The 13th annual Rochester Sportsmen's Show will be held on March 2 to 4 at the Monroe County Fairgrounds, Henrietta NY, in both the Dome and newly renovated Minett halls.

This year OSEG brings back 'Wild Wings' live raptor display with an assortment of hawks, owls, and falcons. Wild Wings is a nonprofit organization that houses and cares for permanently injured birds of prey while promoting their well-being through public education.

The Rochester Sportsmen's Show has a great cross section of equipment, seminars, outfitters, guides and offerings at the most competitive, thus lowest cost, to show goers.

The Rochester Bass Masters brings the Kids Casting competition back to the show for all kids between ages 7 and 14. Competitions, prizes and certificates will all be held on Sunday.

Appearing for the first time will be the Hank Peters Lumberjack Show! This is truly a special event.

The nation's top buck hunting expert Dick Scorzafava, with his insightful and practical deer hunting tips, is credited with being the top whitetail expert in the nation. He will cover calls, scents, rattling, tracking, still hunting and stand hunting. Dick has released his new book 'The Radical Bowhunter' to sellout shelves across the country. He will be signing copies at his booth.

One of the big attractions will be the NRA Great American Whitetail Collection. With whitetail racks reproduced in fiberglass, this stunning display of mounts represents some of the most famous and highest-scoring whitetails in the world. The collection consists of 10 whitetails and epitomizes the dreams of every whitetail hunter in North America. This display is in a vendors booth that only allows 18 years or older to enter.

Doug Jowett will demonstrate fly fishing techniques with individual hands-on lessons and casting techniques at the casting pool. He will add yards to the casts of beginners, and feet to the presentations of experts.

The 'Sportfishing Simulator' will be on hand for "free" interactive battles with Salmon, Smallmouth and Lakers to be landed.

Mike Weaver, the number one man in the world for taking record book whitetails with a bow, will have his 40+ Pope and Young trophy bucks on display. None of his mounts are plastic; they are all real racks. Catch his informative seminars as well.

Also there will be seminars by local bass experts Lou Rissotti and Matt Martin who share their knowledge of the local waters and how to fish them. Between them both they have traded wins at the Rochester Bass Classic many times sharing top spots on the tournaments' records.
