The event brings people from far and near to visit a huge trade show packed with an assortment of outdoor gear and other items of interest to the entire family. Special guests included Keynote speaker Hank Parker a legend in the outdoor world and often referred to as the rod and reel answer to basketball's Michael Jordan in popularity and talent. Outdoor Icon Harold Knight of Knight and Hale Game Calls was on hand visiting with attendees and assisted in Judging the State Championship Duck calling Competition. Weather for show was flawless The weather for this past Saturday was flawless and people poured into the Expo in record numbers. Record attendance was the norm for the day as The Ky NWTF State Turkey Calling Championship attracted 75 competitors from seven states. The event has grown in popularity and is now referred to as a Mini National based on the size of the event and the quality callers who travel to Columbia to vie for coveted eligibility for participation at the national level. Current Grand National Senior Division Champion Jesse Martin was on hand Saturday successfully defending his Open and State Championship. Martin from Mt. Sterling Ky is the states first ever National Senior division winner.

Seminars featured a study of the fisheries on Green River Lake, Ky's Raptors, Bears, and Striper and Walleye fishing. Whitetail deer as always were a center of attention at the Expo and the Stephen Tucker Buck from Sumner County Tennessee was the main attraction. The Tucker Buck, expected to reign for years to come is now the biggest Whitetail buck ever taken by a hunter and measured for record book entry. Taken in November of 2016 the free range Whitetail was certified at 312 inches Boone and Crockett and has 47 scorable points. The Mega bucks display, always an Expo favorite featured six of Kentucky's largest bucks from the 2016 hunting season including the State's number One Typical a 181 7/8" buck taken by 17 year old Jacob Murphy of Russell County and the state's number two non typical from Casey County taken by Buddy Bishop.

Ten year old Bode Richard's 2016 buck scoring 148 1/8" was voted crowd favorite. Free deer scoring is another attraction at the Expo each year.
