On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by Clint Stout, a lifelong Pennsylvania hunter who grew up immersed in the tradition of bear camp. Clint shares a deep well of experience—from understanding food cycles like chestnut oak, grapes, and hickories, to interpreting how bears shift patterns with weather, pressure, and seasonal changes. He and Mitch explore why bear hunting requires a different mindset than deer hunting, and how woodsmanship, patience, and miles of boot leather make all the difference in deciphering this elusive animal. Their conversation dives into terrain reading, the randomness of bear movement, and the surprising intelligence of mature boars that seem to melt into the landscape.The episode also turns toward the culture of Pennsylvania bear hunting—its camaraderie, its generational stories, and how modern hunting dynamics have shifted the feel of camp. Clint and Mitch reflect on how pressures such as expanded seasons, societal pace, and changing traditions have altered the rhythm of bear camp, and why preserving that atmosphere matters. Whether you're a lifelong bear hunter or someone curious about what makes this season so special, this episode captures the rugged spirit, challenges, and heartfelt heritage of Pennsylvania’s bear woods.
