“Thanks to Johnny Morris, Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s for continuing their unending support of conservation work across the country,” NWTF CEO Becky Humphries said. “Bass Pro Shops’ culture of promoting habitat and wildlife conservation is something that all outdoor companies can aspire to emulate.”

  • Name the Tracker Off Road vehicle as the official ATV of the NWTF
     
  • Build the Palmetto Shooting Complex in Edgefield, South Carolina, that has provided shooting sports opportunities to thousands of youths and new shooters
     
  • Create Roundup Months at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s, a program that has generation hundreds of thousands of dollars for wildlife conservation work
     
  • Offer a $25 Bass Pro Shops promotional gift card for new and renewed NWTF members
