Customer Reviews

One of the Best Books on the Subject . . . . .
You won't find much of the how-to info that is readily found in other books. But, you will be treated to an excellent look at the spirit of turkey hunting. This book respects the hunt, respects this great American game animal, and respects those who hunt with a sense of reverence. I recommend this book highly.

#1wild turkey informational book on the market
This book"The American Wild Turkey:Reflections on the bird,the hunt and the hunter" gives you all the information you need to successfully bag that trophy tom.It tells you a wild turkeys habits,and strenghts and weaknesses.The photography of the birds and diagrams of the set ups you need to bag your bird are extremely helpful and will leave you with no questions unanswered.Even if you think you know everything there is to know about turkeys and turkey hunting,you will still find this book both enteresting and probably informative even for you avid hunters.So I totally recommend this book to beginning and veteran turkey hunters alike.

The American WildTurkey
The book is well done and deals with important issues surrouding turkey hunting by an obviously passionate turkey hunter, but he spends very little time with actual hunts. It is not a how-to book in any sense of the word.
