Step into the history and heartbeat of modern turkey hunting with Rob Keck in this episode of the Turkey Hunting Special. From his start with the NWTF in 1978 to helping shape decades of wild turkey conservation, Rob walks through the milestones that built the foundation we benefit from today.
In this episode of the HuntStand Podcast, Rob Keck talks about Canadian gobblers, history of the NWTF, wild turkey research center, and more. We dive into the launch of the Wild Turkey Research Center, the rise of nationwide chapters, the impact of the Super Fund on habitat restoration, and the groundbreaking Target 2000 restocking efforts that helped restore turkey populations across the country. Rob also shares stories from the early days of the NWTF and how those conservation wins directly impact the gobblers we chase every spring.
If you’re passionate about turkey hunting, conservation, and the legacy behind it all — this one’s packed with perspective you won’t want to miss.
