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.

Ray Eye has written a great comprehensive book on turkey hunting. This book will appeal especially to beginning turkey hunters, but advanced hunters will enjoy it as well. It covers all the essentials to becoming a good turkey hunter; filled with tips,techniques, and strategies you need before venturing into the woods. You'll also enjoy his personal stories and it's filled with photos. Recommend!

When I ordered this book I was not expecting much. I've been hunting turkeys for 25 years and now spend in excess of 100 days a year scouting and hunting.
I know a lot about turkeys but that only amounts to 1 percent of what I would like to know. Most of what I know has been learned by trial and error and lots of frustrating mistakes. I ordered the book hoping I could learn a little something from someone with much more experience than I have. After all, a few hours spent reading beats days of fruitless hard work and and lots of frustration in the woods.
In a nutshell, I learned a lot from this book. The author is far ahead of me in the learning and knowledge curve.I hunt only on public ground in several western states and hunting can be tough.The author confirms what I know and suspected about turkeys and greatly increased my knowledge. The tactics and strategies he describes will make my future hunts more enjoyable and successful. I highly recommend this book to all hunters. Good Luck.

If there's one book to buy for turkey hunting, this would be it. The author obviously has the experience to write such a book and he does a great job of making it easy to read.

All of the essentials are here. The photos are plentiful and appropriate. You feel like you're already hunting and it gives you the knowledge to be confident.

If I were buying a turkey hunting book for someone, this would be at the top of the list.

This is the best book I've read so far on the sport of turkey hunting. Ray Eye's writing would even satisfy the non-hunter. If you want to learn, this is the book for you, especially if you're a beginner.

This is a good one for the hunter and reader. If you enjoy turkey hunting or are thinking about starting, this is a good read. There was one problem with this book and that was laying it down and going to work instead of hunting!!!!!

If you have no clue what it is like to hunt for turkeys I recomend this book to you.

The book is full of information on how to hunt for turkeys. The author also give the reader insight on what it like to go turkey hunting using his real life experiences.

This is a great book and I recommend it highly; in fact, I am buying a copy for my neighbor right now. I'm not new to turkey hunting, but I'm still learning, and based on other Amazon reviews bought this book. I wasn't disappointed, and you won't be either. I've learned more about turkeys and turkey hunting that I expected, and it has helped me understand some of the mistakes I have made in past seasons. I'm a better turkey hunter because of this book, and there are few how-to books that have helped me so much. There are some things I am still trying to figure out--like the gobbler yelp that the author refers to a lot--but a bit of internet searching cleared that up, and helped me understand some of the other calls. A good buy for the money!

He laughed and debated (sometimes out loud) with the book the whole time he was reading it. He's a long-time turkey hunter, and picked it up after meeting the author. My husband remarked how well the book was written in a manner to speak to someone with any level of turkey hunting knowledge. It's on loan to his buddy, and he likes it too, apparently.
(he told me five stars.)
