What is the best turkey hunting book ever?

Bowguy

I know there are many more famous but I dug Knight n Hales Ultimate Turkey Hunter. Not sure what struck a cord with me but it did. Ray Eyes first book was good too, I especially liked the first chapter. The real old books can be great too.

The most entertaining book I have read on turkey hunting. Bad Birds by Jim Spencer.

Lots of great books makes it hard to pick just one. Nunnery, Morgan, earlier Kelly, Davis, Elliot. More recent ones such as Dale, Weddle, Hutto are great reads. Casada's "Remembering the Greats" really brings the old masters to life.

I love turkey hunting and I love to read, so I love getting some ideas out of this thread.  Has anyone read The Turkey Hunting World of Ben Lee?  Any good?

Yes I have. It's awesome to see how things have changed from how he seen it years ago. I also will throw out my vote for "Old Pro Turkey Hunter & The Tenth Legion". Both are great....

OK thanks.  I've already ordered Old Pro Turkey Hunter due to the recommendations in this thread.

check out "the greatest wild gobbler." By Larry dablemont.  It is about the author who was a "pioneer" of sorts when turkey were just beginning to pick up in north arkansas.
This year is going to suck!!!
