Customer Reviews

My husband wouldn't shut up while reading this book!!

He laughed and debated (sometimes out loud) with the book the whole time he was reading it. He's a long-time turkey hunter, and picked it up after meeting the author. My husband remarked how well the book was written in a manner to speak to someone with any level of turkey hunting knowledge. It's on loan to his buddy, and he likes it too, apparently. (he told me five stars.)

Learn from one of the best

When I ordered this book I was not expecting much. I've been hunting turkeys for 25 years and now spend in excess of 100 days a year scouting and hunting. I know a lot about turkeys but that only amounts to 1 percent of what I would like to know. Most of what I know has been learned by trial and error and lots of frustrating mistakes. I ordered the book hoping I could learn a little something from someone with much more experience than I have. After all, a few hours spent reading beats days of fruitless hard work and and lots of frustration in the woods. In a nutshell, I learned a lot from this book. The author is far ahead of me in the learning and knowledge curve.I hunt only on public ground in several western states and hunting can be tough.The author confirms what I know and suspected about turkeys and greatly increased my knowledge. The tactics and strategies he describes will make my future hunts more enjoyable and successful. I highly recommend this book to all hunters. Good Luck.

How do you know when a hunter is lying?

Unfortunately the likely answer is 'when his lips are moving'. This old saying mostly applies when there is disagreement in a 'how to' conversation. Ray Eye did not write this book telling how you must hunt to be successful as a turkey hunter, but tells his story of how he does it. I knew after reading what it meant to him to hunt with and the memories of hunting with his grandfather that I found a treasure. Great book, entertaining, and an easy read. A must for old or new gobbler hunters.
