I purchased this book because I was familiar with the authors writing in magazines. In spite of that I still expected a run of the mill book. Was I surprised!! If I could only recommend one book on turkeys this would be it. I've read a lot and most are just ok.
I'm 66 years old and started turkey hunting 25 years ago. I spend in excess of 100 days a year hunting and scouting for birds, all on public land in the Northwest - 6 states. This book reaffirms a lot of what I know,or thought I knew, and the tactics I use and, I still learned a lot! I wish this book would have been available years ago, it would have speeded up my learning curve by leaps and bounds. Read this well, follow Lovett's advice and you will be a much more sucessful hunter. I know I will be. Good luck.

Unlike many books, this one delivers on its title. "Pressured turkeys" are what we hunt in Pennsylvania, and it's about time someone addressed the issue of how to hunt turkeys that have seen it all before. By the end of the first week of our spring season, the odds are that the turkey you're hunting is under pressure.

If you want to judge this book by its cover, go ahead. The picture on the front is only one of dozens upon dozens of beautiful colored photographs throughout. And the text is just as satisfying.

You've learned from your mistakes. Learn from Lovett's, too. He admits he has made many, and he clearly teaches the lessons of his mistakes. Get your hands on this book -- you'll be a better turkey hunter if you do.

This book is basically a con job. The content is not really geared to pressured turkeys, which the title leads you to believe. It is just a general book about turkey hunting. Even more disappointing is that it is written by a guy who admits that he is new to turkey hunting. It also utilizes large color pictures to take up space, making the actual content of the book much less that its size, which is not that big anyway. It is a pretty good general turkey hunting book, but has nothing new in the way of hunting pressured turkeys. If you are interested in new information suited to hunting pressured turkeys, don't buy it.

Great book. Lots on useful info whether you are just starting out or have been turkey hunting for years. Full of color photos and the author does a great job keeping your attention. I really enjoyed it and would strongly recommend this book.
