The eastern wild turkey of North American is one of our nation's great conservation success stories and hunters played a direct role in this recovery. Today, the ocellated turkey – the iridescent cousin of the eastern wild turkey – deserves the same chance. As a model of conservation, the revenue from ocellated turkey hunting ensures sustainable populations and habitat conservation. Dollars spent through these singular hunts reinforce the true value of the species to the locals and creates a pragmatic reason to protect the gorgeous birds and the wild habitat - just as the fathers of the North America Model of Wildlife Conservation foresaw over 100 years ago. This week in Sporting Classics with Chris Dorsey, Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation Board Member Francisco Bergaz joins Chris Dorsey in the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula to hunt the gorgeous ocellated turkey. The series airs every week on Outdoor #negrinicases #outdoorchannel #sportingclassicstv #sportingclassicsmagazine #turkey #turkeyhunting #travelfirstclass Channel at: Friday 7am Saturday 12:30pm Sunday 9:30 am (all times ET) (at Negrini Cases) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpamevBTaj/?igshid=4lb1qxrnwmnj
