DALLAS, Texas -(Ammoland.com)- Only two months remain until the start of the DSC 2017 Convention and Expo, which returns to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and Omni Hotel in Dallas Jan. 5-8, 2017.
Sportsmen and women are invited to be a part of another record-breaking event to help support conservation, education and hunter advocacy initiatives around the world. The theme this year is Adventure.
The four-day celebration is open to the public and is one of America’s premier fundraisers for conservation.
