About this episode

Patrick O’Reilly discusses social license and the sociology of hunting with a focus on its implications in the UK and globally.

Patrick O’Reilly, a social scientist hired by the British Association of Shooting and Conservation was hired 2 years ago to connect about social license and the sociology that “allows” people to hunt chock full of information between an irishman talking to a South African about social license and how it extrapolates onto the narrative around hunting not just in Europe or far flung places but right here at home and all around the world.
