Book SynopsisSolid hunting advice from the world’s most famous turkey hunter.Before the celebrated “return” of American wild turkey populations, a boy named Ray Eye was born into a hunting tradition rooted in one of the remaining turkey strongholds, deep in the Missouri Ozark Mountains. He grew up living with those turkeys and essentially becoming one of them. It is because of this experience that Ray Eye is truly qualified to write his Turkey Hunter’s Bible. His sense of history and his perspective on wild turkeys will be appreciated by every turkey hunter.Ray has decided to lay all of his cards face up on the table, revealing exactly what he does to find, scout, call, and kill turkeys from one end of their range to the other. He goes into intimate detail about everything, including the secret to calling turkeys any day of the year! Now as an added bonus, a DVD will come packaged with the book detailing the various calls you can use to lure a turkey, as well as different turkey hunting tactics.
