Robbie travelled to India earlier this year to get an on-the ground perspective of human wildlife conflict in the very remotest and rural places in India. At the second location that they travelled to a subject matter expert, Dr. HS Pabla, joined Robbie and the team. Dr. Pabla was the Chief Wildlife Warden of Mardra Pradesh, an extremely prestigious position, and retired from the Indian Forest Service in 2012. So when Robbie got the opportunity to sit down with Dr Pabla, he took it. This podcast was filmed and recorded in a very small hotel room in a remote hotel in rural India. The discussion with Dr. Pabla unravels the Wildlife Protection Act of India and how the country has made moves in recent years toward a more sensible model of conservation, driven by unprecedented wildlife conflicts between the citizens of the country and wildlife; from herbivores destroying crops to tigers and leopards prowling cities and towns and eating citizens.  It's truly an eye opening podcast from an area of the world that most people know very little about.

Andrew and Katie Leventis are longtime podcast listeners who reached out to pitch their coffee company, a specialty blend for a specific project with Quail Covey Coffee. After listening to our episode about Hunters For Hope, Quail Covey Coffee reach out about doing a special limited run of coffee to raise money for that exact program, complete with a QR code so that donors could raise even more money for the program. The heart of the hunting community around the world truly amazes me - hunters from South Carolina with a small coffee company wanting to raise funds for a Hunters for the Hungry program in Christ Church, New Zealand. It's absolutely incredible and makes all of our hearts sing. Listen to the podcast, then buy some coffee (it's really really good), then buy some for your friends, and when it arrives click the QR Code and send some funds to Hunters for Hope Program!

While searching the interweb for Rhino documentaries, Robbie came across a TED talk by a professor from the Uiversity of Arkansas Monticello called Elena Rubino talking about Rhinos. He was immediately intrigued as its not a place that one thinks discussions around Rhino Conservation and Trade come from. Robbie reached out, and it turns out the Elena did her Ph.D. work on the perceptions of Trophy Hunting, and naturally that was something he wanted to learn about. Robbie is joined today by Dr. Elena Rubino, a professor at the University of Arkansas-Monticello, to talk about a survey she undertook to understand perceptions around trophy hunting. As you will find out the research is fascinating and really provides some science to what society thinks about hunting writ large.

Robbie and Ashlee get into it in this Roundup episode - diving first into some good news about our ongoing Cheetah conservation project, expansion of hunting and fishing on National Wildlife Refuges, then transitioning into a fiery debate about the ecological importance of donuts and their role in black bear management. Robbie and Ashlee come at the issue from two completely different, yet congruently valid perspectives - Ashlee questions the use of bait for black bear hunting from an ethical perspective, while Robbie defends the use of bait from a scientific and management perspective.

Rob McCanna recently took over the hot seat at the DSC organization and to say he hit the ground the running and was instantly met with an array of challenges would be under statement.   I was intrigued about Rob's leadership qualities when I listened to a podcast he did with Robbie Kroger from Blood Origins. I appreciated his acceptance of the negatives and his willingness to make things right and drive the organization forward. But I wanted to find out more about the man himself, and I enjoyed hearing from Rob about his earlier days hunting and his love for the outdoors.   I hope you enjoy this episode, and if you did then please take 2 minutes to leave a review and rating.   Jono 

The Honorable Robert Borsak is a repeat guest on the Blood Origins podcast. He is a member of the upper house of the New South Wales Government in Australia and the leader of the Shooters, Fishers, and Farmers Party there. Robbie wanted to have a conversation with Robert on the heels of the Great Australian Pig Hunt, in which the data showcased how great a job hunters were doing both economically and ecologically for the Australian environment and economy. The two discuss hunting policy in NSW from wild (read: feral) horses to wombats and beyond. A fascinating podcast if you are interested in understanding policy implications and hunting advocacy halfway around the world.

