America, Wild Turkeys & Mongrel Dogs: Life Lessons From a Hunting Master

Bert Jones

With humility and humor, the late Kenny Morgan uses witty tales to examine simpler times, with a cast of colorful characters and shenanigans. With relevance - life lessons - for our time. Lush photos of wildlife and American landscapes join Kenny's musings on 50 years of pursuing the wild turkey-and the practice to live artfully. Kenny wrote a collection of humorous stories centered around turkey hunting, wildlife behavior, and growing up in the small Louisiana town of Jackson in the mid-20th century. His lovable, but uncivilized childhood dog, Buster, serves as a symbol for human nature, with the gentle reminder that "how you act matters." A collection of lush images of wildlife and American landscapes, plus vintage photos of everyday life in a simpler time, add an interesting flavor to the book. The book brims with turkey hunting technique. But its observations of wildlife will ensnare hunters and non-hunters alike. This sumptuous coffee table book makes a special gift, or a classic addition to your collection that you'll come back to time and again. "Kenny Morgan was a human anachronism, a man out of place and time. He was born in the 20th century, but should have traveled with Lewis and Clark. He was raised in humble environs, but had an Ivy League mind. He fought in Vietnam and might well have been scarred, but he was at peace with himself, his God, his family, and his friends -- and had a quick laugh and penetrating wit."
