I'm aware that the NWTF has done, and still does alot of good for turkeys and other game, however, I'm not a member, due in part mostly to the politics involved, some beliefs they have......I have been wanting to enter a calling contest around here, but every place that puts on such an event, you have to be a member.....I also think they were a key player in eliminating the turkey season during rifle deer season here in Va....not, that I'd want to shoot a turkey with a rifle, but my dad always turkey hunted(with a shotgun) during that time, he don't deer hunt, so I felt like that time in the woods with him has sorta been taken away from me.....that's why I'm not a member....
