Learn about the great outdoors and pick up tips on hunting, fishing and wildlife at several events held around the state Sept. 17-21 in celebration of National Hunting and Fishing Day.
Activities include a "Get Outdoors" outdoor expo from 7-11 a.m. at Tempe Town Lake on Sept. 22, a mini-expo at the Tucson Sportsman's Warehouse store on Sept. 22, and various seminars or booths in the Phoenix, Tucson and Kingman areas Sept. 17-21.
"The events provide the opportunity for people of all experience levels to learn about or enhance their knowledge of the great outdoors and outdoor recreation pursuits," says Tristanna Bickford, hunting recruitment and retention coordinator for the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
National Hunting and Fishing Day was established by Congress in 1971 to recognize hunters and anglers for their contributions to wildlife conservation.
