Mike hanback had a good one in probably the late 90's...cant recall the name of it
Spring Gobbler Fever.
excellent how to with good stories as well.
the best one ime is Tomfoolery 2000 by NC native Earl Groves.
casada is your best chance to find a copy.
tells you how to kill one and has great hunt tales to make the points.
he was a NWTF executive back when their leaders could actually kill a turkey.
Thank yall so much for all the great info. Im not really looking for how to, books as much as story telling or old books about hunting in the past. Im trying to get a collection together of old stuff to pass down to my son one day.
Also a long time back there was a older gentleman at the NWTF turkey banquet in Hillsborough, who was selling books about his years hunting turkeys I believe in Caswell county or North Carolina. For the life of me I cant remember his name, I wish like crazy I would have bought that book, but i was really young and dumb.
I'll trade you another one of these for your East of the Slash. My East of the Slash got permanently borrowed but someone I don't keep in touch with anymore, I believe. It's a great book if you grew up in the Mississippi Delta hunting behind the mainline MS river levee, which I did and still do, just not often enough now.
Wayne's Turkey World: 60 Years of Hunting, by the late Wayne Bailey is worthy of a look. Wayne was the NCWRC's Wild Turkey Project Leader during most of NC's turkey restoration years. He was "the turkey man" in his day. A turkey legend, if you ask me.
this is the one you might have seen waynemoe.
Mr. bailey is a big reason we have turkeys to play with in NC today.
Bingo o.s.! I was at that NWTF banquet waymoe1 mentioned too, in fact. Wayne was walking around introducing himself to folks, and signing his books as he sold them. I got me one!
that's how i got my copy as well. should have gotten one of his wingbone calls.
Thank yall very much. Yall are on the ball for sure with that. I couldnt remember that guys name for anything, heck I believe that banquet was back in 02 or 03 anyway. At that time I was spending to much time at the Wild turkey bar lol instead of getting that book like i should have.

Some of the books I've accumulated over the years........I only loan to people who live nearby so I can go retrieve them!! (at gunpoint if necessary)
just so you know The Season is worth a whole lot more than you paid for it.
The Old Pro Turkey Hunter by Gene Nunnery is my favorite.
BigBow,
Does your copy of this book have a dust jacket? If so is their any information on inside of the jacket?
Mine is blank.Which i have never noticed. Perhaps they all were.
anyone else that has a copy can chime in.
The dust jacket is blank on the inside, but the outside of the dust jacket has a picture of Ben Lee & Jack Dudley that gives tribute to the author..
