Boss Gobbler Out At NWTF
March 26, 2008
Breaking News out of South Carolina where Rob Keck CEO of the National Wild Turkey Federation has resigned suddenly after the board fired two other high ranking officials with the organization. Yesterday the board forced out Carl Brown Chief Operating Officer and Dick Rosenlieb Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for undisclosed reasons but not the first time the board has attempted this. This past fall the board attempted the same thing and at the time Rob Keck threatened to resign if they forced these two out and it failed. It world appear that Rob Keck followed through with his threat resigning after nearly 30 years with the organization and 27 of those years at the helm. Mr. Keck will remain till 01 June to help with the transition.
One has to wonder about the future of one of the most successful sportsman organizations in the world and what will happen with such a significant void in the management structure. I’m sure that more information will come out as this story develops but as a proud member of the NWTF I wonder what the heck is going on.

I have to say I am not at all surprised by the firing of Carl Brown & Dick Rosenleib and the ouster of Rob Keck. Having worked for the NWTF and seeing the inside workings of the organization it was just a matter of time before these three men got caught with their hand in the cookie jar! I could go on and on about all of the free stuff from $3000.00 shot guns to $10,000.00 hunts that these three men took as gifts! Rosenleib lives in a $400,000.00 home in a country club outside of Agusta Georgia! are you kidding me? these guys were skimming money for years and now it looks like they got caught! I just hope the BOD does an in-depth investigaton and the real truth about Rob Keck comes out!
