitizing breast pumps, cleaning the house, and bringing the kid along when weather permits. Seth, whose child is four and a half months old, admits his wife has let him get away with more than he should. He notes that his fishing buddies all have young kids, and their wives are friends, so family trips become group outings where the wives hang out while the men fish. Omar, at seven months of fatherhood, emphasizes advance planning: he uses a shared Google calendar and communicates his Alaska caribou hunt and September trips months ahead. "Baby's gonna be fine," he says. "Go on, get some meat. You're providing too." The advice is consistent: communicate, help when you're home, build a support network for your partner, and if you have the means, fly in a grandparent to help while you're gone.
