Episode 490 - Kill Or Save Bambi Jul 23, 2024

Show notes

William Reyntiens is a Belgian hunter who Robbie met on one of his recent adventures, staying at his house during a project for Bergara. William is a volunteer with the “Sauvon Bambi aka Saving Bambi” project in Belgium. This conservation project is funded by Bergara International Fund, where Robbie and the Blood Origins crew are helping out as a way to push back on the bambification of wildlife and hunters and correct that damage by rescuing deer fawns in Belgium. It’s an incredible project, one where hunters are working shoulder to shoulder with non-hunters to save baby deer fawns from farmers hay cutting blades as they cut hayfields that they are hiding in.

Episode 489 - Gary Pusateri || Gene Sequencing Of CWD? Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Dr. Gary Pusateri M.D., is trying something a little out of the ordinary. Himself and business partners have founded a company called Dream Genomics - it's a company that is interested in using gene sequencing to allow early detection of human diseases. He is also a hunter, and was approached by friends and colleagues and was asked the question if you can do it for humans could you do it for animals - i.e, can you use blood to detect the early signs of animal based diseases like Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)? This conversation dives into that possibility and more.

Episode 488 - Niklas Gustafson || Raw Milk, Sunshine, And Hunting? Jul 16, 2024

Show notes

Niklas Gustafson, a Swedish health and lifestyle influencer living in Spain, joins Robbie to talk about his mission to educate the public about healthy living and debunk myths surrounding a healthful lifestyle. Robbie got wind of Niklas becuase he posted a series of videos of him hunting in Nambia with his sons. Naturally Robbie was curious - the whole premise of the IG page was health, there was no signs that he hunted, but yet here he was posting about hunting. So naturally we wanted to ask him why? Why he hunts, why he was comfortable posting the videos of him hunting etc.?

Roundup 128 || Lions And Bears And Jim Inglis! Jul 15, 2024

Show notes

Robbie, Ashlee, and guest (and Farm Bill expert) Jim Inglis discuss the farm bill and its impact on conservation and hunting, the ongoing controversies surrounding “cougar” (if you’re team Ashlee) or “mountain lion” (if you’re team Robbie) hunting in Washington, Utah, and Colorado, an update on a podcast regarding hunting regulations for grizzlies in Alberta and Alaska by Blood Origins Canada, and the status of caribou populations. The crew also gives an update on the upcoming Lionheart film premiere taking place at the Paramount Theater in Denver (we’re still looking for sponsors!). The conversation then shifts to the decline of caribou populations and the lack of scientific evidence supporting the need for predator control.

Episode 486 - Meg Day || “I Understand Hunting But Still Don’t Like It” Jul 09, 2024

Show notes

Meg Day, Social Media Manager for the organization known as VETPAW, joins Robbie for exactly the type of conversation we get jazzed up about at Blood Origins. Meg was introduced to us by Adrian from Buffalo Kloof and suggested she would be a great person to connect with and have a conversation with. VETPAW has been involved in conservation related efforts at BuffaloKloof, and Meg got to see the operation and the role that hunting plays in that conservation success. Meg started out as a vehement anti-hunter and, though she now understands hunting, still may not like it. And that’s okay! From growing up with a mother who is a ‘huge animal lover’ and being a vegetarian since the age of 14 to today, learn about her journey in wildlife conservation and how she has come to her understanding with hunters and hunting.

Episode 485 - Natalie Krebs || Imagine You Saw This In Your Decoy Spread! Jul 04, 2024

Show notes

Natalie Krebs, Executive Editor of Outdoor Life, catches up with Robbie about her recent jaunt (halfway around the world!) to Australia. She has never been to Australia and went to to understand the duck hunting issues affecting Victoria, Australia. What she found was in her words "shocking". Robbie and Natalie go into discussion about how activists are jumping in the water and sitting ten meters off the decoy spread in kayaks in attempts to spook ducks in one of the most aggressive displays of anti-hunting extremism in the world and recounts her first-hand experience in this craziness. For more information around this topic read what Natalie wrote here https://www.outdoorlife.com/hunting/australia-duck-season/ and additionally listen to the Outdoor Life Podcast that Natalie did here https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/australia-has-an-anti-hunter-problem-and-the-u-s/id1560573207?i=1000659536694

Episode 484 - Natalie Eva Marie || PETA Made Me A Hunter Jul 02, 2024

Show notes

Today Natalie Eva Marie will tell you she is a hunter. She will also confidently and truthfully tell you that PETA made her a hunter. PETA even commented on one of the very first posts she put out about her incredible harvest. If you don’t know who Natalie is you may know her from connection with the WWE and Professional Wrestling Diva career. Natalie joins Robbie to talk about her conversion to hunting and what it was like to expose her 6.5 million followers online to hunters, when the vast majority of them do NOT hunt. Natalie is exactly the kind of person that hunting needs - someone who doesn’t look like your typical hunter, has a very clear idea of why she decided to become a hunter, and respects the pursuit and the wildlife involved in it. If you are on the fence about hunting or have a negative perception around hunting I would suggest listening to this podcast.

Show notes

Ashlee is starting to get the hang of the new role as the co-host of the Blood Origins Round-up, she even made a cucumber infused Cathead Vodka drink that would have made Cody drool. Robbie and Ashlee talk about some cool Conservation Club members like Grayl and a new one Glacier Guides Inc., Robbie asks Ashlee if she would eat Zebra meat given South Africa's new biodiversity strategy, they highlight how cool the Iberian Lynx recovery is and how it’s tied to hunting. They also talk about "NamaSteve" and "consumptive vs. non-consumptive" yoga and finally what tourism looks like in the Masai Mara in Kenya and whether thats natural? Big podcast, lots of topics.
