About this episode
Back in the early 1800s, the Mississippi Delta was a seething hardwood wilderness unrivaled by anything until you reached the redwoods. And it was in this environment that Robert Eager Bobo and company plied their skills, reputedly killing over 300 bears in a single year - plus a whole lot more. Who was Bobo, where'd he live? How'd they hunt bear back then? How famous were Bobo's hounds and what became of them? What was the preferred weapon of choice in ancient canebrakes? Mississippi historian and outdoor writer, James McCafferty, and Ramsey Russell have a great time discussing these and other topics in today's episode of Duck Season Somewhere podcast.
