Clay and Brent are such a great addition to the meateater crew. I love to see the beautiful state of Arkansas represented. There is no school like the old school.

Talking bout old school: You guys are going to think I am lying, but from my ages of 12-18 (1976-1983), I had a Feist dog would "still hunt" squirrel. She would follow me to the woods. When I would sit down, she would go hunt about a 250-yard circle around me. If she treed, I would go to her and make the kill. If she didn't tree, she would come and sit beside me until we moved a little further into the woods. I killed more squirrels and walked less distance than with ANY squirrel dog than I ever hunted with. I trained her from a pup and never had puppies off of her. When I left for college, my dad sold her and sent me the money. I heard that the old girl finally had 1 litter of pups. Judy was her name.😢

I enjoy watching these small game hunts with dogs more than watching all the deer, moose, and bear hunts put together. More, please!!

Just spent the day squirrel hunting with my nephew and finishing it off watching this video with him. Life is good

I laughed hysterically 2 times.... Dog plowing nose first into the water, and when Newcomb said he had to ask his wife if he could buy the dog.

Newcomb is wise beyond his years.

Buy the dog. Then say to your wife, Misty, look what followed me home. Can I keep him?

@@wasidanatsali6374 what’s crazy is we used to have a male Jack Russell and female Feist and they would make the best squirrel/coon/rabbit dogs and they were also great pets and my dad would give them away. Free. $500 dogs at the time he would give away for free

Super show!! Thanks to meateater for being the go to program for small game hunters. The feist dog doubles a a squirrel tenderizer also!

Clay climbing honey locust trees... a braver man than me.

Man I listen to all the country life episodes there is and been wondering about some of your videos and here they are, I super excited to watch this, thank you Brent, Clay, and Meat Eater crew

I love listening to them on the lake fishing. Its getting warmer again so time to get back out there.

Clay, we met briefly @ The Western Hunting Expo recently and it was an honor. You and Brent are everything that Meateater was missing!

I'm in NY and have a Mountain Feist. No one up here (including the vet) had heard of the breed. Best dog I ever owned. Awesome family dog and unreal hunter. They come hard wired to chase prey.

Small game episodes are hands down the best. Such an overlooked part of hunting.

Thank You for a great video. I truly enjoyed this one. 👍🇸🇪

Such a great episode. Thank you MeatEater for blessing us

That guy has been a hero for a long time. And seems he still is. Good companion on the hunt.

It is a lot of fun watching a guy try to figure out how he is going to tell his wife that he needs a new dog. 🤣

IMHO it doesn’t get any better than this, thanks for sharing and keep your videos coming please.

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures

My dad hunted walker coonhounds for a lot of years. Used them on bobcats and coyotes also. I sure hope his hounds that went before him met him at the gates! He carried baler twine to skin em in the woods and used that stick trick for the tails.

Old Finney Clay (Glenwood, AR) used to say: “A GOOD Plott is a lot like Sasquatch. Everybody’s heard of one but no one has ever seen one.”

This episode reminds me of the book "Where the Red Grows." It is one of the first books I have read when I was a young boy

I'm just glad to see Clay represent us houndsman. It's a way of life that's fading away. Nothing like hounds to get ya on the game. Hope you find the right plott hound

Agreed Clay. The only thing that matters is meat in the pot, not the gun used to get it

Bout time we get some more hound hunts

Another good houndsman page. Very informative. Really enjoyed it.

Ran across this in my feed and gave it a click. Entertaining, educational…just a real good video. Thank you.

Honestly, watching a good dog work a field is better than filling the bag.

Great hunt! Super fun to watch.

I run a half bluetick half mountain cur . She is my first scent hound and having her teach me how to hunt has been the greatest pleasure of my life don’t tell my wife or kid I said that . But as a dyed in the wool city boy (born and bred in Brooklyn) my middle age has been spent trying to become the natural man I am

Always enjoying these videos. Amazing stuff.

No racoon recipe? The name of the show is meat eater fellas

Great episode!!

Awesome video i really enjoy the small game hunting with dogs the best of all, I know Big Game is what pays the Bills for you guys, but I much rather prefer to see the old ways and reasons we use to hunt for, and that food and fellowship, not trying to get your name in the record books, thanks for making go ole hunting videos with dogs and friends , God Bless

Try the blessed outdoors show. Friends and family dogging everything from squirrels and rabbits to deer and bear. Their NC 2023 bear season opener video is lit.

We missed you bud glad to see you getting better

It’s nice to be able to sit inn doctor’s office and go with you on these hunts! The dogs brought such music to my heart!

Great video! Love watching the dogs work

Been a meat eater fan since it’s inception. Clay and Brent are no doubt the best additions!! Listen to every podcast on the channel! Hell I miss Bent!

Have you found "Cut and Retie" Joe Cermele's podcast? Even better than "Bent" was in my opinion.

