On this episode, Clay Newcomb explores the Folsom archeological site in Folsom, New Mexico where the archeological world was turned upside down in 1925. Clay visits the Folsom Museum where he learns about the former slave, George McJunkin’s involvement in finding the bones from museum curator, Matt Doherty. Clay then takes a tour of the Folsom site with the world’s foremost expert on Folsom, Dr. David Meltzer of SMU. Ultimately, Tony Soares makes Clay a Folsom replica point which he takes back to Arkansas to use on a bear hunt.

My Dad made me stone points for my Handmade Osage Long Bow when I was 12. I bagged a 4 point buck. I am 67 now. I love this story and it makes me proud to use primitive archery.
That osage orange is harder than common core math
Awesome to hear
Epic and sacred ❤
My first ever deer I shot was with a traditional wood bow I made myself
@@Wahatoyas epic af xxxx
My new favorite mini series. Combining hunting with history and archaeology. I can’t wait for more episodes!
You said it! We'd like more Bear Grease, please and thank you!!!
It’s pretty awesome
I love this so much. Plz make 800 episodes. There's nothing else I need to be watching. It grabs me by the soul.
This is probably the most inspirational and wholesome pure thing on the internet. Thank you clay and meat eater for doing this epic work!!!!
Huge agree
Wonderful presentation. Many larger mainstream videos about these topics miss out on the smaller details but you got it all here. I am especially happy that you showed how deadly and efficient this technology really was with that bear kill. Bravo!!
Did you ever get a deer with one of the points you made on your channel?
@@Steve-ev6vx I have not hunted with them yet, hard to hunt more than one weekend since I am in university
I have watched thousands of hunting videos!!! This is one of the best. But of course, it's clay Newcomb. Everything the man does is gold!!! Fantastic series!!!
Amazing imo
This has to be one of your best episodes yet. To look into the past and then actually use what you've learned on a hunt, Mr Newcomb, you are the epitome of a steward for hunting and conservation.
Easily my favorite video from any meateater production, ever. For many reasons, can't wait to see more stuff like this.
Bear Grease is the best thing since sliced bread. Keep it up!
Great to see a more traditional angle on MeatEater.
Huge agree
Clay's storytelling carries warmth and humility. Thanks for taking us on your journey and weaving this centuries-old story into some great entertainment.
Well said JD collins!
BEST Meat Eater episode ever.
I love what clay is doing with this series. Truly look forward to each of these episodes.
Man this show is pure gold and a cherry on top of the podcast. Just makes me want to go back and listen to the associated podcast episodes again
Clay Newcomb is fast becoming my favorite hunter to watch! The passion with which he presents his stories makes for great entertainment. You know he Genuinely cares about his place and ours in the natural world. The poise with all those bears around was awesome to see as well, Keep em comin man!
You're the best Clay! thanks as always for the wisdom, insight, and respect for the nature and wilderness. Praying for a safe year of fun and adventure for you and your family.
I love Clay and his passion for hunting and hunting history.
Steven once again proves he is the best ambassador the hunting conservation community has. Very nice!
Absolutely unreal. I love this series. Great job Clay!
Just love this guy. Have listened to him for ages on MeatEater podcast. He’s a real inspiration. A proper-good-man.
Awesome film. Really enjoy Clay's enthusiasm for long-forgotten tales of incredible outdoorsmen.
This show needs to be required for most wildlife and humanities courses. This is how you get people interested and involved with archeology and history without politics.
History and MeatEater, this is insanely good.
Everything Clay does is great. He's one of a kind.
This was an incredible episode! Clay is such a true genuine backwoodsman and sportsman. Can’t wait for future episodes!
This series has quickly become my favorite. I really enjoy old timey US history, archeology, and of course, hunting. Well done and I look forward to many more episodes!
I was just out in Folsom, New Mexico, and the Raton area last year for a Pronghorn hunt. Harvested a beautiful antelope and got to learn a lot of the cool history there. I was at that same museum. Great memories. I hope I get the opportunity to go back. It's like a step back in time
Can’t get enough of Clays history telling. Love the Bear Grease pod cast and now this series compliments it perfectly! The production of Meat Eater and its amazing crew is next level. It’s amazing we live in a time when we have this learning experience at our finger tips. Thank you guys for all your hard super quality work your giving us!
Probably THE best vlog on the internet of a bear hunt I've ever seen. That was spiritual.
