Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s celebrates fall with big savings and family-friendly activities during the Fall Hunting Classic Sale and Event

Annual event includes unbeatable sales, free in-store kids’ activities, special offers and educational conservation seminars

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, the annual celebration of North America’s hunting traditions and legacy of conservation, now through Aug. 27. Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned pro, Bass Pro’s team of expert Outfitters is excited to share tips and tricks to help make happy memories with loved ones in the outdoors.

Everyone is invited to celebrate the Fall Hunting Classic at a free Customer Cookout at all U.S. locations, starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9, with free food and refreshments while visiting with Outfitters and fellow outdoor enthusiasts.

Free family-friendly fun is a hallmark of Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s, and Youth Day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 16, will feature everything to celebrate our young outdoor enthusiasts. Our team of expert Outfitters will discuss hunter safety and tree stand safety, educate participants about wildlife in the U.S. and encourage them to spend time in nature.

Throughout the Fall Hunting Classic, local pros will make appearances and lead educational sessions to help hunters make the most of their time outside this fall. Topics of discussion will range from selecting gear for the hunt to executing new techniques in the deer stand and beyond – all while highlighting the vital role hunters play in conservation.

Additionally, families can share their cherished hunting photos for a chance to be featured on the Johnny Morris Bass Pro Shops Kids’ Braggin’ Board. The online photo board is a great way to keep a record of a memorable day and share with family, friends and loved ones that great hunt. For more details, visit Kids' Braggin' Board.
