I think the organization was beneficial to the wild turkey at one time, but I have never seen their presence or evidence of their presence anywhere that I personally hunt or have hunted, and populations seem to be falling everywhere. Where are they doing anything to help a single turkey?I will go as far as to say that the NWTF's promotion of the sport for monetary gain is doing our precious turkeys more harm than good.

They must sign your check. I can agree with your first paragraph. Although I was not aware they have helped us maintain our 2nd amendment in anyway. Where are the hunter numbers dramatically falling? I've heard this before but have never seen proof, but I have not looked for it. I don't think they falling one bit. Definitely not in the SE. I believe they are more turkey hunters in the woods now than ever before. I would like to see the numbers. We are all selfish to some existent when it comes to turkey hunting. Ignorant nah I don't believe so. That's all I have to say about this topic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quote from: fallhnt on February 17, 2020, 07:09:18 AMThe Rob Keck salary was a shock to me and even at state levels there are 6 figures.Any conservation organization is better than not being a part of one.Maybe you guys are new to the sport but....By 2000 the NWTF goal was to be done with stocking of turkey.Now they have the save the habitat save the hunt. Get it? Look around, all wildlife is losing habitat. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
