You're listening to an I-Heart podcast.

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.

This week, Colby and I dial it back a notch and bring up some pretty relevant topics that are relevant to the Barney Magazine podcast, meat eater, my association with meat eater, and magazines and the current state of our hunting.

We talk about a bunch of stuff, but this is definitely a different style of podcast that

I think you'll, there's some relevant information.

And in these tight quarters in the mountains where I'm hunting, you're not

going to get two shots in animal anyway, so might as well be carrying a musloader. So I carried my

CVA accurate mountain rifle. Colby, I haven't even told you this. I fell in the creek on the

way out in the dark. I was crossing the creek, fell in the creek, went down to my knees.

The muzzleloader went totally underwater.

Oh, man.

The butt of the muzzleloader, including the breech plug, went totally underwater.

Oh, okay.
