While Robbie was making his way through South Australia and Victoria, he connected with team members of Field and Game Australia throughout Victoria. Robbie is joined by Trent Leen, the Conservation Director of the Geelong Field and Game Branch—similar to his counterpart (and previous guest) Graeme Wall. The Geelong Branch has a storied history in Field and Game, and Trent joins on location from the wetland his family donated to the headquarters of Field and Game. He discusses his history and passion for ducks, his heritage, and why this is about more than just shooting ducks for him.

Graeme Wall, the Conservation Director of the Rushworth Field and Game Branch of Field and Game Australia, is an enigma. We first learned about Graeme and his branch last year and celebrated all the things they do for conservation because they love to duck hunt. During Robbie's tour down under, he managed to stop in and see Graeme in Rushworth. Graeme joined Robbie on the podcast to discuss his tiny little town of just 1,000 people in the middle of nowhere—Victoria, Australia—and his role as the spear tip of conservation in his community. The two discuss Rushworth's rural success in conservation, all recorded on location in the middle of an Australian wetland in the middle of nowhere (check out the YouTube video).

Returning guest, sponsor, and CEO of Silencer Central, Brandon Maddox, sits down with Robbie at Silencer Central HQ in Sioux Falls, SD, during their 20th anniversary celebration to talk about the past, present, and future of silencers. From humble beginnings selling them face-to-face out of the back of his car to becoming the largest seller of silencers in the world—and sharing things you may not know about their 20-year run and achieving the American dream—this podcast dives into some little-known territory about the brand and the man behind it, Brandon Maddox.

Wicus Diedericks, owner of Rockwood Conservation, dropped a bomb on the rhino conservation world on Friday, when a court ruled that he can trade in rhino horn (devil is in the details). It's not quite that simple, but the ruling stated that the CITES exemption for conservation-bred rhinos is part of South African law - i.e., he should legally be able to get an export permit for horns that have been dehorned from his herd. This is huge news for rhino conservation and potentially the legal mechanism by which rhino horn can be purchased by the east and the Middle East. This is absolutely breaking news, with this court decision occurring last Friday. We do not know the extent of the implications of the court ruling, we do know the MEC of the Northern Cape has 7 days to respond to the issuance of the export permit. We also know that in 2 1/2 weeks CITES COP starts in Uzbekistan and this will be the talk of the town there!

In celebration of National Bison Day (November 1st), Jon Flocchini, the generational farmer of the Durham Bison Ranch, joins Robbie to give a State of the Union on bison in the U.S. All Jon knows is bison, and he dives deep into the state of these iconic American mammals and the practices it takes to keep a herd of these majestic animals thriving for over a century. If you have been fascinated by bison or are interested in learning more, then this is the podcast for you.

When one thinks of poaching, the mind often turns to Africa—snares, and people involved in the illegal bushmeat trade. Few would think of poaching occurring in the United States of America. Boone and Crockett Club President Tony Schoonen and researcher Jon Gassett join Robbie to talk about the Club's new Poach and Pay program. This enormous undertaking to understand poaching in the U.S. revealed a massive “dark number” of poachers—and what that means for the landscapes and lifestyles we love. It's an incredibly fascinating episode where you'll learn the data and science behind the true impact of poaching in the U.S. today, what motivates it, and what steps can be taken to combat its staggering scale. This is the kind of podcast you'll definitely be talking about with your colleagues around the water cooler—or the coffee pot—in the morning.

The beauty of The Origins Foundation podcast is that you have no idea who we are going to speak with or what topic we'll be exploring. If you look around the world at the hunting community and how we try to communicate that lifestyle to those who don't hunt, a simple message that resonates is one around food. From the Australian outback to the woods of Mississippi to the inner city of London in the United Kingdom, food is a powerful messaging tool. Robbie is joined by UK chefs and members of the Eat Wild UK scene, Leon Challis-Davies and Sanjay Bhattacharya, to talk about the burgeoning wild game scene in the UK and some amazing recipes and resources that Eat Wild UK is providing for people to enjoy. This isn't your typical dove popper cuisine, but rather high-end dishes that will make your taste buds salivate just hearing about them.

When you think of wildlife and biodiversity conservation in this world, the most fundamental element of wildlife conservation is habitat. In North America, the most imperiled habitat ecosystem we have is grasslands. Ted Koch, the Executive Director of the North American Grouse Partnership, joins Robbie to discuss grouse, grasslands, the Great Prairie Chicken, and how we can protect this critical type of habitat that is dwindling away here in America. It's an insightful look into something you may not know much about, and as such, you can arm yourself with information.

You have seen lots of recent discussions, talking heads, and articles about Madikwe, a nature reserve in the North West Province of South Africa, and its elephant dilemma. The Origins Foundation is firmly positioned to talk and deliver an understanding of the system from a practical conservation perspective. Robbie was forwarded a podcast radio spot in which a non-hunting economics professor was asked to bring his ecological perspectives to bear on the Madikwe situation. The interview was very biased and unfortunately didn't have a voice from the sustainable use lobby, so we decided to bring our own voice to the table. Robbie reacts in this special episode to the radio/podcast interview titled “An Atrocity Planned in Madikwe.” Robbie plays the podcast for you and gives you an unscripted response to what he is hearing and gives his opinion on this Madikwe controversy.

