Ep. 251: This Country Life - Trapping Sep 13, 2024

Show notes

The approach of the fall season has Brent waxing poetic about the trapping experiences he had growing up in rural Arkansas. The time spent on his trapline served up invaluable lessons on a number of things, only one of which was trapping. Brent credits "laying steel" as one of the cornerstones that helped him understand not only the conservation aspects of animals, but also how they interact with the landscape. It's time to go trapping on this week's episode of MeatEater's "This Country Life" podcast.
