Bow Hunting for Bear at Camp Bear Grease

[@steven_farmer89]

Clay is one of my favorite people at meateater, he is such a great storyteller.

[@averyoverly6533]

I 100% agree just a humbled guy

If ya ain't yet, give Bear Grease a listen. He is awesome!

[@michaelyeomans8992]

Agreed when it's a topic I am interested in his podcast is one of my favorites

Clay, that’s how men raise men. Good for you and Misty letting Bear come of age in one of the best ways possible.

[@VAdrummer72]

Man, as a relatively young man and a new father it brought a tear to my eye to see the excitement Clay has for Bear John here. I understand now the desire to share your passions with your children, and to see that here makes me excited to bring my daughter up in the out of doors. Thanks to meat eater for always putting out such awesome content!

[@MrCefink]

Wow. Powerful episode. That young man gives me hope for the future. We need more like him!

Yet he is still out there killing bears…

[@hunt_trap_fish]

@@jacobneymeyer9692 Black bear meat is one of the finest table fare meats in the natural world. It's also one of the best animals to harvest in terms of yield -- a person gets a LOT of meat off a black bear, compared to a yearling or 2 year old white-tailed deer. It's MUCH better than having state Agencies need to put down animals because the population exceeds carrying capacity -- the state benefits from the sale of licenses, which goes back into creating more and better habitat for all wildlife, and nothing goes to waste. Whereas in an animal damage control situation -- see CO -- bears are shot and left to rot on the ground.

[@jacobneymeyer9692]

@@hunt_trap_fish I swear this show brain washes people.

[@hunt_trap_fish]

@@jacobneymeyer9692 have you ever eaten bear meat? Have you ever looked at what happens to bears in states without hunter management?

[@beaubellamy2999]

Love that Clay finally has his own little mini series. He’s tremendous and it’s awesome to see how he hunts in his home state of Arkansas.

[@robydoan3961]

Clay Newcomb your a southern man's southern man! God, family and the outdoors, Rinella knew what he was doing when he brought you on to the Meateaters staff. Finally, a man that I can understand and relate to! Your Bear Grease podcasts are the best thing going. Your Daniel Boone episodes were the best of the best. Being from Kentucky I take great pride in the story of Colonel Boone. There is another man that I think you should take a look at and that is Simon Kenton. He had as much to do with or more so than OL' Dan'l with the settlement of Kentucky. Thanks again Clay, I appreciate you.

[@JohnMark-th6kr]

One of the best meateater productions ever!!! I Love the entire Bear Grease crew and all they stand for. Thanks Clay and keep up the great work!!

[@jSko91]

My new favorite hunting episode out there. As a father of two young boys, this is IT. Well done, Bear, and well done Clay!

[@ColtonBeasley-l6u]

I’ve rewatched this episode several times over the last couple of years but I’ve got to say now that I have a son of my own it means even more to me. My all time favorite episode of any hunting show

[@samuelmoore7388]

Clay is my favorite of the Meat Eater crew. Wise and humble, passionate and staunch. A good man.

[@gwhunt1023]

Hands down one of the best episodes, yet. Just stellar on all fronts. Our world would be in a lot better shape if more young men were raised up and given similar opportunities. Good job, Mr. Clay. Great dad work! :)

[@ColoradoElkHunting]

Just darn good people right there. Love it. Those father/son moments are awesome.

[@rossgleason6693]

Top notch Clay! Your content is some the best stuff I have seen in awhile.

[@danc6402]

The stuff of legends. Nice work, Bear.

[@mikestillborn]

Thank you for letting us share this experience with your family clay.

[@mightyORFEN]

Clay, I dont think you understand just how important and meaningful it is to tell your son youre proud of him. I miss my pops. Wish I could hear him tell me he is proud of me again. Ill never forget the last time he told me, and when my brother told me how proud he was with tears running down his face after we were trying to digest the tragic news of his passing. This is just wholesome and so dang awesome. Good job Bear.

