@@Hein690 exactly. in terms of ethics trapping is lazy at best. AK is not his to decide to take away natural animals that have been there before any of us and the world needs to respect that if you want to kill wolves, take the time to put your safety in jeopardy and take them with a rifle. the ignorance of trapping is gross but what can you do. stupid people exist in large quantities
Predator hunting or trapping can be controversial. It’s strange how the level of controversy can be predator specific. The Meateater organization does a good job of explaining the situation. Thanks for not shying away from the subject. In addition the camera work and editing showing that gorgeous and unique country was exceptional. Thank you for documenting and sharing the story!
@@riverratriverrat2638It’s a shame, wolves need manadgement rather than annihilation. It’s ridiculous the government can’t see this and allow hunters to keep a balance.
Clay came off as arrogant and rude. "No Wolf." Do you think you have to freaking say that in outfitters face 100 times? I would take your ass back home, rude MFer.
I was on my way to a wrestling tournament and I got the chance to meet clay on his way to this hunt, very very nice guy and it was super cool to meet him. It’s cool to see this video come full circle. I’m glad he enjoyed the part of Alaska I live in, looks like he got the whole southeast Alaska experience! Great video!
I truly enjoy listening to and watching clay. Idk what it is but he get me interested in things i thought I wouldn’t. I wished I had more teachers like him growing up.
Yup, the two Clays make Meateater top tier!! Homegrown, honest, and entertaining. Rinella needs to get his running shoes on to keep ahead of those guys!!
Last year I spent two and a half months in SE AK , 5 weeks consecutively aboard a power troller fishing for salmon. These views bring back memories. Alaska is such a wild and beautiful place. While I was there, I visited Le Conte glacier. Video does not do it justice. It a very powerful and moving experience for sure.
I got a wolf while deer hunting this past season. The camera man captured Clay’s reaction perfectly. I was immediately drawn to the paws also. It was a surreal experience I felt gratitude and some remorse initially but was affirmed that it was ok from my hunting mentors. There is no closed season, no bag limit where I live. I see wolf highways in the snow; often out numbering the amount of deer and moose tracks I see in certain areas.
Man I actually had tears,but for multiple reasons,because they are detrimental and because they are dangerous and because they kill actual food for humans but also because they are so beautiful and amazing animals!!!Such a beautiful thing you guys do!!!Great work!
Great video guys as always! I hope the state of Washington opens it soon! I am a tribal member of the Colville reservation here in Washington and we have been doing our best to manage them since our tribe has opened wolf hunting/trapping. Wish you all good health and happiness
This looks like so much fun. We use to hunt wolves in the LA area but instead of wolves they were domestics dogs and instead of guns we just drove over them with our cars. Super exciting and happy hunting!!! Glad to see your keeping the tradition alive in Alaska.
Anyone that hunts or traps, never want to see that animal disappear... People who never hunt or trap, will never understand that people that do.. really are the ones that help
Well done, Clay. A lot may disagree, but I believe the work you are doing with Steve and the Meateater team is beneficial to all hunters. And I hope it will help to keep us hunting for years to come...
I'm a Newcombe from Toronto!!! Not everyday you meet/find another Newcomb(e). Met one dude from Leeds England and discovered we had the same birthday!!! that was crazy and there is a Sean Newcomb in the MLB right now , pitcher for Oakland. Now Clay...good to have found you. I'll be watching for sure
I really like the way you put that last line n the video. It makes a lot of sense and I think both sides of the wolf argument can see where u are coming from. Awesome video
Clay Newcomb is my Hero, Thank you for the amazing American Legends and content. How beautiful this world we inhabit must be through his eyes and these Adventures!
Wolf conservation is even something I, as a wildlife conservationist struggle with. With that being said, I know it’s necessary in certain parts of the country, especially Southeast Alaska. Most people don’t understand how difficult predator hunting and trapping can be. I appreciate Meateater and Clay going into a bit of detail about these topics.
