This is No. 1 of only 49 bronze sculptures dedicated to conserving the wild turkey and preserving our hunting heritage! Creator Gary Oldenbaugh, an avid outdoorsman and turkey hunter first, and artist second, has been obsessed with turkeys and turkey hunting and knows the important role that sound conservation and ongoing turkey research plays for the viability of a resource we all love and hold so close to our hearts. Here’s what this limited artwork means to him, and what you’ll be getting, in his words:
“In recent years, having hunted turkeys all over the country, I have witnessed firsthand the decline in turkey numbers. By donating this beautiful bronze sculpture and your bid for purchase, we are partnering in an investment of something much greater than any tangible piece of art we can hold in our hands; we are investing in the future experiences and memories made that only wild turkeys can provide. Thank you so much for your contribution to the NWTF.”

This sculpture depicts the mother turkey who, after incubating for 28 days, has successfully reared a clutch of eight turkey poults to the age of around three weeks old. It vividly depicts the protection a hen turkey provides her poults as they seek cover under her wings for the night. This sculpture will be offered in an edition of 49, representing one for every state with an established turkey population.
