I purchased this book in used condition from the seller this past spring. The book was in excellent condition for being used. I have read the book and it is a must for any Turkey hunter whether seasoned or just beginning. It will definitely provide the reader with detailed information about the Turkey vocabulary and when to use what call.

This was a gift to a friend who dearly loves calling and hunting wild turkeys. He didn't put this book down after we gave it to him. He knew some of the authors and recognized people in the photos. The glossy photos are very good. The advice and instructions for hunting and calling wild turkeys were superb! All hunters will enjoy this book. It is very professionally written and illustrated with great photos.
