Description
Archibald Rutledge's Turkey Hunting Tales
Softcover, 211 Pages.
During the first half of the twentieth century, Archibald Rutledge hunted wild turkeys in the woodlands surrounding his ancestral South Carolina plantation. He became wise in the ways of the wary creature and wrote prolifically about the sport. In this collection, noted outdoor writer Jim Casada gathers thirty-four of Rutledge's finest turkey-hunting yarns. From his many encounters with wild turkeys—and from the lengthy periods of reflection during his searches for the elusive bird—he grew wise in their ways.
A master of mood and setting, Rutledge invites the reader to share in the quiet anticipation and breathless uncertainty of the sport. These tales will enthrall—and perhaps even instruct—experienced hunters.
"Story-telling at its best from the grand old era of outdoor writers. This collection will inspire yet another generation of turkey hunters and adventures." —Turkey Call
