We’re Headed to Sacramento: Join Us at the 2026 International Sportsmen’s Expo!

We’re kicking off the new year with a road trip—and we hope to see you there.
Tangle Ridge Outfitters will be at the International Sportsmen’s Expo (ISE) in Sacramento, California this January 15th-18th, and we couldn’t be more excited. This show is one of the biggest gatherings of hunters, anglers, outfitters, gear manufacturers, and outdoor enthusiasts on the West Coast. It’s a great way for us to meet new folks, reconnect with past hunters, and share a little piece of Wyoming with people who love the outdoors as much as we do.
​
About the ISE Show
The Sacramento ISE is a four-day show that fills the Cal Expo grounds with everything from boats and optics to conservation groups, outfitters, and interactive demonstrations. For hunters in particular, it’s a rare chance to compare different hunts, talk face-to-face with guides, and get a real feel for who they’d be spending a week in the mountains with.
We’ll have our booth set up with photos, videos, gear, and, of course, plenty of stories from the mountains. Whether you’re interested in an elk hunt in the Bighorns, a black bear hunt, a mountain lion hunt with hounds, or simply want to ask questions about Wyoming hunting in general—we’ll be there and happy to chat.

Why We Attend Sports Shows
People are often surprised at how much work outfitters put into attending sports shows, but there’s a reason we keep at it. These shows still matter, and here’s why:

The Pros of Sports Shows

• Face-to-Face Conversations
There is no substitute for sitting across from someone and talking about what kind of hunt they’re dreaming of. You get a sense of each other—your expectations, your style, your priorities. It helps hunters feel confident in their choice, and it helps us connect with clients who are the right fit for our operation.

• Honest, Real-Time Q&A
Online info is helpful, but when you’re standing in our booth, you can ask anything: gear, shot distances, physical expectations, preference points, bears vs elk, what the food is like in camp, you name it. You get the real answer right then and there.

• A Chance to Show Who We Are
We’re a family-owned and -operated Wyoming outfitting business. At a show, people get to meet the actual folks they’ll be hunting with—not a booking agent, not a faceless website. That matters.

• Bringing Wyoming to California
A surprising number of West Coast hunters dream about a western elk hunt but don’t know where to begin. These shows give them a place to start.

Why You Should Come Visit Our Booth
If you’re in California—or if you need an excuse for a little getaway in January—we’d love for you to stop by. We’ll have:

• Details on our elk, antelope, deer, black bear, and mountain lion hunts
• Videos and photos from recent seasons
• A look at our camp setup and equipment
• Information on preference points, draw strategy, and planning your hunt
• Time to sit and talk about what kind of hunt suits you best

Whether you’re ready to book, or just doing some dreaming and research, come say hello. We’re always happy to talk hunting.

See You in Sacramento!
We’ll share our booth number as soon as we receive it. If you already know you’ll be attending, let us know—we’d love to connect.
Here’s to a great start to the new year, new hunts on the horizon, and hopefully meeting some of you face-to-face at the Cal Expo.
