Illinois National Wild Turkey Federation Banquets 2016

Illinois National Wild Turkey Federation Banquets 2016

Gobble, Gobble,  Turkey season is always around the corner.  Fall or Spring there's nothing like a turkey strutting into range.  The NWTF has a great program called "Save the Habitat Save the Hunt".  Go to a banquet and support conservation efforts here in Illinois and other parts of the country.  

Make sure to check out the Illinois National Wild Turkey Federation website.
