Hard Truths of Conservation - Wild Harvest

No matter how far back you look in history, the consumption of wild game is well documented. From neanderthals to Native Americans, being able to provide wild protein could’ve often meant the difference in survival. Today, harvesting wild game to eat is no longer a fixture for many, but for those who still try to source their own, it does come its fair share of controversy.

Dan Cabela is on a mission to better understand how wild-harvested protein contributes economically and culturally to society in North America. He meets up with North America’s foremost leading expert on sustainable harvest of wild game, Shane Mahoney. Shane has dedicated his life to digging in and researching/quantifying the social and economic impact wild-harvested food has. His research and findings has become focal points for thoughtful discussion on the topic around the world.
