The Fire Tower: Alabama Turkey Hunting - Hardcover

Though the absolute numbers of individuals who will shoot a turkey are increasing, dedicated turkey hunters who carry their passion as a title or approach it in a manner as being more important than a profession remain sparse. The Fire Tower presents a rare glimpse into the reflections of just such a dedicated turkey hunter. In its simplest form, it is a book of stories. But it is also a book that interweaves a degree of philosophical opinion while at the same time paying tribute to three authors who have profoundly influenced the author's pursuit through their literary works. The attempt is to connect the past and present and let the already printed arguments hold the water. The unlegislated rules regarding turkey hunting have already been written once, and he sees no reason to reword them in credit of himself. It would do all of us modern day turkey hunters a bit of good to review the thoughts of past generation turkey hunters. Besides, a few things they used to do just may have been better.
