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.

This, the author’s first book, is a dandy. It is done in a classic story-telling fashion that only comes from having spent many years in the turkey woods in all types of weather with all types of cooperative and uncooperative birds.
It has only six photos, but this shortfall of illustrations is made up for by the folksy type of writing. He makes readers feel like they are sitting on the ground right beside his as he coaxes a white-headed limb-walker up to the gun. Each of the chapters in this book is based on his true experiences.
Michigan’s turkey season kicks off in about two months, and anyone looking to get some last-minute hunting tips, and some fine fireside reading, now is the time to order this book. It’s a great read.
