Betcha get a lot of different responses on this one.

I'd say "Turkey Hunters Digest" by Dwain Bland as #1.

Then there are several others which are really good:
"Turkey Season" an Outdoor Life compilation
"Spring Gobbler Fever" by Michael Hanback
"Hunting America's Wild Turkey" by Toby Bridges

Seems like a lot of the books contain information that is more pertinent to hunting in the South and Midwest which makes sense because these are traditional turkey areas.  However, there is growing interest in hunting turkeys in the west, both by those of us who live here and by others who are interested in traveling here. . . . a new book on contemporary turkey hunting in the west would be dynamite if the right author took the lead.

Just my 2 cents.

I think I've read every book and watched every video out there. Learned something from everyone. But honestly the best book out there is called "The book of hard knocks" Nothing replaces the day in day out, one on one with the wily turkey! If I could only figure out how to put in all in a book. I would make a fortune! And you will never learn it all. Just when you think you know it all, they will throw you a loop!

Tenth Legion by Tom Kelly.  All his books are good, but this on looks into the heart and soul of a turkey hunter. And he has a great dry humor.
