A professional snake handler with a 260-square-foot rattlesnake pit will give demonstrations at the event filled to the brim with sportsmen’s delights.
Brian Doty, host of the cable television show “Extreme Outdoor Adventures,” will bring his menagerie of mounted animals from across the globe. After he unloads his 32-foot trailer, visitors will get to see a pronghorn antelope from South Dakota, an oryx from Africa, a buffalo and a small whitetail Mexican deer.
Doty said he is excited about holding seminars about bow hunting.
“I just love hunting, because I love outdoors, not having cell phones ringing or TVs blaring,” Doty said. “Bow hunting is more challenging because you are in their environment. You get to see how they react to other deer, how they hold their ears.”
Other events set for the Expo include a pro dog trainer with Sit Means Sit Dog Training, who will demonstrate training methods, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department display of its Operation Game Thief trailer. Texas Motor Speedway will have a show car on display, give away race tickets and have door prizes and interactive games.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets cost $5 for general admission and $2 for military members with proper identification. Children younger than 10 are free.
