Turkey Federation needs to ditch the new magazine!

[Fugaloo]

I find the new "Turkey Country" almost unreadable. I get the whole outreach aspect, but anybody who is already a member and therefor receiving the magazine ALREADY HUNTS! It would be much better as a fraction on the magazine, not the majority. This last cover explains it all. A pointless article about lead free ammo, Women in the outdoors, and then three headlines about the one tribal hunting story. After thumbing through I thought I was looking at a magazine for female and disabled hunters.

They need to have more productive information printed in their mag. If you watch a hunting channel, it is 90% white tail deer. There is ony a little bit of turkey hunting on tv. "Turkey Country" is really dropping the ball here by not becoming THE go to source for Hunting strategy, Management strategy, gear reviews, and other relevent to hunting info. There are so many types of turkey setups and they decide to print a story about some girl that crawled through cow poop. I don't care about cow poop, I want to hear about what I should do to provide good habitat, what types of strategies are used for Spring, Fall, etc.

This magazine doesn't make me a better hunter, it just makes me think that the NWTF is putting too much money into outreach, and not enough into the core memberships.


Anybody Agree?

The new magazine is a big disappointment. It's been feminized to the point of being almost unreadable.

And when was the last time you saw a turkey hunt on the West Coast. Washington and Oregon are chock full of turkeys and it's always the Midwest.

Once I saw a hunt on the Central Coast of CA with Doug Roth, but it's almost like the West Coast does not exist for these channels.

Maybe it's good come to think of it. There are not any turkeys here and stay back East, thanks for your support.
