Bison and Rhinos share a common thread

This week on Hard Truths of Conservation, Dan Cabela heads to Wyoming, and then Nebraska, where he learns about the recovery of a North American icon — the American Bison. Dan seeks to understand the role that utilization has played in bringing this species back from the brink of extinction. Due to the demand for their hides, market hunting almost wiped them out in the late 1800s, but conservation has brought them back. 

From there, Dan and the HTC crew are off to South Africa, where they dive into how land ownership plays a vital role in sustaining the hunting model which the country depends so much on.
