I have a great book I'd like to pass on, not sell. It's "Turkey Hunter's Digest" by Dwain Bland. I got this book in the early 80's when I really started hunting turkeys. I've read it multiple times and the pages have turned yellow, still a great book full of tactics and information. I hunted turkeys in the 70's, but nothing like the early 80's. Back then, 5 states, all Eastern's. For a while, only used a muzzleloading 10ga. and even had some articles published in the now defunct "Blackpowder Hunting" magazine. I do get a laugh at all the new camo, I still use camo from the 80's and sometimes don't use any camo just to prove a point. Killed plenty of birds in bluejeans and a green sweatshirt. Anyway, starting to ramble, it's an age thing! If you'd like the book let me know and I'll send it to you. Would prefer a newer turkey hunter, but any turkey hunter is fine with me. I drew a mid-May tag this year and still chomp at the bit to get out there. Turkey hunting is probably my favorite hunting. Take care, Dean.

I have a copy, one of a couple dozen (or more) turkey hunting books I have. It's a good one, especially for it's time. Some hunter is going to get lucky thanks to DeanAnderson's generosity.

Very Generous gesture. Hope a young man/girl can have this to help them get on the path to the most fun you can have in the springtime woods.

If rong doesn't want it, I would love to have it. I've got two boys, 5 and 7, that I'm hoping to get involved. Not to mention I could certainly use some help😉

Hello herschel34, I haven't heard from rong since their original post and no reply to PM's either. So, if you'd like it, please PM me your mailing address and I'll get it out to you. Dean
