Get ready for the best thing ever done on the blood-soaked story of the white-tailed deer skin trade of the 1700s.

It's meat-eaters American history, The Longhunters, 1761 to 1775.

Narrated by me, Clay Newcombe, and my good friend Stephen Ronella,

this audio book is the first installment in Meat Eater's American History series.

This is big.

It's a wild tale about a fascinating group of Back Woodsman

and a forgotten trade in the deer skins of North America's favorite big game animal.

Featuring the story of Daniel Boone, the long hunters, and the Native Americans that were

involved in the deer skin trade.

This era is what became the foundation of American deer hunting

and we have compiled a never before compiled amount of data.

And we've researched stuff that's never been researched before.

I'm serious, this is groundbreaking stuff,

and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. It's out on January 9th, but you can pre-order it now wherever

audio books are sold. That's Meateaters American History, The Longhunters, 17 71 to 1775, available for pre-order now.

Welcome to this country life. I'm your host Brent Reeves. From coon hunting, the trot lining, and just general country living, I want you to stay a while as I share my stories and country skills that will help you beat the system. This country life is proudly presented as part of Meat Eater's podcast network, bringing you the best outdoor podcast the Airways

have to offer. All right, friends, pull you up a chair or drop that tailgate.

I think I got a thing or two to teach you.

Make and do with what you have.

In the grand scheme of things, grand things are grand, newer, bigger, better and more. Who has

the most things wins, right? Or do they? That's my best dude from Dateline imitation. But my question is this. Is newer, bigger, and better, always the best?

Well, it depends on the situation. I'm going to talk about it this week, butims and I've heard him tell it several times and it made me laugh every time he did.
