  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 600 - Solutions For Madikwe?
Q: So clearly, immunocontraception is, under these circumstances, the best objective?
That is absolutely not true; with 1,600 elephants right now, the logistics of contracepting a population are quite astronomical.
Episode 600 - Solutions For Madikwe?
Q: Would you, I mean, one of the most important things or perhaps the sort of beginning point one must establish is are there too many elephant in the Madikwe National Park?
The current scientific consensus is no; there is no basis for drawing that conclusion at this time.
Roundup 161 || Weekly Roundup with Ashlee Smith and CSF's Fred Bird
Q: What is your take on the government shutdown and its implications for wildlife conservation?
The government shutdown has significant implications, as it impacts funding and access to conservation services, affecting outdoor activities and maintenance of lands.
Episode 598 - Hawk Newsome || Civil Rights & Guns
Q: Can you just talk a little bit about that?
Hawk talks about taking people out for firearms training and the importance of knowing how to handle guns safely.
Episode 595 - Richard York || Delisting Bontebok At CITES
Q: What are the four threats to the Bontebok population?
The biggest threats include limited optimal habitat, small fragmented populations, low genetic variation within the natural distribution range, and hybridization with Blessboks.
