Summary

It's always a treat for the blind hog when he finds an acorn. Brent and his brother Tim paddled into a file of them, except the nuts were in the boat and the fish were in the net. The Reaves brothers are back on the river and lucky to still have both of their left arms. Hear that story and more on this episode of MeatEater's This Country Life podcast.

0:00.0	Welcome to this country life. I'm your host Brent Reeves. From Coon hunting the
0:10.8	trot lining and just general country living, I want you to stay a while
0:15.2	as I share my stories and the country skills that will help you beat the system.
0:20.0	This country life is proudly presented as part of Meat Eater's Podcast Network,
0:24.9	bringing you the best outdoor podcast the Airways have to offer.
0:29.1	All right, friends, pull you up a chair or drop that tailgate.
0:32.8	I think I got a thing or two to teach you.

0:59.0	episode I promise you we were more surprised in the fish we caught. I'm going to tell you all about it,
1:06.0	but first I'm going to be surprised that this one is about my brother Tim and me.
1:21.0	It's a short one, but relevant, just the same. Now I've been kind of sitting on

1:31.0	narrative or go along with any podcast subject matter other than maybe if I did an episode dedicated completely to dumb things we have done.
1:42.0	Anyway, this happened over 30 years ago and at the time I lived a mile and a
1:47.2	half from where my brother still lives. We did everything together. All the time he was either at my house or I was at his house, or we were together at the country store listening to the old folks talk, or down at dad's house or over at his in-law's house who looked at me as if I was just an extra family
2:05.2	member.
2:06.2	We were all close.
2:08.1	None of that has anything to do with this story other than me illustrating the fact that we lived close together.
2:15.2	And by lived close together I mean in totality.
