I read it too, BC, and enjoyed in the same way you did. The stories of the ones that got away are the ones I enjoyed the most; maybe because I think of those so often myself. When I kill one, I usually don't think about it a lot afterwards, but that birds that get away haunt my dreams. Andy's book provides a good mixture of both, and I was really able to identify with all his stories.

This would make a great gift for a turkey hunter. It's one that would be sure to be read!
