Publisher's Synopsis

Evocative stories of wild turkey hunting capture the lure and lore of America's greatest game bird

As a young man, Archibald Rutledge hunted extensively around the South Carolina plantation where he grew up. From his many encounters with wild turkeys--and from the lengthy periods of reflection during his searches for the elusive bird--he grew wise in their ways.
This collection, assembled by award-winning outdoor writer Jim Casada, gathers thirty-four of Rutledge's finest turkey-hunting stories. A master of mood and setting, Rutledge invites the reader to share in the quiet anticipation and breathless uncertainty of the sport. These tales will enthrall--and perhaps even instruct--experienced hunters. Despite recent changes in the turkey population and the laws governing the bird's pursuit, Rutledge's stories remain timeless accounts of a beloved American sport.
