Wheelin' Sportsmen

For some hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts with disabilities, attempting to participate in an active outdoor lifestyle can be overwhelming.

The National Wild Turkey Federation, through its Wheelin' Sportsmen NWTF outreach program, has donated $26,750 in grants to six projects in the U.S. to help people with disabilities get involved in the outdoors.

Selfless volunteers with Wheelin' Sportsmen NWTF continue to dedicate their time and efforts hosting events and completing projects throughout North America.

We want folks with disabilities to know that Wheelin' Sportsmen NWTF is here to serve them and to help them enjoy the great outdoors, said Charley Burke, NWTF regional director for Wisconsin. The fishing pier on Lake Tomah will give many people access to a fishing opportunity they wouldn't have without Wheelin' Sportsmen NWTF.

    Of all of the conservation orgs NWTF does an outstanding job or outreach. NWTF's Women in the Outdoors program is another example.

    We've hosted a couple of first-time women turkey hunters here at the Platz. Only a few years ago one of the huntresses delivered her first son only a couple of weeks following bagging her first gobbler.
