Welcome to this country life. I'm your host, Brent Reeves.

From coon hunting to trotlining and just general country living, I want you to stay a while

as I share my experiences and life lessons.

This country life is presented by Case Knives on Meat Eat Eater's Podcast Network, bringing you the best outdoor podcast that airways have to offer.

All right, friends, grab a chair or drop that tailgate.

I've got some stories to share.

Welcome to this country life podcast.

This one's kind of different.

You can see me on here and you can see my guest on here today. We're doing an audio and a video version of this, and I am at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas.

I'm talking with my friend, Dr. Drew Ricketts.

Drew is with the Extension Wildlife Specialist here, or he is an extension wildlife specialist here,

and he works in the horticulture and natural resources department here and as a professor.

Drew, thank you for being here.

Oh, absolutely.

Thanks for having me on your show, Brent.

This is a pretty big honor for me.

Well, you know, we met, I guess, a month ago, and we were decoy dog hunting with

my friend, Jeff Ryder, who you met on that hunt.

And that is a video that will come out sometime in 2026 and decoy dogs give a brief

history that folks aren't familiar with it or maybe i did an episode on this a few several

months back about decoy dog hunting and hunting with jeff but I tried to explain how it all works, which

is the interaction between two different canines is pretty cool.
