Winchester Ammunition, Working for the Wild Turkey
 'Do many things, and do them well,' applies in the case of Winchester Ammunition and the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF). The two groups work jointly on numerous projects and programs that add to the bottom line—conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of the hunting tradition.
"Supporting our partners in conservation goes beyond writing checks," said Dick Hammett, President for Winchester Ammunition. "The Winchester and NWTF relationship grows because we find different ways to work together … then, it's a matter of follow through."
Certain projects and program support that highlight the Winchester/NWTF collaboration include:
• 2007 Spring Turkey Promotion—Winchester Ammunition is donating its proceeds to the NWTF's JAKES program as announced in its spring turkey hunting promotion.
• 2007 Winchester Ammunition Conservation Sweepstakes—NWTF members have a chance to win a two-day hunt at Winchester's prestigious NILO Farms® hunting preserve. Visit www.winchester.com for more information.
• Funding for the Wild Turkey Center's Winchester Museum—a 7,200 square foot museum, which receives more than 10,000 visitors annually and the only museum in the world dedicated to the restoration, management and hunting of the wild turkey.
• Winchester Ammunition became the NWTF's first $1 million corporate sponsor.
• NWTF outreach programs—JAKES, Women in the Outdoors—use Winchester Ammunition at local chapter events.
• The NWTF's national convention includes the Winchester Veteran's Breakfast—honoring all past and present armed forces.
