Brents got stories about kids scattered all over the woods coon hunting without lights, and another one about taking his son to the doctor caused by a wasp sting that would make a grown man cry. There’s lots of good stuff in this one including a school program that kids of every grade can take advantage of and Brent will tell you what it is and how to get it. It’s Part 2 of “Kids and Outdoors” on Meateater’s This Country Life podcast.

It won't be long before family vacations and interactions with nature increase. Schools are out for most, but for some the real education in the outdoor classroom begins. The temptation of getting that perfect profile picture with a seemingly docile bison can turn a vacation into tragedy. It can happen quicker than you can say, "Where'd Frank go, and why is that buffalo standing by his shoes?" It's "Messing With Critters" this week on MeatEater's This Country Life podcast.

Carney.  Additional interviews with local resident Scott Place and a special appearance by former President of the United States, Bill Clinton.

Ep. 214: Gillett Coon Supper

You knew it was coming. After two consecutive weeks of bagging turkeys like he's picking peas, the mighty hunter has stumbled. That he encountered turbulence might be a more fitting description. Brent's tales of woe aren't confined to turkey hunting either, but you probably knew that already. It's time for some humble pie on this week's episode of MeatEater's "This Country Life" podcast.
