If you walk the rows of the Safari Club International Convention—known as the Super Bowl of hunting shows—prepare for sensory overload. Every aisle is a trail leading to different adventures across the globe. Perhaps there’s a buffalo safari in Tanzania, a brown bear hunt on Kodiak Island, or an elk hunting foray to Arizona in your future? If fishing and bird hunting are more your taste, there are plenty of wild adventures awaiting in the Amazon, Argentina and Bolivia—golden dorado, anyone?

Tens of thousands of hunters from all corners of our planet will descend on the Music City Center in Nashville for the unrivaled sporting extravaganza January 22-25. The show is a four-day hunters networking happy hour, complete with nearly 1,000 exhibitors, 20 auctions, live entertainment from music acts to popular comedians, and firearm and taxidermy displays of all kinds. A variety of seminars to help hunters embrace the wide world of hunting sports are part of the convention as well—led by subject experts from across the globe.
