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.

Father's Day.

Being a father is the best job I've ever had. I started out as a cheering tennis dad and then a football dad and now I'm in my dance dad era. simple I drive a clap and I pay for things also I tell my kids and my grandkids stories

saucequatch. Back in 2014 my best friend, my best friend since grade school, Clay Ray, the man with two first names,

and I decided to venture north for our first out-of-state turkey hunt.

At the time, we were both in our early 20s

and finally making a decent enough wage

to try our hand-hunting

and other areas besides our stalking grounds

of Northwest Louisiana.
