NWTF Convention
The National Wild Turkey Federation Convention isn't somewhere I ever really imagined I'd be before today. I'll spare you images of mounted deer heads and turkey taxidermy; I tried not to think too much about it myself as I was walking through aisles and aisles of them. Shooting animals for sport isn't really my cup of tea, but I do like to try to be open to a wide variety of experiences for Gerrick, who did have a lot of fun. We got to hang out with some new friends, and Gerrick shot a bb gun for the first time and snagged an unbelievable amount of Smokey Bear swag.

My husband is a hunter but is not into trophies. He likes to use as much of the animal as possible, not just the meat... Looks like a cool show. ~Cori
ReplyDeleteI always feel "off" at places like that. The nature is good... the dead/shooting nature not so much.
ReplyDeleteIt's like when we went to the airforce museum... all those bombs got to me. :/

Wow! What a day! This certainly looks like something my boys would like. They love the "idea" of hunting, but haven't actually shot and killed anything. I wonder how they'll feel about it if and when that happens? Still, the convention looks like it was very educational and beneficial. Loved the little animal track booklets- how fun! Thanks for linking up to Field Trip Friday! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of swag! Holy moly! Looks fun.
