The Origins Foundation Podcast

Robbie and Tana have been in connection for a couple of years now. Tana and her family live up in Alaska, have a super unique household, fostered and adopted kids and just an incredible heart for hunting, living, and connecting with the land. Tana knew as she got more and more involved in the Alaskan wilderness and what that time spent there was doing for her - mentally, physically, spiritually, that she wanted to share that with other women. Tana shares with Robbie about her woman-only hunts in Alaska - and the broader landscape of woman hunt programs writ-large from organizations including Wild Sheep Foundation, SCI, Wahine Wapiti in New Zealand, She Hunt and others around the world. Woman hunters and woman hunt programs are becoming more and more common and dominant as woman are the fastest growing demographic of hunters in the world!Get to know the guest: https://www.instagram.com/tanasue_fit/?hl=en  https://www.grendasgetaways.com Do you have questions we can answer?

Robbie connected with returning guest Doug Cockroft, of Splitting Image Taxidermy, while he was in South Africa to talk about the recurring issue of trophy importation bans around the world, the evolution of taxidermy, 3D printing, and the cyclical nature of these controversies being pushed forward, then pushed back, and around we go. Trophy hunting bans are an indirect measure to stop people hunting and it will greatly affect the taxidermy industry specifically that is often employing individuals without formal educations. Do you have questions we can answer?

Chef Jean Paul Bourgeois and the Duck Camp Dinners Crew joins Robbie and the Blood Origins podcast to talk about his Youtube/television series, which is a deep dive into Louisiana duck hunting, food and eating culture called Duck Camp Dinners. This entire episode made me salivate with talking about the cool things that they cook. Then, after the podcast watching all of the episodes of them cooking Louisiana style in the bayou, and the things they prepared - oh lawd. A very appropriate podcast with the middle of the duck season on the Mississippi Flyway. Do you have questions we can answer?

Robbie was sitting down about to have a banquet at the Hunters Ball in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe when he received a text message. Now that is a feat unto itself, since Zimbabwe does not have a cell carrier that is compatible with Verizon, but somehow Robbie had connected to WiFi and got this text message. All it said was - "Louisiana State Record Whitetail has been broken." The pictures on his phone halfway around the world made his mouth drop. As Tyler Jordan says in this podcast, "probably the biggest typical whitetail that is likely going to be seen." Well, of course we had to podcast about it. It's not often that you get to record right after a history-making buck hits the ground, but that's exactly what we did. Robbie catches up with Drew and Tyler out of the Bayou State about their incredible achievement harvesting the new state record whitetail of Louisiana, a record that has stood since 1939. Hear their incredible story, the heart of the hunt behind it, and the incredible conservation work that goes into producing state record animals for us to enjoy.Do you have questions we can answer?

It has been a long time since Robbie talked to someone who decided to change their lifestyle and move from the non-hunter ranks to the hunter ranks. Its one of our favorite podcast styles to really get to grips with someone who has made this decision. Why did they make that decision? Why did they decide to span the chasm of someone who just consumes meat to someone who is the executioner in the activity? Robbie interviews Jared Brown and Ashley Carillo about Ashley’s journey from non hunter to hunter. Ashley (a vet tech by trade who grew up in a non-hunting household) discovered hunting through her relationship with Jared, a keen hunter, and how her first hunt just happened to be a draw for a once-in-a-lifetime Oryx tag on the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Share this episode with those in your community that are non-hunters - as they can relate to Ashley and understand from her why she decided to become a hunter.Do you have a questions we can answer?

There are hunters giving back to communities all over the world. In discussions with our Conservation Club member, Monarch Hunting out of the South Island of New Zealand, we learned about an incredible duo of individuals that have taken it upon themselves to give back. This program has been called Hunters 4 Hope. Hunters 4 Hope, what is essentially a Hunters For The Hungry program out of Christ Church, New Zealand, joins the Blood Origins podcast to talk about New Zealand’s abundant deer resource and how that can contribute to food security in the nation by distributing organic venison into food banks and, by extension, people’s homes when they need it the most. It’s these kinds of conversations that inspire us to tell these stories and see what we can do to help raise funds for programs like this. Listen to this podcast and if you are interested and feel stirred to give please reach out to Blood Origins to see how you can help this incredible program in New Zealand.Do you have a questions we can answer?
