West Virginia Hunting and Fishing Show to Begin Jan. 30
Special to Huntingtonnews.net
Charleston, WV (HNN) -- Safari companies from Africa, a red stag outfitter from New Zealand, elk hunt outfitters from the Rockies, bear hunt guides from Canada, and fishing charter captains from the Great Lakes are among the many professionals that will be converging on the Charleston Civic Center on January 30th through February 1st. They will be arriving to participate in the annual West Virginia Hunting and Fishing Show . This event is the biggest hunting and fishing show and the largest paid exposition in West Virginia. It has been West Virginia’s premier hunting and fishing show since 1987.
The show is produced by the non-profit West Virginia Trophy Hunters Association and manned by unpaid volunteers. The proceeds, above show and organizational expenses, go to wildlife conservation and youth outdoor educational activities. This award winning organization has worked tirelessly for wildlife and fishery conservation in West Virginia. Its mission, beyond wildlife conservation, is defending our hunting heritage. Other than dues paid by the members, the annual show and auction are their sole source of funding.
Hunters and fishermen alike look forward to this show every year. It provides high quality vendors and gives sportsmen a chance to view and buy the latest in hunting and fishing equipment and attire. The show also provides an opportunity to speak with guides, outfitters and fishing charter groups, to arrange the dream trips of a lifetime. Every year some West Virginia hunters book their first African big game hunt or their first elk hunt at the show. Others, pleased with their past experiences, come to renew acquaintances or book follow up trips.
With over 230 vendor booths, the West Virginia Whitetail Hall of Fame, the West Virginia Wildlife Charity Auction, coyote hunting seminars, this show has something for every outdoor enthusiast. During the day on Saturday, "Thunder" the American eagle, along with other birds of prey from the West Virginia Raptor Rehabilitation Center, will interest young and old alike. Their appearance is normally from mid morning until late afternoon. For more show information visit the website at: http://www.wvtrophyhunters.com
The auction of hunting and fishing trips, and other items will be Saturday at 5 PM.
