During his life, Gene Nunnery was recognized as a master turkey
hunter and an artisan who crafted unique, almost irresistible
turkey calls. In The Old Pro Turkey Hunter, the vaunted sportsman
shares over fifty years of personal experience in Mississippi and
surrounding states, along with the decades-old wisdom of the
huntsmen who taught him. Throughout the book, his stories make
clear that turkey hunting is more than just killing the bird-it is
about matching wits with a wild and savvy adversary. As Nunnery
explains, ""To me that's what it's all about: finding a wise old
gobbler who will test your skill as a turkey hunter."" Through his
stories, Nunnery reveals that the true reward for successful turkey
hunting lies in winning the contest, not necessarily exterminating
the foe. Real sportsmen know that every now and then the turkey
should and will elude the hunter. As Nunnery looks back on his
extensive career, he analyzes vast differences in practice, old and
new. The shift, he decides, came during his last twenty years on
the hunt, and that difference has only increased in the decades
since this book was originally published. Michael O. Giles, Bass
Pro staff team member, master turkey hunter, and award-winning
outdoors writer and author of Passion of the Wild, writes a new
foreword that brings the practice of turkey hunting into the
present day. Filled with a tested mixture of common sense and
specific examples of how master turkey hunters honor their harvest
and heritage, The Old Pro Turkey Hunter is the perfect companion
for the novice or the adept.
See those animal signs on the trail? Was that footprint left by a
fox or a wolf? Was that pile of droppings deposited by a moose, a
mouse, or a marten? Scats and Tracks of the Northeast will help you
determine which mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians have
passed your way and could still be nearby. Clearly written
descriptions and illustrations of scats, tracks, and gait patterns
will help you recognize seventy Northeast species. An
identification key, a glossary of tracking terms, and detailed
instructions on how to document your finds are also included here.
Easy-to-use scat and track measurements appear on each page, making
this book especially field friendly and letting you know if a white
tailed ptarmigan, a red fox, or even a black bear has been your
way.
