Been discussed at length on here but was looking for some ideas.
Anyone got a recommendation on books similar to east of the slash and the old pro turkey hunter? I've also read the tenth legion and a couple others.
I really liked the story telling of old pro and east of the slash.
Also, any other books out there based in Mississippi? Being from Mississippi it's enjoyable reading about old timers in my neck of the woods.
Thanks!

No need to apologize. There are always tips and strategies within the pages of the books you mentioned.
"One Man Game" & "America Wild Turkeys & Mongrel Dogs" by Kenny Morgan are two great books I'd recommend.
Also anything by Col Tom Kelly.

You have hit the highlights of my readings. Archive.org has a lot of books on turkeys and turkey hunting that you can checkout and read online. Some are very hard to find like The American Wild Turkey.
Here is a thread I did asking the same, lot of good suggestions there. http://oldgobbler.com/Forum/index.php/topic,82172.msg797502.html#msg797502
I love the way Kenny Morgan writes/thinks. He's the guy I'd recommend
Any good book suggestions that are available on Kindle?
Ron Cloughs ,One Man's Close Calls is all stories but based in the Carolina. Lots of illustrations and stories.

"One Man Game" by Ken Morgan is available on Kindle if I remember correctly.

Not hunting but about turkeys, Illumination in the flatwoods is a great read!

X2 - Fantastic book!
I really enjoyed Somewhere Along The Way by Andy Johnson This is the review I wrote about it on Amazon
I have severe ADD/ADHD so though I love to read it is seldom I find anything that can hold my attention all the way through and this book did just that. It is well written, easy to read, not somebody trying to tell you how wonderful they are, just somebody sharing their memories like you would expect around a campfire. I also enjoyed the reverence shown to the Lord and all his creation without going overboard and turning it into a religious book.
The way he tells a story makes it easy to picture where he is at and what he was feeling when he was there. I hope he comes out with another book.
Oh I have past the book on to a friend and he has passed it onto his son and they have also really enjoyed it.

I'm currently reading "The Education of a Turkey Hunter" by Frank T. Hanenkrat
It's a good read.
I read Illumination in the Flatwoods and enjoyed it very much. A guy told me about a Tube video that is that book. I watched it last night just to see. It was close to the book. The title is: My Life as a Turkey, runs about an hour.

I just finished Jim Spencer's "Bad Birds" it was as the title says about bad birds..It was a good book but nothing to write home about.
I am currently waiting on Turkey Tails and Tales from Across USA #1 Actually got ahold of Doc on another forum and have a signed hardback coming

Get Doc's second book while you are at it. I just read both of them for the second time.
Currently reading Practical Turkey Hunting Strategies by Ray Eye. More of a how to book but I'm reading it anyway.

I mentioned Somewhere Along the Way by Andy Johnson above and his second book Dirt Roads and Dogwoods by Andy Johnson was released this week. Going to be ordering an autographed copy after the NE Call Makers Summit.
Now I'm reading a VERY good turkey hunting book.
It's The American Wild Turkey Hunting Tactics and Techniques by John McDaniel.
I bought it used and just ordered another book by him. Worth looking for.
