  • Episode 555 - Paul Booyens || Captive Lions To Wild Lions?
    May 1 2025
    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”?

  • Episode 553 - Ryan Darby || It’s Okay To Talk.
    Apr 17 2025
    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.

  • Roundup 150 || Wildlife Surveillance, Food Sovereignty, And More With CSF’s Fred Bird!
    Apr 16 2025
    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.

  • Our Voice 7: New Zealand
    Apr 8 2025
    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.
