Coosa County Turkey Tales - Paperback

by Joel D. Glover (Author), Melanie J. Glover (Other)

If you enjoy a challenge, if you like being humbled, if getting outdone regularly by a bird that has a brain the size of a marble appeals to you, then turkey hunting might just be for you! Seriously, I have been so blessed by God to live in an area with a good turkey population and the opportunity to pursue them! I often refer to the wild turkey as the monarch of the woods. If you have had the opportunity to watch him do his thing in the woods you know what I mean.

I've heard the claim that a turkey can see you blink your eye from twenty yards away. I swear I've had them do it. Believe me when I say they are a formidable adversary!

Inside are several of my favorite turkey stories. I hope you enjoy them. I want to thank my turkey hunting mentors Blake Kelley and Phillip Blake for facilitating my addiction.I love you both.

Mostly I thank God above. I bowed over every turkey I killed and thanked the Lord for letting me have the experience. By the time this is in print, I will likely be with the Lord due to cancer. There had not been any cancer in my family prior to mine. That just lets us know that tomorrow isn't guaranteed. There is a statistic out that says one out of one people dies. We will all spend eternity somewhere. Choose Jesus!