This was easily one of my most favourite and entertaining videos I've seen all year!
I drive fuel tankers, spend about 10 hrs a day bored in my truck, listened to one "bear grease" episode and got hooked. I went back & listened to literally every episode, one of my favorites. Great story telling with really interesting topics.
Clay, you’re the kind of inspiring man I’d love to sit next to at a camp fire and talk to. You don’t need to use a radio voice in your narration to keep me captivated. Great episode. I can’t wait for the next one.
Brilliant episode combining history and hunting ❤
When I first watched Meateater several years back, I was captivated by Rinella and his ability to capture and put into words the respect for the land and all the life it supports, and how genuine he is at addressing the human condition of working hard to obtain food from the land. I remember thinking back then, I don’t think there will ever be anyone as good at communicating that wisdom and respect and sincerity as Steve. Clearly I was wrong in thinking that. Clay and The Bear Grease podcast has been just as sincere and genuine, and this show is equal, in my eyes, to The Meateater in all aspects. Thanks for the inspiration Man.
I am literally calling this film the very best I've seen in my lifetime. Mr. Newcomb, I have seen hundreds of hunts. This has been the most enjoyable to watch and learn from. Congratulations to such a wonderful and educational film! From an Arkansan to an Arkansan, God bless and good hunting to you in the years to come.
Clay Newcomb can sure tell a story from the soul. Would be awesome to hunt with him.
South tx here! Been digging arrowheads most my life, it’s a weekly tradition. Now my kids are old enough and frequently join me.
Have you thought about recording them with the THC? I don't know a lot about the laws in Texas, and I assume you mean collecting on private land, but they do have an Archaeological Stewardship Network program for volunteers.
@@IvanIvanoIvanovich yes sir, all legal here in Texas to dig private property. The only artifact I found worth documenting was a brass Spanish trade gorget, to local tribes. I’m currently working with an archaeologist to do proper documentation as well. I’ve never found any Folsom culture artifacts, however I’ve found a couple broke Clovis projectile points.
@@lucaspeterson8701 That's awesome! I think we all hope for a Clovis in our career so congrats! The Spanish presence in Texas is so fascinating too. I was working out in Southern Oklahoma/North Texas and had my fingers crossed to find anything related to the Battle of the Two Villages since we were in the Spanish Fort area.
I'm a big ol' Bear Grease and MeatEater fan keep'em coming. Clay's story telling is Top Notch.
Outstanding new series! Coming from one of my absolute favorite podcasts this Bear Grease Roadshow is a fantastic addition, not many people can tell a story like Clay! You are NOT gonna wanna miss this one!!
A great tribute to our indigenous ancestors!
Mr. Newcomb sir, you are an excellent orator. Meateater has another wonderful series to educate me. Keep 'em coming.
Best show I've seen on KZhead this year! Human, hunting, history!
hell yeah, need more Clay videos
No doubt, one of the best Meat eaters shows 😮
Awesome episode. As usual, Clay narrates perfectly.
he narrates with skills?...
Awesome series so far. Clay has a way of narrating that I like a lot. Keep it up meat eater crew!
Mr. Newcomb. This is a very important video that shows us our past. Thank you and all the Meat Eater crew. One of the very best anyone has shown us of our past.
This is Amazing!! Im from the area, its awesome to aee our beautiful land and history on display. Thanks for coming to New Mexico! Come hunt Vermejo!
Clay Newcomb, the best story teller and narrator there is.
Clay; this is one of my favorite videos I have watched on KZhead.
This is one of the best shows yet from MeatEater. I love Clay Newcombs podcast and this is basically a video form of it! Outstanding!
This was such a cool hunt.thank you clay for letting the world come with you on such a life changing hunt . And showing what it means to be a true woodsman.
God bless you, Clay Newcomb.
Love seeing sponsored by Work Sharp!! Absolutely a great company. I own several of their sharpeners. And have had nothing but great things with them as well as their customer service.
I listened to the podcast when it came out and was completely blown away by it and now we have this video and it’s amazing. Thanks for putting this out there. Good work and great job!
This show is so much more interesting and entertaining than watching your standard guy shoot a whitetail in a cornfield. Keep up the good work.
