Hello everyone,
My name is Scott Chandler and I was recently hired to retired RD Charley Burke’s position as the Regional Director for Western WI. Many of you I’ve met and worked with in the past, some I have spoken with already in the last ten days, and the rest of you I look forward to meeting and working with very soon. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, Scott started his journey with the National Wild Turkey Federation as the local chapter president of the NWTF Glacier Woods Gobblers in 2006. Scott served in that volunteer leadership role until 2015 when he was originally hired as an NWTF Regional Director. When not working, Scott enjoys spending time with his family, including his wife Jennifer, daughters Ashlyn (19), Aubrey (14), and son Braeden (10). Scott is a sports enthusiast and loves coaching/watching his three children in softball, baseball, football, basketball, bowling and volleyball. In addition to their busy sports schedule, Aubrey, Braeden and Dad usually find time to harvest a few gobblers each spring and a few whitetails each fall.

EDGEFIELD, S.C.—Mossy Oak recently renewed its support of the National Wild Turkey Federation, signing a five-year agreement to continue as official camouflage of the NWTF, official convention sponsor and facilitate mission related activities to conserve the wild turkey and preserve our hunting heritage.
“We are pleased to continue our strong partnership with Mossy Oak,” NWTF Becky Humphries said. “Mossy Oak is equally dedicated to the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage, and together we can move mountains.” New to the agreement is Mossy Oak’s recent pledge of $375,000 over five years to support NWTF’s wild turkey research projects and initiatives throughout the country. Good PR for the WDNR and wild turkey restoration efforts in the state. Thanks NBC 26 and Daron Bohn for your work:
