Pursuit Channel, a premier network for hunting, fishing, shooting, and outdoor lifestyle programming, proudly highlights one of its most impactful and widely followed series: Hard Truths of Conservation with Dan Cabela.
Hosted by outdoor industry legend Dan Cabela — son of Cabela's founders Dick and Mary Cabela and a lifelong advocate for the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation — Hard Truths of Conservation delivers straight-talking, fact-based discussions on the real issues facing hunters, anglers, trappers, and habitat today.
Each episode tackles tough, sometimes controversial topics head-on: chronic wasting disease management, predator-prey imbalances, public-land access battles, anti-hunting legislation, habitat loss, funding shortfalls for state wildlife agencies, and the growing disconnect between urban populations and the outdoor world. Dan combines data, expert guests, field reporting, and his own decades of experience to cut through rhetoric and deliver actionable insights that matter to sportsmen and women.
"Dan Cabela doesn't shy away from hard conversations — and that's exactly why Hard Truths of Conservation resonates so deeply with our audience," said Rusty Faulk, CEO of Pursuit Media. "In a time when hunting and conservation face more threats than ever, Dan provides clarity, courage, and leadership. With 158.4 million total viewers reached across platforms in 2025 and continued strong growth, Pursuit Channel is proud to be the home of this essential series."
"Conservation isn't a feel-good slogan — it's hard work, tough choices, and sometimes uncomfortable truths," said Dan Cabela. "Pursuit Channel gives us the platform to have those real conversations with millions of sportsmen and women who care deeply about the future of hunting and wildlife. I'm honored to be part of their lineup."
