While Shags is off celebrating his wedding, we’re rolling back to one of our favorite conversations from the early days of the show. In this best-of episode, Brandon Butler and Nathan “Shags” McLeod sit down with Clay Newcomb — before he joined MeatEater and became a household name in the hunting world.
Clay talks about building Bear Hunting Magazine and its podcast, managing bears, spot-and-stalk hunts, baiting, and how the Ouachita Mountains stack up against the Ozarks. Plus: traditional bows, the mystery bait bucket, and a gear review that takes us straight back to the roots of the show.
New episodes return next week — but for now, enjoy this classic conversation.
