Dan Cabela

Dan Cabela was born and raised in Sidney, NE and was introduced to conservation, hunting, and fishing by his father at a very young age.

This early introduction took hold, as now 200+ days in the field each year is common. Whether in the cornfields of Iowa or the mountain tops of Ethiopia, participation with and around wildlife is a prime objective. He is the host of “Hard Truths of Conservation,” a television series which airs on Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, and is dedicated to teaching the masses about sustainable use through hunting and conservation. He is currently the Executive Director of the Cabela Family Foundation which aims to build and create partnerships and projects which promote outdoor recreation, conservation, and charity toward others.

Dan graduated from the University of Texas in 1992 with honors, achieving a Bachelor of Arts degree and has worked and participated in the outdoor arena for most of his life. Dan and his wife Darlene are in their 32nd year of marriage and live on their ranch in Dripping Springs, TX where they raise endangered and at-risk species such as Dama Gazelle, Kenyan Mountain Bongo, Addax, Nile Lechwe, and others. They also own and operate Asante Lodging and Events, a best-in-class, short-term-stay venue which borders their ranch. They have three wonderful children, and the entire family is active in outdoor and wildlife participation.
