August 19, 2024

Annual Fall Hunting Classic sale and event to include free in-store kids’ activities, special offers and educational sessions

WHAT:

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s is kicking off the return of the fall hunting season with its Fall Hunting Classic sale and event. This annual celebration of North America’s hunting traditions and legacy of conservation offers outdoor enthusiasts a place to prepare for the season ahead with upgraded gear, informative presentations and chats with local conservation groups, and a chance for the next generation of hunters to try their hand at archery.

Family-friendly Youth Day Activities

Free family-friendly fun is a hallmark of Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s. During Youth Day from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 17, youngsters will receive a free Kids’ Duck Decoy (while supplies last) and a free photo download, and an Inflatable Archery Range will give the next generation a chance to try their hand at the sport with target practice. Youth workshops will educate participants about wildlife in the U.S. and encourage them to spend time in nature.

Hunting Trip Sweepstakes and Trade-in Deals

Between now and Aug. 28, outdoor enthusiasts will be able to trade in their old gear – including Bows and Crossbows, Game Cameras, Optics and Hunting Boots – and earn up to $200 savings on new gear for their new hunts. Gift cards also will be offered for firearms trade-ins, with up to $150 available. All trade-ins of old gear will earn 100 bonus entries into a drawing for the Hunting Trip of a Lifetime – a waterfowl hunt at Habitat Flats with Tony Vandemore, a whitetail hunt with Wade Middleton or a Utah elk hunt with Mark Peterson.

Learn from the Pros

Throughout Fall Hunting Classic, local pros and Outfitters will lead educational Q&A sessions to help hunters make the most of their time outside in the fall and winter ahead. Topics of discussion will range from selecting gear for the hunt to executing new techniques in the deer stand and beyond.
