As an NWTF chapter in Northern Illinois, we are looking to start doing some Jakes Turkey youth hunting events. While we are finding ways to be able to do this, why not support one of our fellow northern Illinois chapters who are hosting their own Jakes youth event. If you have a youth who is looking to gain experience, please check this out. They are just 10-15 minutes outside of Rockford, IL.
