The Old Pro Turkey Hunter
Author: Gene Nunnery
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496820002
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
During his life, Gene Nunnery was recognized as a master turkey hunter and an artisan who crafted unique, almost irresistible turkey calls. In The Old Pro Turkey Hunter, the vaunted sportsman shares over fifty years of personal experience in Mississippi and surrounding states, along with the decades-old wisdom of the huntsmen who taught him. Throughout the book, his stories make clear that turkey hunting is more than just killing the bird—it is about matching wits with a wild and savvy adversary. As Nunnery explains, “To me that’s what it’s all about: finding a wise old gobbler who will test your skill as a turkey hunter.” Through his stories, Nunnery reveals that the true reward for successful turkey hunting lies in winning the contest, not necessarily exterminating the foe. Real sportsmen know that every now and then the turkey should and will elude the hunter. As Nunnery looks back on his extensive career, he analyzes vast differences in practice, old and new. The shift, he decides, came during his last twenty years on the hunt, and that difference has only increased in the decades since this book was originally published. Michael O. Giles, Bass Pro staff team member, master turkey hunter, and award-winning outdoors writer and author of Passion of the Wild, writes a new foreword that brings the practice of turkey hunting into the present day. Filled with a tested mixture of common sense and specific examples of how master turkey hunters honor their harvest and heritage, The Old Pro Turkey Hunter is the perfect companion for the novice or the adept.

The Whispered Teachings of Grandmother Trout
Author: Kathy Sparrow
Publisher: Writable Life
ISBN: 9780998249216
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Ali Stephenson has it all--a secure position at Southern Style Magazine where she's risen to the ranks of managing editor, and all the trappings that a six-figure salary makes possible. She has good friends, practices yoga daily, and takes long strolls on the beach near her home on the Chesapeake Bay. Yet, little does she know, she's about to be set-up to take over Joe Driscoll's role as publisher. Before that occurs, however, Joe sends Ali on assignment to write about fly fishing on the Lower Laguna Madre in deep South Texas. There, Ali is forced to face a past that she has been diligently keeping at bay. Like many women, Ali has a history of choosing unavailable men, stemming from childhood wounding by an abusive father who murdered her mother, leaving her to be raised by her grandparents in the Blue Ridge Mountains. However, all of that changes when the feisty lodge owner, Mama Kate, who has a deep devotion to the divine feminine, challenges Ali to face her demons and embrace her inner wisdom. The Whispered Teachings of Grandmother Trout is best described as the feminine version of A River Runs Through It, combining nature, spirituality, and the complexity of navigating human relationships. While it is a woman's coming of age novel, men connect with the prominent male characters, especially Captain Jack Cooper, Ali's fly-fishing guide, and Gus Gammons, Mama Kate's faithful companion, whose complicated relationship with Kate mirrors Ali's resistance to trust her.

Carving Fish Decoys
Author: James T. Cottle
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781626543911
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Fish decoys were originally used by Native and Early American ice fisherman to lure food fish within range of their spears. Carved and painted to mimic the appearance and behavior of prey for pike and muskies, the hand-crafted fish decoy has become enshrined in American culture as a treasured form of traditional folk-art. Although the practicality--and sanity--of ice-fishing with spears is up for debate, traditional fish-decoys have seen a recent surge in interest and have become highly sought-after both as collectables and to be used under the ice. If you're someone who appreciates traditional American folk art and you want to learn to carve your own fish decoys, then this is the book for you. Life-long fisherman and decoy-carving instructor James Cottle makes it fun and easy to get started with detailed instructions, contextual information, history lessons, and tips on tools and techniques. This book contains 22 traceable patterns for decoys including trout, perch, bass, suckers, walleye, pike, muskies, sunfish, and walleyes, plus a mouse and a frog. Every step of the process is described clearly, with instructions that will guide you through cutting, carving, weighting, painting, and adding fins and tail to your decoy. Then it's ready to use--on your mantle or under the ice. With full color photographs of finished decoys and tips for developing your own painting style, this is the definitive guide to making your own traditional fish decoys.
