Thanks!  I haven't watched a Quaker Boy video in years, but they were some of the first intsructional videos (VHS) that I watched back in the early 90's.

Yes, I saw that episode. Truly an awesome individual and a great tribute to a turkey hunting legend.  Thank you for all he has done for our sport of turkey hunting.
RIP Dick

Same here!  I used some of those to learn to call and how to turkey hunt.

Does anyone know if their older videos are available on DVD.  All I see on their site is a few newer DVD's.  Are these worth watching or have they followed along with the rest of them and spend tons of time telling my why I need a blind and strutting decoy?

Thanks for posting that.

When I first started turkey hunting nobody I new did it where I am in Ontario. I bought a Quacker boy video and then a box call, slate and a single reed mouth call. I still use the pot and box and just threw the mouth call away last year as it is/was totally worn out. Without the advice from Mr. Kirby and his easy going tone on that video I probably would have quit before I realized how much fun turkey hunting is.

I saw it too and it was a great show. You could see the love of turkey hunting in Mr. Kirby, a great man and turkey hunter. R.I.P. Mr. Kirby

I've only seen Mr. Kirby in one of my videos in his later years......he still had quite the passion for hunting them and you could tell he had seen better days up until he was hoisting a big ole longbeard back to the truck.  He looked like a happy teenager then!

This was a very sad loss to the hunting community, Dick was a Icon!! RIP Dick Kirby.

He was definitely a pioneer.  We all lost a great one.
