Few events can produce three consecutive decades of attendance, but Texas Hunters and Sportsman’s Expo is coming back once again. It is that time of year when hunters and outdoorsmen from across Texas head south to the McAllen Convention Center July 21-23 to experience one of the most popular outdoor shows in the country — the Texas Hunters and Sportsman’s Expo.
“We have had solid crowds over the past 31 years and the show’s attendance continues to grow each year,” said show director Justin Curl. “This three-day weekend event is expected to draw several thousand hunting and fishing enthusiasts and visitors from both sides of the border.”
Exhibits for everyone, especially including women and children, and all types of retailers will be on hand for attendees to check out.
“Another thing we want to focus on this year is the fact that we are going to have items for everyone, as usual, and a variety of exhibits to enjoy,” Curl said.
Want to go on a great hunt? The 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 for white-tailed deer, big game, exotics, bear, moose, elk, mule deer, turkey, quail, dove, pheasant and waterfowl.
Is fishing more your thing? Come and speak with trophy guides for bass and saltwater game fish. Also, a huge display of boats, motors, rods, reels, fishing lights, tackle and more are waiting for you this year.
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.
“This is a show the entire family can enjoy,” Curl said. “There is something here for everyone.”