I don’t think anyone likes killing them but many of us have seen what they can do if left unchecked. there is no balance in nature , the wolves will breed and eat everything on site until they eventually run out of food and slowly Starve . After their numbers drop the game animals slowly come back until the cycle repeats again
@@davidcolon7540 agreed. I’ve personally seen it. It’s a tough call to put one down when called out to do so. But it’s definitely necessary. It’s why I live in the Southeast now and only deal with small predators.
@@justinwilliamson5500 Good episode, but as a journalist and someone always hungry for more info, I am with you on "the bit of detail" they went into. Yes, Clay is great and the visuals stunning but there really wasn't enough context for my taste and needs on the subject. I learned more from just these comments three right here than I did from the video.
When Dave said “You got another one, you’re pretty good at this” gave me a good laugh lol. Great video Clay, your home is beautiful Dave and you’re a hell of an outdoorsman 🙏🏼
Love Clay, what a truly wild place. To have 200 miles of trapping seems like a huge area, to access by boat no less. I'd love to see how these guys treat a fur during the initial trip out of the woods
Interesting look into a tough trapline. I appreciate that Clay isn't spewing any anti-wolf hate. Apex carnivores are needed on the landscape and they aren't the only reason ungulates have decreased in some areas. Let's find ways to live on the same landscape. Oh, and can we please get a video with Ryan and Clay together? They are my favorite down to Earth MeatEater personalities. Cheers!
@@Makrel94 Gin trap? You must not be an American? We call them a foothold trap. They are not what tv makes them out to be. A modern foothold trap for wolves is The same foothold trap we use for beaver. There are no serrated teeth on them. I have had my hand in them and it is no big deal. No cutting or broken bones from the trap. Trappers take care to make sure their traps are ethical and humane just the same as when we hunt and fish.
@@drsnooker1776 I don’t think that has any truth to it my guy.. When steve-o put his arm in one, it certainly seemed like it was quite alot worse than a “tight wedding ring”
Interesting to see everyone’s comments. I hunt. Not out of necessity but more because it connects me more to nature. As a hunter I’ve seen and understand more about the balance of nature than any non hunter will ever understand. Hunting is our biological right regardless of how someone might feel about the necessity of it. I never hear the protests when new neighborhoods irreversibly destroy wild life habitat. As a hunter every time see land developed I fully understand that the life it supported is gone forever. If you truly care about ALL of the natural world you should redirect your passion and start to protest urban sprawl. That’s the biggest negative impact to nature caused by humans.
What an awesome surreal experience. I am a hunter and trapper myself and what I would not give to experience what I saw on this show in real life. I am envy of you guys.
Great video! I love and yet fear the wolf. I believe we can all coexist in the right way. This was a great viewpoint for conservation of both wolves and deer.
im from south america, dont have big game aorund here, but have watch all the videos of this channel , still this one broke my heart, i dont criticize but damn
Real good to watch, love the life these boys live, fishing, hunting, trapping. I know I am conflicted about taking the life of an animal like a wolf or bear, but I don’t disagree at all with the sentiments and Dave’s reasons for participating. Good luck to both men, I hope the upcoming seining season is a good one for dave.
This is an excellent video about wolves and trapping. As a trapper here in N. Idaho and having seen the impact they have on our elk, deer and moose, it is rewarding to help keep things in balance. We will never get rid of all of our wolves here and don't want to either. They are an amazing animal, just like the others we have.
I completely understand the necessity of keeping wolf populations in check. My conflict comes from two things: the first is that they look so much like my dogs that it's hard for me to want to pull the trigger on them (or coyotes, here in SW WI). The second comes from the fact that the meat isn't really utilized. And that is massively hypocritical of me because I do trap beaver and muskrat, both of which are edible, and I do not use the meat for that. I usually use muskrat for mink bait -- also not edible -- and beaver I give to a guy who's dogs love it. Being human is an exercise in hypocrisy. This episode was real cool, and congrats to Clay and David on a successful trap check.