Shahid Zaman is the Secretary of Forests, Climate Change, and The Environment for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Province in Pakistan. Shahid has worked for the State Department in Gilgit-Baltistan, Punjab, and KP forging incredible successes in Forestry Conservation as well as wildlife conservation. It's rare to get a glimpse into Pakistan's wildlife conservation journey, and when Robbie got an opportunity to meet Shahid and have a conversation like this, he took it. Shahid joins the podcast to discuss the significant role of hunting in wildlife conservation in Pakistan… a part of the world many in the west probably don't know that much about.  Get to know the guest: https://islamabadpost.com.pk/shahid-zaman-is-a-real-warrior-against-global-warmings-negative-effects/ Do you have questions we can answer?

Willy Pabst is an outspoken German who fell under Africa's spell as a young man and decided he needed to make it a part of him. Over the intervening years, he found a property called Sango in the Save Valley in Zimbabwe.  He eventually purchased the property, which has formed one of the most important, iconic examples of hunter-led conservation in the world. Willy joins the Our Voice series to discuss what we do in this era where we actually have TOO MANY elephants and too little habitat. Willie discusses his view from the front lines of that debate - and gives us his unvarnished opinion.

Ben “The Vegan Farmer” Hudson and Robbie were introduced to each other when Robbie was tagged into one of his posts where he noted "hunting is not conservation". Naturally, I was curious to this viewpoint and DM'ed Ben and invited Ben to the Blood Origins podcast. I love to have conversations with folks that have different points of view around hunting and have open, articulate and intelligent conversation around it. What we think you'll find is that Ben is a very astute and intellectual person who's thought deeply about his morality and ethics. What follows is a straightforward conversation on hunting, animal agriculture, conservation, and beyond. Very appreciative of Ben joining us on the podcast and the great conversation that ensued.

At the same time that Robbie met Ralph and Vicki, he was introduced to RJ and Aubrey. RJ and Aubrey Cianciarulo are the son and daughter-in-law of Ralph and Vicki (if you haven't listened to their episode, go listen to episode 556 which dropped earlier this week). As the ‘new faces' coming in behind their stalwart parents to pick up the torch, Robbie talks to them about the state of the industry, and what are they seeing, or not seeing. Given that Rj and Aubrey are at the beginning of this journey into the industry, Robbie shares his advice on how thinking, more than anything else, will save hunting.  Get to know the guest: https://www.instagram.com/rjandaubrey/?hl=en Do you have questions we can answer?

Robbie and Ralph and Vicki have been in each others social circles for quite sometime, but it wasn't until the DSC Convention earlier this year that they connected and really got to chatting. It's safe to say Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo are part of the “old guard” of hunting. They started their first TV show, ‘Archer's Choice' in 1985 - almost 40 years ago - and join Robbie's podcast today to talk about the evolution they've seen in the conversation around hunting in the 40 years since hitting the air for the first time. This conversation is a fascinating conversation about how things have changed and at times some brutal honesty about things that are a part of the industry today.  Get to know the guest: https://www.outdoorchannel.com/show/archers-choice/1392 Do you have questions we can answer?

Robbie was fortunate to cross paths with Paul during the initiation of our Panyame Cheetah Conservation project. When Robbie first met Paul - he noted that Paul's name was super familiar to him, and it turns out that Robbie had heard of Paul, and more specifically his PhD work. Paul Booyens, a Wildlife Reserve Manager, did his thesis on the rewilding of lions. Not rewilding of any lions, but rather the rewildling of Captive Bred Lions, aka CBL lions. Lions that essentially had been raised in captivity, have never killed any prey, and were placed in reproductive scenarios in Bomas. CBL is controversial enough - but Paul decides to add a whole new level to it, by trying to rewild CBL lions. Is that even possible? Paul joins Robbie on this podcast to talk about one of the most controversial subjects in South African conservation. CAN a captive bred lion who has been fed carcasses its entire life rediscover its felid nature - learn to hunt for itself, interact with other lions, and be truly “wild”?

Salim Khan, a Pakistani native who has been hunting in the country for 53 of his 57 years of life, is an outfitter who has been involved in the hunting game for decades. He also has an interest in replicating wildlife management models from places like South Africa into Pakistan and reintroducing and rehabilitating native wildlife such as axis deer, black buck, nilgai, you name it. Robbie was introduced to Salim at this year's Wild Sheep Show through Adam Olivas and Arqos Hunting and decided right then and there to record a podcast with him while they were both on the Wild Sheep Show convention floor.

