Host of MeatEater’s Bear Grease Podcast, Clay Newcomb joins Mark Boardman to recount an unorthodox but effective coastal bear hunt, bear hunting in general, owning Bear Hunting Magazine, how he ended up at MeatEater as part of their all-star cast (our words not his) and more. Clay is a hell of a woodsman, super interesting, inciteful, and all-around great guy. Tune in for a fantastic conversation and to hear how his rangefinder took a salty licking and kept on ticking.
