The Lone Star Bowhunters Association will be in attendance with tips and tactics for young and beginning archers.In conjunction with the expo, Texas Dog Hunter's Association hold their annual "Hunt for the Hungry" contest. Dog hunters from across the state bring in their best catches of the weekend in hopes of winning big money and prizes. All the wild pork generated from the contest is donated to Hunter's Harvest which turns the meat into sausage and distributes it to the poor of Texas. In 2009, over seventy teams registered. 285 hogs were harvested producing 28,657 pounds of meat.The next Expo is set for March 6 & 7, 2010. Make plans early to be there!
