John Higley has been hunting turkeys and writing about turkey hunting for forty-two years. He is also the author of Hunting Wild Turkeys in the West and Hunting Blacktail Deer. He lives in Shasta County, in the heart of the one of California’s best turkey hunting regions, but still manages to travel to other states to hunt turkeys each spring. Along with writing about turkey hunting, Higley has also written articles about hunting most of the big game in North America.
