Bøker av Jim Spencer

All things come to an end, and this is the final collection of author and turkey hunter Jim Spencer's famous Bad Birds stories. Spencerbegan writing these tales of triumph and woe in 2000, when he started a long-running feature for Turkey & Turkey Hunting magazine. Since then, a Bad Birds tale has appeared in every issue, and he has developed what can only be called a cult following within the turkey hunting subculture. Spencer has been chasing turkeys since 1977, and to date has hunted them in three countries and more than 30 states. He and his outdoor writer wife Jill Easton travel from mid-March to late May, chasing the gobble in six to ten states every spring. They make their home in the north Arkansas Ozarks, surrounded by the forest and, in years following decent hatches, by turkeys.

Many people have reached a reasonable degree of mastery as turkey hunters, but becoming truly expert simply lies beyond reality. On the other hand, it is possible (though rare) to reach a true pinnacle of success as a teller of turkey tales. With hundreds of turkey articles spreading over four-plus decades, and now with this third book on the subject, Jim Spencer has climbed that lofty peak. No one writing about turkeys today can top his ability to spin a yarn. To have this modern mountain man (that's his email handle) as a literary sidekick is to travel through woods of springtime wonder.- Jim Casada, author of Innovative Turkey Hunting and Remembering the Greats
