Hard Truths of Conservation - Great Britain's Deer

The second half of this season of Hard Truths of Conservation is picking up with a topic that’s circulating throughout Europe and the United Kingdom presently. The long-standing tradition of hunting has a rich history in both locations, but does it have a place in present-day conservation? It’s a question that must be asked, as the hunting and outdoor landscape changes with societal norms. 

In this episode, Dan Cabela travels between Scotland and England to learn how land managers balance conservation with wild-food harvesting. Understanding the root of all the pressure to change is first on his list of topics to tackle. Then, he’s off for a traditional hunt with the very people who are trying to protect this sacred way of life.

Don’t miss this new episode airing tomorrow, Saturday, August 17th at 9:00am EST in the outdoors block on the History channel. And in case you missed it last season, there will be an encore presentation of ”Hunting The Kiwi Wilds", immediately following at 9:30am EST.
