Turkey Hunting, Then and Now

This book is all about hunting wild turkey throughout the central Pennsylvania counties of Mifflin, Centre and Huntingdon. It's a collection of the many hunts experienced by the author and his turkey hunting companions from the fall of 1943 until the present. Each and every story is true. Not only are they entertaining, but they teach the do's and don'ts of turkey hunting. As the stories unfold, we'll be sneaking, setting up, calling, listening and watching. Sometimes we're successful; sometimes we're not. We soon learn, however, that some of our best memories are about the turkeys that got away.

Larry Harshbarger was born and reared in Yeagertown, a small town in central Pennsylvania. A Penn State graduate, he is now retired after 35 years with the Steel Industry in Quality Control Management. For 64 years, he has hunted wild turkey on the mountains and ridges of central Pennsylvania. Larry has been published in many outdoor magazines, and has previously written and published a book about his boyhood years growing up in Yeagertown. His love of the outdoors and writing has led him to pen this book and share with others his lifetime pursuit of Pennsylvania's wild turkey.
