This is an iHeart podcast. [upbeat music] Guaranteed human Hey, it's Clay Newcomb here from Bear Grease, and I wanna tell you about my new 12 in '26 film presented by Moultrie and onX.
Speaker 10:13
These are 12 of MeatEater's biggest and baddest hunts from the last year that are gonna be released through 2026. These are long form episodes, or what I call films, so you're gonna get more of what you love. My film will take us into the deep and cold, rugged country of southwest Utah on a lion hunt with hounds, where we traveled over 80 miles in five days on mules. But the best part, I'm hunting with the legendary lion hunting family, the Meekams, but also one of the country's top mule men, Ty Evans. This is about mules and lions. This is the kinda place where winter hangs on tight and every track in the snow tells a story. If you've ever wondered what it's like to pursue a mountain lion in big country on mule back, then this is the episode for you. Check it out now on the MeatEater YouTube channel, and be on the lookout for more 12 in '26 in the coming months.
