Any way to cover / discuss the Creeks that went to FL and fought for US? I'm thinking of Billy Bowlegs and what happened to their families back in AL in contrast to the deal with US govt
the goats WILL be there!
I'd somehow missed this episode about ken's reward. after listening to the render where it was mentioned, I went back, downloaded it again, and registered paying much closer attention. Loved it. This country life is by far my favourite podcast, and I look forward to it coming out every Friday.
don't get what is the big deal. Solidly half of the GWoT veterans that I know have refused to wear underwear (due to chaffing from body salt + environmental sand so fine called "moon dust"). I haven't worn any since 2006 myself. A little hygiene goes a long way if ya catch my drift... Puked or not (well played Clay!) under roos don't matter but fresh socks do! choose accordingly.
Hello I was engaged to suspect #1 at the time of this raid. The NWTF had a video that they played on TV about the operation red bud. I had a vcr tape but I have no idea where it is after all of these years. I seen Claude this past weekend and he told me about his Podcast with you. It brought back a lot of memories.
Super pretentious. Not sure why this guy is part of meateatertv
i would love to buy the book poachers were my prey, with rt stewart's signature. would you be able to do that?
Bear Grease is the best digital media in the Meat eater line up by far

Bear Grease is a great show, you get deeper into some thinking mans subjects
This is in my top 5 podcasts.
I love this podcast and it is the sole reason I still connect with MeatEater
great podcast my only gripe is that the randomly placed background music is a bit overbearing and distracting at times.
love the podcast. great to listen to at work when I'm driving. very informative. made be by book about Daniel boone
awesome podcast
The only thing Clay got right about the story from Campfire stories was that there was a Game Warden and that there was a mud puddle. That was it! Love this Podcast!
Clay Newcomb is an excellent podcast host not.only are his podcasts educational and informative but also a joy to listen too.
