For those who would like to know...I just found out on my Facebook page Mr. Lovett williams has passed away.
So sorry to hear that. Thoughts and prayers for his family.
Sorry to learn this.
I just received a little two piece wingbone from him two days ago. Nice little caller he built.
He sure did an awful lot for the wild turkey.
Prayers to his family

:-[ A truly Great Turkey Man has passed on, he has contributed greatly to this sport and way of life. This sport of ours, if you really pursue this bird, consumes you and steals a corner of your heart. Mr Williams has made the Wild Turkey the pursuit of his life. I'm glad I purchased his book, "Wild Turkey Hunting and Management." My prayers are with his family. :jesus-cross:

Many times I met him in person and talked to him over the phone , he was a good man full of old fashioned values and he greatly enjoyed fielding questions regarding turkey biology
Prayers out to Lovett and his family :bible: :cross2:
Sad to hear this news.

He will be missed.. prayers to his Family..
Sad news, prayers sent to his family. The turkey hunting community has lost a true legend and advocate for the wild turkey.
Lovett and I had long conversations through the years and did not realize until a friend brought it to my attention that he had my name under his acknowledgements in his book "The wild Turkey & Management...That book has a lot of meaning now...Had just ordered another book for a friend out west as he was interested in Lovett's writings.
Lovett the world is a better place because you were in it.
A very good interview.http://vimeo.com/60200527
Very sad to hear this. A great man with a keen insight of the wild turkey . He will be missed. :cross2:
Prayers go out to his family.
A true loss to the Turkey hunting community. Very nice gentleman, I had many conversations and correspondences with him over the years. I once sent an exceptional beard I had harvested to him at his request, for him to study and include in a article/book he was working on... he returned it along with copies of both his book & CD!!
His knowledge and willingness to share it benefited all turkey hunters, whether they ever realized it or not.
R.I.P. My friend,
Ron
So sorry to hear
The turkey world just lost a bunch of knowledge
Prayers sent for his family. The turkey community will surely miss him.....
:angel9: RIP BROTHER
That's a real bummer. He was an icon of the turkey hunting world. RIP Lovett. :jesus-cross:
A note from our local Chapter;
I am sad to announce that the NWTF has lost one of its loved members and well respected turkey biologist, Lovett Williams. Lovett was instrumental in restoring the Osceola turkey population, and opening of the wildlife research center in Gainesville Fl. He is best known for the numerous books he has published on wild turkeys, throughout the years. One would only wish, they could understand turkeys, the way Lovett did.
Lovetts memorial will be held Sunday (May 3) at 2:00 at Prairie Creek Lodge (outside of Gainesville). Click on link for directions.http://alachuaconservationtrust.org/index.php?/alachua_v2/pcl_map
In Lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to the Lovett Williams Conservation Fund. Donations may be mailed to Lovett's wife...

Very sorry to hear this, wish I could have talked to him just once.
My best friend had the great good fortune to hunt with Lovett Williams several years ago and learned more from spending time in turkey camp with him in a week than he had in years on his own in the woods. I heard he was in poor health last year and I hope he is at peace now. I appreciate the dedication and love Lovett showed for wild turkeys and their habitat.

wild turkey biology will suffer quite a setback without Lovett. His burdens are no more he's busy chasing long beards!