[@TMP1016]

Clay is a storyteller. One that can bring the power beyond his tribe. Truth, honesty and a cadence that draws one in. Real good stuff.

[@michaelmann101]

CONGRATULATIONS BEAR!! There's no better feeling for a Father than passing on the art of hunting to his Son or Daughter. Thanks for keeping the tradition alive.

[@ThePjpulvermacher]

clay newcomb is like a cooler renella thats from the south.by far my favorite podcast too

[@debuthunter5389]

Cooler than Rinella? Each person's flavors I guess.

[@eddiehoff5278]

Many things to love about this video. More of Clay on meat eater please.

[@stevepate952]

Loved. Loved. Loved this episode. Thanks for making it more than just the kill. What a great legacy this is building. Blessings-Steve

[@daprofools5327]

Bear Grease is the Crown Jewel of MeatEater.

[@jimwolfe6254]

This is a great episode. By all accounts, Clay, his wife and his family are worth emulating. Thanks for the great story & sweet spirit. Made my day.

[@JoshuaJohnson-pq7hf]

so much pride in Clay and his son Bear! Way to go both of you! There is a family to follow and emulate. God bless you all

[@luevang4667]

This is gonna be my first bear hunt!! I'm so excited and nervous

[@ryckgarrett1214]

Content was by far the best I’ve seen. I’m a bow Hunter with 2 young sons. What an awesome experience to have. Thanks for sharing Clay!

[@mitchellelder4702]

Clay said it best, not alot of 15 yr Olds or even grown men can spend 3 days up on a mountain and come back with bear grease, hats off to that

[@Smfe614]

I like watching clay alot hes very knowledgeable. Its also awesome seeing his son being raised right and carrying on the next generation of men.

[@sim392]

Loving all the conservation vids recently!

[@ChasinStuds]

Man nothing is better than meateater. And clay to match well done team bear and bear!

[@colinroberts47]

I absolutely love the Clay Newcomb episodes. His perspective on everything makes you look at things in a different light.

[@gabe6645]

Feels like the old Bear Hunting Magazine videos! Clay is a great writer and narrator.

[@taco8033]

The World Needs more people like the Newcomb’s !! And who doesn’t like a woman in pigtails!

[@searadish565]

The Newcomb kids are the baddest kids out there. River's Bear is one of the best hunting films of all time.

[@pritchettboy]

Such a cool story. I had to come back and watch this one a second time a few weeks later. Love these personable stories and seeing the enjoyment on everyone’s face. A true American tale.

[@scottperryman2319]

First Comment I’ve made on KZbin…this is my favorite Meateater Episode yet. I almost teared up at both the send-off of Bear and the reunion after a successful hunt. Great stuff Mr. Clay!

[@lorneboucher6046]

Reminds me of when my old man and uncles would take me to deer camp for the week. It was cold and had some harsh days out there but I’m a better man today because of it. It’s great to see young men like Bear out enjoying what the creator has given us and honouring that animal with the amount of effort, determination and respect is really awesome too. Great episode

Did you have problems with doing the giveaway?

[@tuckerj07]

Thank you Clay and family for sharing. I love any media you turn out. The Newcombs and Co. are the best storytellers in the business.

[@chefrandysauce]

This is one of the best KZbin videos MeatEater has ever put out

[@sindrome303]

WoW what an amazing young man. Congratulations to him. What a way to make your dad proud.

[@DanielDunn]

Incredible ending, Congrats to all but especially Bear Newcomb, who seems like an outstanding young man.

[@hetteen1]

This might be the best video Meateater productions has ever put out. I loved watching Clay and Bear. Great job Bear!

[@mikemcd2846]

I'm all choked up for Clay and Bear!

[@cheechakooutdoors]

Absolutely loved seeing Bear be successful in his hunt. There absolutely aren't many hunters that could do that, and definitely something to be proud of...for both of you. Congratulations!

[@TheFIREFLAME53]

Gotta be my favorite thing I’ve seen from MeatEater. Showing the hunting, culture, and connections was pretty sweet.

