5.0 out of 5 stars How do you know when a hunter is lying?, February 9, 2004

By	briar51 (North Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

Unfortunately the likely answer is 'when his lips are moving'. This old saying mostly applies when there is disagreement in a 'how to' conversation. Ray Eye did not write this book telling how you must hunt to be successful as a turkey hunter, but tells his story of how he does it. I knew after reading what it meant to him to hunt with and the memories of hunting with his grandfather that I found a treasure. Great book, entertaining, and an easy read. A must for old or new gobbler hunters.
