More importantly, they provide advanced shooting instructions so hunters will never miss another gobbler. Even experienced hunters will improve their spring success by following Drury and Harris' advice. - Championship turkey calling secrets

 Big Disappointment August 6, 2007
I purchased this book because I was familiar with the authors writing in magazines,which has been excellent, and hoped I could learn something. I was wrong! Casada missed the mark on this one. There is no useful info here. I need not go into details. To see why, just read the two other unfavorable reviews. Save your time and money. Purchase any other book if you are looking for info and advice on hunting turkeys. For recommendations see my two other reviews. One I highly recommend is written by Brian Lovett who edited this book.
Lacks useful information June 19, 2007

This is one of the most disappointing books on turkey hunting that I own and I own quite a few. The author spends a great deal of time writing about Brad Harris and Mark Drury's hunting experiences but without conveying any significant amount of useful information. There is too much narrative and not enough wisdom. I would also steer clear of Turkey Huntings (sic) Finer Points by Daniel A. Dia Paul. I would recommend the following books which I have read: Hunting Pressured Turkeys by Brian Lovett; Practical Turkey Hunting Strategies by Ray Eye; Advanced Turkey Hunting by Michael Hanback; Successful Turkey Hunting by M.D. Johnson; In the Turkey Woods by Jerome B. Robinson; The Complete Book of Wild Turkey Hunting by John Trout, Jr.; and, Turkey Hunting Tactics of the Pros by Richard Coombs. For Pennsylvania hunters, I highly recommend A Guide to Hunting Pennsylvania Turkeys by Tom Fegely.

This book was a severe disappointment. I expected the book to actually explain some of the tactics mentioned in the book. But, sadly it doesn't. There are 200 pages in the book and the first 40 are devoted to explaining how the author, and the two hunting experts got into turkey hunting. While their tales are touching, they don't reveal anything on how to hunt turkeys.
There is a chapter devoted to each aspect of turkey hunting, calls, clothing, equipment, scouting, working a bird, etc. However, the discussion in each chapter is disappointingly unrevealing. In some cases, the author actually recommends going out and reading books about turkey hunting to get a better understanding of the topic! In other cases the information is just so non-specific that it isn't helpful. For instance, the author will say that being a good caller is very important, but he does not provide guidance on getting better. There were no tips on "learn this call first" or "this is one of the most common turkey sounds." I know that teaching calling in a book is very difficult, but this was the type of information given on most of the topics.
There is some good information in this book, but I think if all the non-helpful stuff were taken out of the book it would probably be about 20 pages long. There are much better books out there on turky hunting that are similarly priced.

Fellow turkey hunter, Do yourself a favor and buy this book. It goes well beyond the basics and I'm sure it will make even veteran hunters at least a little better. Scott
