The Sultan of Spring is a literary salute to the magic and mysticism of spring turkey hunting. The author, Bob Saile, a veteran outdoor writer, takes the reader on a narrative adventure, laced with instructive insight, across the captivating haunts of the wild gobbler. This odyssey reaches from the swamps of South Florida to the cedar- and cactus-dotted canyons of the Rocky Mountain West, with special emphasis on Western and Midwestern turkey hunting. As the author explains, "somehow, something special, something crazy, something remarkable or funny or even spiritual, seems to happen with regularity in the world of turkey hunting."
The reader will find hunt tales, personality profiles, a chapter that chronicles the amazing comeback of the American wild turkey, and much more. There's even a ghost story of sorts, but the turkeys - and what they inspire in those who hunt them - are very real.
