I have all of the ones mentioned so far and they are all worth owning. Another I would highly recommend is Turkey Hunting: Spring and Fall by Doug Camp.

Double B

Ultimate Turkey Hunting by Harold Knight & David Hale w forward by Wade L. Bourne.  I probably learned more out of that book than any other book starting out.  Early 90's time period I believe.  They were just starting to use the Mossberg 835.  Good read with their history and many good stories.

GobbleNut

One of my favorites is a book by one of our current (or perhaps, past) members here, Tom Weddle (Hookspur) titled "Turkey Tails and Tales from Across the USA".  It has only been out a couple of years, but I highly recommend it as being both entertaining and informative, as well as being very well written.

"East of the Slash" by Wade Wineman.

Double B

Definitely agree Gobblenut, Weddle's book is another great read. .......and by a fellow Hoosier.  A buddy loaned it to me and it was quite enjoyable.

OldSchool

Of what I've read The Old Pro Turkey Hunter by Gene Nunnery is my favorite. I read it several times a year.

Where can I purchase this book? Also, I want to thank everyone for all of the input. Many of these I have and some I do not have. I love comparing different strategies and techniques with different hunters. I try to take a little from each book and try to encompass it in my own style of turkey hunting. You can never learn too much.

This was the book that got me started turkey hunting.  My dad bought it and a box call for me when I was in fourth or fifth grade.
Turkey Hunting with Charlie Elliott is another good one
