My top book to read was- Wayne's Turkey World-60 years of hunting by Wayne Baily.  I also like Turkey Hunting- A One Man Game. Both of those books are signed too. And Dwain Blains- Turkey Hunters Digest.   He has a ton of pics in his book and my fav is when he stepped out of a abandoned shed and took a fall gobbler on the wing with a old muzzleloader.

Just wanted to update this thread. In the last week or so I have managed to read "The Wild Turkey and its Hunting", "Turkey Hunting, a One Man Game", "Illumination of the Flatwoods", and just finished "Tenth Legion." All of these books were great and I appreciate the recommendations. I plan to pick up a couple more by the first of next week. Thanks again!!

I just finished east of the slash. Its a awsome book. Really like it because I too am from Ms and enjoy reading about turkey  hunting in my home state. I ended up ordering a call from John Eddleman who is written about in the book.

Turkey Hunting, A One Man Game by Ken Morgan, The Wild Turkey and Its Hunting by E.A. McIlhenny (free on Google Books) and The Old Pro Turkey Hunter by Gene Nunnery.  Why didn't you say four so I could include Tenth Legion by Tom Kelly?

Can't really do better than that!

I am still hoping to read "The Old Pro Turkey Hunter" but I am going to have to continue on a quest to find a copy cheaper than what I have saw so far. The price of that book is a little over what Id like to spend to read it. But I am sure that it would be well worth the price most are asking.
