Turkey Hunting Tactics of the Pros: Expert Advice to Help You Get a Gobbler This Season »

Currently a Field Editor for Bowhunting World and co-host of The Big Outdoors radio program, Richard Combs has written for most of the major outdoor publications. A dedicated outdoorsman with a passion for turkey hunting, this is his second book on the subject.

Outdoor writer and broadcaster Richard Combs has had the good fortune to know and hunt with world-champion turkey callers, renowned turkey hunting guides, and many of the most well-known turkey hunters in the nation. While a rained-out hunt might seem an unlikely source of inspiration, it was just that sort of day that sparked the idea for Turkey Hunting Tactics of the Pros. With an informal, conversational style, Combs invites the reader to imagine himself in a cabin on a rainy day, listening in as more than a dozen expert turkey hunters discuss nearly every conceivable aspect of their favorite sport.
The experts contributing to this book debate scouting techniques and argue the merits of covering ground and calling aggressively compared to calling sparingly and relying on patience. Other topics include afternoon hunting, bow hunting turkeys, choosing optics for a turkey gun, calling tricks, setting up on wary birds, outwitting silent gobblers, hunting the Grand Slam, and last-ditch tactics. There is also a special section on hunting fall turkeys with dogs, and a chapter of recipes. Reading Turkey Hunting Tactics of the Pros is the next best thing to going turkey hunting with the most outstanding turkey hunters in the United States.
