The quickest way to learn how to turkey hunt successfully is to either hunt with a turkey hunter with years of experience or a turkey-hunting guide. These two types of turkey hunters have solved most of the problems turkey hunters ever will face. They don’t always get their birds, but they’re far more experienced than anyone else I know.

Since writing this book and from hunting with some of the best turkey hunters and guides in the country, I’ve learned that the more experience that turkey hunters have in turkey woods, the more likely it is that they’ll be successful. Too, each turkey-hunting guide has his own style of calling, hunting, and outsmarting turkeys.

Just as one size of shoes won’t fit every person, one style of turkey hunting doesn’t fit each hunter. That’s why we’ve also asked several hunters why they hunt with different turkey-hunting guides each season. Over the years, I’ve learned that regardless of where and what race of turkeys you hunt, each gobbler has his own likes and dislikes. While listening to this book, make a list of the new information you’ve learned, take that list with you during turkey season, and try some of the new tactics. Then you’ll become a more versatile turkey hunter and prove the wisdom from The Turkey Hunting Guides’ Bible.
