The MORE Challenge
Turkey hunting competitions have traditionally come with several frustrations—limited size, high costs, unfair rules, scarce birds on assigned properties, minimal prize payouts, and the inconvenience of traveling far to hunt in unpredictable weather conditions while chasing birds that aren’t “right.” That all changes now! Introducing The MORE Turkey Challenge, the biggest and most exciting turkey hunting competition to date!
