Bear Hunting Magazine Podcast

Hunting raccoons with hounds is as culturally iconic as apple pie. Liberal hunting seasons, lots of raccoons, ample amounts of public land and fun with hounds are just part of the allure. Coonhunting is fun option to recruit new hunters and your kids will love it, too. Coonhunting is a great way to acquire some beautiful pelts and, from a conservation angle, temporarily get rid of nest predators. In this podcast we go on a live coon hunt in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas with Clay Newcomb and a first time hunter, Jonathan Webster. They discuss the history of coonhunting, what tree dogs are, the history of Plott hounds and the how-to of free casting hounds for coonhunting. You’ll hear the dogs strike and tree a coon and be right in the excitement. Be sure to listen until the end when their conversation turns into a play-by-play coonhunt!

Bear hunting with hounds in the Appalachian mountains of Eastern Tennessee is a cultural experience. On this podcast we sit down with long-time Plott breeder and bear hunter, Tracy (TL) Jones of Greeneville, Tennessee to discuss some plot history, what he looks for in a bear hound, and we’ll tell some bear hunting stories. Even if you aren’t a hound hunter, this podcast is for you! Our hope is that you get a glimpse into this unique hunting niche and end up with a respect for it. Hound hunting is one of the most misunderstood types of hunting, but I think you’ll see why it’s important that you support it, even if you don’t ever care to be a part of it. Bear hunting with hounds is one of the most traditional methods of bear hunting. Many of the iconic American hunters of the past including Daniel Boone and Teddy Roosevelt were avid hound hunters. It’s anything but the lazy man’s way to hunt, and would rival any of the hunting styles on the planet in terms of difficulty and skills needed to consistently take ga

On this episode of the Bear Hunting Magazine podcast, Moe Shepherd and Clay Newcomb discuss hunting black bear on public land in the Eastern Deciduous forest without the use of bait or hounds. You might call it spot and stalk, but really it’s doing whatever it takes to take a bear which might involve treestand hunting, still hunting, hunting off the ground in a stationary position or spotting a bear and stalking it. We talk about how to find bears, where to find them, what they’re eating, what kind of sign to look for and the mentality you’ll need to be successful. We also tell some fun stories of successful hunts. This is certainly one of the most difficult hunts in North America, yes, you read that right – we gladly invite the most elite of Western hunters to the East and give them a week to kill a bear! It isn’t easy! Bears are low density animals, and when you combine that with low visibility you end up with a challenging hunt, but that’s what makes it so satisfying when success finds you.

On the sixth and final of his Canadian hunt, Clay Newcomb of Bear Hunting Magazine harvests a massive & gnarly old buck 14 minutes before the end of legal shooting light in Manitoba. It was a tough hunt, rut activity was slim to none by this time, but he finally caught up with a buck on a feeding pattern. It got a little western when a coyote ran the buck out of a field at daylight while Clay was stalking into shooting range. He ended up building a brush blind and waiting for 9.5 hours for the buck to return. It worked! Clay and James Lawrence are in the truck headed back home and discuss the details of the exiting final hunt. Canada may seem out of reach for many, but it’s not nearly as hard as you might think.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever wanted to hunt the giant whitetails of Canada? On episode #8 of the Bear Hunting Magazine podcast we sit with Tom Ainsworth of Grandview Outfitters to discuss an array of topics, but our focus is big Canadian whitetails. Tom has been hunting the same large tract of agricultural land for over 40 years and has guided hunters to countless massive whitetails. He himself killed a 208” buck in the early 1980s and hasn’t hunted the property himself since. The largest client-killed buck was 193”. Clay Newcomb has now hunted with Tom for two years and had some tremendous hunts, including a 152” massive bowkill buck in 2017. At the time of this recording Clay had yet to take a deer in 2018, but that would change on the final day of the hunt (podcast #10). Tom just two years ago got out of the bear outfitting business, but he briefly talks about the big bears of Manitoba. Tom gives some history on the Ukrainians that settled this region, the agriculture, the diversity of wildlife and the way they hunt big
