Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Stryve Foods, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended, and including any subsequent registration statement on Form S-1 filed pursuant to Rule 462(b), the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement of (i) 2,496,934 shares (the “Common Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”); (ii) 7,797,184 shares of Common Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) and (iii) 10,294,118 shares of Common Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of warrants (the “Non Pre-Funded Warrants,” and collectively with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Non Pre-Funded Warrant Shares,” and collectively with the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrant Shares and Common Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Shares.”

In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of (i) the First Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as in effect on the date hereof; (ii) the Bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof; (iii) the Registration Statement; (iv) the prospectus contained within the Registration Statement; and (v) such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, and have made inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all manual and electronic signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.
