During his life, Gene Nunnery was recognized as a master turkey hunter and an artisan who crafted 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 staff team 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.
From the host of the Travel Channel’s “The Wild Within.” A hunt for the American buffalo—an adventurous, fascinating examination of an animal that has haunted the American imagination. In 2005, Steven Rinella won a lottery permit to hunt for a wild buffalo, or American bison, in the Alaskan wilderness. Despite the odds—there’s only a 2 percent chance of drawing the permit, and fewer than 20 percent of those hunters are successful—Rinella managed to kill a buffalo on a snow-covered mountainside and then raft the meat back to civilization while being trailed by grizzly bears and suffering from hypothermia. Throughout these adventures, Rinella found himself contemplating his own place among the 14,000 years’ worth of buffalo hunters in North America, as well as the buffalo’s place in the American experience. At the time of the Revolutionary War, North America was home to approximately 40 million buffalo, the largest herd of big mammals on the planet, but by the mid-1890s only a few hundred remained. Now that the buffalo is on the verge of a dramatic ecological recovery across the West, Americans are faced with the challenge of how, and if, we can dare to share our land with a beast that is the embodiment of the American wilderness. American Buffalo is a narrative tale of Rinella’s hunt. But beyond that, it is the story of the many ways in which the buffalo has shaped our national identity. Rinella takes us across the continent in search of the buffalo’s past, present, and future: to the Bering Land Bridge, where scientists search for buffalo bones amid artifacts of the New World’s earliest human inhabitants; to buffalo jumps where Native Americans once ran buffalo over cliffs by the thousands; to the Detroit Carbon works, a “bone charcoal” plant that made fortunes in the late 1800s by turning millions of tons of buffalo bones into bone meal, black dye, and fine china; and even to an abattoir turned fashion mecca in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, where a depressed buffalo named Black Diamond met his fate after serving as the model for the American nickel. Rinella’s erudition and exuberance, combined with his gift for storytelling, make him the perfect guide for a book that combines outdoor adventure with a quirky blend of facts and observations about history, biology, and the natural world. Both a captivating narrative and a book of environmental and historical significance, American Buffalo tells us as much about ourselves as Americans as it does about the creature who perhaps best of all embodies the American ethos.

How to Find Your Elk and Get Him in Close by John Phillips Pdf
"How to Find Your Elk and Get Him in Close" will teach you the tactics of 10-nationally-known elk hunters to help put that giant bull that's been screaming at you from afar in your lap. You'll learn what some of the best guides, outfitters and successful elk hunters do to find elk and get them in really close.Also, in this book, you'll notice that the majority of the experts call elk to within bow range. We selected numerous bowhunters and bowhunting guides, since the bowhunter has to get much closer to a bull than the gun hunter does - often less than 20 or 30 yards - practically in your lap.On one elk hunt, I'd heard this bull bugle all morning. My guide had called him within 30 yards, and he was standing just inside black timber. I saw the smoke from his nose wafting out into the icy air less than 30-yards away. All the bull had to do was step out, and I could take the shot with my bow. But then, through no fault of my guide or me, the bull vanished. The only conclusion I could come up with to understand why the bull I wanted to take with my bow hadn't stepped out and given me a shot was because he got raptured. He evidently had left the earth with no trace of himself.This hunt was when I started wanting to learn more about hunting elk up close.

So, I've put together a group of some of the best elk hunters I know to help us all learn how to find bull elk and get them in close.* Wayne Carlton is known far and wide from the TV shows he's done, his work with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the numerous elk hunting videos he's produced for Hunter's Specialties.* Mike Miller is an elk guide and a member of the Mossy Oak Pro Staff, who explains that, "If you can overcome the most common mistakes that bowhunters make when elk hunting, you drastically can increase your odds for taking a nice bull."* Ralph Ramos, a member of the PSE and Mossy Oak Pro Staffs and a lecturer on elk hunting, has learned that having the ability to call elk is important to your success, as is knowing how to manipulate elk to put them within 20 or 30 yards of the shooter.* Bill Custer and Jeff Propst are do-it-yourself and public land elk hunters. Finding and taking a nice bull on public lands is probably one of the most difficult ways to hunt, but these guys will give you some helpful tips.* Cindi Richardson breaks the mold of elk hunting being only a man's sport. Cindi has taken a record book elk and helps her husband, Corky, guide elk hunters and free-range buffalo hunters every year.* Pete Shepley, the founder of PSE Archery, is totally infected with the elk hunting virus. He's the consummate student of trying to learn how to find elk and get them in close.* Parrey Cremeans, who hunts and guides for elk in California, and Ronnie "Cuz" Strickland, the vice president of television and video production for Mossy Oak, both will tell you the thrill of stepping out of your vehicle in elk country, ready for an adventure of a lifetime.* Corky Richardson is one of the few men alive who's guided hunters to big elk and taken monstrous bulls himself. Corky guides and hunts in Arizona and New Mexico, the states with some of the densest populations of monster elk.Too, everyone likes to talk about how big the bull's antlers are, but those of us who have hunted elk know how delicious elk meat is, and we've included a couple of our favorite recipes. I also like to learn unique facts about the critters I hunt, and Chapter 11 of this book is titled, "Unusual Facts about Elk." You'll be surprised how much you learn about elk.
