The Wild Turkey and Its Hunting
Edward Avery McIlhenny and others
Few birds are wilier than a wild turkey, as Edward McIlhenny learned stalking them through southern woods since boyhood. He covers the bird's range, history, uncanny shrewdness, courtship, and nesting, then the craft of hunting it. Part natural history, part woodsman's memoir. Match wits with America's craftiest game bird across a lifetime of the chase.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
