Renowned outdoor writer and Wisconsin-native Brian Lovett received the NWTF's Tom Kelly Communicator of the Year Award at the recent 2025 Convention and Sport Show in Nashville, Tennessee for his ability to share the message of the NWTF’s efforts nationwide. 

While chasing turkeys in South Florida, the NWTF's Pete Muller sat down with Lovett to talk about a Lovett's career as an outdoor communicator, the changes that have come to the world of turkey hunting, what aspiring outdoor enthusiasts could do to follow in his steps, the continuing role of communicators to save the sport of hunting and so much more!
