Join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and XOP for a special screening of a brand-new hunting adventure film set on the edge of Minnesota’s most iconic wild places: the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
Cinch up the crampons and load up the sleds as we trek into the backcountry for a hunting adventure with the XOP Team that captures the challenge, solitude, and unforgettable experiences of the northwoods. It’s a story about hunting, honoring tradition, and experiencing adventure in new places.
Your $10 ticket includes admission to the film, a ticket for the door prize drawing, and a goodie bag from our partners. Come early, grab some food, your favorite movie theater snack, or a beer, and settle in and enjoy a night with fellow hunters, anglers, public lands advocates, and outdoor enthusiasts.
And the fun doesn't stop when the credits roll. We'll have a Q&A Session with the makers of the film, plus raffles featuring thousands of dollars in gear and prizes from some of our favorite BHA partners
Whether you’ve spent time paddling the Boundary Waters or have always wanted to experience it, this film will send the stoke level high as we kick off the 2026 hunting season. It is a chance to see this incredible landscape from a hunter’s perspective—and celebrate the wild places that make adventures like this possible.
This event is open to the public, so bring your friends, families, or coworkers and help us send summer out with a bang!
