No sir, did not have as much luck on it as I did Ben Lee's book. It is a 1984 reprint, but I got it for a great price.
Already have skimmed through it as I am currently reading America, Wild Turkeys, and Mongrel Dogs by Kenny Morgan. It will be a fun read as I recognize many of the places he is talking about, some are my stomping grounds.
Going to pick up a Lovett Williams book from Mr. Casada tomorrow. Got the offseason planned out!

Well done Donald, we'll all expect an essay by the end of the semester.

Congrats! Great read!!
Hopefully one day, I can buy that book as well. I just ordered OTHA BARHAMS new Spring Turkey Hunting book. Hope to get that next week. I know the American Wild Turkey by Davis is very expensive. I also order from Jim Casada from time to time. Good place to check for old and new turkey books.
When I got my copy of the GREATEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE by JACK DUDLEY- Jim Casada put Otha Barhams card in the book. He knew Dudley well and I can't wait to get Spring Beconings. He lives in Meridian MS . I also have both of Gene Nunnery's books. One day, I want to Spring turkey hunt in that area of Mississippi.
Hopefully my own 3 turkey hunting books will be worth some money one day. My print runs for each was less then 250 and I am sold out of one and the other 2 are getting low fast.

I am fortunate that Mr. Casada lives about 10 minutes from me. I was able to swing by to pick up my book and enjoy a short conversation before he had to take off for more important responsibilities.

The Florida parishes were a wonderful area in the 70s and 80s. Damned chainsaws. So miss my friend. He knew how to hunt them the right way.

Just received this book from Mr Casada last week.
Sil: Good to see you! Hope you are well. You are right the Florida Parishes were a special place back then. Mr Kenny was a part of that. I miss it all!
OP: you have a treasure. Many of today's hunters could learn a lot by reading that book! Unfortunately, many won't have the opportunity and many others lack the attention span to get through it.
Ah yes-- The Art And Science Of Wild Turkey Hunting-- I have that one as well. I really think that alot og Spring hunters here would enjoy AMERICA,WILD TURKEYS, AND MONGREL DOGS. Took me about 1 month to read that after work.
Great read right there
Since most of my hunting is done until Spring, besides some waterfowl, squirrels, and rabbits here and there, I have begun reading again. Still got a few I have picked up that I have not read yet, The American Wild Turkey by Henry Davis, I recently picked up another book by Lovett Williams. Been listening to the Real Turkey CDs to and from work and decided to get The Voice and Vocabulary of the Wild Turkey. Really looking forward to getting into it.
