Turkey and Turkey Hunting Magazine

I was just wondering if anybody would happen to have some old copies of Turkey and Turkey Hunting Magazine they would want to get rid of? It was always my favorite turkey publication and when I got back into hunting a few years back I was saddened to see it is not longer a monthly (or maybe it was  bi-monthly) publication. Thanks for reading and let me know. Oh I know I can get them on CD but it is just like comic books, I really do not like the digital versions, I like reading them on paper.

Was a great magazine and I bought every edition until it's demise. Good luck in your search.

I have from early 90's until the end but it wouldn't be worth shipping them. The size and weight would be over $50.

When I turkey hunt I use a DSD decoy

Best turkey hunting periodical ever done.  I have every issue and relish looking back through them...like a time machine.  I have quite a few extra copies, as already mentioned, the shipping is the killer, I'd sell em cheap just to free up space.

Before it was turkey and turkey hunting it was just Turkey magazine. I have most of them from 1984 till the Turkey and Turkey hunting and a lot of those up till they quit. Jim Casada has a website he has most every issue for sale reasonable prices but as mentioned shipping would be expensive unless you only wanted a few. His site also has the most comprehensive list of Turkey hunting books anywhere. If it has been written he has it. A good place to check the value of a book before you buy. I found an eBay listing with about 100 of the Turkey and also T&T hunting magazines I got  them for about 50 cents a piece including shipping.
If you make everything easy how do you know when your good at anything?

Thanks, I sure do miss it, love the biology section, it was the first thing I would read in it every issue. I wish the NWTF would have one as good as T&TH was, I have never liked the NWTF magazine to be honest, just seems flat and always has, I wish they would improve it.

Yea that is the killer, hope I can maybe find a remember here in NY that has a few they would like to get rid of, they released one last Spring but not this Spring, I was told over the phone they would still do 1 or 2 a year. I simply do not understand how it went under, the best turkey publication there was as far as magazines go.

Let me know what you have, I would try to work something out with you. You are not by chance in NY are you? Are you going to the Northeast Call Summit if it still goes on?

I did not know of the other name. I was doing some searching and found a magazine called Beards and Spurs but I know nothing of them, do you? I like Jim's site, lot of neat stuff there.

Beards and Spurs was a once a year publication I've seen a few from the 90s I don't know how long they ran or what year they started.

I've been a subscriber of Deer and Deer Hunting for the last 6-7 years.  In most of the March issues, I've seen a small article that advertises Turkey and Turkey Hunting.  They put it out around March, only one issue and you can only get it from newsstands like Books a Million etc.  I can't find my March issue of TTH, so I can't verify.  I wish there was a publication that was devoted solely to Turkey hunting.  I'd jump on board.

Wasn't sure they were doing the yearly spring issue any more. Then like last year I found it on ebay plus picked up some old issues as well. Great read and the best turkey mag for sure. Used to love it when turkey hunter and turkey and turkey hunting were separate magazines. Don't remember when they merged but still was much better then that other one.
