Author Biography

Mike Joyner, Veteran turkey hunter for 22+ years. He began deer hunting with a bow, and small game back in 1985. It wasn't until he heard the massive gobbling of a flock of gobblers disrupted and scattered by incoming deer hunters one very cold morning during late deer season that gave cause to pursue the wiley wild turkey. The following year- May 1993 was his first season, and he never looked back. Since then, Mike has pursued his favorite game bird in 14 states, achieving two wild turkey grand slams, and a top twenty NWTF scoring gobbler in his home state of NY. That experience resulted in 9 years of volunteer service to the New York State of the National Wild Turkey Federation as a board member, also serving as it's President from 2000 to 2004.
