For the sportsman who thrills at the booming gobble of a spring tom during mating season and wants to extend that exhilarating feeling, Steve Hickoff s Fall and Winter Turkey Hunter s Handbook offers the perfect remedy. Hickoff examines fall turkey behavior and vocalizations and provides details on locating, scouting, and calling fall gobblers, with tips for mapping flock patterns and identifying changing flock composition. Also discussed is the little-known strategy of hunting turkeys with dogs, using them to find and flush flocks. The material on firearms, ammunition, and archery tackle will benefit all turkey hunters--fall, winter, or spring.

Turkey hunters handbook,
By
This review is from: Fall and Winter Turkey Hunter's Handbook (Paperback)
Its one of the few books on turkey hunting that zeros in on fall and winter hunting as opposed to spring hunting. Steve Hickoff has an easy to follow layout which makes it like the FAQs of fall and winter turkey hunting. Many of his examples come from New York and the northeast, where I hunt, so that is another plus for me. Additionally it also has great photographs which are sometimes instuctive and other times simply inspire one to grab the shotgun go turkey hunting.

This review is from: Fall and Winter Turkey Hunter's Handbook (Paperback)
The author went to great effort to produce a high quality book on fall hunting. It is written for one who has not hunted turkeys before. It has lots of color photos. It is absolutly not a book (as many are) quickly thrown together to make a quick dollar or two.
I pre ordered this book as there are no modern books devoted exclusively to fall hunting. I was not disappointed. I've hunted spring birds for many, many years but only started fall hunting three years ago as seasons opened. It was tough going. I had a lot to learn and I learned a lot from this book. The author covers all aspects ,in great detail, of fall hunting and leaves nothing out. Hickoff is a professional writer and it is obvious he has much experience with fall birds. This combination resulted in a great book. I highly recommend it. One negative comment however: Turkey hunting is my passion.I also like to spend a lot of time in the woods. The book caused me to have a very short season (unlike past unsuccessful seasons).But, when you punch your tag you are done. Buy and read this book and you will also have a shorter season.

for the die-hard turkey hunter,
This review is from: Fall and Winter Turkey Hunter's Handbook (Paperback)
I just received this book written by Steve Hickoff, and let me say, this guy has such a passion for turkeys and turkey hunting, I dont believe there could be a better book on the market dealing with the fall and winter turkey season. I havent even read half the book yet and already have such a better handle (for the newbe I am) for the fall and winter season. I strongly recommend this book for all people of all ages, experienced turkeys hunters and begginers alike. All in all if you want a better understanding of turkeys during the fall and winter months get this book!!! It will answer all your questions, from gun hunters to bow hunters. ENJOY!!!
