Peet Van Der Merwe || The Economics Of Hunting Tourism in Africa
Peet Van Der Merwe is a senior lecturer on tourism economics at Northwestern University in South Africa. Peet has dedicated much of his career to studying the economic impacts of consumptive (hunting) tourism, tourism writ-large, and how they benefit the region. So, if hunting disappeared, what would happen to the economy and wildlife conservation? Its an important question to ask and get answered because value is the thing that will keep wildlife around for many generations to come. Robbie delves deep with Peet to talk about it.

Lucas Cooke || Ahead of Australia’s Duck Season
Lucas Cooke, CEO of Field and Game Australia, joins Robbie on the podcast on the eve of the upcoming duck season in anticipation of the amount of anti hunters that will be pushing back on the duck season. Antis fell just short of a victory last year when the parliamentary inquiry voted to suggest banning duck hunting in Australia, but the force of the trade unions swayed them, and the labor government refused to ban duck hunting. Today marks the opening of the 2024 duck season in Victoria Australia. Blood Origins and Field and Game Australia have teamed up on a great pro-active piece - by putting a billboard up in Sale, Victoria showing people truth about duck season. There has been a seperate website set up to direct folks to what is duck hunting in Victoria: www.savethehunt.com.au

Sarah Vermaak || Marrying Into A Hunting Family In South Africa
Sarah Vermaak was a non hunter before she got married into the Vermaak family. The Vermaaks are a stalwart family of the hunting industry of South Africa, starting in 1970 (they are actually the longest standing outfitter in South Africa) and as a result today has very much become an avid hunter. Robbie catches up with Sarah on location in Zululand, in the hills next to the Tugela river, when he was in South Africa at the beginning of March filming an embedded Blood Origins episode with the Vermaak family.

Short Truths Ep. 17 - Are Colorado Mountain Lions ‘Trophy Hunted’?
Here is the question on everyone’s lips – are mountain lions in Colorado trophy hunted? The technical answer is no. The emotional answer is tied to the motivation of the individual. Motivation is something that is not easily controlled – this is for all segments of the population including drunk driving, cheating on your taxes, taking steroids for body-building competitions – its unclear what makes people do certain things. Mix in different backgrounds, different ethics, and how you were raised – all combined in a melting pot that is diverse as humanity itself. So all we can talk to is the technical, legal answer. That answer is no – mountain lions are not trophy hunted in Colorado. You see they are not classified as a trophy animal, nor are they classified as vermin or furbearers, they are classified as big-game – just like wild sheep, elk, mule deer, pronghorns. Big game are hunted for many reasons, but the law tells you that you must sustainably utilize all parts of the animal. For example, by law you are not allowed to leave the meat in the field. By law you are not allowed to leave the head in the field. By law you are not allowed to leave the cape in the field. It all has to come out with you. So here's the #truth ...

Eamon Waddington || Hosted Hunting Education In Australia
Eamon Waddington is a passionate bowhunter in Australia. As he grew in his bowhunting career and started growing more and more on social media, he constantly had folks reaching out to him asking him all the normal questions - how do I get into it, where do I go, how do I cook the meat. He figured - man there is definitely a niche that is needing to be filled - from that Broadside Hunting was created - an opportunity for people to learn how to hunt, butcher, cook, in a hosted environment. He tells his story to Robbie and explains why he is so passionate about this.

Customer Reviews
Exceptional hunting topics from across the globe
The Blood Origins podcast is informative and passionate in equal measures. It addresses difficult topics in a refreshing, reflective way and highlights how powerful educating and engaging non-hunters is in protecting our way of life. We are all responsible for preserving what we hold dear but Robbie is certainly setting the example.
The big tusker trophy hunt debate
I follow Andrew Danckwerts on Instagram which is how I was introduced to this story. I have listened to the podcasts Robbie had with Ivan and Andrew.
Wow; two hours of calm measured informative intelligent insightful discussion and debate on a very difficult topic that usually sees such entrenched and polarised views.
I learnt so much and feel so much better informed on this deeply important subject.
Thank you Robbie, thank you Ivan and thank you Andrew.
Inspiring
As a hunter myself, this podcast has intrigued me. Has made me look at both sides of the argument and really made me look at myself and the way I hunt. I cannot recommend it enough and dont blame me when you start binge listening 😂
