It won't be long before family vacations and interactions with nature increase. Schools are out for most, but for some the real education in the outdoor classroom begins.

It can happen quicker than you can say, "Where'd Frank go, and why is that buffalo standingby his shoes?" It's "Messing With Critters" this week on MeatEater'sThis Country Life podcast.

Brent's tales of woe aren't confined to turkey hunting either, but you probably knew that already. It's time for some humble pie on this week's episode of MeatEater's "This Country Life" podcast.
