Merriam's Wild Turkey Release '09

I am involved with the National Wild Turkey Federation here in N.E. Montana. In March of 2009 the NWTF partnered with the Montana FWP to release about 50 wild turkeys along the Milk River. This was such a neat experience for me. My son Jack & I, along with other members of our local NWTF chapter (Hi - Line Gobblers) met MFWP out at the site to help with the release. Everyone got involved. The kids were opening up boxes to have these Turkeys come busting out and take flight before us. I will always remember & cherish this day for what it stands for. A local group of men, women & kids that are trying to give a little back, so that these resources may still be here for future generations to come. I have posted a slide show to the left that captures some of the excitement that was had that day.