Ryan Darby - who the average listener wouldn't know from a bar of soap - sits down to explore with Robbie the intersection of mental health and hunting. Ryan Darby is the regional officer at The British Association for Shooting and Conservation.  In this incredibly brave interview, Ryan Darby opens up to say, “I am not okay” and in doing so hopefully gives hope and resiliency to others who may be out there in the same place in the hunting community. Robbie shares a similar experience in this incredibly open conversation about mental health. If you are struggling, it is important to reach out to someone and know that you are not alone. If you want to talk to anyone, feel free to reach out to us.

 In this week's roundup while Robbie is off galavanting again, Ashlee is joined by Fred Bird of the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation. And luckily, in addition to being CSF's Senior Manager of Eastern States, Fred also serves as the host of CSF's own Sportsmen's Voice podcast - because when a catastrophic power and internet failure hits Ashlee's office mid-recording, Fred is able to step in and finish the episode! Ashlee and Fred discuss legislative news around the country, including the implications of controversial bills like Alabama's House Bill 509, the significance of food sovereignty legislation such as the statute passed in Maine, legal challenges in Pennsylvania regarding the Open Fields doctrine and wildlife management's ability to enter private land vs the rights of hunting clubs, the legal implications surrounding wildlife & property surveillance, recent legislative updates on the ND Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) bills, and the outline of the plan for the return of bear hunting in Florida.

Robbie and the Slots Boys are back with more South African shenanigans that we all love from their latest road trip. From the back of the trusty old rig traveling around South Africa, the boys cover the project they're sending to the nines in honor of a friend, what they're up to in Africa, and so much more. This trip the boys have had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.  Do you have questions we can answer?

Sam “The Trapman” Gibson is a lifelong hunter and trapper out of New Zealand. After leaving a long career with the department of environmental conservation in 2020 due to being disparaged with how they were doing things, he started a project called Eastern Whio Link a hunter-led conservation project that looks to protect native birds (specifically kiwi) and whio (a rare native duck). He discussed both with Robbie in depth in today's episode. The Eastern Whio Link is a project that Blood Origins, through funding by Bergara has invested in. It's a phenomenal investment from people into ensuring ecosystem health and native New Zealand fauna are looked after.

In this follow-up episode to Part 1 (if you didn't listen to Part 1 - go back and listen to it) - Robbie wanted to talk to someone else that has been on the ground in this part of the world, to hear an eye-witness account of what is happening. Robbie is joined by Ed Stoddard, a journalist out of South Africa for the Daily Maverick, to follow up on Mike Labuschagne's episode about Kasungu National Park in Malawi. Ed, in this episode, recounts his personal invitation from Mike to come see the travesty happening on the Zambian side of the border. Ed witnessed first hand the effect of these elephants, which was the largest translocation of elephants ever attempted, and the impact it is having on the people living next to the park on the Zambian and Malawi sides.  Get to know the guest: https://www.fieldsportschannel.tv/fieldsportschannelpodcast99/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4690794/Dramatic-moment-notorious-ivory-poachers-gang-caught.html Do you have questions we can answer?

There is big news coming out of the Zambian - Malawi Border this past week. A relocation of 263 elephants into Kasungu National Park has led to a human rights travesty. This travesty has now been picked up by a law firm in the United Kingdom that is about to file a class action lawsuit against IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) - arguably one of, if not the, largest NGO in the world. In this longer-than-normal episode, Robbie kicks off our series on Kasungu in Zambia with someone who has been on the ground in the area for 20+ years. Mike Labuschagne has been working in the Kasungu area for two decades, and at one point was even employed by IFAW. He is the force behind exposing the human rights travesty, and has an important story to tell on human wildlife conflict, investment, and sets the stage for one of the most important, if underreported, wildlife conflicts in the world right now.  Get to know the guest: https://www.fieldsportschannel.tv/fieldsportschannelpodcast99/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4690794/Dramatic-moment-notorious-ivory-poachers-gang-caught.html Do you have questions we can answer?

