In this episode of Meat Eater Trivia, host Spencer Newharth leads a lively 10-round quiz show featuring guests Brody, Nate, John, Marge, Logan, and Maxwell, with Phil making a guest appearance. The game focuses on four Meat Eater verticals: hunting, fishing, conservation, and cooking, with a $500 donation to a conservation group going to the winner. The episode kicks off with a fundraising appeal for SaveTuckertown.org, aiming to preserve 4,000 acres of public land in North Carolina with $200,000 in matching funds from MeatEater and OnX. The trivia questions range from identifying the best wood for smoking fish (alder) to the most produced shotgun in history (Mossberg 500), the invasive Eurasian collared dove, and the meaning of 'hand' as a unit of horse measurement. A highlight is the final question about boating accidents, where May ranks fourth, surprising many. Brody wins with nine correct answers, but second-place Nate chooses the recipient: The Station Foundation, a nonprofit supporting military veterans through hunting programs. The episode blends humor, camaraderie, and conservation advocacy, ending with a promotional tease for the true crime podcast Blood Trails.
