I have heard that book described as the Holy Grail of turkey hunting books. Almost impossible to find.

And just think, someone once paid probably less than $5 for it NEW!  darn, I wish I had not let my grandma give my baseball cards to my cousins and that I had put my '67 GTO up on blocks! Oh, well....

Unfortunately, the new one will never be as valuable or as sought after, as the original!   *cheers*
