"Each morning that we awake is a blessing in of itself... I have found those early spring mornings, sitting in the forests as the sun rises, to be my better days."
Rooted in that simple truth,
Hills of Truxton: Stories & Travels of a Turkey Hunter invites readers into the world of a man who has spent more than a decade chasing longbeards across the ridges, hollows, and haunts he has become so attached to. Filled with colorful colloquialisms and enlightening anecdotes, this collection is as rare as a triple-spurred gobbler; a genuine, heartfelt tribute to the craft, culture, and characters of turkey hunting.
Author Mike Joyner, a veteran hunter and outdoorsman, recounts the stories gathered over twelve years of devoted pursuit. From hard-earned tips and field-tested techniques to tall tales, close calls, and the unpredictable music of turkey talk, Joyner offers an easily referenced text that entertains as much as it educates. His voice carries the grit of early mornings, the humor of campfire storytelling, and the reverence of someone who knows the woods as both teacher and companion.
Richly illustrated with incredible photographs, informative maps, and practical charts,
Hills of Truxton is more than a hunting book; it's a celebration of heritage, wild places, and the mornings that shape a life outdoors.
Perfect for seasoned hunters, new enthusiasts, and nature-lovers alike, this collection stands as a testament to the joy, challenge, and quiet wisdom found in the turkey woods.
