That's something I was naive about...I always figured if you could write or talk the talk you could walk the walk.

About 25 years ago I met one of the well known turkey hunting writers....I won't call any name because people still see him as an authority on the subject....when I met him I was shocked when handed any type turkey call he was mediocre at best when it came to playing it.

After meeting him I discussed this with Art Carter...his reply was he's a good writer.

It changed my whole perspective on turkey hunting.
