Mississippi's Ronnie "Cuz" Strickland regales his experiences of the wonderful world of turkey hunting in his latest book from Stoeger Publishing, "The Whole Truth About Spring Turkey Hunting According to Cuz.'" This new book offers rollicking and sometimes sidesplitting tales of turkey hunting and turkey hunting lore from someone whose experience in the field spans several decades. These southern fried tales will keep readers turning the pages of this new 120-page book.
Years of experience in the outdoor industry both behind a firearm, and now behind the lens of a camera, provide Cuz with plenty of tales to tell. His low-key approach and southern style of story telling add a unique flavor to this book. "The Whole Truth About Spring Turkey Hunting According to Cuz.'" takes readers on adventures of misery, mistakes, misadventures and even success, all of which portray the truth about hunting spring gobblers. It is experiences like these that keep spring turkey hunters coming back for more and sets them apart from other hunters. The uniquely spun tales are not designed to teach or instruct, however, upon the completion of the book, readers will have learned a thing or two about turkey hunting in a manner, which only Cuz can share.
