Blood Origins Australia Hunt Raffle
In order for us to do the work that we need to do in Australia, we have undertaken a Raffle of all Raffles! Three incredible hunts in Australia to raise funds for Blood Origins Australia work. The money raised through this raffle will be used to fulfill the mission of Blood Origins and create content for storytelling, documentary work, education, and conservation project implementation in Australia specifically.
Three lucky tickets have been randomly drawn, and in the order in which the tickets are drawn, the lucky winners choose which hunt they want to take. Three Winners. Three amazing hunts.
We have also drawn 3 additional names that will receive an AMAZING custom knife from Robert Herbert!
Thank you for your support. We plan to do this RAFFLE every year. This time next year we will DO IT AGAIN, with an added twist that you will like!

ADVISORY TEAM
Dr. Todd Wallace (PhD, BAppSci, Hons)
I am a freshwater ecologist, a volunteer with the SA State Emergency Service, president of my local archery club, a club-level competitive archer, and a qualified archery coach. I have been involved with archery and firearms for over 35 years and have been a bow hunter since 2011. I have more than two decades worth of experience building productive relationships with natural resource management agencies and community groups with complex scientific and social perspectives to develop effective decision management systems. I am a strong advocate of hunter education and marksmanship competency programs, and sustainable use of wildlife. I do not consider hunting to be a sport, or a recreational activity, but to be a lifestyle choice that I use to provide food for myself and my family. I decided to join BOA to help counter the misinformation that is often used by lobby groups to persuade politicians to make decisions that have no beneficial impact to wildlife and habitat conservation.
Jim Miller
Jim is a father of two. Butcher by trade, he has been hunting since 1983 from the age of 13 trapping rabbits and then moving on to larger game in 1987. Like most Australians most of his hunting/shooting was always in the name of pest management with a lot of shoot to waste even though I harvested as much meat as possible. Hunting and pest management has been his career for much of his life, working in agriculture and then Government in Biosecurity and now back to self-employment in pest management, primarily wild dog management.
Hunting is my way of life, it’s in my culture and heritage. “I take this opportunity to join BOA because I feel I can offer a perspective of hunting and humanity that brings it back to reality for the average non-hunting mum and dad. It gives me great pleasure to be part of a team of like-minded people trying to make a difference in our way of life.”

Ky Furneaux
Ky is an international award-winning Hollywood Stunt Performer. Her athletic ability and fight training has helped her land some notable stuntwoman jobs and in 2012, she was named the best stuntwoman in the World at the Taurus Stunt Awards. She is the Outdoor Ambassador for NSW and ACT. Ky has joined the team at BOA because she believes in every person’s right to sustainably source their own food. Being a bow hunter herself, she is concerned at the trend of hunting rights being taken away from individuals around Australia due to false or misleading information. She believes that it is very important for hunters to have a united voice in these times more than ever to prevent this from happening and can see the huge positive impact that Blood Origins has worldwide.

Ben Salleras grew up in the wet tropics of Far North Queensland, Australia. He hunted wild pigs with bow and arrow with his father from the age of six in the early 90s and has been actively hunting ever since. He enjoys living a tropical outdoors lifestyle with his wife and young son and is passionate about sourcing quality wild and home-grown foods that are plentiful in the tropics. Ben is passionate about the defense, protection, and promotion of global modern hunting culture in all its forms, and has been a strong supporter of Blood Origins since its inception, and is very excited to be joining the team officially. He looks forward to collaborating and working with the BOA team toward our common goal, sharing the truth about hunting.

Shane Broadby
Shane Broadby has lived in Tasmania his entire life and was born into a hunting and fishing family. He has been lucky enough to hunt and fish in several mainland states and territories and in several international locations. “For me one of the most important things about hunting and fishing are the memories you make. I truly believe that what Blood Origins does in the community, with changing the perception of hunting will allow us all to keep hunting and so make more memories in the future.”
