Today, we’re joined by Bear Newcomb, an eight-generation Arkansan and passionate outdoorsman from the Ozark Mountains. Bear is a skilled hunter, trapper, and houndsman, with a talent for flint napping and crafting selfbows. Beyond his hands-on expertise, he’s also a forward-thinking conservationist, working full-time with The Meateater team while pursuing a degree in environmental science. Whether on The Bear Grease Render or The Meateater YouTube channel, Bear’s deep knowledge and respect for the outdoors make him a standout figure shaping the future of hunting and conservation.
