Any NWTF collectors ?

A few are duplicates some of the these go back to 1995...most are from the 1990's.

None have ever been worn. I picked them up at NWTF shows and received the sponsor ones through the mail because of my (free) Silver Life Membership.

I've saw smaller piles listed on Ebay for crAzy money any one wants them make me a reasonable offer.
I guess I'll throw them in the trash
When I first started turkey hunting I was all excited about NWTF, and was a member for several years, in addition to going to their fundraisers. After a while, I figured out two things.....they were all about money and expected their members to give them lots of it, and none of that money was being spent to help out locally. I have not been a member in years,

However, that is a cool collection and somebody should be interested in them.
best bet is to ebay

Nice !!!!
None of my business, but I don’t see a for sale or anyone want these posted. We’re not mind readers, Byron
I have the Jim Beam decanters as well. I bought out a couple of collections of them and resold them. Some of mine still contain the contents.

Wow. Now that's an awesome collection! I'd like to see close ups of those.

There were 3 series of those decanters. The first series were quite honestly very ugly and looked nothing like a wild turkey, and did not interest me in the least. The second series are those in the display case, and the third are those on the wall. I like those on the wall the best, there are 12 different decanters in that series.

Diggin' that Jim Kasper ceiling border. Yep.
I guess you missed the part where I said...
"anyone wants them
make me a reasonable offer".
Don't toss 'em!
I don't know what you consider a "reasonable" offer.
I would love to be a NWTF member.
But I'd also like to belong to the NRA, SAF, JPFO and GOA and whatever other pro gun/hunting associations are out there.
But I'm a "po'boy" and can't afford all those dues.
I dropped my NRA and SAF memberships because every time I went to the mailbox, at least once a month, I would throw away probably $5 worth of color printed literature, begging for money!

I quit the NRA and NWTF because of the constant begging for money, yet the people who ran those organizations lived like kings.
I'm a member of the NRA because my gun club requires it as a condition of membership. But I'm a member of the Virginia Citizens Defense League and the 2nd Ammendment Foundation because they actually get things done.
I was a member of the NWTF for years because I was going to their local banquets and the price to get in included your yearly membership dues. I coached our county SCTP program in skeet and sporting clays and we had to have a 503C (I think that is what it was called) and the local NWTF chapter was our sponsor. I felt like I needed to support them as they were supporting us. That said, I quit coaching 2 years ago and have not been a NWTF in the last 2 years either.
I am a life member of the NRA, changed my membership to a life membership back during the Clinton time frame.

That's exactly right. NWTF is not for turkeys at all. It's for the NWTF.

Took me a lotta years and a lotta donations before I figured that out. Call me a slow learner............
Now we have a new group of Turkey hunter leeches looking to make a buck off the declining Wild Turkey populations across the country......"Turkeys for Tomorrow".
Years ago before he died my late friend Parker Whedon went to the NWTF convention in Nashville Tn....his observation was pretty accurate he said something to the effect that it would be hard to find a real Turkey Hunter in there.

In a big way, he was likely right. The bigger end of the folks on that show floor are salesmen. Not turkey hunters. But there were also some of the best turkey hunters mixed in......... Very few that I would actually like to share a hunt with.
Awwww...
