Where do you find the information concerning the money the has spent in your state? I thought it was on the 's website but I can't find it there. I haven't seen the numbers in a long time and would like to see what the is doing or as done in Alabama and Georgia lately. I was thinking I might go to a banquet this year.
Good question. I would like to see what is used here is MS as well.
Would it be on their website, possibly?
Apparently my typing skills are worse than I thought.
The doesn't need to do anything in Bama cause y'all got plenty of gobblers there. The needs to stock some birds here in these Virginny Mt's. so we can have a limit of 5 per season. :icon_thumright:
You know as well as I know that you want to join the and go to the convention and enter the Fiddlers Inn Open Calling Contest. You have to be a member to enter. :icon_thumright:

You making fun of me or is your typing skills as bad as mine.
The reason I was thinking of giving the some money was so they coud trap some birds from Virginia and start a restoration project in Al and GA where there are no birds left.
Maybe the NWTF needs to pay their light bill?
If you want turkeys stock your own. Cause the will tell you Not With Their Funds.
If you were a member you could probably read about how much money they spent and where in their magazine :TooFunny:
The 's website has detailed information on each state and how much money has been spent,...and even how it has been spent. Of course, those with eyes wide shut will most likely not be able to find it, and even if they did, the turkey guru's that reside hereabouts have summarily dismissed it as falsehood and propaganda that has been totally made up in an effort to make the 's members/dolts part with their hard-earned cash. There are no turkeys anywhere in the U.S.,...and even if there are, the could not possibly have had anything to do with it.

But first, you would have to wade through the cooking recipes, and articles on crafts you can make, etc....

Amen! LOL ;D. But thank God the few turkeys we do have in Bama (ROLL TIDE) breed and reproduce each year. ;)
I am sure the information is attainable on the _ _ _ _ website. I guess we dare not mention the _ _ _ _, in fear of this thread being deleted? ;D

Threads don't get deleted, they get moved when we feel they've gotten out of hand or are headed that way. If you don't like it, nobody is forcing you to stay.

Nope, no problem. I'm rather fond of this site.

i looked on the website but could'nt find where the spends there cash

I was wanting to look at it on the NWTF site but got tired of looking. I was really wanting to see what they have done and if I should reconsider my stance. I guess nothing has changed much, I can't find the information and so far haven't had any help finding it, let alone land they have secured or helped manage to benefit the turkey. the
And for the record I was sincere about looking into what their doing. I didn't start this thread to bash the NWTF.
No turkeys left here in NY....We need turkeys transplanted here...

i clicked on the finance report but the page stopped working about the time i got to the to the report( coincidence ) im not sure
Okay,....all (good natured) kidding aside, here's how to get to the info you seek. ....Go to the _ _ _ _ website. Assuming the home page screen is the same for all of us, look in the grayish box on the right side where it says "view another state" Click on that and up will come a map. Click on the state you wish to look at and the info on that state will come up. If the info is not on the screen at that point, then click on the information regarding the Superfund in that state. It will show you totals and breakdowns of how the funds have been spent.
Important points:
1) Those funds are controlled by the individual state chapters themselves. The members/volunteers determine how the money is spent, within some reasonable guidelines. If you are a state member, you have a voice in how the funds are spent, assuming your voice is part of the majority and not out in "left field" somewhere.
2) There seems to be a concern that the _ _ _ _ does not purchase enough land to preserve for hunting. It is up to the state members to decide how their funds will be spent. It becomes a prioritization as to what gives "the most bang for the buck". Often, buying significant tracts of land is expensive,....and therefore, chapters have, for the most part, determined is it best to improve existing public properties for wildlife rather than buy property. Even so, there have been instances where key pieces of land have been purchased,...and not for the exclusive use of the "privileged few".
Here in NM, and any other state with lots of public land, it would be a waste of our dollars to purchase what would be small tracts of private land at todays prices,...rather than try to improve conditions for turkeys on our existing public lands. Although there are some states that have purchased key pieces of private lands that are somehow thought to be worthy enough to be purchased, this is typically not the best way to spend the funds for the amount of return that will come from it.
3) Another statement that regularly rears its ugly head here is "_ _ _ _ has not transplanted any turkeys, our DNR has".
...That is because it is illegal for wildlife to be transplanted without it being under the auspices of any state's DNR!
However, the _ _ _ _ has funded and provided volunteer manpower to assist in many, many, many turkey transplants throughout the nation.
This thread was funny!
Guess Who, I like your style man.......
You know, in the thread that was previously getting outta hand about the I think that I may have been wrong in jumping in there against the .
I remember walking on our WMA here and seeing signs where the had sponsored brooding habitat. By the way, I was squirrel hunting there, and a flock of 17 turkeys crossed the road in front of me. Looks like it worked. I hereby repent and retract any negative statement I made towards the.......and I plan on renewing my membership.
It is in the latest magazine. I saw the map breakdown in there some where. I will see if I can find it
Good Luck and God Bless

Thanks Gobblenut, thats what I was looking for. The money spent in Al/Ga isn't impressive to me but it is more than I expected, throw in the volunteer's time and it makes it a little easier for me to not dislike the as much. Since 1985 the has spent an average of $67,000 in Alabama, and $132,000 Georgia. No wonder we don't have any turkeys. I would like to know how much money the has brought in from both states since 1985, that might be an eye opener one way or the other, but I've about maxed out my attention span and am moving on.

Ok, one other question for Gobblenut. How much of New Mexico's superfund money did they have to spend to get that talking wax sculpture of you at the 's headquarters?

Another good question. We negotiated long and hard. They wanted a considerable fee at first, but when I pointed out that having my likeness there would surely result in a huge increase in visitors, they relented and agreed to call it even.
It's kinda like havin' Elvis in da' howse!....
