Mossy Oak® and Ol’ Tom Congratulate Team Woodhaven on Successful Grand National Turkey Calling Championships

NASHVILLE, TN – Mossy Oak and Ol’ Tom, supporters of Team Woodhaven, would like to congratulate Mitchell Johnston, Bobby Woods, Lewis Armistead and Benjamin Pentecost for their wins at the 2010 NWTF Grand National Turkey Calling Championships in Nashville, Tenn., February 18-21.

Johnston of Purlear, N.C., won the Seniors division. Woods (Dante, Va.) took home the Friction title. Armistead of Pleasant Shade, Tenn., won the Junior division and Pentecost (Heflin, Ala.) took home the Poult Division title.

"It's very surreal. It's obviously a dream come true," said Johnston, who finished fifth in 2009. "The first phone call I made was to my wife because she didn't travel here with me this year. As soon as I heard her voice, we both kind of lost it. It was a special moment. I mean this is the best feeling you can have as a turkey caller. It's hitting a grand slam or winning the Super Bowl."

"It feels great to win it again; I'm the only caller to do it twice," said Woods, who also won the Friction Division in 2007. "At first I was nervous, but when I began my first call, the butterflies went away.”

Each year, thousands of outdoor enthusiasts and NWTF supporters rally at the NWTF National Convention and Sport Show. The event features the Grand National Calling Championships, seminars from hunting pros, more than 550 vendor booths, top entertainers at evening functions and more.

The NWTF is a nonprofit conservation organization that works daily to further its mission of conserving the wild turkey and preserving our hunting heritage.

Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey populations across the country, spending more than $306 million to conserve 14 million acres of habitat for all types of wildlife.
