EDGEFIELD, S.C. — The National Wild Turkey Federation is proud to announce the continued partnership with Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s through 2026, reaffirming a longstanding commitment to wildlife conservation, hunter education and the future of America’s outdoor traditions.
“We’re thrilled to have Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s continue their partnership with the NWTF,” said Natalia Daniels, NWTF national director of corporate relations and licensing. “Their ongoing support not only enhances the experience at our national convention but also strengthens conservation and education programs that introduce new audiences to the outdoors and ensure our sporting heritage remains strong for generations to come.”
As part of this renewed partnership, Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s will continue to support the NWTF’s National Request for Proposals program and conservation initiatives through the Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Outdoor Fund, helping push the needle forward in wild turkey conservation and ensuring our hunting heritage continues.
