  • 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.

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.

Episode 651 - The Metapopulation Initiative || A New Beginning
Q: Why expand to open systems and beyond cheetahs?
Open systems allow cheetah populations to move naturally across landscapes, which reduces density pressures in fenced reserves and aligns conservation with economic viability and humanitarian needs; the team believes this approach will scale across other regions and species as the program matures.
Episode 651 - The Metapopulation Initiative || A New Beginning
Q: What is The Metapopulation Initiative and why was it formed?
The Metapopulation Initiative is a structured effort to manage disconnected cheetah populations, expanding the focus from fenced reserves to landscape-scale open systems, driven by Vincent's vision and continued by three directors to realize broader, multi-country conservation goals.
