Everyone from the novice first-timer to the old-timer at home in a tree stand is welcome at the 2026 Deer Hunting Conference and Expo set for Saturday, Aug. 15, at Metro Tech Springlake Campus in Oklahoma City.
Join fellow hunters from across Oklahoma for a day dedicated to learning, conservation, fellowship, and improving your deer hunting success, brought to you by Oklahoma Hunters and Anglers (OHA) and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
Leading experts will conduct about 35 breakout sessions covering topics such as bowhunting, field to fork, finding a place to hunt, scouting, tracking and much more. On hand will be industry experts and partners, nonprofit organizations and wellknown hunting TV hosts, and vendor tables will welcome visitors between breakout sessions.
OHA President and DeerCon founder Rick Nolan said the first event eight years ago drew about 25 people. “It has evolved into an all-day event where we have about 300 people show up..
“There’s a gamut of people from brand new to the experienced hunter,” he said.
The first 300 attendees through the door will receive a one-year subscription to HuntStand PRO, a $34.99 value. The special code must be redeemed before Dec. 31, and is valid for new HuntStand subscriptions only.
