There are big black bears and then there are World Record Black Bears. You may or may not have heard of Brian Melvin and his amazing black bear out of New Jersey - dressed out at 770 pounds, but Robbie gets the scoop from him in this episode of Blood Origins. You would be mistaken to think that this Black Bear would have had to come out of the great north, but in fact it came out of New Jersey, the state with the high density of black bears in North America, but also now can claim the largest bears too! With a little math, it works out to be the unofficial biggest black bear in the world, and Brian dives deep into the incredible journey this bear took him on, and the reward of finally connecting with him in a Jersey swamp in October. This is a fascinating episode as Brian describes how he hunts for big black bears like someone would hunt for a big mature whitetail - Robbie had never heard of people hunting particular bears like that and lends itself for an amazing conversation.

Roundup 141 || The Washington State Train Wreck, Show Season Madness, Pink Eye And More!
It’s just Robbie flying solo today since Ashlee is out with pink eye (sorry Ashlee, Robbie did you dirty on this roundup!) and after showing off his hat collection and blasting the Washington State conservation disaster, he reflects on a great - but crazy - show season, shares some cool stuff he’s seen from exhibitors, and issues a special call to action for outdoor groups to work TOGETHER. Listen in and shoot a text to our call-in line at 601-790-0607 to wish Ashlee a speedy recovery.

Episode 529 - Tana Grenda || Women Who Hunt
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!

Episode 528 - Wahine Wapiti || The Power Of The Outdoors
Wahine (AKA “woman” or “girl” in Maori, the native language of New Zealand) Wapiti, is a brand new woman’s outdoors program that takes women out in one of the most formidable, grueling backcountries in the world, the Fiordland on the South Island of New Zealand. This podcast is not to be missed as it explains what these amazing women are getting out of the experience. From not knowing each other at all to celebrating the great outdoors together, reconnecting with nature and the landscape, is what it is all about. For the vast majority it leads to a life changing experience.
