It's a sport hunting show very similar in character to the ISE (International Sportmen's Exposition). Not a lot of the fishing focus, primarily hunting and hunting outdoor equipment vendors.

In addition to the Vendor Exposition there are hunting and other hunting issue Seminars.
A place you can purchase chances on some 200 of the better hunting units in Utah for $5.00 per chance. Very popular with many of those that attend because it a cheap chance at a great tag if your luck enough to draw.
There are sheep hunts chances sold as well, not part of the 200 but the cost of the chance is more for the sheep tags.
There are different kinds of auctions for members of SFW and MDF. The merchandice offered at these auctions is donated by Expo sponsors who want to help raise money to help wildlife and wildlife issues including the cost to promote sport hunting with government and social agencies.
One popular auction is for ladies only. Others are for everyone. Prices at these auction can be high because the are designed to raise money and they do. As do all auctions at any event designed to generate money.
If you like country music/entertainment there are large venue concerts where you can go spend an evening with other redneck folk. Fun if like that sort of stuff.
Attending the Expo can be as cheap or as expensive as you wish to make it. I've never spent much because I don't have much to spend. Others spend a hundred thousand or more. To each his own. If the cost to attend is all that keeps you from attending you should know you have a great time at the Expo for a $10 (with the discount) admission fee.

The reference to Stroller Wrecks should be some indication that there are a lot young families that attend every year. Not an all together negative thing when you consider trying to keep folks involved in the hunting lifestyle.
