Robbie Kroger, In the Blood
It’s all about hunting values. It’s a cold January morning preceding Dallas Safari Club. Blood Origins producer Robbie Kroger breaks for coffee with Ramsey Russell before interviewing Weatherby Award winners. In a time that sport hunting is increasingly marginalized, that trophy hunting is said to be evil, Robbie’s Blood Origins project has given an authentic, selfless voice to hunting. Why it’s “in the blood” speaks importantly to the non-hunting majority and to hunters themselves. What’s your why?
