Download or read book The Edification of a Turkey Hunter written by Butch Barnes and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Edification of a Turkey Hunter By: Butch Barnes Butch didn’t start turkey hunting until he met Tommy Nelson, his father- in-law to be, in 1968. Mr. Nelson was both a passionate turkey hunter and a great story teller. His passing in 1997 caused Butch to reflect on his own experiences in the “turkey woods” over the preceding four decades, and he decided to share them. This book, however, is about more than just the pursuit and kill. Along the way, Butch discovered more about himself and the hunting experience than he learned about turkeys. His experiences served as a classroom for growing not only his calling and hunting skills, they also grew his Christian faith, seeing how God provided this great sport while also giving us the responsibility to be His steward of this great game bird and its habitat. It’s a story that will appeal to novice and veteran, and hopefully draw others to take to the field and experience the thrills of pursuing this noble bird.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After more than 45 years of turkey-hunting experience with some of the best callers and hunters in the nation, author John E. Phillips has developed "The "Turkey Hunter's Bible" to be a complete reference on how to find, call, take, clean and prepare the wild turkey for the table. The author has taken several birds of each subspecies of wild turkey in the continental United States and Mexico. But more importantly, he's hunted with some of the greatest turkey hunters who ever have lived. In "The Turkey Hunter's Bible," you'll get: the most up-to-date, complete guide to one of America's fastest-growing hunting sports; complete coverage of every aspect of the sport - hunting gear, techniques, turkey species, shooting, bowhunting and much more; and plenty of turkey pictures, hunting pictures and line drawings. Using these hunting tips, you also can photograph turkeys in the wild - either with a still camera or a video camera. The mating ritual of the wild turkey gobbler is a beautiful thing to see. When a mature tom spreads his tail, calls all of his feathers to attention, so they stand and make the bird look almost twice as big as he is, he's showing-off for the hens. Whether you want to photograph wild turkeys or take wild turkeys, this book will provide you with the information you need to meet the toms on their own turf. However, the author issues this caution, "Turkey hunting is very addictive. The call of the wild turkey gobbler is as alluring as the call of the Sirens of ancient Greece. And, I've found that when the dogwoods bloom, and Jack Frost is chased-away by Mother Earth, resisting the temptation to go to the woods and call a gobbler is almost impossible." Be sure and check out the bonus videos in the last chapter, where the author has interviews on how to solve turkey-hunting problems with some of the greatest names in the sport, including: Will Primos, Preston Pittman, Harold Knight, Chris Parrish and Eddie Salter. To make sure your next turkey hunt is a success, this turkey ebook is a must-have.

Book excerpt: Turkey hunting is different. The humbling of nature, found only in the season of spring, is universally understood by those who hunt wild turkeys with a burning passion. There is an associated obsession, within the souls of turkey hunters, that is distinctly different than the mindset of those pursuing deer, duck, or any other realm of wild game. This book was written to celebrate, acknowledge, and ultimately pay respect to those who embrace the sounds, feelings, and appreciations that are experienced while chasing these birds. Through a series of stories, lessons learned the hard way, and a few unfortunate situations, you will find both helpful tips and entertainment from the author's outlook toward spring turkey season as he enlightens upon his journey. Some advice and how to is also provided for turkey calling, setup strategies, camouflage patterns, roosted gobblers, and more.

Each individual chapter is a new journey while unfolding how the mind of a turkey hunter processes the spring woods and the perceptions that eventually lead the author to create what is now known as Spring Legion.
Download or read book The Old Pro Turkey Hunter written by Gene Nunnery and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his life, Gene Nunnery was recognized as a master turkey hunter and an artisan who crafted unique, almost irresistible turkey calls. In The Old Pro Turkey Hunter, the vaunted sportsman shares over fifty years of personal experience in Mississippi and surrounding states, along with the decades-old wisdom of the huntsmen who taught him. Throughout the book, his stories make clear that turkey hunting is more than just killing the bird--it is about matching wits with a wild and savvy adversary. As Nunnery explains, "To me that's what it's all about: finding a wise old gobbler who will test your skill as a turkey hunter." Through his stories, Nunnery reveals that the true reward for successful turkey hunting lies in winning the contest, not necessarily exterminating the foe. Real sportsmen know that every now and then the turkey should and will elude the hunter. As Nunnery looks back on his extensive career, he analyzes vast differences in practice, old and new. The shift, he decides, came during his last twenty years on the hunt, and that difference has only increased in the decades since this book was originally published. Michael O. Giles, Bass Pro staff team member, master turkey hunter, and award-winning outdoors writer and author of Passion of the Wild, writes a new foreword that brings the practice of turkey hunting into the present day. Filled with a tested mixture of common sense and specific examples of how master turkey hunters honor their harvest and heritage, The Old Pro Turkey Hunter is the perfect companion for the novice or the adept.

His discussion of advanced tactics and his entertaining hunting stories will appeal to the seasoned turkey hunter. This book is for the beginner, the veteran turkey hunter, and anyone in between! David Blanton of Realtree says this about the author: Ronnie McGaughey was one of the first real turkey hunters I ever met. At the time I couldn t fully appreciate his passion for the sport much less his know how . I learned so much from Ronnie when I was just venturing into the sport and I am grateful. . . But by no means does that make me anywhere CLOSE to being as good in the spring woods as he is! Ronnie is a master woodsman who knows the value of when to move on a hung up gobbler AND when not to call!"

It details not only the excitement and thrills generated during his annual 12-week trek across America chasing after this greatest of gamebirds, but also many of the trials and tribulations suffered along the way. The author's first volume took his readers along for the ride as he learned the turkey hunting game from 1983-1993, and this one covers the years 1994-2000. Alternating chapters expound upon themes which he just feels like talking about. Weddle is one of the country's most traveled turkey hunters, so his stories and opinions will undoubtedly be of interest to anyone sharing in his springtime passions.

Some 35 years ago he was lured into the sport of turkey hunting by a friend's mesmerizing tales that made goose bumps run down his spine and the hair on the back of his neck stand at attention. As exciting as those stories were, nothing prepared him for what happened when he first heard a wild turkey's gobble, and from that moment onward, this man became a turkey hunter above anything and everything else in life.Still to this day, nothing thrills him more than standing on a hardwood ridge at the crack of dawn, listening to those same melodious notes as the King of Spring rattles the woods apart with reverberating gobbles. That's when the stars all align for this "Turkey Man," and that's when he most feels alive!
