The NWTF is a half million member grassroots, nonprofit
organization with members in 50 states, Canada and 11 other
foreign countries. It supports scientific wildlife management on
public, private and corporate lands as well as wild turkey hunting
as a traditional North American sport.
In 1973, the National Wild Turkey Federation was founded in
Fredericksburg, VA, At that time, there were an estimated 1.3
million wild turkeys and 1.5 million turkey hunters. Shortly after its
founding, the NWTF moved to Edgefield, S.C., where it is
headquartered today.
Thanks to the work of federal, state and provincial wildlife agencies
and the NWTF's many volunteers and partners, there are now over
7 million wild turkeys and approximately 2.6 million turkey hunters.
Turkey hunting has become the fastest growing form of hunting
and has the second-highest number of participants of any type of
hunting.
Since 1985, more than $230 million NWTF and cooperator dollars
have been spent on over 29,000 projects benefiting wild turkeys
and other game and non-game species throughout North America.
Hunters have also benefited as the NWTF has worked tirelessly to
support our hunting heritage and protect and promote laws that
increase hunting opportunity and safety.
