Description
Jackson, MS: University of Mississippi Press (October 2018)
Hardback.
New in dust jacket.
A classic gem of wisdom and lore from a master sportsman During his life, Gene Nunnery was recognized as a master turkey hunter and an artisan who craft ed unique, almost irresistible turkey calls. In
The Old Pro Turkey Hunter
, the vaunted sportsman shares over fifty years of personal experience in Mississippi and surrounding states, along with the decades-old wisdom of the huntsmen who taught him.
Throughout the book, his stories make clear that turkey hunting is more than just killing the bird--it is about matching wits with a wild and savvy adversary. As Nunnery explains, "To me that's what it's all about: finding a wise old gobbler who will test your skill as a turkey hunter." Through his stories, Nunnery reveals that the true reward for successful turkey hunting lies in winning the contest, not necessarily exterminating the foe. Real sportsmen know that every now and then the turkey should and will elude the hunter. As Nunnery looks back on his extensive career, he analyzes vast differences in practice, old and new. The shift , he decides, came during his last twenty years on the hunt, and that difference has only increased in the decades since this book was originally published.
Michael O. Giles
, Bass Pro staffteam member, master turkey hunter, and award-winning outdoors writer and author of
Passion of the Wild
, writes a new foreword that brings the practice of turkey hunting into the present day. Filled with a tested mixture of common sense and specific examples of how master turkey hunters honor their harvest and heritage,
The Old Pro Turkey Hunter
is the perfect companion for the novice or the adept.
GENE NUNNERY
(1911-1992) hunted turkeys in Mississippi and Alabama throughout his life and was recognized by his peers as a master hunter. In addition to The Old Pro Turkey Hunter he was the author of I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes unto the Hills: Mississippi Hill Folk.