Barry Cromhout is a total unknown to both Robbie and our listeners - but after listening to Robbie on Andy Stump's Cleared Heart podcast describing his grandfather Leo Kroger and his gun - he realized he'd met Robbie's grandfather in 1998 and is one of the only remaining people with one of his wooden business cards. After exchanging a photo, Robbie invited him on for this episode, where the two exchange stories about the man, Leo Kroger, and the “Wild impression” he left on Barry Cromhout in 1998.

There have been significant rumors and discussions about DSC's future since the Atlanta show in January of 2025. The show was not a success, and as such there have been rumbling from exhibitors, partners, and others about what DSC will do next. Robbie reached out to DSC CEO Rob McCanna to come on the podcast and talk about all of it, post the press release that just came out explaining the route forward for DSC over the next 5 years. Rob talks about his tenure as the new CEO, addresses rumors about the show and the move from Dallas to Atlanta, and provides a vision for the future of what they're going to do next and where they go from here. He explains the mistakes that were made, and the measures being put in place to rectify those mistakes, and puts to bed the internet bashing and rumor mills.

This is a special podcast episode for Blood Origins - its essentially a full circle moment for Robbie. Robbie has always been interested in wildlife conservation, and growing up in South Africa, in a non-hunting environment, his outlets for wildlife conservation were very limited. Robbie first met John Ledger when he was 14 years old (he's 46 years young now!) and now he's meeting him for the second time 32 years later. John was the director of the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) of South Africa at the time - an organization that unfortunately has changed drastically since John's 17-year run as their director. John and Robbie catch up on his history, how they met, and the rumination of a stalwart of wildlife conservation in South Africa and the value of wildlife to the people in these communities around the world.  Do you have questions we can answer?

In this week's roundup, Robbie is joined by returning guest Charles Whitwam to discuss what is shaping up to be one of the wildest legislative sessions in recent memory. They explore the challenges facing wildlife commissions, AB 1038 (a controversial black bear bill in California), the importance of public education and how our stories as hunters can help shape perceptions about hunting, and the need for effective, truly scientific management strategies.  Get to know the guest: https://www.instagram.com/shadowtrekkeradventures/?hl=en Do you have questions we can answer?

Robbie Kroger, founder of Blood Origins, is on the front lines when it comes to defending the practice of hunting, counteracting misinformation proposed by ARA's, and in my opinion leading the way in portraying the real meaning behind what it means to be a hunter and the benefits hunting can provide to the greater community.   Join Robbie and myself as we discuss his latest projects with Blood Origins and how the hunting community is fighting back against those who wish to see it banished.   I highly suggest you follow Blood Origins and as a hunter, fisherman, and outdoorsman, you throw your full support behind him.   Blood Origins: bloodorigins.org/our-roots/ RATE & REVIEW......Thanks!  

Glen Thurston is the founder of a mental health focused organization in New Zealand called ‘Mental Hunts' - and today he shares his incredible story with Robbie. His story started with the tremendously big step of admitting he had a problem with his mental health, to an ordeal that resulted in him losing his gun license and all his guns to authorities in New Zealand. As a result of that admission, he has really started to think that others may have a similar story and/or need to hear his story to understand that things will be ok. Glen's story addresses an important issue occurring around the world as it relates to mental health and guns, as well as pushing back on the ‘conventional wisdom' from a guy's perspective, of having to be hard and not admit or talk about your problems. If you're seeking help, know there are resources available to you in whatever country you're listening from.

Australia is home to likely the largest population of feral invasive species in the world. From all of the deer species, horses, camels, donkeys, buffalo - and PIGS, Australia has a rich history of introductions, and also a need for significant management of these species. Additionally, typically around the world, chasing any animal with dogs is typically frowned upon, and as such the Australian Pig Doggers and Hunters Association has never really pushed to change their narrative. That was until now. Ned Makim, the President and Acting Executive Director of the Australian Pig Doggers and Hunters' Association, joins Robbie on the Blood Origins podcast to discuss the association's work changing the narrative, rhetoric, and even visual representation of who pig hunters REALLY are in Australia. Robbie and Ned dive deep into the data - including what impact pig hunting has on the environment, the economics of pig hunting in Australia, and beyond.  Get to know the guest: https://www.instagram.com/themakimmethod/ https://themakimmethod.com Do you have questions we can answer?

