Turkey Killer

Jack Rumsey and his wife, Bonnie, moved from their small farm in Davie County to the mountains of North Carolina. They lived peacefully in those old mountains and almost forgot the tragedies that happened to Jack’s friends. As the time passed, Brian, Mike, and Yeoman’s murder had become a faint memory. Until the day that Yeoman’s grandson, Cannon, tracked Jack down and confronted him about the mystery of his grandfather’s death. Jack felt that he needed to tell Cannon about memories and stories that he had made with Yeoman and their hunting friends. The stories begun at Jack’s shed where the friends overindulged in food and drink while swapping lies and planned hunting trips to Texas, and finally Virginia.

Jack and his friends flew to Texas for a greatly anticipated deer hunt in the desert. Once in Texas, they found scorching heat, a lack of big game, and a host Blaine Thomas, incapacitated by alcoholism and nightmares of his tours in Vietnam.

After a disastrous hunt in Texas, Blaine made arrangements for Jack, Brian, Mike, and Yeoman to hunt turkeys in the mountains of Virginia. It is exactly the kind of hunt and opportunity that excites them-beautiful country, challenging game, and a rustic hunting lodge. However, their host had strict rules and an angry and demanding son who seemed determined to take all the fun out of the hunt.
