This review is from: Gobblers I Have Known...: The Evolution and Ramblings of a Turkey Hunter (Paperback)

Tim does a great job avoiding a lecture, an instruction manual or a PhD discertation with this book. He simply tells very enjoyable turkey hunting stories, and inadvertantly, gives lots of great insight and tips on the sport. I recommend this book to novice turkey hunters, experts, or those just interested in a great read. You will really enjoy this book. It is an easy read, with plenty of action to keep your attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Highly Recommend, October 17, 2001

This review is from: Gobblers I Have Known...: The Evolution and Ramblings of a Turkey Hunter (Paperback)

This book will bring you almost as close to a turkey hunt as actually being there. The author paints a picture of the emotion and environment on each hunt. Once I picked the book up I never set it down until I read every page. This book interested me because the evolution of a turkey hunter is real and I could relate. I also picked up several good tips and viewpoints on hunting the elusive turkey.

This book differs than other turkey hunting books I have read. Most were how-to books that get quite boring. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat and dying to get to the next page to see what happens next, along with some helpful tips that I will definitely use the next time I'm in the spring turkey woods.

I can't wait until the author writes another!

This review is from: Gobblers I Have Known...: The Evolution and Ramblings of a Turkey Hunter (Paperback)

Enjoyed this book immensely. Just good ol campfire tales of wild turkey huntin' with a little righteous opinions thrown in, most of which I agree wholeheartedly. He's one fine fellow in my book and could share my turkey woods anyday.