There are certain topics in this world that are likely the most controversial - wolves, feral cats, and wild horses. Wild Horses for some reason evoke such emotions that there has been little work done on exposing what is actually going on. We are starting to delve into this topic more and more and there is not greater place to talk about this topic than Nevada. Former Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) employee Jenny Lesieutre is now speaking out around the management of wild horses after being involved in the space for almost two decades. As a horse owner and self-professed horse lover herself, you'll find that it is not from a place of malice that she advocates for management, rather because they are destroying their own habitat and environment without badly needed management protocols - because leaving them alone isn't working. This is a MUST LISTEN PODCAST.  Get to know the guest: https://www.instagram.com/jennylesieutre/ https://votefab40.com/2024/jenny-lesieutre Do you have questions we can answer?

Robbie and Ashlee chop it up about Robbie's India trip now that he's back stateside and the human-wildlife conflict the Blood Origins team witnessed during their trip documentary filming in India, including two people being killed within 20 kilometers of their base by tigers, while the team was there. The team then outlines plans for upcoming documentaries focused on sustainable practices and human-wildlife conflict, along with recent bipartisan support stateside for several wildlife conservation bills to address the fiscal challenges wildlife agencies are facing.

Kirsty Redman has many titles but the two she is most proud of are - Emerging Tuskers Project Coordinator, as well as the Elephant Hall Museum Director in Letaba Rest Camp for Kruger National Park in South Africa. Kirsty joined Robbie live from her office (yes and its true, Robbie and Kirsty were surrounded by garbage bags of elephant dung - all in the name of research!) to discuss big tuskers in the park, the history of the museum (which started as a marketing effort and evolved into more conservation and research efforts), and to really give folks an insight into the history of elephants.

Gogo Nomsa Sibeko, a traditional sangoma healer in South Africa, joins Robbie to talk about this rich tradition and - much like hunters - the many times inaccurate perception around them that comes out of Hollywood and movies. Robbie met Gogo back in November at the Custodians conference and was fascinated by her and the fact that she is facing the same stigmas as hunters are - that we pillage the environment for our own good. Along with her views on sustainability (she needs natural resources for her craft), Gogo discusses the human pressures surrounding them, and more!

Ian Harmer, the foremost walking safari guide for rhinos in Matopos, and owner of African Wanderer Safaris out of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe joins Robbie on the show from his safari in the Matapos Hills - a land full of mystique and magic and rhinos. The Matopos hills are rich with history, stories, and incredible wildlife including Rhinos. What's so good about Ian is that he has been in Matopos working for 30 years and literally knows Rhinos since their births. Ian isn't a hunter, he is a walking tour operator and a member of Zimbabwe Professional Guides Association. This is especially important podcast as Rhino poaching incidents start ramping up and asking someone who is on the ground daily with Rhino's - what is the path forward?  Get to know the guest: https://www.bhs-safari.co/blog-posts/on-the-podcast-campfire-conversations-with-ian-harmer-ft-jo-cooper https://www.facebook.com/AfricanWandererSafaris.IanHarmer/  Do you have questions we can answer?

On this week's Roundup, Ashlee is being joined by co-hosts Chris Borgatti, the Director of Policy for the 36 states in the Eastern Region of North America for Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, as well as Brock Wahl, the North Dakota state chairman for BHA, who will update us on the CWD bills moving through the ND state legislator and how to form a strong BHA chapter. Chris covers a commission restructuring bill in New Hampshire, a bill moving through IL that would potentially increase public access to 85,000 navigable waterways within the state, a SD bill designed to increase the public safety zone and thereby decrease public access, a set of MA bills that would decrease the setback zone and increase public access, and potential bear seasons in FL and CT.  Do you have questions we can answer?

