Over 10% of the world's bird species are endangered or vulnerable. About 50% of U.S. bird species are declining. Research on birds is important if we want to see them thrive and some suggest that sharing data and standardizing data could be a great place to start.

Necessity often breeds innovation on the competition stage. 🏆🦃

When the Champion of Champions calling competition in Nashville required a wing bone or trumpet-style call, the challenge was clear. It wasn't just about learning how to run the call—it was about stepping up to craft a custom one and taking home the win.

That drive to create a winning sound from scratch is what pushes wild turkey call-making to the next level. 🔊🌲

Research using genetic data is giving us a clearer look at where wild turkeys are. During the 13th National Wild Turkey Symposium, we saw how range maps can now be broken down using hybridization.

The ultimate reward of making turkey calls is seeing them put to work in the woods. 🦃🔊

While crafting a call that captures the authentic tone of a wild turkey is essential, the real satisfaction comes when a hunter takes that call out and fills a tag with it. Receiving photos from successful hunters every year is the highlight of the process.

These calls are made for the field, built specifically to help hunters find success season after season.

Money well spent for the future of wildlife! 🦃🌲

The Pennsylvania NWTF State Chapter donated $10,000 to Pennsylvania’s Wildlife Leadership Academy to help train high school students as Conservation Ambassadors.

With over 1,200 graduates already—many of whom have gone on to professional careers in natural resources—this program is building tomorrow's leaders today. Fantastic work by the PA Chapter! 👏

Ever seen wild turkeys act in ways that leave you scratching your head? ��In this edition of Ask Dr. Tom, hunter Douglas Battoe shares a unique observation: a flock of hens and jakes appearing to form a "circle of security" around a dominant tom and hen during breeding.

Is it sentry duty, or just natural flock dynamics? Dr. Tom breaks down the complex social behavior of wild turkeys—from how subdominant gobblers give dominant toms their space, to why curious flocks will sometimes surround a house cat or rattlesnake! The more time you spend watching wild turkeys in the field, the more you realize these complex birds are full of surprises.

Mark Prudhomme’s turkey calls aren't built to be fancy—they're built to work. 🦃🔊

At the end of the day, a glossy finish won't fool a wary gobbler. The sound is the only direct connection we have with the wild turkey, and perfecting that tone is what gets it done in the woods.

Do you prefer a classic, working-man's call or something custom and ornate? Let us know in the comments! 👇
