"Glory Days"

The third and final print in a series of nostalgic still-life prints published by the National Wild Turkey Federation. In 2004, it was featured in their banquet package and was also reproduced as the NWTF's "Hunting Heritage Series" Stamp. As with "Echoes From the Past" and "An American Tradition", "Glory Days" also includes a print of a hand painted turkey feather on which the still life image also appears.

Runnin with the Big Boys

Pennsylvania Chapter National Wild Turkey Federation presents a limited edition print and box call set to commemorate it's 30th anniversary in 2005. PA Chapter NWTF has commissioned artist Melissa Ball, and game call company, River Valley Game Calls, to create its first ever limited edition print and box call set. The 30th anniversary print, "Runnin' with the Big Boys" depicts a parade of longbeards descending down the ridge with a single jake trying to join in. Coordinating cherry box call with bloodwoood inlay features two of the gobblers and commemorates the anniversary date of the chapter. Prints and box calls can be purchased as a matching numbered set or individually.

"Echoes From the Past"

First Melissa Ball print published by the National Wild Turkey Federation. In 2002, it was featured in their banquet package, and it's image was reproduced on a rug for 2003. It is the first in a series of nostalgic still life prints. This print is unique in that below the print image itself is a print of a hand painted turkey feather on which the image is duplicated.

"April Fools"

2001 NWTF Grand National Art Contest Winner. This picture is a family favorite. The image depicts Melissa's husband, who is a left handed hunter, as he fools two strutting gobblers with his decoys. The setting is behind the Artist's home where her family often hunt turkeys.
