Tom "Doc" Weddle is a carpenter from Bloomington, Indiana. In 1983 he was lured into the sport of turkey hunting by a friend's mesmerizing tales that made goose bumps run down his spine and the hair on the back of his neck stand at attention. As exciting as those stories were, they couldn't prepare him for what happened when he first heard a wild turkey's gobble, and from that moment onward, this man became a turkey hunter above anything and everything else in life. Still to this day, nothing thrills him more than standing on a hardwood ridge at the crack of dawn, listening to those same melodious notes as the King of Spring rattles the woods apart with reverberating gobbles. That's when the stars all align for this "Turkey Man," and that's when he most feels alive! This is Weddle's fourth book recounting tales of his turkey hunting exploits, with plans to keep writing future volumes until the day his ashes lie scattered amongst stately oaks and hickories. Deep in the woods is where Doc has always found his greatest inner peace anyway, and that's where he plans to spend eternity - in some quiet place where an occasional gobble might make his short hairs stand up.
