"Born into every generation are restless men with feet that will not stand still, eyes that search for distant mountains, hearts that long to go where the scene is new and the promise of adventure is alive."                                                                                                                                                                                             - George Laycock There's no better way to describe Ed Vance, our guest on this week's re-release podcast.   Clay visited Ed at his home in the Greenhorn Mountains of Southern California to discuss his inability to stand still as the mountains called him with the promise of bear and lion.

This is our most informative bear-baiting podcast to date. Veteran bear hunters Heath Martin and Ryan Greb talk with Clay Newcomb, from start to finish, on how to bait and target big bears. They cover topics including: where to place a bait site, what type of feeders to use, how far in advance to start feeding bears, what type of bait and how much, using scent attractants, how to target big bears, hunting strategy for opening day and the proper way to celebrate when you kill a 500 pounder (HA!). You can learn a lot about bear behavior by observing bears at a bait site. Clay attributes his knowledge of the habits of non-baited bears to extensively studying how bears manage food source on bait. Overall, this is the most robust, informative podcast we've done on baiting bears and you're bound to learn something. Good luck bear hunting this fall.  Bear Hunting Magazine is Powered by SimplecastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The name "Ted Nugent" evokes a host of responses from different people. Ted is an iconic rock-and-roll legend and outspoken political pundit, but in the hunting community we know him as "Uncle Ted." He's been the most outspoken hunter on the mainstream American stage for the longest period of time. Early on, Ted brought a new energy, life and zeal into the hunting world along with a positive narrative unlike anything we'd ever heard. Ted is also a controversial figure in many spheres for various reasons, which he addresses in this conversation. On three different occasions Ted plays the guitar for host, Clay Newcomb, including his legendary song, Fred Bear, at the end of the podcast. Clay and Ted discuss the threats to modern hunting, Ted's hunting roots, staying clean and sober for 72 years, poaching, and high fence hunting. Ted brings his legendary enthusiasm; this is not one to miss!   Bear Hunting Magazine is Powered by SimplecastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your
