Softcover. Condition: Like New. New Old Stock (Image may not match stock photo). Originally published circa 1924, this edition with an extra front and back cover added for protection, and a foreword and a brief note on the first page of the reprinted copy to identify it as a reprint and not a counterfeit of Turpin's book. Otherwise, the book is reprinted by photographic technology exactly as it originally appeared, metal staples and all. There are no deletions and no additions. With photos, 72 pages. The work is the second book on turkey hunting ever published, though it is the most desirable of all turkey books in terms of rarity and importance (Casada). With information on how to make a wing bone turkey caller, and chapters on hunting techniques, the meaning and use of the cluck, yelping, young gobbler calling, lost Kee Kee call of young turkeys, hunting the old gobbler in the mating season, and more. Tom Turpin was known in his day as a skilled call maker and caller, hunter, craftsman-innovator, and sometime magazine writer. Today's turkey hunters know him mainly for the wingbone yelper that carries his name--a trumpet type employing the modified radius bone of the hen turkey or sometimes a mouth piece fabricated from other material. Besides the "Turpin Turkey Yelper" he also made turkey box calls, duck calls, and crow calls. Turpin was born in 1872. His last hunting trip was for ducks in 1950. He died in 1957 at age 85.
