EP 358: Tradition and Progress with Blood Origin Robert Kroger




The Rich Outdoors show

Summary: Today I am joined by Robert Kroger, Jordan Reasoner, and Drew Seals to talk about hunting as a heritage and the balance of tradition vs progress within hunting. Robert is the Founder of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT1Hc819ExAHyh3CUGssXiw">Blood Origins</a> a great video series capturing the “why” of hunters across every type of hunter and even nonhunter you can imagine. The Blood Origins crew are masters at storytelling and Robert has quite the story himself growing up in South Africa. Roberts Grandpa was one of those great old hunters you read about with grand adventures. Robert shares some of those grand adventures and we talk about the evolution of a hunter. A great conversation with great people.<br> Today’s podcast is brought to you by On X Hunt and they have a special Fathers day promotion going on right now through Saturday.

I pumped about the new solo targets too because I use the crap out of them. We all know that you should train like you fight or practice as close to the real thing as you can. Solo Targets are an archery target allow you to practice on a truly life-size, hyper-realistic target. Here is why I like Solo Targets, besides the fact that I get to shoot at giant bulls every day. The <a href="http://solotargets.com/">Solo Target</a> is a hyper-realistic skin that can be used in conjunction with pretty much any block or target you already have. The solo skin also forces you into a much more real-life scenario where you have to pick a spot on the animal and not a circle on a target. Solo Targets has launched a bunch of new targets this year and you can pick whatever species you want from elk, sheep, ibex, deer, you name it.
