East of the Slash

East of the Slash is a collection of stories that chronicle one of the south's earliest turkey-hunting clubs-the OK Hunting Club. The Ok Hunting Club was founded in a region that was one of the few where the turkey was plentiful in an era when the wild turkey bordered on extinction in most areas of the United States. Blending humor with nostalgia, the author transports the reader from the origins of the unique hunting club itself to tales of legendary turkeys and the hunters who pursued them there. The author, whose father was one of the hunting club's founders, offers 25 captivating tales, all true, of some of the most colorful hunters and wild birds ever seen. Though not a textbook on how to hunt the wild turkey, the book shares with the reader many of the author's observations and his insight on the sport gleaned from a lifetime of pursuing the world's most extraordinary game animal.
