Join the club. Get youngsters involved. Talk to your school about having a wildlife and fishery conservation class. I did one for a grade one class, and another for a grade 5 class. Not only is it educational for them, it's pretty fun to put on. Talk about all the good things that go on, like hatcheries and wildlife rehab/rescue centres. Get involved in trade shows, have local trappers bring furs. Bring taxidermy.
As far back as I can remember, our local F&W club held a turkey shoot for all ages. Man it was fun. I haven't herd of a turkey shoot for yrs. I don't think horn contests are a very good idea. Lots of guys are just going after the horns now to win prizes. And I don't agree with posting/bragging hunts on social media either. Let's be humble.
