What have you read, watched or listened to that sticks with you and you would recommend?
I just got this Doug Camp book that I've been wanting to read for a long time. Haven't started it yet.

I am not reading anything turkey related at the moment. I am reading a biography on General James Longstreet in what little spare time I can get.

Just finished The Education of a Turkey Hunter by Hanenkrat, Letters to my Grandsons by Proffitt, So you want to hunt turkeys by Rogers, and In the Turkey Woods by Robinson. Currently reading Double Gobble by Dale.
I just got these 3 from Andy Cantrell, went thur the first one very fast but my deer hunting has picked up but about to get stared on the second one. First one was great!

Just started reading America, Wild Turkeys and Mongrel Dogs .....its been good so far!
I am reading" Haunted by the Gobble" written by a member here. CtRize I believe. I am watching duck hunting strategies and setups for next season and of course turkey hunting videos. Mostly osceola hunts as I am making my first trip to Florida this year. I am listening to old 70,s rock, Ace Frehely right now and it is unbelievable. I hope this was informative, lol. Z
I read James Patterson, c. J. Box, etc. books since it is been bitter cold. Spend as much time outside as possible. I read a lot while bow hunting keeps me in tree when things are slow. Listened to video's from the Unicoi show. Read my hunting magazines a little closer this time of year.

I've been thinking about buying letters to my grandsons. How is it/would you recommend it?

I enjoyed it. I thought it was an entertaining read. I don't know that I would put it in the mandatory category like Tenth Legion but entertaining with good stories.
Notdsoyoung I really enjoyed Double Gobbler, I am from Ms and knew some of the people in it, WW Dixion was a fine man and theres a story in it about a man that got shot walking out of a field with his 9 year old son, I had met this guy before and he had told me that story and as I was reading the book I realized the story was about him. Sadly his son never hunted with him again.

Thank you for the information. I, like you and Bobby Dale, wondered what happened after his dad's recovery. I was hoping they could overcome it. Such a sad story on so many levels. Reminds us all to be careful out there.
I'm listening to/ re-listening to the Turkey Hunter podcast on Spotify right now. Helps scratch the itch!

Just started the Turkey Hunting World of Ben Lee. Hoping their will be a few pearls in this one.
Shoot Cold: Winter is my second favorite season after Spring turkey season, I am always looking how to find more to photograph in the cold.

These two are "on deck," Nunnery is a reread and the Dave Harbour book I've had for a while but haven't tackled it yet.

Sure - I just ordered it off from Amazon - its a good quality hardcover book probably 12"x12" thats over 300 pages long so it will keep me busy for awhile at the pace I read
I just finished reading Hunter Farrior's "Ballad of a Turkey Hunter", and am just getting into his "Any Given Spring Morning". Both of them are good, quick reads so far. I like his writing style and can relate to a lot of the stuff he talks about. I finished "Memories of Spring" from Ron Jolly earlier this winter as well which was pretty good. I have "Faces in the Crowd" on deck from Tom Kelly. And I will undoubtedly pick up "The Old Pro Turkey Hunter" and reread it before the season like I do every year!
I have read Hunters first book and working on the second, both good reads, I really like the chapter two coffee cups.

Both good books.
Dug into Jim Spencer's Bad Birds 3-enjoy his storytelling. Just read Ten Birds That Changed The World-would have been a much better book had the author not been politically motivated to turn some of it into a liberal editorial. They Mark My Steps by Michael Simpson is a book I not only enjoyed reading, I was honored to be asked to write the Foreword for it. To indulge my curiosity of hunting history I tracked down a copy of an 1823 copy of John D. Hunter's Manners and Customs of Several Indian Tribes Located West of the Mississippi, which includes some interesting tidbits of firsthand observation of a white captive reporting hunting techniques of a few midwest tribes including turkey hunting.
Podcast about just about anything.
I think a composite of stories from posters on old gobbler would make a good read. They wouldn't even have to be hunt recaps. Maybe someone could do some on a podcast....hint hint

Good idea, we certainly have some provocative threads here!

Hey! wait sec. I know of such a podcast. They've already had Gobblenut on as a guest and their going to be releasing an episode real soon featuring and interview with wingbone call maker EZ Tony Ezolt, who also frequents this site as well.

Recently finished reading Beaver Land - How One Weird Rodent Made America by Leila Philip. Cool wildlife book, I recommend it.
Currently reading Theodore Roosevelt on Leadership, Executive Lessons from the Bully Pulpit by James M. Strock. Early on, but like it so far.
Just today received three that are on deck: A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold, Coyote America by Dan Flores and American Buffalo by Steve Rinella.
Listening to? I usually keep up with the Turkey Science Podcast and the Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Podcast & Blast.

It's called the Off the Roost Podcast. Mossberg90MN and I host it. We started releasing episodes a few weeks ago.

Nice, thanks! Will look it up!
Might be weird but I am starting back into tree top turkeys. Getting the flow and cadence. Also helps make sure my calls are where they need to be.

Two more, even though not turkey specific. One of my favorite sporting authors