Robbie connects with Corina Jordan, the new CEO of the Game Animal Council of New Zealand—a statutory authority that provides advice to the Minister of Hunting and Fishing in New Zealand (currently the Honorable James Meager, who was a recent guest on the show as well)—to talk about herds of special interest and other exciting developments in New Zealand hunting. New Zealand is an incredible hunting landscape, facing many of the same issues as other hunting communities, but also holding unique opportunities to truly cement a hunting legacy—from the Sika to the Wapiti herd—and to establish the critical management plans needed for the future.

Your favorite short truths series are back. The short truths are a short pieces of information that you can listen to, digest, and talk about. Today's Short Truths question is, “What animals have quotas in South Africa?” And the answer is not what you've been told. Most animals belong to the owner of the land based on law and certificates of adequate enclosure. However, other animals have different rules. The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment (DFFE, as it is called colloquially) hasn't actually issued a quota for black rhino, elephant or leopard in South Africa since 2021. What happened in 2021? DFFE was taken to court by Humane Society International - and two full years later, the case was thrown out by a judge. Find out from Robbie all about the quota process and the goings-on there in this Short Truths episode. Do you have questions we can answer?

Sean Kilkenny, advocacy lead for the Australian Deer Association, joins the podcast to talk about the huge hunter-opportunity wins they are fighting for right now—opening up two massive national parks for hunter access. Australia is not known for racking up wins when it comes to hunting and is, honestly, a country where hunters are even more “on the back foot” than in the U.S. or even Europe. This is a big deal. Listen in to learn how these brave activists achieved it—and how you might replicate their success where you are.

Richard York, CEO of Wildlife Ranching South Africa (WRSA), joins Robbie to talk about WRSA's proposal to delist the bontebok—an endemic species to South Africa—at CITES. Following a non-detrimental finding submitted to the South African government, the government took up the mantle to remove the bontebok from Appendix II and manage the population through hunting. This proposal is a critical one, as it will be the first voted on at CITES (votes occur alphabetically) and has no reason not to be approved—except if politics and anti-use organizations play their respective games.

Pieter Swart, the President of the South Africa Taxidermy and Tanners Association, joins Robbie this week to discuss a recent proposal by the organization to delist giraffes from Appendix II protections. This proposal and its science were put forward to the DFFE (Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment) in South Africa, and the governmental agency has agreed and has moved the proposal forward to be reviewed, discussed, and voted on at the CITES COP in November in Uzbekistan. There is no reason this proposal shouldn't be adopted and approved by CITES. The science is there, CITES requirements have been met, and the proposal is going forward. At CITES, the requirement to pass is a two-thirds majority vote—which is the political gamesmanship of South Africa up against a global political machine to fight for the science.

Returning guest—archaeologist, anthropologist, and historian (basically a knower of all things)—Paul Hubbard joins Robbie to discuss the history of the ivory trade. This is an incredibly important podcast, as it's the first we know of that truly seeks to tease apart the amount of ivory exported from African shores throughout recent history. They delve into painstaking historical detail about the trade over the years to examine the question often posed by anti-hunters: whether hunters stand to kill off all the “big tuskers” in Africa. So listen in and get the historical evidence to the contrary—some of the figures in this podcast will change your perspective on ivory and, hopefully, get you thinking about what could be driving the occurrence of big ivory in Africa.

While Robbie was in Zululand starting to film a docu-series on rhinos, sustainable use of rhinos and all of the controversy around the trade in rhino horns, the team was fortunate enough to witness a couple of Rhino dehornings. The vet that performed the dehornings was Mike Toft, a wildlife veterinarian out of Kwazulu, Natel. A 30-year vet (no pun intended) of the wildlife veterinarian game, he has seen it all when it comes to rhino conservation. Robbie and Mike got together right after a recent dehorning by Mike of two rhinos that he'd darted from a helicopter less than an hour before the recording began. Mike recalls dehorning over 4,000 rhinos, and has arguably dehorned more rhino horns than anybody else in the world. Apologies for any shaking you hear in the background because Robbie and Mike recorded the podcast in Mike's vehicle as they were traveling between two dehornings.

Cullen Kelly is one of the brothers now in charge of Garry Kelly Safaris. Garry Kelly Safaris (or GKS) is one of the oldest safari companies in South Africa, and Garry Kelly, Cullen's Dad, is one of the original stalwart professional hunters in South Africa (he was involved in the very first Rhino hunt with Ian Player in Zululand). Robbie and Cullen connected on the banks of the Mkuze River, as Robbie and The Origins Foundation team were working on a Rhino documentary. Mkuze Falls is a private, community held conservancy, that has the big five and is a poster child for what wildlife conservation can be like in South Africa. These critical private reserves do amazing things for wildlife conservation, rhinos, lions and more, and the wildlife and communities owning it are all benefitting from it.  Get to know the guest: https://www.youtube.com/c/CullenKelly Do you have questions we can answer?

John Luyt is one of the professional hunters that works in the APNR - the Associated Private Nature Reserves of the Kruger National Park. These reserves were setup to incorporate into Kruger National Park and allow for more movement of wildlife. With the dropping of fences, Kruger's burgeoning elephant population has spilled into the APNR, where legal, highly regulated hunting of elephants occurs. The hunting of elephants in this area has gone through significant upheaval since 2021, when Humane Society International put a court interdict in place stopping export of elephant trophies. Today, we get a huge step forward towards returning to pre-2021. John brings Robbie breaking news out of the Limpopo Province of South Africa that now, for the first time in quite some time, international hunters may now hunt nonexportable elephants in the Limpopo Province, along with a history of why this is such a significant clawback of ground after several battles in and out of court.
