In this episode of Wild Life Outdoors, Jose and Russell share some recent life changes and discuss exciting updates coming to the podcast. The episode kicks off with the “Jackwagon of the Week” segment, where they call out a man caught poaching bald eagles, shedding light on the importance of respecting wildlife laws and conservation.

The conversation then dives into the legacy of Teddy Roosevelt and his groundbreaking influence on conservation efforts in America, followed by a celebration of the anniversary of A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold, a book that has inspired generations to appreciate and protect the natural world.

Finally, Jose and Russell tackle the complex topic of “Ballot Biology,” discussing how conservation laws are often shaped by public votes, which can sometimes be driven more by emotion than by scientific evidence. They explore the implications of this approach and consider whether voting is always the best way to manage conservation issues.

Tune in for an engaging mix of updates, historical insights, and thought-provoking discussions on the challenges of modern conservation.
