Welcome to this country life. I'm your host Brent Reeves. From Coon hunting to

trot lining and just general country living, I want you to stay a while

as I share my stories and the 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.

When it all comes together.

Seldom do things work out just the way you want them to and having them continue to

stack up at every turn is almost unheard of, at least in my case.

Opening a week of turkey season in Missouri 2024 would prove to be one of those rare occasions.

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

I asked and boy did y'all answer my partner in Crime Arriva Hansen who edits and

publishes this podcast every week and I have gotten a great response from folks

telling their own stories to be considered for sharing here.

I'm going to tell one today just so y'all know I wasn't kidding about doing it.

Also, before we get started, congratulations to Mike Davidson up there in

Connersville, Indiana, who was getting a case many Trapper pocket knife from my

personal collection.

Mike was the first person to submit the Google Maps photo of me and Tim in Kansas back in 2014 that I challenged folks to find in last week's podcast. Now Mike had

just enough time to listen to it after it was published before he found the

picture and sent in a screenshot.
