Cabela's has partnered with National Hunting and Fishing Day, Sept. 22, and will host special, open-to-the-public events at its retail stores. The outdoors retailer hopes the program will increase participation in fishing.
"Cabela's shares the National Hunting and Fishing Day mission of educating the public, building appreciation and increasing participation in the outdoor sports," says Dennis Highby, President and CEO of Cabela's. "By combining the educational aspects of National Hunting and Fishing Day events with the wow-factor of a Cabela's retail store, we can give anyone interested in the outdoors a kick-start to adventure."
Since 1971, National Hunting and Fishing Day, founded and fostered by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, has been called the most effective grass-roots campaign ever undertaken to promote fishing, hunting and the conservation benefits they provide for all Americans who appreciate wildlife and wild places.
