National Wild Turkey Federation’s Convention Taxidermy Competitions
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -(AmmoLand.com)- Contestants can compete in two species categories: white-tailed deer and wild turkey; and three skill divisions: professional, masters and commercial. The NWTF’s taxidermy contest is one of the premier taxidermy exhibits in North America, and this year’s competition will not disappoint.
Shawn Whitehead of Lexington, Ky., two-time winner in the NWTF’s Wild Turkey Master’s Category, returns to the NWTF’s taxidermy competition year after year for the chance to compete against new talent in a unique competition.
“Highly skilled competitors show up every year, which heats up the competition and keeps me working to be the best,” Whitehead said. “But what really sets the NWTF’s competition apart is that, unlike other taxidermy contests, it’s part of a large convention that offers booths to browse for the latest and greatest hunting and fishing gear, plus seminars and entertainment. I also like that the NWTF’s competition allows me to compete against other taxidermists in a turkey-specific category instead of going up against artists who work with with all types of birds.”
