RC Carter, owner of Carter Country Meats, joins Robbie this week to share his philosophy on regenerative agriculture, hunting and the perceptions around both things. As a purveyor of regenerative meats in ‘middle of nowhere’ Wyoming, as he puts it, RC talks about the blend between regenerative agriculture and the pursuit of wild game as both an ag producer and as a hunter.

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.

The question that was posed to me was one that we get a lot: Is Trophy Hunting Conservation? Or do people just use that terminology to make themselves feel better about killing animals? This is a great question for the Short Truths. Though the motivation of the individual may not be based in conservation, the action of the individual is conservation, though it may not be the direct motivation. What is conservation? Preservation, sustaining, not wasteful loss of a resource, that has a plan to its management in order to maximize biodiversity. That is a bastardized combination of the Oxford dictionary and the Merriam Websters dictionary; it paints the picture of what conservation actually is - which then begs the question does hunting conform with that definition? So here's my answer ... Do you have a question we can answer on the short truths?

There are big black bears and then there are World Record Black Bears. You may or may not have heard of Brian Melvin and his amazing black bear out of New Jersey - dressed out at 770 pounds, but Robbie gets the scoop from him in this episode of Blood Origins. You would be mistaken to think that this Black Bear would have had to come out of the great north, but in fact it came out of New Jersey, the state with the high density of black bears in North America, but also now can claim the largest bears too! With a little math, it works out to be the unofficial biggest black bear in the world, and Brian dives deep into the incredible journey this bear took him on, and the reward of finally connecting with him in a Jersey swamp in October. This is a fascinating episode as Brian describes how he hunts for big black bears like someone would hunt for a big mature whitetail - Robbie had never heard of people hunting particular bears like that and lends itself for an amazing conversation.  Get to know the guest: https://www.instagram.com/timber_life_outdoors/ https://www.themeateater.com/conservation/general/new-jersey-hunter-faces-backlash-after-harvesting-770-pound-bear https://www.outdoorlife.com/hunting/new-jersey-record-archery-black-bear/ Do you have questions we can answer?

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.

Continuing our miniseries on the Enduimet elephant debate, we reached out across the Border to Kenya, to Richard Bonham of the Big Life Foundation. It was important to have Richard on the podcast as he has been in the wildlife conservation landscape for decades in the Amboseli region. Richard joins Robbie on the Blood origins podcast to discuss the Amboseli system, Big Life's involved in wildlife conservation, their involvement in Enduimet, and other topics. Blood Origins prides itself in being able to have conversations with ALL parties when it comes to a debate and discussion aroubnd controversial topics.

Cayce De Simone is an avowed lifelong vegetarian and mother who has come through her years to understand who hunters are, even marrying one. She is from the interior of British Columbia, where hunting ban issues of large carnivore hunting and possibly other species are coming to a head. So her perspective as a non-hunter in the interior of British Columbia is likely the most valuable perspective we as hunters could have. In this podcast, we hear directly from Cayce about what her perspective of hunting used to be like, what it is today, and why it has changed. Remember that she is a vegetarian, because she will sound like a hunter.

WARNING: CONTROVERSIAL. Robbie sits down with Leon Kachelhoffer, the Professional Hunter who accompanied the hunter who took the big tusker elephant out of NG-13 in Botswana. Controversy surrounds this elephant, mainly because it's a ‘Big Tusker’ - an elephant with a tusk(s) over 100 pounds, which are essentially iconic. While controversial, this conversation is a critical one about the generalities of sustainable, well-managed elephant hunting and why it is important.

Here is a question floating around out there – are mountain lions and bobcats threatened and endangered in Colorado? This question is a valid one. We currently hunt both species in Colorado and if their respective populations were threatened in anyway or endangered, then all the sportsmen and women in Colorado and those non-residents that hunt them would say absolutely, we shouldn’t be hunting them. This is an incredibly important question to answer specifically in light of the potential ballot initiative being moved forward through signature gathering in the State of Colorado right now to ban the hunting of mountain lions and bobcats. So what’s the truth? Here's my answer ... If you have a question that you would like us to answer please reach out to us via DM on IG or via info@bloodorigins.com Support our newest Conservation Club Members!

The question that was posed was - why do you guys always hunt old males? The question was indirectly why do you always hunt the things with the biggest horns / antlers? There is a lot of questions around why hunters hunt old males? It's often tied to the moniker of trophy hunting. You guys are always after the biggest horns or the biggest antlers. Ok? Isn't that what you would want to hunt if you are interested in wildlife population sustainability and growth? The problem - or rather perception - that hunters have is that the only reason hunters chase older male animals is the big horns, big antlers, and big bodies. But what if we told you the famous ‘point’ scoring system was actually developed to test the maturation of an ecosystem that is reflected in the health and maturity of the animals.

Dr. Gary Pusateri M.D., is trying something a little out of the ordinary. Himself and business partners have founded a company called Dream Genomics - it's a company that is interested in using gene sequencing to allow early detection of human diseases. He is also a hunter, and was approached by friends and colleagues and was asked the question if you can do it for humans could you do it for animals - i.e, can you use blood to detect the early signs of animal based diseases like Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)?

The question was posed to me - what do I think about corner crossings? If you are not familiar with the United States and public lands, the landscape typically out west looks exactly like a checkerboard of private and public land. Often public land is opposite one another where their corners touch, and you can literally step from one piece of public to another. That is called corner crossing. If you are reading this - you are likely thinking what's wrong with that? Well it's illegal to do. However, this has recently been challenged in Wyoming where a group of hunters did it, got charged, it went all the way up to the Supreme Court of Wyoming and they were found not-guilty, essentially paving the way to make corner crossing legal. So here's my answer on what I think about Corner Crossings!  If you have a question for us, leave us a comment, email it to us at info@bloodrigins.com, or DM us via FB or IG.

Writer and producer of books, television and video games are just some of the hats Will Staples wears.

Not much is known about this world because it’s not the highest priority for law enforcement, making his job of shedding light on it even harder.  See more from Blood Origins: https://bit.ly/BloodOrigins_Subscribe Music: Migration by Ian Post (Winter Solstice), licensed through artlist.io Learn more about your ad choices.

Do sportsmen actually pay for conservation? This is a common question from the anti-hunting lobby. The short answer? Yes. In fact, NO other collective group of people in the United States contributes more than sportsmen. Where does this question come from, then? A “study” by the Mountain Lion Foundation claims that 94% of conservation funding is actually from the lay public. However, upon examination, the study is full of red flags and is not peer-reviewed. Listen in to get Robbie’s take as he breaks down what it means, and why sportsmen are the top funder for conservation.  Support our newest Conservation Club Members!
