This is the third book in a series of turkey hunting recollections written by Tom Doc Weddle in which he chronologically details a life well-spent as one of America's most fervent Turkey Men. Few people can boast of having accomplished what's known as a U.S. Super Slam...the taking of a wild turkey from all 49 states which support a spring hunting season. Weddle has three of these to his credit, and is almost finished with numbers four and five! This book covers the years 2001-2006, when he finished the first of those major undertakings, but don't look for this humble man to brag about what he's done. That's not Doc's style, and that's not who he is. This man is quite simply a turkey hunter to the center of his very soul, and this book is filled with stories which others so-afflicted can relate to and enjoy.
It was 40 years ago when the author first heard the gobble of a wild turkey, and he freely admits to not being the same, since. Ordinary people can regulate how much time they spend hunting. Not Doc. The man leaves home in early March, and doesn't come back until June. During this timeframe he'll hunt in 10-12 states on average, but prides himself above any other accomplishment on how many mornings he gets to spend in pursuit of unheard gobbles coming from as-yet unexplored lands. Nearly all of these exploits occur on public ground, which only makes sense, because Weddle is as blue-collar as it gets. Not only does he enjoy rubbing elbows with the masses on properties that are open to everyone else, but he thrives on it. Doc's books take the reader along for the ride.
