Ep. 436: This Country Life - Knives, Shotguns, and Bears. Oh My!

from Bear Grease · host MeatEater

Brent's first encounter with a bear happened many years ago on a hunt with his dad and a longtime family friend. It is a favorite memory involving an animal to which he would form stronger ties as he got older. The annual celebration of black bears has also introduced Brent to a large number of people he now counts as family. He's sharing that first experience with his father and a special project that spawned from the annual Black Bear Bonanza in Arkansas.  Thank you to our sponsors, Case Knives and Stor-Mor.
