Turkey Hunting, Then and Now

About the Book

This book is all about hunting wild turkey throughout the central Pennsylvania counties of Mifflin, Centre and Huntingdon. It’s a collection of the many hunts experienced by the author and his turkey hunting companions from the fall of 1943 until the present. Each and every story is true. Not only are they entertaining, but they teach the do’s and don’ts of turkey hunting. As the stories unfold, we’ll be sneaking, setting up, calling, listening and watching. Sometimes we’re successful; sometimes we’re not. We soon learn, however, that some of our best memories are about the turkeys that got away.
