    Podcast 174 - Goose Conservation - Lobster Boil - Broken Ankle

    In this episode of The Green Way Outdoors Podcast, Kyle, Ryan, and AJ cover everything from animal ethics to busted ankles, and Hawaiian monk seal justice. The conversation starts with a wild new law about boiling lobsters alive and turns into a bigger discussion about respecting the animals we eat, whether we hunt, fish, cook, or harvest them from the ocean. The guys also talk about Kyle’s broken ankle, saving an injured goose tangled in netting, old family firearms, punt guns, and the viral story of a tourist throwing a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal. In this episode: * The UK law against boiling lobsters, octopus, and crabs alive * Whether boiling a lobster alive is actually humane or not * Why hunters and anglers should care about making death as quick and respectful as possible * Kyle’s story of saving a young goose with netting embedded in its mouth and tongue * The difference between loving wildlife and still participating in hunting and conservation * Kyle’s ridiculous broken ankle story involving goose poop sandals and kabobs * Kyle’s grandfather’s 1960 Winchester 30-30 and why heirlooms mean so much * The history and insanity of punt commercial duck hunting * Hawaiian monk seal facts and why they are so heavily protected * The viral story of a tourist throwing a rock at a monk seal and what happened afterward  Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:  HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors  & WAYPOINT TV: https://waypointtv.com/watch/the-green-way-outdoors  Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=en Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_g Website: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on: FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

    Podcast 173 - Wildlife Hunting Fishing Conservation Game Show

    This week on The Green Way Outdoors Podcast, we dive into the viral claim that deer antlers have “memory” and break down what science actually says about trophic memory and antler development. We also discuss the growing controversy surrounding Oregon’s proposed hunting and farming ballot initiative, concerns about chronic wasting disease, and what these debates could mean for hunters and conservation. Then things take a turn as we launch our new wildlife game show, putting the crew’s animal knowledge to the test with bizarre facts about sloths, octopuses, wombats, sea cucumbers, and some creatures you probably wish you never learned existed. Topics include: • Deer antler memory and trophic memory • Oregon hunting and farming controversy • Chronic wasting disease discussion • Sloths, octopuses, wombats, and other strange wildlife • The debut of Wildlife Wonders Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors & WAYPOINT TV: https://waypointtv.com/watch/the-green-way-outdoors Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=en Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_g Website: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on: FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

    Podcast 171 - How Trees & Birds Think-Good Intentions Kill Crayfish

    In this episode, we discuss something that seems simple. Trees are one of the most familiar living things on Earth, but when you really stop and think about how they work, they start to feel almost impossible. We break down the science of how trees grow, what they are actually made of, and how something weighing thousands of pounds can seem to come from almost nothing. Then we dive into a sad story of good intentions gone wrong. An Englishwoman tried to save a crayfish, but somehow ended up killing it instead. It is a weird, funny, and surprisingly educational example of how good intentions in nature can sometimes go completely sideways. We also explore new science about how birds navigate across massive distances. From magnetic fields to visual landmarks to biological systems we are still trying to fully understand, bird migration is one of the most incredible examples of design.  Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:  HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors  &  WAYPOINT TV: https://waypointtv.com/watch/the-green-way-outdoors  Follow us on:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=en  Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_g  Website: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on: FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

    Podcast 170 -One Buck Rule, APRs, Baiting? - Michigan Whitetail Deer -The Green Way Outdoors Podcast

    In this episode, we break down the real situation behind Michigan’s deer policies. The buck to doe ratio problem. The drop in harvest numbers. The science being used to justify new rules. And the growing frustration from hunters who feel like things just aren’t adding up. Should Michigan move to a one buck rule for deer hunting? We break down one of the biggest debates in Michigan deer management right now. The conversation covers the Lower Peninsula specifically and digs into the real issues hunters keep bringing up, including buck to doe ratio concerns, antler point restrictions, the bait ban, harvest numbers, hunter satisfaction, disease concerns, and whether Michigan is actually creating better deer management or just adding more restrictions. We talk through the major sides of the argument. Some hunters believe a one buck rule would help create more selective harvest and improve the age structure of bucks. Others believe an earn a buck system would make more sense by requiring doe harvest before buck harvest, which could more directly address the imbalance between bucks and does. We also get into the argument over APRs, how they work in Michigan now, and whether they truly help improve buck quality or simply protect deer with poor antler traits that should not stay in the breeding pool. We also dives into the controversy around the Lower Peninsula bait ban and the belief that reduced harvest numbers may actually be making Michigan’s deer issues worse instead of better. Kyle explains why he believes any serious deer management plan has to stay consistent with the science being used to justify it. If the concern is disease spread and overpopulation, then the state has to look honestly at whether current rules are helping hunters remove enough deer from the landscape. Along the way, we talk about hunting ethics, managing wounded or genetically poor deer in the field, how different Michigan regions should be treated differently, why hunter input matters, and why accurate deer reporting is critical if the DNR and hunters are ever going to get on the same page. This is a real conversation about conservation, deer management, hunting culture, regulations, and what the future of Michigan deer season should actually look like. If you care about Michigan deer hunting, whitetail management, the DNR, APRs, the bait ban, doe harvest, trophy buck potential, wildlife policy, or the future of hunting in the Midwest, this is a conversation worth hearing. Watch the full podcast and join the conversation in the comments. What makes the most sense for Michigan: one buck rule, earn a buck, APR changes, bringing back baiting, or a totally different solution? #MichiganDeerHunting #OneBuckRule #WhitetailDeer #DeerManagement #MichiganDNR #APR #BaitBan #BuckToDoeRatio #EarnABuck #WhitetailHunting #DeerSeason #HuntingPodcast #Conservation #WildlifeManagement #TheGreenWayOutdoors Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on: FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

    Podcast 169 -Travel Treats -Ancient Modern Objects -Science of Jesus

    Podcast 169 of The Green Way Outdoors starts on a sweet note as Jeff brings in homemade Malva Pudding made from his South African recipe, a rich dessert known for its soft texture, warm caramel flavor, and deep roots in South African cooking. From there, the crew jumps into a wild taste test featuring rainbow wire, a strange and colorful Canadian candy, before finishing things off with classic meringue cookies, the light, airy dessert made from whipped egg whites and sugar. Along the way, Kyle shares his thoughts on food allergies and what might really be going on behind the growing number of people dealing with them. The conversation takes a hard turn into mystery, history, and big questions. Ryan brings up archaeological discoveries and artifacts that seem out of place or out of time, opening the door to a discussion about ancient technology, unexplained objects, and the mysteries that continue to challenge mainstream timelines. Kyle also breaks down lessons he learned from Kent Hovind and others on Noah’s Flood, flood geology, fossil formation, and the debate surrounding biblical evidence, sediment layers, and catastrophic events in Earth’s past. The team also reflects on a powerful Easter Sunday sermon that explored the science, historical evidence, and proof surrounding Jesus, faith, and the resurrection. On top of that, the crew tackles the question of what fossil fuels really are, including oil, coal, and natural gas, and how they are believed to form from ancient organic matter deep within the Earth. They also react to a shocking new penalty for scammers in Singapore, discuss sunken treasure and who has the legal right to claim it, and bring their usual mix of humor, curiosity, debate, and real conversation to every topic. From desserts and candy to archaeology, Christianity, Noah’s Flood, fossil fuels, treasure law, and world news, this episode covers a little bit of everything.
