The Origins Foundation Podcast

Russell De La Harpe, owner of Backcountry Africa, joins Robbie for another Helix program episode to talk about the incredible conservation benefits of his outfit on the landscape and wildlife of his home in Zimbabwe and Zambia. Now, you as an individual, non hunting public member or even as a hunter can see and hear firsthand what these operators and outfitters are doing for conservation on the ground. This is the whole point of the Helix program, to create a vehicle to disseminate information on the benefits that come from hunting with these operators and outfitters as it relates to people, wildlife, and communities.

In one of our most accent-ridden podcasts ever, Robbie interviews three wildfowlers (Dave Upton, William Wykes, and Gerald Carlile) from all over the United Kingdom about their exploits in the marsh, the community and culture around “wildfowling” in the UK and the traditions they share. If you thought you heard some hectic accents before on the podcast - just wait till you listen to this one. However the topics that are covered in this podcast are the root of hunting worldwide, but focused on wildfowling (aka duck hunting in America). The individuals and Robbie explore the tradition, heritage, and elements that make wildfowling what it is, they even explore punt-gunning, though banned in the US, is still something you can do in the UK. Importantly the entire group talks about how self-regulating the waterfowling / wildfowling community is and why they self-regulate themselves. This is a must listen to podcast!

Robbie and the team were recently in England to undertake a documentary around the heritage and story around wildfowling - the UK's version of duck hunting (but don't tell them thats what they do). The British Association Of Shooting And Conservation (BASC) does a ton of work on wildlife, conservation and, of course, shooting. Robbie catches up with two of their researchers in the wild fowling department while he stopped in to visit BASC headquarters. Sophie and Heather explain the scientific rigor and information gathered from the sport for conservation in the UK.