Bronson Strickland is arguably one of the leading extension deer biologists in the entire country. Robbie and Bronson used to be in the same Wildlife and Fisheries department at Mississippi State University, and so Bronson was invited onto the show by Robbie for this special second installment of our CWD Series to explore some of the major questions around the management of white-tailed deer with Chronic Wasting Disease. With this series we wanted to explore first the private land owners perspective (Doug Duren) on CWD, and then talk to an extension biologist and their landscape level purview of the issue and management implications around it.  Get to know the guest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIh0wylRUgw https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=t0yJd7oouqU&t=0s  https://www.amazon.com/Books-Dr-Bronson-Strickland/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ADr.%2BBronson%2BStrickland https://wildlifeinvestments.com Do you have questions we can answer?

Doug Duren of Blood Origins fame (kidding, but he is a frequent guest of ours and we love him!) joins us for the landowner perspective in Wisconsin - one of the hot beds of the Chronic Wasting Disease crisis affecting our nation, where 80+% of counties are testing positive for CWD. Doug shares what he's seen from his decades of hunting the same piece of land. The CWD discussion is a very hot topic right now, especially with what is happening all over the United States, from Georgia to North Dakota.

If you grew up in South Africa and loved wildlife you likely wanted to be a veterinarian. Robbie did, but quickly realized that to be a wildlife vet and not a typical cats and dogs vet, 1) there were very limited chances of you getting into vet school, and 2) an even smaller chance of you working in that field when you graduated. Dr. Fraser was one of those guys that succeeded on both of those levels. Andy Fraser is a wildlife vet out of Rooiberg, South Africa, - a little town about 2 hours north of Pretoria in South Africa. He has spent the last decade of his life dedicating himself to wildlife conservation through his veterinary work, working on everything from rhinos to wild dogs to cheetahs and beyond. Andy sits down with Robbie and dives deep into veterinary work, wildlife conservation, Andy's incredible career at the very top of his field, the future of wildlife conservation, and a look at an ongoing project of ours that involves Andy - meaning you'll be hearing from him a lot more!  Get to know the guest: https://www.instagram.com/rooibergvet/p/DCjvZZwMu33/?img_index=1 https://www.africanwildlifevets.com https://www.facebook.com/Rooibergvet/about/?ref=page_internal&_rdr Do you have questions we can answer?

Richard Sowry, a 22 year veteran of Kruger National Park and current Pafuri section ranger in Kruger National Park, took Robbie on a game drive outside the Letaba Rest Camp in late November. Richard is an incredible conservationist, has fought the height of the Rhino poaching battle in Kruger National Park, loves argentinian doggos, and is just a pragmatic guy when it comes to wildlife conservation in today's era. Richard is a neutral in my book - he hunts, but isn't completely pro-hunting, he is also pro-ecotourim, and is a staunch pro-sustainable use guy. Robbie and Richard drove around for an hour, and recorded a podcast as they did it, during the height of sweltering summer in South Africa to talk all about African wildlife, Rich's career, and more. You will have to forgive Richard and Robbie, as both during this podcast are like dogs when they see a squirrel, but this time, it's two passionate individuals spotting wildlife and game on their game drive together!

Robbie Kroger is the founder of Blood Origins. Born and raised in South Africa and now calling the United States home, Robbie has dedicated his life to shedding light on the real “why” behind hunting. Far from the stereotypes and controversies that often cloud the topic, Robbie's mission is to show that hunting isn't just about taking an animal's life—it's about giving back, building community, and connecting deeply with nature. Drawing on his background as a scientist and conservationist, Robbie weaves personal stories and powerful insights that challenge the status quo. Hear firsthand how Blood Origins began—an initiative fueled by reverence for heritage and a desire to tell the untold stories of hunters, families, and communities worldwide. Robbie's perspective will reframe your thoughts on hunting and its place in modern conservation, from protecting wildlife habitats to understanding the roots that run through generations. This conversation transcends politics and touches on the heart of what it means to be human: our responsibility to each other, to the land, and to the legacy we leave behind. This is hunting as you've never heard it before—raw, real, and undeniably powerful. Strap in and get ready to have your assumptions challenged in the best way possible. https://bloodorigins.org/
