For only $270.00, banquet attendees can become Sponsor Members and receive the 2024 NWTF sponsor cap and pin plus a one-year subscription to Turkey Call magazine. Local and state NWTF chapters host thousands of similar events nationwide each year to raise funds that help conserve wildlife and habitat, and introduce new people to the outdoors. Many families enjoy hunting together and pass traditions on from one generation to another. Hunting also is important for the health of our nation’s wildlife and habitat because hunters fund conservation. For information about the White Co. Wild Turkey Banquet, call Kristi Woodrow at (618) 383-2004.
