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.

The Black Bear Banana. I just got home from the third annual Black Bear Bonanza hosted by the Arkansas chapter of backcountry hunters and anglers.

I had the pleasure of visiting with old friends and making new ones.

I want to tell you all about it, but first I'm going to tell you a story.

The long and wide and road that brought me in front of this microphone was a couple decades old

when my old pal Clabo Nukem and I traveled to Saskatchewan in 2017. He needed a cameraman and his look would have it.

I needed a free trip to Canada. What a coincidence. That trip seven years ago was one of the things that got a lot of industry eyes looking at my old

partner. Now that and his incredible foundation of work in print and broadcast media but a viral

video never hurts unless you're robbing a liquor store or filling fish full of

trot line weights but that video you know the video the one where the bear pokes his nose in our makeshift blind and his nose touches Clay's arrow, that one.

If you hadn't seen it, I applaud your ability to fly under the radar because people send it to me all the time.
