  • Progressive hunting podcast

    Can’t believe they are giving a voice to anti cop BLM voices like Hawk. Supporting ideas that is against the essential truths that all men are created equal. Very disappointed at this left turn… what’s next gun control?!?!?

  • Blood Origins is what we need

    Robbie and crew do a great job of bringing us the truth and science supporting hunting. They are exactly the team we need on our side right now.

    Non-hunters are well informed and educated on hunting by these well spoken individuals on sensitive topics!

    And hunters are enthusiastic about their message as well.

  • Best Hunting Podcast!

    Without a single doubt the Blood Origins podcast has been the best podcast I’ve listened to! Not just because of compelling stories but because of Robbie’s amazing way of giving us a glimpse into the hunting world as people not just products. He doesn’t just highlight these wonderful creatures we outdoors people care so deeply about, he brings to life the work, the passion and the love of each and every animal, person and the lands that hold them. Time and again I have had my personal perspectiv... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Flashback - Carlo & Hugo Engelbrecht | Rhino Wars
Q: What's the solution here?
Carlo calls for more resources and capacity in the justice system, sustained funding and a way to make live rhinos economically valuable. He supports regulated horn sales and sustainable hunting as potential sources of conservation revenue, alongside strong security and preparation for increased poaching.
Flashback - Carlo & Hugo Engelbrecht | Rhino Wars
Q: Can you just paint the picture? Because obviously, you are a rhino owner. Paint a picture for why somebody doesn't want rhinos today.
Carlo explains that owners face costly security demands, weak enforcement and poachers using advanced equipment. A rhino herd can attract attacks on the property, while falling animal values make the investment harder to sustain.
Episode 679 | Eat More Horse | Jamila Jaxaliyeva
Q: So if you had your druthers, and you had a magic wand, and you look at America right now, what would you do?
Jaxaliyeva would give tribal communities more influence, revise the Wild Horse and Burros Act, and allow horse processing as one tool for managing horse populations. She argues that adoptions alone cannot absorb the number of horses and that existing holding programs are costly.
Episode 679 | Eat More Horse | Jamila Jaxaliyeva
Q: What brings you from Kazakhstan to Wyoming, which is where you are right now?
After working in Kazakhstan's livestock sector, Jaxaliyeva moved to the United States for graduate study at Yale. A field trip introduced her to Wyoming ranching and wild horse issues, and she later returned to work in conservation and livestock.
Flashback: The Dark Numbers Of Poaching In The U.S.
Q: Who poaches the most?
Gassett says the study had not yet determined regional or state-level rates, but whitetail deer were the most common in the data he reviewed, largely because they are widespread and accessible.