Hope to see more of these two.

Good stuff, fellas. Brent, it's good to see you still out there getting after it.

That plate shot of the food was just down right punishment not being able to eat it.😢 I was drooling like a St Benard. 😊

Love these kind of videos!! Keep it up!

I see Clay, I'm watching!

It great buying a finished dog but there is something special that happens when you raise and train a dog from a puppy. There is a bond that if forged through all the crazy and wonderful times that you experience together. Brought back great memories of my younger days! I grew up hunting Blueticks. It is hard to change breeds once you have raised and trained a good dog.

That walker is a unit!

Love this stuff. I enjoy the "Everyman" hunting content.

I swear I heard Clay’s burrito machine go off in the beginning.

Dude this video is lit guys keep it up

Great hutting and good food 👍👍👍👍👍👍

We always run a mixed bag of shotguns and 22s. If they're sitting still they get the .22, running the shotgun. Great episode guys.

Love it!!

Great video Clay!

South Centeral. Love to see yall in AR

Great video.

Been waiting for this one!

Love videos like this

13:05 Clay has the “DAGUM KIDS BETTER GIT OFF MA PROPERTY” run😂

Need to see a White River trout vid!

Entertaining, informative. Not too " barky " like most videos. Actually learn something. Nice bend of dog information. Nice work. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully Robert MacDonald Canada 🇨🇦

I love the Dale Earnhardt look Clay!

Confirmed @3:30 Brent is, in fact, an undercover game warden. WE ALL KNEW IT!! 😀

Darkansas baby!!!

awesome.

Man! Look at those dogs work!

More videos covering this kind of content!!

Decided to pass?? BS, the wife said no...just say so. Good video. I liked it. Clay is always awesome

Love this! Now my Bedlington is too old for ratting, he's my 'Fiest' substitute, so we go squirrel shooting and he's still got a job to keep him happy

Always used a 20 gauge to squirrel hunt. Have my father’s Ithaca model 37 feather light.

we need more vids of clay and brent

One of the best hunting video in a long time

At 23:13 clay looks like a Winchester model from 1970’s field and stream magazine lol, go hogs NEARKANSAS HERE thanks for repping our great state clay

Thanks Clay and Brent! Would love to see more videos like this!

These billboard hats are crazy

I love these two, we need more Clay and Brent hunts! Thanks Meateater

Hmmm, Clay could be a stand in double for a young DALE EARNHARDT!!! Always a groovy view as well!!!

My dad always made cat’s head biscuits. This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone else mentioned them. May dad is also from southern Arkansas. Maybe it is a regional thing.

2:35 mankind has been making levees since 2500 B.C.E I wouldn't call that a relatively new invention of man lol

Ole walkers are hard to beat

Hi from Nova Scotia

"They sure don't look as pretty when they're wet" said **EVERY** trapper that's either caught one in a pocket set on purpose or had one mess up a beaver set. Their hides are gorgeous; they look AWFUL when they're wet though!

Best episode. Thanks for this.

Yesssssss

Thanks

Great vid. Hope you don't mind all the comments from one fan.

Something about Brent is so calming. Thank yall for another awesome video!

22:30 Tartans on full display. 👍🐿👍

Clay: I like your remote holder. Where did you get that cool holder from?

we run walkers for deer down here in south eastern NC

I started out watching/listening to everything in the Meateater media universe because of Steve, but I gotta say, I listen/watch/buy way more now because of that man right there. Brent Reaves has become my hero. What a role model,storyteller, and just all around great guy!

1.5 minutes of "Meat eating" and cooking! Holy shit!

👍🐿👍AWESOME👍🐿👍

The .22 and shotgun thing is money. I rock a scoped Ruger Mark III Target on my hip and a 12g over my shoulder, lol.

Great video brother. What didn't you see in rocker that turned you away? Just curious.

Your either a plott man or your not. My dad was a blue tick man , and had some fine ones. But the minute I was old enough to have my own pack of deer hounds I went with the walkers. There endurance is unmatched but the blue dogs and plotts have a lot more brains. I hope you keep doing videos with hounds. They're the best.

Yes

Would love to get one of your Feists pups someday. How cold nosed are they? We run walkers on squirrel and fox here in far Northern California.

What tracking color and hand held is he using there? I may need to upgrade mine because them pictures are clear as day

My cousin had all his Bear dogs from the Walker brothers.

Squirrel hunting in Sweden during the mid to late 1900s almost exterminated them and they are still pretty rare in parts of the country. And do you eat raccoons or just take the fur??

I've been trying to figure out the mystery of the random rubbery squirrel for years, and I never thought to just boil all of them. How long do you boil them for?

@4:46 say it with me Clay... a-corn

Very true. You have to run a good dog. I have gsps. Year round training

I don't live anywhere near you, but I got my eyes on the ground lookin for daddy's knife anyway!
