Tales from the Turkey Woods: Mornings of My Better Days

By Mike Joyner

Continuing where Hills of Truxton: Stories and Travels of a Turkey Hunter leaves off, acclaimed nature author and outdoorsman Mike Joyner gives fans Tales from the Turkey Woods: Mornings of My Better Days, a second rousing and entertaining glimpse into the adventures of a turkey hunter. The perfect read for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, this collection of over thirty vignettes celebrates the art of hunting, its requisite patience, tenacity, and the camaraderie it instills in aficionados of the turkey woods. Turkey hunting is definitely not a spectator sport; this collection of spring and fall turkey hunting stories shares what makes a memorable morning in the turkey woods. Filled with family, friends, frustrations, and fun, this fascinating collection stakes a bold claim on more than a few memorable hunts in the great turkey woods, that special place where men and women learn about themselves following the erratic tracks of the wild turkey.

In these pages, Joyner brings readers back into the timber at first light, to the cold mornings, the stubborn gobblers, the close calls, and the rare perfect setups that become stories retold for years. With the seasoned voice of a lifelong hunter, he captures the humor, grit, and quiet reflection that define time spent in the turkey woods. Each vignette stands as a reminder of why hunters rise before dawn, why the hunt matters, and why certain mornings linger long after the season ends.

Whether you're a veteran longbeard chaser or someone who simply appreciates the allure of wild places, Tales from the Turkey Woods: Mornings of My Better Days offers a heartfelt return to the hunts, the people, and the lessons that shape a life lived outdoors.
