National Hunting and Fishing Day
FREE and Open to the Public
On the fourth Saturday of every September, NHF Day recognizes generations of sportsmen and women for their contributions to the conservation of our nation’s rich sporting heritage and natural resources. One of the main goals of National Hunting and Fishing Day is to recruit new hunters and anglers by encouraging participation and increasing public awareness of the connection between hunting, angling, and conservation. Through self-imposed fees and excise taxes, sportsmen and women have raised more than $57 billion–that’s more than $100,000 every 30 minutes being raised for conservation. NHF Day is the largest, most effective grassroots movement ever undertaken to promote outdoor sports and conservation.
It started right here at DELAWARE COUNTY FIELD AND STREAM as an annual Club event originally known as Sportsman Day and was the beginning of what would become National Hunting & Fishing Day all over the U.S.A. Former Club President, 1974-1975, Ira Joffe, who conceived the idea and promoted it, was invited to the official signing of the state proclamation that made the first statewide Pennsylvania Sportsmen’s Day. It was the beginning of what would become National Hunting and Fishing Day all over the USA.
We have many invited guests including the PA Game Commission, PA Fish and Boat Commission, and many others.
