There are many good reasons for turkey hunting¿s meteoric rise in popularity in recent years. Restoration of North Americäs wild turkey populations is one of the greatest conservation success stories of our time, with birds now occurring in numbers once unimaginable and over a geographic range that was inconceivable only a decade ago. Yet they remain one of our wariest and most elusive quarries.Outdoor writer and guide Bob Humphrey shares his knowledge and experience, as well as the wisdom of others with whom he¿s chased the king of North American game birds over several decades. He covers everything from basic biology to the latest technology and how you can use that information for a more successful and enjoyable hunt.In this expertly written book, you¿ll find advice on locating, setting up, and calling. More important, you¿ll gain a much greater understanding of the wild turkey¿s behavior and learn how to modify and adapt basic techniques to fit particular situations. The result is a comprehensive and contemporary course on turkey hunting, with something for everyone from the beginner to the grizzled veteran.
