You easily can take a turkey if you don't make any mistakes, but you have to know what the deadly sins of turkey hunting are to keep you from making those mistakes. If you understand how to hunt a turkey, you're far more likely to take a gobbler than if you just know how to call a turkey. Of course, calling is important, and if you want to learn to call a turkey, Preston Pittman will teach you how to call turkeys with box calls, friction calls, diaphragm calls, and other turkey sounds. You'll also learn why Preston Pittman once put turkey manure all over his body to kill a tough tom. When you have turkeys that strut and drum in the middle of a field, when you know there's no way to get close enough to get a shot, Pittman will show you some weird tactics that have worked for him to help you hunt tough ole toms. But the main thing you'll learn in this book is how to become the turkey. "I try to look like a turkey, walk like a turkey, talk like a turkey, and think like a turkey," Pittman emphasizes. "When you become the turkey, you increase your odds for taking a gobbler by at least 1000%." Few men have dedicated their lives, futures and fortunes to understanding a single animal of God's great creation. The wild turkey gobbler, wherever it is found, has been Preston Pittman's passion his entire life. Using what he's learned while hunting wild turkeys, he's also become a master woodsman who can take most game, regardless of where he hunts. To learn more secrets about how to be a turkey hunter from one of the world champions of the sport, this turkey-hunting book with Preston Pittman is a must.
How to Hunt Turkeys with World Champion Preston Pittman (Audible Audio Edition) John E Phillips John Davenport Night Hawk Publications Books
On the positive side, this book is a very quick read - I finished the entire book in just a couple of hours. Pair the fact that the time investment was minimal with the fact that the monetary investment was only a couple of bucks for the Kindle version, and it is hard to be too critical. Furthermore, Preston Pittman is a really entertaining guy, as well as a fantastic turkey hunter, so the book definitely has some value. There are some valuable tactical and strategic nuggets strewn here an there throughout the book, but honestly much of the same info could be garnered for free by watching some of his YouTube videos, or reading a few of his interviews that can be found on-line.The organization of the book leaves a little to be desired. At times the book is more centered around reeling off some tales of past turkey hunt adventures, with the occasional nugget of advice dropped in to make the point; instead of being centered around strategy with the hunting anecdotal examples thrown in to make the point entertaining. Advanced hunters won't really pick up much, and although there is a lot of basics type material here, the book doesn't flow well enough to be a good beginner's guide. The book occupies a bit of middle ground in that regard, and in that sense lacks a defined target audience. Most beginners won't really care to much about the discussions of each turkey species (other than the one resident to their own area). I will say that getting some insight into Preston's thought process for hunting pressured turkeys (what he calls "bad birds"), as well as his thoughts on the "10 Sins of Turkey Hunting", are probably worth the price of admission. Unfortunately, these chapters only occupy a short section of the book.
Finally, even though Mr. Pittman is a world champion caller, don't expect too much from this book regarding calling. (Which is fine by me, I enjoy the strategy and woodsmanship tactics, but just want to point this out in the context of what you can expect from the book). The extent of the discussion around calling is limited to the strategies for timing aggressive calling, passive calling, and taking the temperature of the bird. No discussion regarding the mechanics of calling is included (i.e. this is not a "how-to call" book), nor is there really any considerable discussion comparing different types of calls.
Overall, Preston Pittman is entertaining and likeable, which makes the book eminently readable, and helps to overcome some of the organizational short-comings of the book.

How to Hunt Turkeys with World Champion Preston Pittman (Audible Audio Edition) John E Phillips John Davenport Night Hawk Publications Books Reviews
I got bored reading this. I was looking for a guide to help me learn how to hunt turkey. You know, what gear to buy..what to do to find a turkey trail, how to setup properly to hunt, what to wear, and all the basics of a basic "how to" book.
Instead, the book seems to be a personal journal and a bragging journal Preston is relaying to an audience about his past conquests.
great book
I loved this book. Any turkey hunter will. Learning from one of the masters is within reach, right on your . Thanks Preston and John.
Good read about turkey hunting. Easy reading with good pointers.
Not sure I would pay for the next book but it was nice to read while sitting in the deer stand.
I like the book and author. He is a good story teller, but I found this to be a better guide for beginning turkey hunter's.
Excellent book for the hunter seeking to bag a turkey.
