Haven't seen it advertised yet, usually first or second week in February but don't know if it is same time this year.I got a letter wanting me to join a few weeks ago!
I like to stock up on Backwoods Grind coffee so I don't have to pay shipping. LOLI plan on going,some great deals if you look for them!!
Think we have been 4 times in all, spent the night at the opryland hotel one of those times. Last time we went it was insane, said never again.That is the most crowded event I have ever intended
They had a big hand in advertising and raking in money so their ceo, and board could live a great lifestyle while the states were boots on the ground rebounding the turkeys! Nwtf is good at taking credit and money while doing nothing, they kick in a little money here and there to the states, put on a few hunts and tv shows , than rake in millions through banquets and memberships.Was good before turkey hunting was cool. NWTF might have had a big hand in helping turkeys recover, but they are also playing a big part in people not being able to find somewhere to hunt.
Unicoi is way better
TFT is research based with the bulk of their proceeds going towards funding research projects. TFT didn't get hung up on theories such as the dominant gobbler theory. They've only presented the peer-reviewed FACTS and help to fund great research projects. The podcast they fund, Wild Turkey Science, is an excellent and informative podcast. The hosts analyze all the info/research findings and tell us what the literature does and doesn't show.What's opinions on Turkeys for tomorrow?
You always speak absolute truth!Quit paying my dues when they gave The Hunting Public "Communicator of the Year" award in 2022. THP and those like them have caused more loss of public land turkey hunting opportunity than any anti-hunting organization ever will.

TFT isn't focused on recruiting more turkey hunters and commercializing turkey hunting for profit. Major wins. TFT helped make NWTF rethink their organization and now NWTF is starting to throw a lot more money into research as well. TFT's competition did help get NWTF back on a better trajectory. The more research dollars the better, as maybe eventually we can get some of our lost hunting opportunities back as more and more studies show the dominant gobbler theory is just that, a theory.
I don't care for TFT partnering with hunting influencers and YouTubers for some of their raffles, but I get it. You gotta do what you gotta do to raise money. I have a lot more faith in my dollar going to the right place when its given to TFT than I do NWTF.
I have been emails for a few weeks from NWTF about the convention and trying to get me to get registered. If you are a NWTF member, check your email.Haven't seen it advertised yet, usually first or second week in February but don't know if it is same time this year.I got a letter wanting me to join a few weeks ago!
Serious question.Quit paying my dues when they gave The Hunting Public "Communicator of the Year" award in 2022. THP and those like them have caused more loss of public land turkey hunting opportunity than any anti-hunting organization ever will.
You lose opportunity when you cannot find a place to park on public land. They have pimped out our wildlife and limited public land to the point of no return. The only solution is more access to more land. I hope with this large License price increase it equals more funds for aquireing more public land. But I'm not holding my breath.Serious question.
How has THP caused loss of hunting opportunities? I'm just not edumacated on this topic.
Never heard of her, but like the other 99% of organizations across the fishing and hunting world I have no doubt it's just another scam to grab money from people who want a new sticker for their truckWhat's opinions on Turkeys for tomorrow?
Speaking of that I seen your new truck decal.Never heard of her, but like the other 99% of organizations across the fishing and hunting world I have no doubt it's just another scam to grab money from people who want a new sticker for their truck
Serious question.

That and they also caused some West TN WMAs to go to quota for turkeys after they made that video telling the world how great TN turkey hunting was.You lose opportunity when you cannot find a place to park on public land.
