Umarex Airguns is proud to support the Arkansas chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers by sponsoring the 2026 Black Bear Bonanza, taking place Saturday, March 7 at the Benton County Fairgrounds in Bentonville.

This year's event celebrates the ongoing success of the black bear reintroduction in Arkansas alongside a full day of activities dedicated to hunting, fishing, conservation, and outdoor recreation.

What's happening at the Black Bear Bonanza:

  • Multiple raffle opportunities with dozens of prizes up for grabs - including select Umarex airguns.
  • Exhibits and interactive booths from conservation partners, public-land advocates, and outdoor brands.
  • Food trucks will be serving a variety of options throughout the day.
  • Networking with fellow conservationists, hunters and meet-and-greets with "This Country Life" podcaster Brent Reeves, Bear Newcomb of the "Bear Grease" podcast and new BHA CEO Ryan Callaghan of the "MeatEater" podcast and video series.

Whether you're into conservation, hunting, or outdoor gear and community, the Black Bear Bonanza brings people together to celebrate public lands and wildlife stewardship.

Be sure to stop by the Umarex Airguns booth to say hello and see what's new for 2026!
