Top turkey books

[3bailey3]

I have read a few of the books mentioned but favorite is Double Gobble by Bobby Dale, good read but I liked it because it was around a area and some people that I know!

Right now can't remember the author but I enjoy Illuminations in the Flatwoods.

All above listed are very good.

Books I'm very interested in reading but haven't yet: Turkey Men volumes 1 and 2. Profiling the guys who have completed the US Super Slam. Including Old Gobbler's very own, Dave Owens, also known here as "Cove"

Anyone read Wingbone Cryers book? That's one book I've always wanted to buy and read,but has eluded me...

"Bad Birds" is definitely my all time favorite, one I always read pre-season.

I'm also very fond of the three turkey hunting books written by John M. McDaniel of Virginia. They contain a great mix of useful information with a lot of great storytelling.

If you enjoyed reading Hutto's Illuminations in the flat woods, go on line and search for "My Life as a Turkey"
its a video documentary on Hutto and his turkey experience. He went on to live with mule deer and bighorn sheep out west too. I used to show this video in my high school wildlife management when we did our unit on wild turkey management. A few of my students emailed him for a while keeping up with what project he was working on at the time. It pretty much follows the book.

This is Jim Casada's website. You can buy his books plus a massive selection of others directly from him. I've bought a couple from him, and he is very quick and a pleasure to buy from.

Wow Thanks for the Tip on Jims web site, Got the one book I was looking for and one more. Then had to get out of there before I spent more money. Will be back fore more, later, if need any turkey book it looks like JIM might have it if you need it.

Haha! I understand. I have to be careful on there or I'll get in major trouble on the home front.

Turkey hunting Digest and Bad Birds both by Jim Spencer.

I would recommend all of Richard Schamber's turkey hunting books . . . but only to my mother in law.

Anything by Tom Kelly or Kenny Morgan or Earl Mickel or Lovett Williams a lifetime of reading there. I still say Tom Kelly's "Take Back in Fancy" is one of his best.
