The Origins Foundation Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Returning guest (and Arizona Game and Fish Commissioner) James "Jim" Goughnour joins to discuss another controversial March decision by the AZGFC to reject all three remaining big game auction tags in Arizona (mule deer, elk and sheep) in favor of a more competitive, raffle-esque allocation system in order to give ‘Joe Six Pack’ - or the common man - a real shot at hunting desert sheep. You would have seen conversations about this, emails about this, and wondered if this is actually a good thing or a bad thing. Robbie and Jim get into the nitty grittty of the decision, whether there will be a "told-you so" moment in the future, and whether in this case, bold decisions yields great benefits for wildlife and hunters.

Josh Hartwick, CEO of Feathers and Sheds Unlimited, joins Robbie on this week’s show to be a part of the first of our ‘Connecting The Dots’ content series where we wanted to discuss where Nilgai fit into the landscape as an introduced species in Texas from his perspective as a wildlife manager on the ranch on which we produced our content. This podcast is part of a content piece that focuses on where the meat from Nilgai goes when it enters the proverbial food chain in South Texas.

Trophy hunting. Is it only for ‘rich white dudes’? Proponents of sweeping bans on the sport will often say trophy hunting by rich and wealthy individuals that were colonialists, and has roots in oppression. Robbie breaks down why that line of thinking isn’t true, and provides proof in this less than 5 minute listen.

To answer, we need to define what a big tusker is - which is an Elephant typically defined as a 90 for 100 pound elephant for one tusk. The simple answer is, nobody has data for how many ‘Big Tuskers’ there are on the African continent today. Statistically speaking, though, there should be more than 40.
