Understanding The Wild Turkey

The first volume of a projected five-part videocassette series on hunting the wild turkey, Understanding the Wild Turkey is an introduction to the Eastern Wild Turkey, hosted by turkey hunting authority Rob Keck, and produced in association with the Federal Cartridge Company, and the National Rifle Association of America. After a slow start, Mr. Keck gets down to business with how to identify gobblers (male wild turkeys) from hens (female wild turkeys), their needs, both daily and seasonal, lifestyle, behavior, and senses and abilities. As the subject headings indicate, there is a lot of repetitious information in this program. In fact, the entire video could have been done in under 20 minutes and conveyed the same amount of information. Too, there are constant references made throughout the program to a guidebook, which the enclosed tape publishing schedule shows will be released in December 1987, following the other four tapes in the series. Given the amount of information duplicated on this initial volume, we can't begin to imagine what the next four hours hold in store. Recommended only where there is strong demand.
