Book Overview
In the sport of turkey hunting, there are certain accomplishments which point towards just how fervently a person pursues the wiliest and most cunning game bird in America. One such feat is the taking of a gobbler in all 49 states holding springtime seasons (only Alaska does not), and that's called a U.S. Super Slam. A number of elite hunters have achieved one, while a rapidly growing population is currently trying to join the club. None can match Tom "Doc" Weddle's four, and besides that, he has only two states remaining for an unheard of fifth This book details the years 2007-2018, as gleaned from Doc's daily hunting journal and camera. Fellow hunters who thrill to the magic found in the turkey woods will most surely find common ground and lots of entertainment in reading of this man's many adventures.
As his three previous books have shown, Doc is not "normal." He has designed a life centered around turkey hunting for three months straight every year, and nothing else matters besides that one singularly-focused goal. He spends almost all of that time hunting on public lands. While Doc's vast accomplishments might hint otherwise, the only numbers that he really cares about are the tally of days spent listening to the melodious notes of tom turkeys gobbling in every type of habitat where they can be found. Life is short, and a day of spring not spent out in the turkey woods is a day wasted. The author's battle cry of, "Don't let them pass you by" should be advice heeded by all of us
