The Book on Turkey Hunting

Dr. Ron McGaughey, known to his friends as Ronnie, has been turkey hunting for 46 years. He grew up in rural Mississippi and started turkey hunting at the age of 12. There were few turkey hunters at that time, and no videos or audio tapes to learn from, so he learned to turkey hunt by doing it! At 58, he still spends 30 to 40 days afield each spring hunting turkeys across the South and Midwest. His 32 years of teaching and research, coupled with his 46 years of turkey hunting, uniquely qualify him to write "The Book on Turkey Hunting." His skills as a woodsman, his turkey hunting knowledge, and his experience in teaching are evident in the way this book is written. Do not expect a boring textbook because intermingled with the "how to" turkey hunt are numerous stories that illustrate and entertain. His attention to detail in describing the gear needed, turkeys and turkey behavior, calling, and the fundamentals of turkey hunting, make the book ideal for the beginner. His discussion of advanced tactics and his entertaining hunting stories will appeal to the seasoned turkey hunter. This book is for the beginner, the veteran turkey hunter, and anyone in between!
