WHAT THE FEDERATION DOES...

The National Wild Turkey Federation supports scientific wildlife management on public, private, and corporate lands.   It also supports traditional American sport hunting and every citizens's right to enjoy clean air and water and aesthetically pleasing outdoor environment. The NWTF publishes Turkey Call magazine bimonthly (6 issues a year) and The Caller newsletter (4 issues a year).  Both are mailed to every member.  The contents include state-by-state information on wild turkey management; features articles on turkey calling and hunting; interviews; news from national headquarters, state chapters and the NWTF fund-raising banquet program; letters to the editor, and editorial statements on timely subjects.
