Protecting Traditions Through Conservation
On this week's episode of Hard Truths of Conservation, Dan Cabela embarks on a journey throughout the United Kingdom. He takes a close look at the hunting traditions, exploring bird shoots, grouse moors, and even a traditional red stag hunt. Through all of these stops, Dan finds himself discovering the evolving and fascinating role of hunting in conservation throughout the country.
The history of hunting in the UK is very rich and full of unique stories that are passed down from generation to generation. Many of the people Dan encounters are living life outdoors just as their family did before them. Staying closely connected to the land and wildlife is engrained into who they are. However, today's hunters find themselves at odds with a societal shift which has painted an unclear and skewed picture of these time-honored traditions.
