The National Wild Turkey Federation has been at the heart of wildlife conservation since 1973, founded with the mission of restoring wild turkey populations across North America. At that time, there were fewer than 1.5 million wild turkeys in the United States. Thanks to the hard work of this organization and its 250,000 dedicated members, wild turkey populations now exceed 6 million. It’s one of the greatest conservation success stories in history.

On this week’s show we’ll sit down with the Pete Muller from the NWTF and talk about everything from conservations stories, incredible spring turkey hunts, the NWTF Convention and the history of the national turkey calling competition and dive into the importance of their partnership with Winchester since the inception of the NWTF in 1973.
