BAD BIRDS by Jim Spencer

[tomstopper]

I had just gotten this book in the mail the other day and cant put it down. I used to love his stories in the Turkey & Turkey Hunting magazine & this book is a small collection of them. Just wondering if any of you have read this book and what did you think.

I own a copy.
I read it before every season.
This book caused me to purchase other books of Jim's.

It was fun to read his articles in Turkey and Turkey Hunting. I miss both.

I'm a huge fan of Jim's writing!   

I have a quote from him as a signature line on another forum, and after seeing it Jim reached out to me to say hello and introduce himself.  Super guy, excellent writer, and a terrific sense of humor.

Did you find the book helpful?   Always looking for another book to improve my hunting skills.

Keep it by the bed all the time.  It's nice to pick it up and read a short story and then go to sleep.  I have read it multiple times by random story.

My favorite turkey hunting book!

I also read it ritually before the season!

I don't know if I would say helpful (although I am sure you might find something that he does that you don't so I would say that you could possibly learn something new), but definitely entertaining. It's always fun to read about the dang birds that can get the best of us. Just a good read

Jim Spencer's Turkey Hunting Digest is also a great book alot of instruction and hunting stories  I highly recommend it to new TH . I reread it every year before the season.Jim spends several months every season hunting Turkeys across the  country and has a wealth of experience and has a writing style I like. I'd put him in the same class as Mr. Kelly. His Bad birds book are the stories from T&TH magazine in book form great read as well.I'm hoping Jim writes another Turkey book soon.

I had a hard time finding this book (Amazon has it for $9,999.97, whatever that means), but did end up finding a copy at this mom and pop bookstore in New Mexico. I don't have any connection with these folks, but I like the kind of books they stock. They have about a half dozen or so copies left, if anyone else is looking for it.
