Excellent for Beginners

This book is great for covering the basics of turkey hunting. It covers everything from how to call to the behavior of turkeys. It also covers spring and fall seasons (although the fall season is only a couple of pages). This book has everything a beginning turkey hunter needs to know.

This book got me started

Reading this book helped me in a big way. It starts, teaching you about the bird itself and then gets into what to use, where to look, how to hunt, and what to do afterwards. For the begginer in turkey hunting this book is tops.

Comprehensive Primer for the First Time Turkey hunter.

Covers Eastern, Ocelola, Merriams, Rio Grande and Goulds Turkeys. Shotgun. bow, Muzzleloadin' and Rifle techniques. Tactics, set ups, and special situations - Sring and Fall seasons. Describes Turkeys life from hatch to Oven! Easy reading and informative. Veterns beware - the topic is covered at a very basic level. Well illustrated with great pictures - worth the 14$ as an addition to any turkey hunters library. Its the first book I give (require) new turkey chasers to read before I take them in the woods.
