Look up NWTF Convention on line and look at the show floor layout and see were most of the turkey stuff is located ... I wrote down the  ones i wanted to see the most .... lol... you will surprised what all is mixed in with the turkey stuff , that has nothing to do in my opinion with turkeys ....

That was my plan, but there is so many vendors it is hard to not miss a few of the good ones - I know I want to watch for a vendor that had stick tite remover gloves - saw them 2 yrs ago and wish I had a pair, so that is on my to do list.

Buy a membership (they usualy comp a $35 membership with a $25 basspro gift card) and then your good to go. 

Oh yeah I'd be happy for any and all OG folks to stop by booth 1616 and introduce yourself.

Will surely pop in the calling contests!  That was pretty cool!  Will stop by booth 1616 for sure!!  We stopped at the Primos booth last time. Mr. Jimmy Primos was awesome with my younges son. He bought.a call from Mr Jimmy and shot his first turkey 6 weeks later. We sent a picture to Mr. Jimmy and he asked my son to call him and tell him all about the hunt(my som was too shy, so we didn't call). I thought that was pretty cool he would take that time for a kid he met 6 weeks earlier for only a few minutes. I always liked the Primos shows-Will and Jimmy seem like good people, the kind I'd like to hang out with.

I say, stop by all the callmakers booths. Even if it's just to say hi.  Most callmakers love to talk to people.  It makes a lot of callmakers trips, to meet new people, and put faces with names that they have sent a call to, or talked to online.

But you'll need to get a wristband with proof of current membership before you can enter the exhibit hall.

NWTF Nationals is something a turkey hunter should do at least once.

Go to Caney fork and Jack Daniel's to eat!  The show is one thing and will consume you, but the eats up there are nice!
