You're listening to an I-Heart podcast.

You're listening to the Sportsman's Nation podcast network brought to you by Interstate Batteries.

Interstate Batteries was the first supporter of the Sportsman's Nation.

I've gotten to know some of the people who work for that organization very well.

It's an awesome company.

They make awesome products and they have thousands of retail locations all over the United States.

So if you need help finding a specific battery, whether it's for your truck, whether it's for your trail camera, a remote control, a range finder, anything in between,

stop into a local Interstate Batteries retail store, talk with a specialist, and they're going

to help you out. Interstate batteries outrageously dependable.

My name is Clay Newcomb, and I'm the host of the Bear Honey magazine podcast.

I'll also be your host into the world of hunting, the icon of North American wilderness, the bear.

We'll talk about tactics, gear, conservation, but we'll also bring you into some of the wildest country on the planet chasing bear.

On this podcast, Jonathan Wilkins of Black Duck Revival and myself have a discussion about the history

of African-American hunting in the South, but more importantly, we discuss the issues that

have led to low participation of African-Americans in modern hunting. The discussion flows into

racism, its roots, the roots of racism in modern hunting,

and Jonathan gives some insightful commentary, as is his usual thing he does, on race issues

in general. Our discussion is framed around a book called Hunting and Fishing in the New South

by Scott Giltner.

And it's an incredible book.

And we kind of use the book as a scaffolding around the conversation.

I'm really looking forward to you guys hearing my conversation with Jonathan Wilkins.