[@bradbo3]

hands down my new favorite episode!!!! I was there when my sons got their first whitetail….and never a prouder moment until my oldest gave me a grandson and now my middle is having a baby girl after hunting season. I admit I almost teared up when Clay walked up to the boy.

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

Just when you think meat eater couldn't get any better,was an awesome video guys and congratulations bear on your first bear

[@missionman4539]

One of my favorite meateaters episodes of all time

[@wesbentley5927]

Loved hearing you sing Ole Slewfoot at the end! Billy Strings would be proud!

Clay is such a great addition to the @meateater team - great episode

[@jrobidas]

I’ve watched and listened to all y’all for a while now, this episode was simply my favorite of all. Way to go BEAR!

[@toddhorn3445]

Newcomb family & friends, thank you for sharing these moments with us, you didn't have to. Clay, another great story told. Kudos to the Meateater crew for capturing it and helping to share the story. In reading the other comments on here, I think this has really touched a lot of people.

[@kevinv9217]

Wow. You must be so proud of your son. He seems like a fine young man.

[@MrRyanmcmahon]

Much respect for Clay's son. At that age to accomplish such a feat is huge. He will take that confidence with him for ever. Wow, Hoka Hey!

[@invadernik]

Just when I thought i couldnt love the ppl of meateater enough, one of em sends their kid to hunt and the kid crushes it. back to back props for both of u.

[@robertnoel2363]

One of my favorite episodes. I know how his young fella feels to want to do it the hard way. Good on him and good on Clay for having the right support/nurture instinct. Give that kid airtime!

[@Niesha266]

Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine kzbin.infoUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.

[@JeffVonH]

I'm a Bear Grease fan and have been hoping for video of bear camp since the Bear Grease episodes that talked about it. This goes way beyond expectation! Thank you for letting us in! Powerful episode, very uplifting!

[@hunt_trap_fish]

I've got 4pts in WI, and I'll likely need 6-8 pts to draw a bear tag here in. I had NEVER considered bait as a better way to be selective in your harvest, but thinking about it, it's total and complete common sense. I love this perspective on bait. Thank you for explaining and shedding light on this strategy in such a relatable, understandable way. And how special that young man must have felt to have all of you turn out to help him with his bear and to celebrate that accomplishment. This is awesome.

[@DogTown192]

Awesome! Congrats to your son. That’s an accomplishment.

[@dirtmcgirt9445]

Wow! Young Bear, what a warrior. This gives me inspiration and hope for my own children.

[@siegehammer63]

Clay, I'm going to be a father this August after losing my dad last September very suddenly. What your son did was beautiful and I'm so excited to do that with my kids. Congrats, he's a special young man

[@scottcarter8823]

Love it. I enjoyed listening to Bears first solo hunt on the podcast, glad I was able to watch the process that goes with the story. You guys rock Clay.

[@tomheatwole6645]

I have watched all of the Meateater programs this is one of my favorites. Well done...

[@MetalBuddhaHead]

Big fan of Clay. I'm glad Meateater introduced me to him. I also love a wordsmith... Steve, Clay, Ryan and Yanis are topnotch Thanks for the upload!

[@tompowers1308]

This is the single greatest episode I've seen from Meat Eater, sorry Steve. The solo high-moral ground I originally found in meat eater with Steve is optimized by this right here. This is the true, perfect, representation of the generational hunter, the most common way people get into hunting.

[@danmcguire60]

Awesome!!!! Any content from Clay Newcomb is money!!!

[@danielb.ransberger8872]

Three things about this episode, I was glad to see you get your bear but even more excited that your boy got his and lastly I used to play and sing that song with my brother many years ago.

Man I love Clay, never even met the guy and yet even on video when he starts and tells a story I'm just stopping everything I'm doing and focusing. It's even more interesting to see him talk on video because of everyone around him doing the same thing. Top notch guy, when he tells a story everyone goes so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
