Jeb Linscombe, is the alligator program lead for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. Jeb and Robbie have been talking for some time about the incredible success story that is Louisiana Alligators. Recently, Robbie and Jeb connected in person in Louisiana on a secret filming project (with an A List Celebrity no less!) tied to the sustainable use of alligator leather. The two discuss one of the top conservation success stories across the world, the recovery of the American alligator, and about sustainable use of alligator leather. There is such a strong connection with conservation and utilization of wildlife - this story is the poster child for it! Do you have a questions we can answer?

Since Robbie is in South Africa working on some pretty big documentaries for the hunting community and has no phone signal, the roundup is taken over by Ashlee and guest cohost, Jim Inglis, this week. Jim, who used to be the government affairs for Pheasants Forever, is a good friend of Blood Origins and is the perfect person to talk about what the future of hunting looks like with the change in administration in the US. Ashlee and Jim dissect the current state of politics post-election and walk through Trump’s cabinet nominees, current legislation being passed to advance sportsmen’s interest and natural resources conservation, and analyze the new leadership in the Senate and House and how it will affect hunters as we head into 2025 under a new administration.

Benji Backer, author of ‘The Conservative Environmentalist’ and founder of the American Conservation Coalition, joins Robbie to talk about his middle ground political approach to environmentalism - a mantra Blood Origins itself is deeply familiar with. Benji and Robbie have been trying to connect on a podcast for some time, first through Blood Origins’ podcast producer Cody McLaughlin and then a second time through a common connection of Toby Lavigne. The two discuss Benji’s bird hunting hobby, his big game ambitions, growing up with vegans, what it means to be a conservative environmentalist, and much more.

AG Gregoroff, from ToeHold flip flops, is arguably the world-wide king of flip flops. Robbie went to Las Vegas to see what makes these flip flops so special, and had AG join him to talk about sustainably-sourced leathers such as ostrich, rhino, elephant, stingray, and more and how he uses these renewable resources to craft and market thousand-dollar-plus pairs of flip flops. Now Toehold's marketing strategy may not be for everyone, but beneath that exterior there is something very unique about AG, his philosophy about flip flops and how that extends to sustainability of natural resources.

Will Israel, the new (as of January 2024) Executive Director of the Montana Outfitters and Guides Association, reached out to discuss Executive Order 14026 and the implications for guides and outfitters, specifically on federal lands. Honestly, we had not heard anything about this EO, but as you dig deeper into it - you can begin to understand how politics work in arenas like this. It's almost the classic two steps forward, two steps back when it comes to differing administrations thoughts around different issues - this one specifically is tied to hourly wages and overtime of guides and outfitters (yes even trout fishing operations) on federal lands. As you can imagine there are lots of nuances, lots of questions, lots of "what if" scenarios - that all point to the possibility of incredible hardships on the industry writ large that a ALOT of people have no idea is actually happening. This is a key piece that all fisherman, wilderness excursions, guides, outfitters, hunting operators etc., are ALL on the same page about. Do you have a questions we can answer?

Robbie reached out to John Randolph with the Institute for Wildlife Studies in California and lead author of a study of the dispersal of juvenile mountain lions (his Master’s thesis) in California and Nevada to have a sciency conversation around this intriguing paper. There was a lot of talk around this paper with a lot of claims being made, as such, Robbie wanted to get the information from the papers authors and really get into the nitty gritty of the paper and the findings. John and Robbie discuss the paper, as its chief author, and lay out crisply what the conclusions are, since it has been picked up by “both sides” and weaponized. We would highly suggest listening to this podcast as it will arm you with critical information tied to the mountain lion proposition in Colorado. Do you have a questions we can answer?

Robbie dives into a question about the truth of how Mountain Lions are ACTUALLY doing in Colorado. As a question from a non-hunter, quasi-anti-hunter, meant to convince that hunting is affecting mountain lion populations in a negative way. Robbie dives into the intersection of mountain lions and their range, which butts up to the edge of highly populated (and increasingly-more-populated) regions of Colorado, and asks the tough questions about mountain lions that you need to hear.
