The Bass Pro Shops Fall Hunting Classic takes place at the Manteca store, Union Road and the 120 Bypass from Aug. 2-18.
“The Fall Hunting Classics are a popular tradition at Bass Pro Shops,” said Tammy Sapp, Bass Pro Shops’ communications director. “For more than 20 years now, hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts have attended this free event to learn how they can be more successful in the field while staying safe and comfortable with appropriate clothing and gear. Hunters also love to get a firsthand look at all the latest products.”
During the Fall Hunting Classic, nationally recognized professional hunters, local pros and/or outdoorsmen and women will be at the Manteca store to give seminars and talk about their experiences.
The event kicks-off with Bass Pro Shops Hunting University, which features free classes taught by top pros. (Appearances, times and topics are subject to change.)
