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.😢
Need more episodes like these for the houndsmen and small game hunters. The memories I’ve made hunting over good dogs and talkin smack with friends in the squirrel woods, things I’ll never forget
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'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.
Mr. Clay, I love your work and hunting skills. Watching your content is like stepping back in a time that most people will never experience, but they can, if they so choose.
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.
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
@@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
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.
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.
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!
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 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

"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!
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.
@@ClayNewcomb-n8i thanks Clay, I was able to figure out what the were after I posted and ordered em. Came today. Cutting up my last haul of squirrel for the season tomorrow with em. Have a good one.

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
Do you eat em?
Super show!! Thanks to meateater for being the go to program for small game hunters. The feist dog doubles a a squirrel tenderizer also!
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.
Clay, we met briefly @ The Western Hunting Expo recently and it was an honor. You and Brent are everything that Meateater was missing!
Thank You for a great video. I truly enjoyed this one. 👍🇸🇪
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.
Such a great episode. Thank you MeatEater for blessing us
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures
Small game episodes are hands down the best. Such an overlooked part of hunting.
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.
NY here got ours from Tennessee 10+ years ago
IMHO it doesn’t get any better than this, thanks for sharing and keep your videos coming please.
That guy has been a hero for a long time. And seems he still is. Good companion on the hunt.
Clay climbing honey locust trees... a braver man than me.
Mr. Clay, I love your work and hunting skills. Watching your content is like stepping back in a time that most people will never experience, but they can, if they so choose.
That footage of the little dog running full force into that water and face diving.......beautiful

Hope you find the right plott hound
Buy the dog. Then say to your wife, Misty, look what followed me home. Can I keep him?
What if she says no? 😂
@@Roosterboy_00too bad lol.
My buddy bought a finished squirrel feist. I know he paid a big price with a comma in it for the dog. He told his wife he found it on a job site. 🤣

Gotta make sure the kids see it first so its harder to say no @@wasidanatsali6374
Another good houndsman page. Very informative. Really enjoyed it.
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
Great hunt! Super fun to watch.
A couple of my favorite fellas!
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!
I love these two, we need more Clay and Brent hunts! Thanks Meateater
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. 🤣
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.
Thanks Clay and Brent! Would love to see more videos like this!
Great video! Love watching the dogs work
Good stuff, fellas. Brent, it's good to see you still out there getting after it.
Ran across this in my feed and gave it a click. Entertaining, educational…just a real good video. Thank you.
Always enjoying these videos. Amazing stuff.

One of the best hunting video in a long time
Honestly, watching a good dog work a field is better than filling the bag.
Great hutting and good food 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Love this stuff. I enjoy the "Everyman" hunting content.
Something about Brent is so calming. Thank yall for another awesome video!
I see Clay, I'm watching!
Agreed Clay. The only thing that matters is meat in the pot, not the gun used to get it
Love these kind of videos!! Keep it up!
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.
13:05 Clay has the “DAGUM KIDS BETTER GIT OFF MA PROPERTY” run😂
Great episode!!
Bout time we get some more hound hunts
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 🇨🇦
That walker is a unit!
Dude this video is lit guys keep it up
Decided to pass?? BS, the wife said no...just say so. Good video. I liked it. Clay is always awesome
Need to see a White River trout vid!
Always used a 20 gauge to squirrel hunt. Have my father’s Ithaca model 37 feather light.
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
Hope to see more of these two.
We missed you bud glad to see you getting better
Confirmed @3:30 Brent is, in fact, an undercover game warden. WE ALL KNEW 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. 😊
Best episode. Thanks for this.
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
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.”
I love the Dale Earnhardt look Clay!
my kinda life,food fit for a King,shared with friends.
I swear I heard Clay’s burrito machine go off in the beginning.
Great episode!
Been waiting for this one!

Great video Clay!
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
Ontario Canada’s squirt season opens tomorrow September 25 and our raccoon season opens October 5….I am pumped 👍🏻
South Centeral. Love to see yall in AR
22:30 Tartans on full display.
👍🐿👍
Great show! good hunting, good shooting and better yet, GREAT eating!!! Thanks Meateater

memories
Love videos like this

@4:46 say it with me Clay... a-corn
2:35 mankind has been making levees since 2500 B.C.E I wouldn't call that a relatively new invention of man lol
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.
Darkansas baby!!!
Hmmm, Clay could be a stand in double for a young DALE EARNHARDT!!! Always a groovy view as well!!!
Man! Look at those dogs work!
Love it!!
Great vid. Hope you don't mind all the comments from one fan.
No racoon recipe?
The name of the show is meat eater fellas
Great video.
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.
These billboard hats are crazy
we need more vids of clay and brent
More videos covering this kind of content!!
My cousin had all his Bear dogs from the Walker brothers.
Those shears you use to clean the squirrel, who makes those?
Fiskars
@@ClayNewcomb-n8i thanks Clay, I was able to figure out what the were after I posted and ordered em. Came today. Cutting up my last haul of squirrel for the season tomorrow with em. Have a good one.
Anyone know how much these dogs could cost?
What are the shears clay is using in the video when cleaning
What’s the story of the name behind Batesville method? Curious cause I grew up there?
My buddy that me this method was from Batesville, Arkansas. He said “everybody in Batesville does it that way.” = Batesville Method
Very true. You have to run a good dog. I have gsps. Year round training
Ole walkers are hard to beat
