After winding down their 50th anniversary year, the boys talk through 50 years of conservation success in 2023. From wildfire prevention through sound forest habitat management, to predator management and beyond - the group tackles the NWTF’s and CSF’s shared message, mission and legacy - in NWTF’s own words - “to ensure robust wild turkey populations, while benefiting healthy forests, waterways, and communities, and championing the soul of the American hunting lifestyle.”
