  • This Country Life

    I have been a fan of Brent Reaves since his days on Nite Life Nation, talking about coon hunting and country living. He is a humble man, but his ability to blend humor, comfort, and heartfelt sincerity is extraordinary. Everything from life lessons learned from a career in law enforcement, to the best way to cook up squirrels, This Country Life is the perfect slice of wholesome relaxation, akin to an Arkansan Bob Ross.
