Linchpin: a person or thing vital to an enterprise or organization or a pin passed through the end of an axle to keep a wheel in position. 

Understanding the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation is the linchpin for understanding the relevance for modern hunting. Clay believes that as hunters we need to know our history, our narrative and our story in a robust way. On this podcast Clay, Kolby Morehead and River Newcomb discuss Shane Mahoney and Valerious Gueist's new book, The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. 

You'll get the "short version" of the model and probably learn something - we sure did. This book is an incredible resource and we encourage you to read it!

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 whitetails. Tom hasn’t been educated by the trends of the modern whitetail media, but rather by four decades of experience watching whitetails on a daily basis. Some of his philosophies might surprise you. You’ll truly enjoy this podcast and it will keep you entertained and informed?

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. Please check out www.bear-hunting.com and subscribe to Bear Hunting Magazine for more great information about hunting the icon of North American wilderness – the bear.

Roy Clark, now 71, was born in East Tennessee and has been bear hunting with hounds his whole life. “My grandpa and daddy, when they started out hunting, I’d get to go with them to the 12-Mile Strip. We didn’t have anything but a log truck, camping gear and dogs. We’d walk from there – no radios or nothing. It was tough to find bears that way.” Roy has gone from primitive hunting with hounds all the way to using modern GPS collars, which have changed the game. Bear numbers are as high as they've ever been in modern times, and hound is different than 50 years ago. Roy, as a houndsman, is a living legend and you're certain to enjoy this look into Appalachian Mountain hunting culture with the Laurel Mountain Bear hunters.

Has the thought entered your mind that you need a squirrel dog? If it hasn't, it will soon. Squirrel hunting with dogs is experiencing a resurgence across the country. The long seasons, ample squirrel numbers, good meat and the shear excitement of the hunt is starting to turn people back to small game hunting. In this podcast Clay Newcomb, Michael Lanier, Trae Autry and Jason Liles talk about the different squirrel dog breeds, dog registry, how the different breeds hunt, along with some mule talk and general tom foolery in a fun conversation. In summary, there are two types of squirrel dogs - curs and feists. Inside of these two breeds there are multiple strains and they all hunt a little different. This podcast is a must listen for anybody interested in extending their season and becoming a noble squirrel hunter.

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.
