I agree proturkeycaller, You should join if you go to a banquet. I thoutht thats how it was everywhere also. I know some have issues with the NWTF, I do to, but its the best thing we got going for us turkeyhunters. If there are certain things a person doesnt like about the NWTF they need to join a chapter and then try to make a difference. No organization is going to make ALL of the members happy all the time.

I am a comitte member myself and so far our banquets, jake days, and WITO events have been great. This year some buisnesses that gave last year are not this year. Must be the economy right now.
Take care.
