Spring turkey season<\/a> is still a few days away in Michigan.\u00a0 We are all pretty much stuck at home right now waiting for the pandemic to slow down enough that we can return to normal.\u00a0 This is a great time to kick back and do some quality reading about hunting.\u00a0 Here are a few essential books (in no particular order):<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tenth Legion<\/span><\/a>: Col. Tom Kelly<\/p>\n

This is arguably the best book ever written on turkey \"\"hunting.\u00a0 Tom Kelly grew up in Alabama.\u00a0 The book compares the army of turkey hunters who hit the woods every spring and fall to Julius Caesar’s famed 10th legion.\u00a0 Filled with anecdotes, tips, and just the right amount of southern charm.\u00a0 Consider this required reading if you are a turkey hunter<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That Wild Country<\/span><\/a>: Mark Kenyon<\/p>\n

\"\"Mark, a Michigan native, has spent many years of his life traveling to the great public lands of the United States.\u00a0 This book tells the story of those public lands.\u00a0 You will learn about why they exist, Mark’s own stories visiting those places, and what we need to do to keep them public.\u00a0 It is a complicated issue presented in a very approachable manner.\u00a0 Not strictly about hunting, but written by a hunter, it is a great portrait of America’s greatest treasure: that wild country.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game: Vol. 1 Big Game<\/span> <\/a>Steven Rinella<\/p>\n

\"\"This book is expansive in scope and content, truly living up to the title “The Complete Guide”.\u00a0 Includes lists of quality gear to buy, full-color instructions for field dressing and butchering every big game species you could imagine, and unique recipes to help you prepare your next big game meal.\u00a0 This book is informative, fun to read, and the first place to start if you are planning on hunting a species that is new to you.\u00a0 It even includes biological information about each animal and the best way to locate and hunt them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Bears and Bear Hunting<\/span><\/a>: Duncan Gilchrist<\/p>\n

\"\"Gilchrist was a guide in Alaska for many years.\u00a0 Best known for his books on sheep and mountain goat hunting, his true passion was guiding hunts for Alaskan bears.\u00a0 This book is filled with information about Brown and Black Bears and amazing stories from his 25 years as a guide.\u00a0 Out of print, but worth finding if you can pick up a used copy.\u00a0 Beautifully leather-bound, this is the book you will be giving to your grandchildren someday.\u00a0 Caution: It may make you want to buy a bush plane and move to Alaska.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Precision Bowhunting<\/span><\/a>: John Eberhart<\/p>\n

\"\"Another book by a Michigan native, John Eberhart has a collection of bucks on his wall like few other living people.\u00a0 The godfather of saddle hunting, he outlines a year-round approach to planning for and hunting mature whitetail deer.\u00a0 All the more impressive is the fact that John killed most of his mature bucks exclusively on public land and properties he gained free permission on in Michigan.<\/p>\n
