Bear Hunting, Hound Training, Mule Breaking, Ozark Renaissance Man | First Lite Presents "Newcomb"

Meet First Lite Pro Team Member, Clay Newcomb. Born and raised in Northwest Arkansas, Clay is an Ozark renaissance man: He’s a writer, filmmaker, mule-skinner, hound trainer, artist, conservationist, trad archer, and the owner and editor of Bear Hunting Magazine. His skills and passions as a hunter are diverse: If it walks, crawls or flies in Arkansas, you can be sure Clay’s hunted it. Most importantly he’s a father, husband and one of the most humble and gracious people on the planet who convincingly argues that balancing responsibilities and passions is the key to success. Our new film “Newcomb,” explores how Clay integrates business, the outdoors, and family so brilliantly in his life.

I could listen to Clay talk all day about bears and Arkansas, a good Ole boy to say the least

[@bearhuntingmagazine]

Rock on! Thanks First Lite!

[@chickenjoe1003]

Why would anybody dislike this?

[@RP-qz1bv]

Heck yes!!! Amazing vid. Finally Clay is getting the recognition he deserves. Job well done.

[@kellielliott2313]

Awesome mate. I am in Australia. I just got on to your pod casts as a coincidence listening to Meateater. I have never been to America, never chewed tobacco, never ridden a mule. I hunt weekly here but enjoy seeing another world over there. foreign

[@DanielDunn]

Outstanding. Job well done, tells a really nice story. BAM!

[@TheValleyB]

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

As good of a representative of the lifestyle as you'll find. Good film!

[@jonm3688]

By far one of my favorite people read articles from, listen to on podcasts and to watch. Really helped my passion for bears explode and to bring to my whole family.

[@joshtaylor6748]

Words to live by.

[@fairviewhomestead]

Read an article about Clay not too long ago. What a cool dude!

[@beartracker5762]

Your the real deal dude!!👍

[@seaneppers6508]

That's a good dude that has his priorities in the right order!

[@forestgrump2168]

we are lucky to have him in our sport.

[@deathdealerd2648]

As good of an introduction to Clay as if I had been introduced to him somewhere in person. Y'all have done well and should be as proud of these video's as I was to watch them. Keep it up...

[@whitetailguru6768]

Well done! Just came across Clay recently and what a class act!

[@Artstein3]

Another excellent production by First Lite. Clay, I love how you put being a father and family above hunting but yet equally as passionate.

[@GreatPlainsKayakAngler]

Wow, great film! I’m a big fan of Clay, and would really enjoy meeting him on the trail one day. Thanks for sharing!

[@kevinkelly1529]

That Vertix bow look so nice that at first I thought it was a BEAR. ... reminds me of my Method.

[@sethcotterman7446]

10:04 👏👏👏🙏 right on the money clay.

[@stitchesdraw6397]

Excellence !!!

[@justkeepgoing237]

I appreciate how being good at a craft means having that solid foundation. A diverse life is something I personally have always strived to have. Keeping family first allows me to be the man I want to be in the rest of those aspects. Thank you for highlighting that. Also good luck with the mule. My dad tried to get into that after years of bareback rodeos and hunting. Towards the end of his life that was a new challenge he wanted to take on. Who knows. Back to my coon hunting on cold nights on top of a mule. Wow.... Good luck brother.

[@jbcurdog72]

Awesome video!!! Just needed to be longer!!! Lol

[@mountainfeist3750]

He is one of the best! He is a tuff man and a great hunter.

[@RadDadisRad]

Here’s something that’s really weird. I travelled to Arkansas to get married, fell in love with the state. The people in whole are friendly and kind. The outdoorsman image is a positive thing. The terrain is difficult at best. I spent everyday including the day I got married hiking and exploring with my wife. I have been actively searching for a property in Arkansas and now that I know that the legendary Clay Newcomb is an Arkansas resident that excites me even more. I found some old paper mill logging properties. Definitely trying to pull the trigger. Who knows I may be able to invite Clay out to hunt one day.

[@citysticker-chris]

Good stuff there Clay...Humble guy..His magazine the ABBA, was a great read. He told me, I was the only PA guy to subscribe to an Arkansas magazine. HAHA...Congrats bud.

[@magnumarrowarchery155]

This dude needs his own show

[@wesleygray6770]

Love this stuff! I hope you guys continue to find people to do these films on to represent your company.

[@BallewBlade86]

Wow what a great dude, definitely someone to aspire to!

[@bs81107]

Love this guy! Found him through being obsessed with meat eater series and excited he's part of their crew now. I didn't get into hunting till my 30s but always been in the outdoors. This man is an inspiration to me. Keep up the amazing work, thank you clay and first lite!

[@waltmanis6595]

This was so fun to watch Clay. I love that you are living out of your passions for Jesus, your family, and hunting. It seems like you're really going for it and finding success. I'm proud of you! I sometimes think about when we used to go fish out of that creek near the country club and catch fish with tumors. I don't know what was in that water but it made for some messed up looking fish. I'm not into hunting like you are, but I understand the love of nature and being in the woods and mountains. Keep going for all the adventures and we'll be with you watching it all on KZbin.

[@bearhuntingmagazine]

Right on, Walt! Thanks man! Appreciate you watching. Let's go fishing!

[@ForrestMillerMusic]

Love it

[@richwinkler6765]

Good, good stuff Clay.

[@ericberglund9349]

Loved this!

[@christopherch7307]

No wonder I missed it..... It wasn't posted on bear hunter page. ⬛HELLO FROM SOUTH CRACKALACKA⬛

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Bought the first lite rifle guess when I get my stimulus check I’ll buy some clothing 😎

[@JL-xn3zy]

Awesome stuff! 💪in✝️

[@jarodshelton]

So cool. Come up to missourah anytime

[@20cameron1]

You ain’t going to believe this: I had a dream/vision of one of the buck’s I’m after. Where he would be, where he would travel, and where he would drop after o shot him. I still have the sketch after the dream/vision/or whatever you want to call it.

[@IdahoTylers]

Notice his 208 Idaho fly hat

[@IdahoTylers]

I’m talking about Brent reeves

[@travisbowers5143]

When is First Lite coming out with horse pants???!

[@FirstLiteHuntingApparel]

Hmm. Good question.

[@richarddickens5346]

How stubborn does a man have to be to tame the most stubborn animal on earth?

[@teacheng3795]

Interesting video but really hard to listen to with too that terrible background music to override and distract from what you were saying

[@nickholcroft]

I get it. April fools, right?

[@CamDee13]

I don’t like guy, I asked him why he censored out Aron Snyder on his podcast and his answer was “we don’t want to offend children” I LMAO’ed and said to him “what kid who is at in age where cussing will offend them is going to be sitting around listening to an almost 2 hour podcast about bear hunting? He didn’t have much to say to that lol

[@bearhuntingmagazine]

David Mercado Bro! What’s sup?! Good to hear from you again. Hope you’re well.

[@hawkstrat9105]

I can't imagine being triggered by a guy censoring his own podcast.

[@JL-xn3zy]

I agree with Clay. I listen to a lot of hunting podcasts. I’ve been in the Army for 25 years so I have heard it all in terms of cussing. Fact is there is no need for it on broadcast that hopefully our young aspiring hunters are listening to. It is a lack of tact and class, and completely unnecessary.

[@CamDee13]

J L I disagree we are all adults and most of us all watch movies with lots of cussing and adult entertainment, look at Howard Stern he's king of media and his whole platform is built on rawness it makes it authentic. Theres too many pussies in the hunting industry. That's why Snyder is so popular because he dont give a fuck more people need to be like him!