I look at it like this. Most people kill a deer and throw away the bones, glands, and fur and only keep the antlers, meat and maybe a cape and skull. Wolves you can use the fur, skull, and glands and you throw away the meat and most of the bones.
Awesome scenery! Interesting to see land management practices in Alaska. Hearing the technical details of setting traps reminded me of Clark McGhie's Wild Country videos on UA-cam. He sets traps to control wild dogs in Australia.
Hearing the guide use the phrase “down here” when referring to moose hunting in the area caught me off guard 😂 every time I think Alaska it’s “up there” What a cool place. Hope I get the opportunity to go some day. Thanks for sharing with us!
It was nice hearing some insight from a fellow Wolf hunter (David) - Also I believe his theory is the same here in North west Ontario... These Wolf numbers seem to climb every year & we continue to see more & more of them. After taking 5 Wolves myself just by sitting over a bait pile... a trapper where I am could easily get a pack of 12 & keep setting traps to get more... Just seems like they multiply the moment you remove 1 from the pack. 2 years back we counted 12 Wolf pups in one pack alone - This is a pack that we bait so the survival rate of those pups is darn near 100% at that point... When this pack lights up howling, its like an orcestra!!!
Southeast alaska might be the coolest place to watch. I could literally just watch all of meateaters videos if it was just southeast. He should also do a show on bigfoot in southeast. Definitely a place I hear about and could see them living there
I agree these animals need close management, but it was a tough episode to watch....even as a hunter. Something about seeing these big boys go down is hard to watch.
No need to be rude. I said I was a hunter, and I am more than conditioned to killing and gutting. These wolves are just more majestic is all. Take a stress tab. @@SG-ig2th
Great story of part of the eco systems in the great and vast Alaska. South East Alaska is a gem of its own. The beauty yet ruggedness of the land,the Weather, the waters,the people and the predators is a very fine balance of survival. Reverent and respect full management makes the whole experience of Alaska, Alaska. To learn more of wolf's in Alaska, I would recommend the Book Frank Glasser, The Wolf man of Alaska.
Really nice to see you using good management tools. Unfortunately large animal traps are banned in England and used the correct way they are very effective. Thanks for a great watch.
Well.. I guess Clay is going to have to move to Alaska!😂 Great job MeatEater family! Growing up a stone’s throw away from where this was filmed I appreciate the knowledge and understanding of the wolf population in that region and the effects it has on other species. 👍👍from me.
It is weird that people have this preconceived notion that predators are somehow these cute cuddly woodland creatures. But if you ask them about deer elk sheep ect they really don’t give a damn. It’s wild to me they believe what they’re told and not what they see
When I deer hunt in Oklahoma, my favorite part of the day is early in the evening when a couple of packs of coyotes start howling at one another. Then in the morning, usually after I am in the deer stand is the same coyotes howling. It is just beautiful
Meat Eater Team! Watch this cinematic beauty that undoubtedly is some of the finest content ever put out by meateater, then watch that pig video with the element guys. This end puts hunters in a more positive light and is content anyone can enjoy whether they hunt or not.
Clay perfectly voices the majority of hunters opinions on game management. Thanks Meateater for bringing Clay to the masses.
His humbleness is great. This episode with Steve wouldn't have hit as hard
amazing way ua-cam.com/video/zAUAcILiOYE/v-deo.html
you're delusional if you think how he voices is perfect. you're so far from truth and reality
I wouldn't say opinions on conservation. I describe it on "facts" of conservation. Wolves need management. Period
@@skate5930 Why?
Seeing Clay get all confused over kelp gave me a chuckle. Not a lot of bull kelp in Arkansas

He's wearing his new First Lite 😂 Looks good, great camo for down south.
Completely unnecessary in this country
Does look like an alien to me so I would react the same
Cracked me up too.
We get the same stuff in Victoria Australia big white sharks in it hunting seals
The respect these guys show for the wild places and things is so far from todays norm . Just so refreshing. No bloodlust, no ego, just respect.
