I bought Turkey hunting, a one man game off a recommendation of this tread and can't seem to put the book down, it's easily worth the 20 bucks. Its got a southern theme that I enjoy.


I finished mine in 3 days..Ordered the old pro turkey hunter...Since this thread I've found a few others that I would like to get ahold of at some point.

Thats how i started and now its another collection I have. I think I'm somewhere around 200 books turkey related.

And if Southern and Spiritual is your thing, East of the Slash needs to be your next book.  I want to try Bobby Coles books next, hear they're good.  Best Southern Lit I could recommend:  Harry Crews A CHILDHOOD BIOGRAPHY OF A PLACE.   Cormac McCarthy BLOOD MERIDIAN
"One can work for his gobbler by learning to communicate with him, or one can 'buy' his turkey with a decoy.  The choice is up to the 'hunter' " --William Yarbrough

Not turkey related, but if you like historical mountain men type stories, get Crow Killer: The saga of Liver Eating Johnson.


Its the true story that the movie Jeremiah Johnson is based off.

I've read it several times and it's an incredible tale

So I have just about finished the old pro...Wow what a book!

Fantastic book .. was privileged to meet him at UGA. Incredibly underrated author.  I guarantee you " Ivorybills" will make you stop and think about your relationship to the world, God and many other things.

Highly recommended.

Find Deep enough for Ivorybills, by James Kilgo. It's a fine read. Not about turkey hunting specifically, just hunting tradition in the south.

 Ridge Reaper I enjoyed your post and hope you are 100% soon. Gene's was the first book I ever read on turkeys. Sadly a stopped up basement drain allowed a couple of inches of water to back up and ruined several books I had in boxes. I need another copy...

Same here, based on these recommendations, and it is next up on my list.  Also ordered Stephen Bodio's first novel, Tiger Country: A Novel of the Wild Southwest.
