Turkey hunting in fall and winter was once a big thing, and many old-time writers who authored early turkey-hunting books wrote of fall hunting. Hickoff concentrates his energies on fall turkey hunting, and he knows what it takes to be successful.
This book is filled with solid information that can make fall turkey hunting successful. We don’t have a statewide fall turkey season, and it is limited to isolated areas these days. However, nothing prevents a hunter from applying for a fall tag and hunt where the season is open.
Hickoff’s book is well-written, and is the first modern book on the topic. It also is filled with color photos that back up what the author is writing about. This is a book every hunter should have in their collection if they ever intend to hunt the fall season. I heartily endorse this title.
Having hunted deer most of my life, but now a beginning turkey hunter in my early forties, I am currently reading and am totally intrigued and pleased at the information that Steve is sharing on the pages. He is answering many of the questions to the “whys?” that I have been asking myself as I roam the woods and begin to scout and hunt the Eastern wild turkey here in Vermont. If this comment could reach Steve, I would simply say, “Thanks, man. If I could find your e-mail, I’d love to contact you.”
Respectfully, Dave – Vermont.
