  • 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.

Episode 669 - Kristie Gill | From Anti-Hunting To Pro-Hunting
Q: What changed your mind about hunting and conservation the most?
Reading the Conservation Game book and then observing real-world management on hunting lands showed me that landscape-level conservation and sustainable use can work together, which challenged my zoo-based, animal-welfare-first mindset.
Episode 662 - Ducks Unlimited on the US Fish & Wildlife Proposed Wetland Drainage Rule Change
Q: Could you explain why the 2024 rule is important for landowners and for protection of easements?
The rule provides clear, site-specific guidance that protects the easements while offering safe-harbor protections if calculations are off, thereby maintaining the 1.5 million acres of protected wetlands.
Episode 662 - Ducks Unlimited on the US Fish & Wildlife Proposed Wetland Drainage Rule Change
Q: Mike, tell us your official title and background.
I am a senior waterfowl scientist with Ducks Unlimited, with nearly 21 years in the field and broad experience across geographies and flyways.
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.
