Can you believe it has been 31 years? Well, it has! It is that time of year again when hunters and outdoorsmen from across Texas head south to the McAllen Convention Center July 22-24 to experience one of the best outdoor shows in the country.
“We have had solid crowds over the past 30 years and the show’s attendance continues to grow each year,” said expo director Justin Curl. “This 3-day weekend event is expected to draw several thousand hunting and fishing enthusiasts and visitors from both sides of the border. It really gets bigger and better every year.”
Exhibits for everyone, including women and children, and all types of retailers representing all price levels will be on-hand for attendees to check out.
“If you’re a lady hunter or angler, it’s the best of both worlds,” Curl said.
Want to go on a great hunt? The Texas Hunters & Sportsman’s Expo is recognized as the highest-quality hunting and fishing show in South Texas, with outfitters from across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Africa booking hunts.

Manufacturers and dealers will also be on-hand offering special show prices on hunting blinds, ATVs, camouflage clothing, ranching equipment, tractors, hunting accessories, supplies and more.