I'm not surprised, but extremely impressed that the head did not break inside the bear. The idea that you can reuse your stone arrowheads is awesome. I used to make my own bows and arrows when I was a kid, and often the heads would snap on something hard, but I never had the chance to hunt real game with them. This such a great video! God Bless*
Great Episode. That's a hunt you'll never forget. Also if I'd been in a blind that close to multiple bears I don't think anything could have kept the smell down. 😵
Yall need to give the hunt primitive KZhead channel a show
Man Clay, that was OUTSTANDING!!! A perfect shot, shot perfectly! Great job to you for telling the story, and the camera man for capturing it.
Grew up in Arizona we’d find arrow heads and pottery all the time. Went to school with Navajo kids are fry bread. Good times out there! 💪🇺🇸💯
It’s rad how fast that kill shot happened, trad bow stone point So cool, it really doesn’t get any better. Nice job clay keep ‘em coming.
Clay, thank you. Beautiful episode. Mysterious America. Never ceases to amaze.
Amazing!!!!! Very very well done with this episode. They are all awesome, but this one just hit different. LOVE IT!!
That's awesome! Done thousands of years ago and today, we still honor and practice those traditions
Strong work, Clay (and Meateater)! Love the podcast and this might be even better!
Loved every minute of this episode. Hope to see more like it.
Been to the Folsom museum twice, glad to see such a well done film on the subject. Please continue this work Clay, there's a lot of stories out there that could benefit from your talents.
Thank you for this! I have been so curious about the Folsom site since listening to the podcast. To see the site on this episode was amazing and only makes me want to visit that much more. This series is so far great, can’t wait for more.
Bear Grease Roadshow has been fantastic so far!
Amazing video, thank y’all for the amazing inspiration and hope y’all bring to the outdoors community .
Great work, Clay! I was fascinated by the BG Folsom podcast series. Capturing the history and implementing it today is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Please renew this series for a second season. Love Clay's in depth dives into these subjects!
My favorite meateater KZhead video ever! Awesome work, Mr. Newcomb! And awesome work to the crew, as well!
Hard to put into words how amazing of a show this was! I have discribed my hunting to others as something that awakens and fulfills me at a DNA level, that its something I am *supposed* to be doing as a human. This episode captured that feeling.
Amazing man. Thanks for taking us along. I hunt and collect artifacts myself..... awesome to see them used.
This mini series is great. I really appreciate the level of detail and work you put in to making this hunt successful, and more importantly I appreciate the effort you put in to telling the history behind all of this. This is my favorite episode of anything that meateater has put out. Really enjoying your new series so far Clay!
Great video Mr Clay, very well edited and composed. Keep up those old traditions
that bear scared the shit out of me when it came around the corner! great shot and composure
The dichotomy between ancient hunting techniques/equipment with the ear tag on the bear is nothing short of poetic.
What a brilliantly told story!!
Probably the best primitive hunt I’ve ever seen fantastic work my friend
One of the best videos I've watched on KZhead in a long timeb
Outstanding. That's cool you had Tony Soares make you some points! I've rewatched that portion where you remove the point and I can't spot any damage. Very cool.
Well done Clay! All-around this was great. From the Folsom site, to the museum, to the knapping, to the hunt, this was extremely well done.
Great work Clay. Thank you Meat Eater for producing this series.
What an incredible video. I’ve been a fan of the podcast for awhile now but.. this is beyond.
HOLY SH#@!!! 🤯 Dude, that was SO FAST!😲 Props, on the kill and DAAAAAAMN on the whole hunt and stalk....not to mention the patience!!! PROPS MAN PROPS!👊😎 This was nuthin short of takin it back to the "ol days" AND bringing it to the now and proper. This is what hunting is down to the bare bones. Plz keep this series coming, not only for myself, but for further generations to come. Peace✌😎(salute👊😑)
This is amazing. Meateater is killing, as always, but clay is coming into his own.
Meateater: a channel so good even the extremists against hunting don't talk crap.
Love your work Clay. Please make many more of these videos!
Love the new series tying everything in with the podcast. Great job Clay!
Steve your lucky man to have such a badass work for you!
Absolutely love this episode. I relate to this so much. Had to watch it twice
Prolly one of the coolest videos on KZhead
Bear Grease is my favorite podcast. It’s awesome to see the faces that I’ve heard so many times and get some extra information in each topic
C'est complètement génial ! Le concept est merveilleux, merci les gars !! 💪
Tony does some amazing work
Great job Clay. The Folsom series was one of my favorite on the podcast. So great to have a visual of it now.
I loved the podcast about the Folsom points and George. Watching this took it to another level.
