I'm still trying to build the book collection, far from as big as some of yours I'm sure. Edit: Not shown is Bad Birds.

I do but right now have some calls to pay off. I would not mind hearing what you have though. Thanks for asking.

I liked it but liked his first book Somewhere Along the Way much more. There is one chapter near the end that I really enjoyed though, if you are a Christian when you read it you will as well, not that it is a religious book mind you.

Collecting turkey hunting or related books is as addictive as call collecting imo. I started out years ago just buying a couple how to books and now I've lost count on them and the money I've spent.
You have a good start in that direction Sir-die.. :icon_thumright:

Thank you much. One of the ones I still need to get is Tenth Legion, every time I find a copy I am willing to spend the money on I seem to be broke and then it sells before I get paid. My birthday is in 10 days and I have already ordered myself a couple of calls, maybe I may add Tenth Legion as well if I can.

Well I am still have to read a few of these, I love to read but read incredibly slowly for whatever reason, so I have not read as many as you might think. Of the ones I have read and in no order I would say
Somewhere Along the Way
Old Pro Turkey Hunter
I am still in the mist of reading it but like bioligy so The Book of the Wild Turkey.
Also still reading (ADD/ADHD so I read several things at a time) I am really liking Tim Rize's book Haunted by the Gobbler
and Dirt Roads and Dog Woods.

I will say I just got Earl Mickel- Longbeards, Callmakers & Memories and have flipped through it and can tell I am really going to dig that one too because I love history and love turkey hunting and calls. I have flipped through Turkey Country and After the Hunt as well the they both look good as well.

I'd pick up Kenny Morgan's two books..   Turkey Hunting: A One Man Game and America, Wild Turkeys & Mongrel Dogs

Sixes

I thought all collections started with the Tenth Legion
