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!

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.

[@johndyer9232]

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

[@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?

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

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! :)

[@rossgleason6693]

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

[@danc6402]

The stuff of legends. Nice work, Bear.

[@ColoradoElkHunting]

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

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

[@mikestillborn]

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

Loving all the conservation vids recently!

[@samuelmoore7388]

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

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

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

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

Right Clay! What more do you need? -is correct. Best part is you have the Lord as well. Good deal brother. Hope you keep your bear hunting vids coming

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

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

[@pieceofparadise9338]

The lack of good father & son relationships is what has caused the decline of our society.

[@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!

[@DogTown192]

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

[@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!

[@JoshSDshot]

Hell yeah I love Clay

[@patrickhastings5754]

This was excellent, thank you. Please more of this type of content, less fishing and bird hunting crap.

[@dustinpaul8968]

Great video! That young man pulled off quite the accomplishment. Congradulations.

[@doeyjiaz4798]

[@AlexanderAyling]

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

[@Ozarkansas76]

Loved it keep up the amazing work clay and great job bear. Wish the Render was in video format as well, love just listening to y’all talk like being around the campfire with y’all. Makes me proud to be an ozark hillbilly much like yourself. And that was very much a complement.

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.

[@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

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

[@KRYPTOSPOLLARD]

Bear is a man of few words. Lol. "Yup"

[@tammiebroggins]

So are you going to eat the bear ?

[@BirdBrainBrian64]

I am late to see this but wondered how do you get the squirrel to sit still on your mule's back while you shoot it? 😂 Good thing you clarified what you meant by that LOL. I live in Arkansas. Sure would love to meet you someday Clay. I did quite a bit of bear hunting when I lived in Walla Walla Washington.

[@JvincentR]

Congratulations to you all and especially bear ! That’s damn impressive to take that trip on the mountain for 3 days alone! Much respect!

[@Bowstringdotcom]

Baiting bears is also a big investment of time, energy and effort. Its not a freebie, and its not lazy, it takes lots of planning, and I agree with Clay, its a big time commitment. It's a great way to hunt predators. Congrats to that young MAN. Thats an experience he will never forget, and is the type of thing that gives you confidence that you can make it in life, not just hunting. Congrats Bear!

[@tobythewuss]

Some of the best meateater content yet. Def up there. Good stuff all around

[@1990westfalia]

So… did momma recognize her boy as he came back a man? That would have sent us all over the edge. Sometimes, it’s better that we can only imagine the reunion, in order to save us a tear soaked sleeve. Great story, thanks for sharing. Skillet

[@natequestelle6464]

Of all the things Steven Rinella has done for the world of hunting, without a doubt the one of greatest will be bringing Clay Newcomb to the knowledge of the masses. I like to consider myself a renaissance man, but I am an Abercrombie & Fitch modern model version compared to Clay...and the sucker and sing and pick too...dang. Congrats to Bear John! Excellent video.

[@ButchElrod]

Clay, What do you do with your mule while hunting? Highline? Hobble? How far from your stand?

[@gibsonlife573]

Man that's the best I think that would create the best film's possible to get a bunch of kids to go out and just get after it

[@jimdavis3273]

We're not allowed to bait bears here in BC, Canada it's all spot and stalk. There's no problems finding big bears if you're willing to cover ground, The bear population up here is strong and healthy. Ole Slew foot Johnny Horton, I haven't heard that song in a long time.

outstanding Bear! I'm in my 40's and don't think I could hunt the mountains for three days by myself and not to mention KILL A BEAR! Way cool!!

[@michiganwoodsman2199]

I know you and we’ve talked about the Lord a couple times. Just remember to keep talking our Savior up! Also you are a kind and loving person as a Christian man I can say you are one hundred percent good people. Come hunt here in the UP of Michigan.

[@scottlavale1502]

Baiting is a LAZIER form of hunting yes. People don't say its lazy because there's no work into it... they say its lazy because animals are always trying to find food and hidding while they feed to shoot them requires the least amount of skill versus ground tracking and hunting on the field. Think about it, if you use urine, the most favored foods and hidding your oder with products and hide in a tree to shoot them its a lot easier then walking up to them, having to avoid the wind ...sounds ..the randomness of being spoted..using the terrain to you're advantage ...the stamina...trying to quarter the beast on a un perfect spot with the chance of confrontation with other predators. If it gets the job done who cares, but it's a lot easier that field hunting.

[@christianniem844]

Damn Clay is the real deal, is if I ever doubted it. But to see him belting out Johnny Horton sure was a hoot. Your boy sure is a great hunter already at 55 I dont think I could have pulled that off. I must admit I never had much blood lust to kill a bear but I think this video made me turn the corner.

[@Penobhunter11]

Great content but the camera guy on your shot? Really? Out of frame and absolutely no focus. This is the MeatEater channel and it looks like he's filming with a potato. Congrats on the successful hunt!

[@chadwickanderson805]

That ending about made my eyes wet! AWESOME video Clay!!!!!!!

[@jblanla]

Does anyone know the exact story Mrs. Newcomb mentioned about right of passage for young hunters? I’d like to read more on it. Thank you

[@carlogonzalez7298]

when Steven Rinella gonna jump up unto the field again...? Man that dude hunting skills really dope. And I am waiting for his turn to lift his hunting gun again. Soon? maybe.... Meat Eater was an interesting channel to watch.

[@corbinnewman8886]

[@kennethbillman5701]

Absolutely awesome video, two thumps up to that young and his dad. Loved it

[@SmokeEater509]

I had Bear in the back of my head that entire episode (like how's the young buck doing), but I do agree with the idea. No better way to learn responsibility and survivability than to have it thrust upon you (with a safety net like in this case). Need more kids learning real world skills.

[@alaskanadventure3275]

Fantastic video. I hunt over bait, and it’s fun seeing some of the differences. For no good reason, I would have assumed your bears to be smaller. Thanks!

[@HugeTinkyWinky]

Good episode. But makes me realize what a special talent Steve is.

[@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

[@blessedboldingbunch384]

I"ve been messaged by "meateater" claiming that I won a free hoyt rx7 bow. I was foolish enough to except and agree to pay shipping charges. They have harassed me all week for more money. This is a scam and I'm not even sure this is really meat eaters youtube. If you recieve a similar message beware it is a scam.

[@jonmcconnell8741]

Clay, when say people start talking that smack about baited bear huntings not ethical and not real hunting and all that garbage. I want to comment on Bear hunting a river filled with salmon. Isn't that hunting over bait????

I live in Arkansas, zone 2, and have never hunted bear. I would love to but it feels like an unlikely dream without a mentor to teach me. Hope to find one, one day.

Where ever Thay was at sense it's arnksaw Thay probably took the full quota for whatever county Thay was in and closed the bear hunting down for the rest of the hunters there this happened once in yell county years ago some grope of hunters came in and killed the 5 Bear quota on the first day of seasons thire by shutting down the rest of bear hunting for that year gun and muzzleloader both

Super cool of the young kid to get a bear the like that but baiting on private land doesn’t seem as rewarding and I get baiting is ok and ethical it’s just doesn’t seem like it would feel rewarding as a hunter
