    Khory Hancock || Regenerative Agriculture and Compatible Hunting in Australia?

    Khory Hancock || Regenerative Agriculture and Compatible Hunting in Australia?

    Khory Hancock, an environmental scientist who owns a company called Climate Revive on the Gold Coast of Australia, joins to talk to Robbie about regenerative agriculture, taking care of and restoring the land, and that all interacts with cattle grazing, and taking care of the land. Naturally Robbie was curious to hear Khory's outlook on hunting, its effect on grazers, and how hunting can synergistcally work together with these large carbon projects to create the outcomes that they are interested in as well as provide opportunities for hunters.

    Dan MacNulty || What do wolves actually DO in the Yellowstone System?

    Dan MacNulty || What do wolves actually DO in the Yellowstone System?

    Dr. Daniel MacNulty is an Associate Professor in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University. Robbie really is interested in the wolf elk dynamics across the west, and really wanted to dig into what the science actually says - are wolves decimating elk herds? We have seen graphs from Idaho about changes in elk due to wolves, and so what better place to start this conversation than in Yellowstone, with the giy that spent more time studying this than most anyone else. Dan and Robbie examine the impact of wolves on the landscape, trophic cascades, the dynamics of predator prey interactions in Yellowstone, and more as a part of a deep-dive series of podcasts examining the truth about wolves in the west.

    Roundup 120 || Botswanan elephants, NZ wapiti, Catalina island deer, and more recorded on location from Portugal!

    Roundup 120 || Botswanan elephants, NZ wapiti, Catalina island deer, and more recorded on location from Portugal!

    Robbie chops it up with Ben Cassidy, the Executive Vice President of Safari Club International, from the recent CIC General Assembly in Portugal. The two reminisce about Brazilian soccer and Robbie’s early childhood there, the recent epic call-out by Botswanan President Mokgweetsi Masisi challenging the UK and German governments to take delivery of elephants, a legal clarification by the German government on the legality of owning elephants (2,000 hectares and minimum 5 elephants, if you’re wondering), New Zealand’s Forest and Bird’ National Game Act judicial review and the hypocrisy behind their suit against Fjordland Wapiti Foundation, Catalina Island deer, and more!

    Ron Thomson || Old School Elephant Culling 

    Ron Thomson || Old School Elephant Culling 

    Ron Thomson is a former 25-year Zimbabwe Parks Board veteran who was involved in wildlife management’s heyday in the 60’s through the 80’s. Ron was involved in elephant management - including so-called ‘precision removal’ of elephants, i.e., a population control mechanism called culling. Culling is an extremely controversial topic and has been eradicated from all elephant management today. It was removed from management because it was seen by as cruel and unethical. Culling was a tool to maintain elephants at a certain level (i.e., Kruger Park at 7,500 elephants). He and Robbie catch up about Ron’s storied career, what it was like ‘back in the day’, his thoughts on elephants today, and old school stories of Zim. This is the first in a series of podcasts around elephants in Africa. Its such a strongly emotive topic, but there is no greater conversation needed than the successful management of elephants.

    Dylan Williams || The Practical Conservationist

    Dylan Williams || The Practical Conservationist

    Dylan Williams out of the UK makes his livelihood in the shooting sports arena. He is a stalwart in the english shooting and conservation space, and was gratefully brought to our attention by a very good friend of us both, Hannah Gibson, the GM of Spartan Precision. Raised a farmer, with a formal education in conservation, has a broad idea of game bird resource conservation, rural life and shooting sports, and more. This is a fascinating conversation between two individuals that passionately believe in the shooting sports and what it can do for people, for wildlife, and the communities that live with them.

Amazing!!

This show is amazing. This is the education the world needs when it comes to hunting. Also the sound of the podcast is perfect!

Outdoor Lawyer ,

Stupendous, balanced and thought provoking

Robbie does a great job in looking for all points of view, inviting guests from varied backgrounds and opinions, and having a frank discussion of the role of hunting in conservation. Bravo!

ethan rodrigue ,

Outstanding!!

Great podcast for anyone interested in hunting or wildlife! More hunters these days should give more effort to thought provoking conversation and understanding factual information as opposed to celebrity hunters and social media. This is a great podcast for gaining some of that insight!
