Not many downs in my opinion, I know several turkey hunters that really bashes the NWTF cause they work so close with most Dept. Of Conservations in every state. The way I see it thats what they are about, perserving the wild turkey, and if it takes catching a few poachers that claim to be turkey hunters then good deal.

All in all I think the NWTF is one of the best wildlife Org. there is, and the banquets are great.
